The menu had a lot to offer, so I'll remember this place on future trips up north!

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13). I decided to go with their tuna salad and chicken noodle soup. Upon recommendation from our server, I also ordered their cappuccino- it was very delicious. Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

So I thought I would support local business and order out. I got the fish and chips ( two pieces of haddock) coleslaw and onion rings. it was exactly what I needed.

The service was fast and friendly as well given the circumstances. I do hope these guys, as well as all restaurants in the neighborhood, can open fully again safely and quickly as possible . you are missed!!!

We loved the ambiance of this cozy place and looking at all the retro decor and old signage that were donated from people's garages, etc. Plus there was local art hanging on display.

We got to meet the owners Todd and wife Ashley who were wonderfully friendly. Todd also agreed that sunny side up eggs are the best! Todd inspired us when he said, "I don't provide food, I provide life." I'll definitely be back some day!

Shot moments after leaving this Montana's location with our takeout order. I order the sirloin. Even if I paid $10 or $15 for this piece of meat it would still be highly overpriced. But this gem cost $24.99- no joke- Being an avid traveler and not a big meat eater anymore, there's no way things in the food industry have changed THIS drastically!? Is this piece of meat the "new normal" maybe? If not, tell MONTANA's asap! I have NEVER in my entire life been sold "snake oil" in SIRLOIN! - This was a piece of meat so disgusting that I felt a part of Montana's disrespect serving it at all. Imagine the utter lack of integrity a business NEEDS IN ORDER to be ABLE to SERVE this? I don't know if you'll be able to tell just how bad it is from the video I shot with my phone propped by my seatbelt but I needed hands to show you bow this meat can't even be pulled apart by hands!!! I had to ask for togo silverware but it did no good. It couldn't come close to cutting it. And once you manage to pull a piece apart with your hands you SEE the poor quality' inside too. I'm writing to warn others but NOT because of how they cooked it- that could just be a one off cook or someone having a bad night! I'm writing instead because the bigger warning is a restaurant owner, a manager and a business would see this meat and still SELL AND SERVE IT! That says a lot more. Shame on you. At least take an accurate pic for your menu.
