Lonely Planet review for Wilensky’s Light Lunch
It’s like walking onto a 1950s movie set the moment you step in the door here. Terminally grumpy staff make no effort to hide the fact that cranking out your hand-pumped soda and Wilensky’s special is likely the most disagreeable task they’ve ever experienced. Rickety wooden stools line the counter and photographs from the 1930s adorn the walls. This place was immortalized in Mordecai Richler’s novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and the subsequent film, but it’s equally famous for grilled meat sandwiches and its chopped egg sandwich.
