White Lily Diner is a restaurant in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[5][6][7]

The restaurant is known for their all-day diner offerings, as well as rotating daily flavour varieties of doughnuts prepared by the restaurant's pastry chef Rachelle Cornish.[3]

The owners cited the diner concept of U.S. restaurant chain Waffle House as an inspiration for White Lily Diner's own model and some menu items, such as the patty melt.[8]
