The Tulip steak house has closed after 90 years in Toronto’s east end.

The venerable institution posted a statement on Facebook on Jan. 1 announcing the news.

“It is with great sadness that we must announce that The Tulip has closed. Unfortunately, business conditions have changed regarding our lease agreement in ways we can no longer accommodate, and we have been left with no choice.”

The old school eatery, which has operated under different ownerships since 1929, was popular for its modest decor, inexpensive prices and no-nonsense dishes.
