We’re Open During Yonge Street Construction
The Town of Midland has initiated the Yonge Street Reconstruction Project, with work scheduled from May to November 2025. This project involves significant infrastructure upgrades along Yonge Street.
For the time being we reccommend our customers to take Hugel Ave and turn on Eighth St towards Yonge St for easy access to the entry of our building.
Despite the construction, our restaurant remains open with regular hours. We are committed to providing the same quality service and dining experience you've come to expect. Stay posted for updates regarding detours and travel to the restaurant.

Our story begins within the mountains of Kandila, a small village in southern Greece where George Fotopoulos was born. When he turned twenty-three, he longed for a life beyond the mountains. With no knowledge of the English language, George travelled by plane to Canada with little to his name. Once he found his way to Toronto, he soon met Maria, who also immigrated to Canada from the coastal village of Pylos, Greece.
Together, the couple built a life out of nothing. They rented a small apartment in Scarborough on Midland Avenue before they saw an advertisement in the local newspaper that a restaurant in Midland, Ontario, was for sale. With an uncertain future, they decided it must be fate calling them to this small town. In 1976, the Fotopoulos’ took a chance on themselves in this new venture which is now The Arch Steakhouse.
Now, approaching fifty years in business with three generations of family working together, the restaurant is still flourishing. Maria and George often remind their grandchildren of the importance of family; perhaps this is the secret ingredient to the business’ success. In the present years, we have been working hard to provide our community with what we’ve always valued: quality food, familiar faces, and an inviting atmosphere that everyone can call home.
