I am a little surprised at the low rating of this place. I used to come here once or twice a month on my way to the university. I always get the breakfast bowl. The potatoes are uniquely cooked (maybe a pressure cooker then pan fried?) with nice spices. I agree with some of the other reviewers that say the ambience could use some work, but the service has always been great for me. Unfortunately, the owner takes some getting used to and comes off a little abrasive at first but I got to know him better and really enjoyed coming here. I need to go back and try other dishes though.
Very tasty breakfast food and extremely quick service. Reasonable prices as well. And this last sentence is just to hit 140 characters because I've said enough already.
I think this is the best Diner downtown, fast service great ambiance nice sand stone walls, the food is always up to fresh standards, I always go to the same, ordering the chicken pizza and prosseco.
Love it.
This Little Diner is a great place to have a business breakfast as it is fast and the food is delicious, the eggs benedict with salmon, fresh fruit and hash browns is the best. If you are doing lunch , the cabbage rolls and the french onion soup oven baked is the best soup hands down. I love the location in restaurant row steps from The Hyatt and Marriott
hotels.

A really cute place, nice decor for a greasy spoon type place.
We both enjoyed our meals, pretty standard breakfast fare. Service was friendly, a bit slow because there was only one server on - but it was still a really pleasant experience and we'll go back the next time we're in town.
I enjoyed the breakfast bowl here, it had lots of flavor. It was a bit over priced for what I got though. It was around $15.00 just for the breakfast dish. Service was a bit slow, however I would come back if I was in town again.
Great food! Great times. I would strongly recommend:)
Amazing Spot for Breakfast!. Very nice atmosphere, extremely clean and reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very cool. My coffee was always full, my water glass filled often and my plate of food enormous and delicious. I had a herb infused omelette with a side salad of fresh greens and fruit. The salad was crispy and fresh and full of delicious strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. My omelette was incredible. I can't describe it, you just have to go and try it. Very polite and attentive service. You could see the kitchen from where we sat and it was well-organized, clean, and full of 3 diligent and hard working cooks. Kudos to this place. I can't wait to go back.
Justin. I had a great breakfast at the Viinny today , and it was very full but they squeezed us in , I have to say no diner makes the hash as this place nicely spiced and a lot of it could not eat it all , eggs benny very nicely done , my partner just wanted to run into some celebrity as we did last year when we walked in and there was gorgeous Demi Moor & Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland , they were shooting a movie just outside of the city and they ate at this diner several times because the owners did not go crazy and phone all the news media in the City , I think that's cool , celebrities not always like a line up for autographs , we would defenetly recommend this ....(not pretentious little place )
Terrific Eggs Benedict. Excellent Eggs Benny!...ordered medium...perfect temperature each time...Hollandaise is perfect...best bennys in Calgary!

I fell in love with this place! It has a beautiful calm vibe. The staff was super friendly and attentive with our requests. Food is AMAZING, everything is so fresh and well done, food quantity per plate is perfect. I'm absolutely coming back if I ever visit Calgary again.
Come cross this unique diner while visiting Calgary this April. Right on stephan Ave, I came cross this diner one morning and decide to go in for a quick breakfast
The service was very friendly, and the interior of the diner is cozy and relaxing. I ordered a blueberry pancake and the taste was exceptional. I have to say it's one of the best blueberry pancake I have ever had. Coffee was delicious as well. If you ever visit Calgary, be sure to check out this little gem in downtown ❣️
Thank you for the great breakfast
Walked in and immediately felt like I was back home in my small town. The atmosphere gives you cozy and welcoming nothing like the busy bustling atmosphere outside. The lady who greeted me was very pleasant giving me all the time I needed to figure out my order and explain anything I needed.
The food was phenomenal. The waffles melted on my tongue and tasted of cinnamon with every bite.
Definitely 10/10! And I wish I had gone every day I had been here!
I will definitely remember this place for any other trips I make to the big city.
Nice little location just off Centre St & 8th Ave in the Downtown core; pleasant atmosphere with a vintage feel to it. Serving staff was attentive & polite; making sure that our water was topped up for our tea/ coffee.
Food was delicious; with a great portion size for what was ordered & prices so it didn't feel unjustified
All in all really enjoyed the experience & will be sure to go again in the near future
Great food and coffee. Wanted to try the coconut French toast but they were out. The service was a bit slow, they might need to hire more people.
