Excellent experience from start to finish. We sat ourselves and had a waitress attend to us very quickly. The coffee was excellent.
We shared the grilled cinnamon bun to start and it was excellent, crispy on one side and chewy on the other.
I ordered the the smoked farmers sausage and eggs. Everything was cooked exactly right, the texture of the hash browns were a bit off putting at first but once I stopped expecting crunch they were delicious. The toast was perfectly toasted which is hard to find sometimes but it definitely matters. My boyfriend got the day breaker and he too was very pleased. He said “it was more than enough food” which is his bar for success at a restaurant.
Bonus points do the house made hot sauce.
Will definitely be back to try the Perogies.
I've been here a few times for lunch and so has my husband. We both love it! There are lots of items on the menu that are familiar yet the recipes make them brand new! Good comfort food that is cooked perfectly. I love the perogies! The service is friendly, but can be a bit slow. Good place to stop in for a work lunch or to have breakfast on the weekend. Their menu has lots of meal choices.
Went here for lunch. Very friendly staff and very yummy food! I ordered chicken finger plate with a choice of fries as a side. Food tasted very fresh and the fries were delicious.
I have been meaning to check out this restaurant for at least a year and I am so happy that I finally have!
the food was delicious and made exactly how we asked. not to mention it didn't take long to receive our breakfasts(and side of pancakes).
even better than the food was the SERVICE! wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! so attentive and helpful and sweet!
this is now one of my favorite places to go. must try their lunch items soon!
I love to come here for breakfast. If you arrive between 7 and 9 am, they serve breakfast specials for less than $6. The portion is smaller than their regular menu breakfasts which will fill you up for sure. I can never finish a breakfast from their regular menu.
They serve a Vietnamese coffee for $4. I don't recommend it. It's only the size of a coffee cup and gets cold faster than their regular coffee.
Known properly as The Don Restaurant, this place was one I visited, generally for takeout, when I worked at L.C. Taylor and Company as it’s just across Broadway and down Donald a little. I didn’t visit because of the name, because I dislike being called Don and much prefer Donald as you might guess from the blog title.
A gem of downtown Winnipeg, and likely the only Mennonite diner in the city. If you like proper Mennonite food, try the Prairie Sunrise with delicious homemade perogies, cream gravy, eggs and farmer sausage. I've always had great service and great food no matter the day or time.
Love this place. Second time for breakfast and it was fabulous again. Service was super prompt and friendly, coffee delish and hot. Of course, the real reason you're here...the food was very good. I'd say nearly superb but my medium poached eggs were definitely soft, which luckily I don't mind. All in all its a must to try! This time around I had the Gloms Kauk breakfast (cottage cheese pattie) - great with their house hot sauce. Hubby had corned beef Eggs Ben and the meat was ridiculously tender. Tasty tasty food!
Went today for breakfast with family; breakfast servings were generous but the fruit parfait was skimpy, a lot of apples, one blackberry on top and a lot of plain yogurt..for $7.00 there should have been more fruit (apples excluded)! It was disappointing because the other breakfast plates were substaintial....My first visit so on my second....I won't order the fruit parfait!
This is my go to spot for breakfast. The service is always great and the food is delicious! The swiss mountain omelette is my favourite with a side of pizza perogies.
I visited this restaurant with the introduction of a friend. I visited when there were many customers and waited for a while, but I was able to eat delicious food.
The server were friendly and busy, but the food was delicious. The smoothie was also fresh and sweet. I would like to visit with my family next time.
I went to The Don Restaurant with my friend. First, the service was so good. They always laughed. Also, the food was very clean and the taste was fantastic. The taste of all foods was soft and light. I want to visit again with my parents. 😊
We have been frequenting The Don for six years and have enjoyed our breakfasts every time. What brought me back the first time is there choice of eggs. Nice dark yolks (free range) and butcher cut bacon. If you like local classics I'd give the cabbage borscht a go. I'd have given 5 stars but the owners have been struggling with finding good servers due to the recent situation. But the ever lovely Kori (owner) made it right when there was an issue.
Such a classic, homemade feeling kinda place. It never changes and that’s great. In the colder months, order the cabbage borscht!!
Love this place! The staff are always nice, and considering how busy they can get, they're good at keeping things moving along, refilling your coffee, clearing tables quickly for the next guests. My favourite is the Gloms Kuak - just outstanding. I could eat this every morning. They're good at making adjustments, too - they always make my bacon extra crispy :)
