Seine River Café is a good hole in the wall diner. Reminds me of home cooked. Prices are reasonable. If you're coming for a dining experience I would suggest you go elsewhere to save yourself from complaining. However if you're wanting a good meal that fills you up, I would suggest checking this place out.
The SRC Burger is a life changer: one of the best burgers I’ve had anywhere with this big pile of finely cut crispy fried onions and mmmm... also nice choice of sides including salad, fries, etc. We’ve also enjoyed many standard breakfast staples including eggs benny and a yummy breakfast poutine. Service is always friendly and helpful. Love this place!
Got there around 5 pm. No wait; seated immediately. There was one order of a beef dip and one order of a roast beef dinner and soup. Everything was excellent. The waitress was very efficient and friendly. Will need to come again and try something different.
Great place for breakfast lunch and supper very good portions great value for your dollar and the serving staff were fantastic here they make you feel at home
Not expensive and good. Sometimes, when I don't feel like cooking, I order "Veggie Skillet" through Skip the Dishes. I've been at the restaurant a few times as well but it's always full, lots of people so a bit too noisy for me.
Good place for breakfast. It's your average little diner. Portions are a good size and the food tasted good. It wasn't spectacular but for the price I would go back.
Terrific little place, a family-owned diner style atmosphere ideal for a casual weekend bite. We popped in for Sunday breakfast and were delighted to have so many options to choose from. On this visit we ordered the Mexican omelette with beef, cheese, green onions and topped with salsa and sour cream; as well as the Benedict omelette - which combines the best of traditional Eggs Benedict and a ham and cheese omelette. Service was fast and friendly.
Every so often there’s a place that I’m very aware of, but never get around to visiting. Seine River Cafe is one such place. Located in a strip mall on Provencher Avenue, just past the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain. I’m generally at the CCFM several times in a year, but never seem to make it the extra half block farther east. Perhaps I need to develop a habit of walking longer distances.
A great little breakfast nook in St. B that has great service and decently priced food.
It's good to find a place that does breakfast well and this place does it. Unlimited fountain of coffee and quite busy the closer you get to brunch, so I recommend getting here early if you don't want to wait.
Decent food but a bit slow to get a table. Not necessarily worth the wait as the breakfast is simple. One of my friends also had a problem with her food but it was taken care of promptly.
I've been here on a few occasions, only for breakfast, but each visit was fantastic. The food came out quickly, despite always being busy, and my eggs have always been prepared just right.
Service is friendly, restaurant is clean, and the food is top notch. Highly recommended!
Best French toast I ever had! The cafe is a hole in the wall and a bit grungy but the food is really good and the service is good too. I highly recommend the French toast it's absolutely delicious!
Great breakfast here, everything is always so fresh and no matter the time of day that I have decided to pop in there are always tables - waitresses are very friendly and remember faces.
Had a terrible experience with Stella's in st.b on Mother's Day. Ended up going to Seine River Cafe and it was great! Great service, got us in quickly, very friendly staff and the food was fantastic! Definitely coming here again!!!
Tried this place for lunch and very busy but worth the wait. Ordered the Grilled chicken caesar's salad and was very good. Fast friendly service with ample parking. I'll be back to try their breakfast/brunch.
Came here last night with my aunt for supper. She had the Salisbury Steak special. She devoured it. Very tasty according to her. I had the chicken quesadilla. One of the best in the city. They season the chicken and it's loaded that it ends on your plate. Love it!
It is usually very busy here, and I can see why. The food is awesome! They have sone of the best shredded hashbrowns on planet earth, crispy and fully of chopped onion. We had the bacon cheddar burger and chicken fingers this time. The burger was very good, and a competiter for one of the best in the city. the chicken fingers were very tender inside, and beautifully crunchy outside, Im sure theyre homemade. The poutine was average, but good. Even the pepsi somehow tasted better here than anywhere else to both of us. The service isnt the greatest, but very good considering how many people come through here. Highly recommended!

This is a fave weekend breakfast joint and for more than just me... the restaurant is packed every weekend. The service is great and the food is consistently good, what else can you ask for. My breakfast pick is the Ranchers Breakfast which is Eggs, their home made beef patty, potatoes and toast. At lunch you can't go wrong with a burger (home made patty) or the king of the road roast beef sammy.
My partner ordered the King of the Road sandwich with hashbrowns on the side, and an order of the au jus normally served with the beef dip. I had a basic breakfast with two eggs, sausages, and pancakes. Very impressed by the quality of food. We watched the kitchen slice the roast beef for the sandwich to order, and it was incredible. Very good flavour and properly cooked. Au jus was good, but not amazing. Eggs cooked precisely to order, and the most delicious fluffy sweet pancakes I've had in ages. Let's talk hashbrowns though. Hashbrowns can be so polarizing. These are shredded ones, possibly from frozen (hard to really tell), but cooked beautifully. The crispy bits were crisp and golden and not burnt or hard. The crispiness was nicely distributed throughout the whole portion, so each bite had that snap of fried potato. The rest of the potato was firm and well cooked, rather than soggy, squishy, or grainy like they are in so many other places. For me, these hashbrowns were my holy grail. We were only there once, and around brunch time, just catching the tail end of what was clearly a busy Sunday breakfast, but we were very happy with our food and our service.
Great service, Great food,great people.
Everything is cooked perfect.from the sunny side up eggs to the burgers and crispy fries . And don't forget the gravy mmmm. Well worth stopping in and filling up.
Best family owned restaurant. Awesome service, awesome selection, awesome food. one of our favorite spots to dine!
Delicious home made foods!. This busy place is not that cheap. But everywhere prices are going up and most prices are fair.. Always made with fresh ingredients and this is a family style operation. I can not eat spicy foods and this place has food with taste and flavor but not the ridiculous spicy dishes nor sushi some people crave.
It has some personality, not like the pedestrian and predictable chain! YAWN!
The staff work very hard and aim to please, healthy sized portions.
I always receive tasty food here.
Breakfast is consistently hot and delicious. Home made potatoes, prepared in a variety of ways, delicious bacon, perfect eggs and very fluffy pancakes. Also, Fabulous toast, and French toast..
Some other non breakfast meals....Turkey...real true turkey in their meals, very tasty, savory soups.
I have to say one of the best chicken tenders to be found in the city, soft as marshmallows, they are real chicken breast fillet.Tried the home made Lasagna in August 2016 and it was very tasty. Less sauce than I am used to but so moist and every noodle almost seemed marinated in tasty seasonings with plenty of delicious and non greasy cheese.
I have yet to try the desserts. There is never any room.
Home made favorites. Been there with my dad once usually for lunch. Food is always home made And absoulutely delicious. Price is very reasonable as I'm starting to find alot of mom n pop places are getting expensive.
Me and a friend weren't extremely hungry and were just going to split a Bacon cheeseburger n Ceaser salad. The waitress totally picked up on it without us telling her and our burger came already cut in half. It's the awesome little things.
Breakfast of Champions. We first came here one Sunday morning when the line-up at Chez Cora - the chain down the street - was too long to be worth the wait. We've never looked back. The food here is wonderful, the service is great and the staff are always cheerful. The décor is your grandmother's living room circa 1988, but that's appropriate and comforting, as are the generous breakfasts.
And, one more thing of note - one of our party has serious allergies. The Seine staff are always careful and accommodating and have never made us feel as though dealing with that allergy is in any way an imposition. It is true that sometimes you have to wait for a little while to get a table, but I have always found it worth it.
Great little spot. Have been a few times and never disappointed. It can be busy so pick your times but the food is good and the staff friendly.
Great hashbrowns. We come here for breakfast now and again. I have had other things from the menu though. The homemade chicken fingers are quite good (as long as they aren't overcooked), as are the homemade onion rings. However, I usually just stick to back bacon and eggs. The shredded hashbrowns have arrived perfectly each time. Always crispy but never greasy or under done.
We go to the seine cafe regularly, the best breakfast place in Winnipeg bar none. Excellent staff, even better breakfast special. Coffee is always strong and fresh. Fantastic spot for breakfast!
I love seine river cafe. The food is fantastic. Excellent chicken burgers and clubhouse. Breakfast special is tasty and satisfying. The service is fast and friendly. The only draw back is its small dining room and cramped tables. Beacuse its usually busy the noise level can a bit much. Small sacrifice for a great restaurant. I will return again and again.
Always Good!. Been coming here for years! Great lil breakfast joint as well as lunch. Never dined for dinner, however I am sure their menu is just as good as their breakfast and lunch. Service is prompt and so is your order. It is a busy place so be patient as they do their best to seat you quickly.
Come here often. As usual the food and service was great!!!!
Great breakfast specials. I've heard good things about Seine River Cafe from the Winnipeg Breakfast blog. I went on a weekday morning and it was nearly packed. I've heard that on weekends, it's hard to get in. The place feels homey and family-run. Right when you walk in, they have a board listing quite a few breakfast specials. On their menu, none of their specials are listed though. I had the standard breakfast special with eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and toast. They have the option of shredded or homestyle hashbrowns, which I appreciate. The breakfast skillet was one of the best I've ever had. It's nice and baked in and packed with more than just just hashbrowns, eggs and a protein. The food tastes less greasy than a diner.
Had 1 hour to eat. My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new and decided with this restaurant. We had only an hour to eat so we were pretty nervous since there was 4 names ahead of us. I asked the server if quick breakfasts were possible as my boyfriend had to work at 12pm and we were in the middle of a Sunday brunch rush. She offered to take our order while we waited. We were seated within 15 minutes and received our drinks no more than a min after sitting down. 5 minutes later our food came and it was absolutely delicious. We were very pleased with the service and we definitely will be retuning in the near future. I should note... From the moment we got there at 10:45, we finished eating and paid by 11:25!
They have great food however they should serve more fries...potatoes are cheap....come on!
Great breakfast. Great bang for your buck. Lots of food to fill even the hungriest teenager. Not to mention it tasted good.
Fast. Affordable. Deliciious.. I don't think I've ever been here when it hasn't been packed with people. We've had lunch, breakfast and supper here and it's always fast and delicious.
Their breakfast is your typical breakfast fare, I always enjoy their burger and their beef dip is exactly what the title says, a lot of beef with a lot of dip.
Great place to eat.. I hear this place has lineups around the corner before it even opens on the weekends for breakfast, and with good reason! The food was fantastic! I got the Mexican Chicken Omellette w/pancakes & a side order of fries (it was suppertime and I'd missed out on lunch). All I can say is I'll never need to worry about ordering a side dish again, even if I've missed a meal, because the portions were just right for a big guy like me. Normally the pancakes served with breakfast are thin but these were about twice as thick as the normal ones I've seen at other restaraunts. The omellette was great (particularly with the sour cream it's served with) and very filling.
I'll definitely check this place out again and would recommend it to any of my circle of friends.
8.5/10
Service! Any time one considers the attractiveness of a potential dining place, service is always important. I am tough to impress when it comes to service, because the only thing that turns me off faster than rude or negligent service at a restaurant is that recent brand of phony, cloying, patronizing service of the big box store variety. Thankfully, Seine River Café boasts neither. Their service is sincere and attentive. Your server will recommend things without hesitation showing their confidence and investment in what they bring to your table. Which brings me to the food. I am not one for going out for brunch every Sunday. I usually don't like that I'm paying too much for something I can do a lot better in my kitchen. I also hate that in addition I usually must endure that Wal-Mart greeter style of service and the loud cramped dining experience. However, Seine River Café is more than worth it. These cooks pay close attention to little details... The texture is flawless. The Eggs Benedict, which I've had so many bad examples of that I seldom order it, was absolutely fabulous. Everything was crispy in all the right places, and while their Hollandaise sauce might not be the real deal, it as good as a real properly-made Hollandaise. (and no doubt as rich) All in all, it is a great place for a breakfast, perhaps Winnipeg's best, and I look forward to having supper here sometime.
New place for breakfast.. I went here for breakfast this weekend, after reading some very positive reviews. I am always looking for cute places to eat breakfast with my Fiance on the weekends.
I went early, as some reviews mentioned that it gets busy quick. We went right after it opened and it was already half full, which is a good sign to me. The staff were very friendly, and we got seated right away. I ordered the two eggs with hasbrowns and toast, no meat. My eggs were perfect, and the best poached eggs I have ever had. I am usually very picky with poached eggs, becuase I hate when they come in a seperate bowl full of water becuase the cook is too lazy to drain them, but here they were on my plate, no water, and they were cooked perfectly. The toast is huge, which is always a plus. I got a shredded hashbrowns and let me tell you, these are the best hashbrowns I have ever had. Nice and crispy with onions mixed in. My meal was only $5.99 which is super cheap! Perkins is out and Seine River Cafe is in!
Busy, happening place so get there early!. This place is packed on the weekends and with good reason... their homestyle breakfasts are great! It's a bustling little place but is well worth the wait!
Yummy Hash Browns!!!. Always searching for a good Sunday breakfast joint. I have to admit that I wasn't too thrilled to go here especially since it didn't look that inviting as we drove up to the place. But don't judge a book by its cover right? Actually, I had a great breakfast. This place was busy but not packed so we got a seat right away (granted we were arriving well after 1 pm). They serve breakfast all day so that's a plus.
I ordered the "Canadian back bacon and eggs" breakfast ($6.99) which includes toast (rye, white or brown) and hash browns or 3 buttermilk pancakes. I asked our server if she preferred the hash browns or the pancakes and she was emphatic that hash browns were the way to go. And boy was she right, I loved the hash browns here - probably one of the best I've had. They were loosely shredded potatoes (with some onion for flavour) and had a fantastic crispy exterior but perfectly cooked interior. It was almost like a latke except it wasn't (if that makes sense). They were perfectly seasoned - I'd go back just for the hash browns alone! The scrambled eggs and Canadian bacon were fine - you can't mess that up too much. Portions are good for the average person and prices are decent.
Went again and instead of toast/hashbrowns, I added fruit for an extra $2.49 to my breakfast. It was a large portion of super fresh and delicious fruit! Great price to have nearly half my plate full of bite sized pieces of cantaloupe, honeydew, apples and bananas. The pancakes are fluffy and thick - a nice treat but I think 3 on a plate are too much carbs for me.
My two issues with the place are:
- OJ is from concentrate and not fresh (not that they claimed that) but I prefer fresh juice
- toast was dripping with butter - I don't mind pre-buttered toast but there was way too much for my liking so I'll have to remember to tell them to skip that step. The good thing is that they bring you out an old school rack of PB and various jams in those disposable single serving packages (I haven't seen those in a while).
Otherwise, food service was prompt and the servers are super efficient and friendly! The decor is nothing special, things look a little cluttered as there are shelves in the dining room that act as extra storage for inventory. Nonetheless, the place feels warm and inviting.
The Seine River Cafe is a popular spot and they don't take reservations. 11 Burger Clubbers showed up at 11:30 thinking we'd beat the lunch rush but instead caught the tail end of the breakfast crowd of shiftless seniors. As dawdling diners finished up, the team of waitrii assembled tables for us like Lego. There was much consternation among them as they pushed tables around before grudgingly settling on an L-shaped configuration. I ended up in the bushes and Cary got the corner leaving his back exposed to attack from the rear, but as he put it â I enjoyed being molested, repeatedly, by April. I usually have to pay extra for that .â Itâs a nicely decorated restaurant and Jo-Ann â enjoyed the interesting artwork while waiting for food .â The service really was great â" even at the tail end of breakfast when the waitresses were probably expecting to
This restaurant is a gem tucked away in a St. Boniface location parking lot that you would miss after many times driving by! It is a very cozy, family run Cafe. We went for breakfast today and the food and service was unbeatable! There aren't too many places like this left. They have a large menu catering to everyone's tastes. I had a veggie skillet that was to die for! Highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed!!! 😀
Food was awesome, great service. my kids loved their meal and my wife and I had a great time also.
Eggs Benedict and their pepper sausage eggs Benedict 🤤 super yummy, borderline addictive, easy going staff, and a cozy sitting. Going out for coffee and breakfast? This is the place to be!
Ordered skip. Seine river café never disappoints.. food was delish, looked amazing and best part is it’s local.. one of my fav breakfast places. Yum :)
The food was excellent, and cheap. I would absolutely come back here. The service was a little slow, considering it wasn't that busy. However, that can definitely be forgiven, because the staff were friendly, and my waitress was happy to help with my questions about the menu. Try the Belgian waffle, it's AMAZING.
Ordered on skip, breakfast poutine and breakfast sandwich.
I give it a solid 9/10 the food was great
Awesome busy, small restaurant with great food and great service. Staff say it is crazy busy in winter months and less busy in summer but we thought a place with a line up on a summer day was busy!
Excellent food, wonderful staff. I’ve eaten here many times (+8). Everything I’ve ordered was great. Cheeseburger pouting and Ruben are my favourites.
I’ll be back many more times.
