So nice to find what feels like a small town restaurant right downtown. The food was good. The service was good. The prices are fantastic!!!!!! We definitely will be back when visiting downtown.

Tasty diner style experience! Veggie burger is different (cottage cheese based patty) and good!

The food was disappointing. The Don strikes me as one of the breakfast spots to visit downtown, but they can’t seem to poach an egg properly. Instead of a traditional poach, they use metal steamers, leaving the eggs watery and bleeding into the hash browns. This place has so much potential—it could easily be bustling on a Friday at 9 AM—but instead it was nearly empty while I sat with a lackluster breakfast. The only saving grace was the fresh fruit on the side, which, at least, wasn’t wilted.

Had breakfast at The Don Restaurant in downtown Winnipeg and it was exactly what I needed. Super cozy spot and felt really welcoming the second I walked in. The food was classic and comforting, a good home-style breakfast. My server was super attentive, and even the chef came out to check in. Just a really solid, feel-good place!

I had heard good things about the restaurant but sadly I was disappointed. Possibly they were having a rough day or their regular cook wasn't working when I went: the food was just okay. I was happy to see shredded potatoes on the menu as part of the breakfast combos but some of mine arrived burnt. I tried to order eggs poached medium as part of a benedict but they only seemed to offer VERY soft or completely hard and nothing in between- I left half of it. No one came to check on the meal after it was served, coffee refills were not offered. I had to go searching for the server to pay the bill even when there was only one other table in the restaurant. Service was not rude but it was certainly inattentive. I might try it again, possibly for lunch instead, and will try to order something where others have written positive reviews about their orders. Overall, really disappointed by both the food and the service.

I’ve found my new “cheat day” breakfast place when I’m visiting Winnipeg. I get the Day Breaker. The potatoes are cooked perfectly. Eggs are cooked soft, medium or hard according to your preference. Bacon is thin-sliced crispy but not over-cooked. Sausages and ham are similarly cooked to perfection. The fruit bowl is fresh. I’ve had the dine-in, the take out and delivery (Door Dash). Cannot recommend enough. I

Had hot roast beef served on an open grilled piece of bread, with an order of potatoes & gravy. Great taste and a good proportion meal.

Came for the varenyky and farmer sausage, was not disappointed. I believe both were made by families in the Winkler/Altona area. Soup of the day was cabbage borscht, which was wonderful. Simple, quick, reminded me of home.
Nice little spot, they only seem to play Coldplay music, which is ….interesting :P

The Don Restaurant is a total hidden gem in Winnipeg. This place has a super chill vibe, perfect for grabbing a tasty breakfast or lunch. Their perogies are the bomb, but honestly, everything I've tried there is delicious. Pancakes, omelettes, sandwiches - they've got it all!
