The Nook Diner

Ah, there is nothing more enjoyable than sitting down in a local 'greasy spoon' diner to enjoy a freshly made breakfast. If you prefer the corporate style, don't eat here. But, if you enjoy being in the community and eating food that is served hot and fresh, then be prepared to wait to be seated... because this is one place to go! There is literally nothing fancy about this location. The decor is old and dated. None of that matters though, because the food and friendly service are the attraction. My guest and I were fortunate to be seated immediately. Hot coffee soon followed. I ordered the steak and eggs, while my guest opted for a bagel sandwich... which came with a pickle, but that was eaten before I could grab a picture! Everything arrived hot and tasty. The only negative feedback came from my guest, who noted that the sandwich lacked mayo or another topping. For those who enjoy coffee: you won't be disappointed. It was hot, fresh, and had the flavour notes of a very good breakfast blend.

Great service and most of the food was really good, but the eggs were undercooked. You could tell even before cutting in that they were practically liquid. Cinnamon bun was to die for though, and overall quality was good. Coffee was just ok. Edit: Later visit. Eggs still underdone. Will ask for extra well done next time. Mean overall was really good, and looked so tasty I forgot to take a picture until I was halfway through.

The Nook meets all the criteria of an excellent restaurant. Food is great, coffee is good, service is great. What more can you ask. They have an interesting setup. Their kitchen is the same room you dine in. Gives the assurance that they're following health guidelines, but it comes with the associated noise of a kitchen. Overall one of the best breakfasts I've had in Winnipeg.
