The Village Diner – October 1, 2017

On the last day of our Winnipeg trip, we headed to the Village Diner with Luke’s sister and brother in law. This place used to be located in the Osbourne Village Inn, but relocated to it’s current location on Sargent. (**I just googled this place, and apparently it has now closed permanently, which is really too bad!). The location was a bit sketchy, I’m pretty sure I saw a pimp ride by on his bicycle while we ate, but the quality of the food (and the price) more than made up for that.

Luke and I decided to each order something, and share a Turkey Poutine – white and dark turkey meat, mozzarella, turkey gravy, cranberry dijonnaise, $9.50. I’m not a huge cranberry fan, so I asked for that on the side. This was a very large portion, and a really fantastic poutine! The fries were great, the gravy had lots of flavour and they were not cheap with the turkey or the cheese.

I decided to go for the Club Mansion – hot white and dark turkey, cheddar cheese, leaf lettuce, tomato, braised pork belly and cranberry dijonnaise on multigrain $9. I again asked for the cranberry on the side, and asked for no tomato. This was a huge sandwich, I wasn’t expecting three pieces of bread (which is silly – it’s called a club, which traditionally always has three pieces). It was good, but I would have just been happy eating that poutine.

Luke ordered the Elvis – grilled peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich with hashbrowns and fruit $8.50. Luke loved this – I’m not a big peanut butter fan so I didn’t try it, but I did steal some of those awesome hash browns haha.

I really hope Google is incorrect and that this place is still open, or that it finds a new place to open – the food was great and the price is so reasonable for the amount of food you receive!
