The Original Pancake House:
A Winnipeg Landmark
for over Half a Century
In 1958, Wally Guberman, a Winnipeg entrepreneur, opened The Original Pancake House on Pembina Highway. The restaurant rapidly became a popular favourite for family outings, business lunch meetings, student gatherings, and special occasions. Over the years, Wally and his brother Monty opened other Pancake Houses around the city, and 50 years later, the Pembina Pancake House is still thriving (arrive early on Sundays to avoid the lines). This spot and two other locations - at the Clarion Hotel across from Polo Park, and at the Forks Market - attract people of all ages. They have also become "must visit" stops for tourists and transplanted Winnipeggers returning for a visit. |

Your satisfaction is important to us- as you notice when you sit down and are offered a cup of our specially-blended coffee. If you would like a refill, just ask. Offering the finest cup of coffee is a part of our heritage. We serve our meals in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere which keeps satisfied customers coming back. Families bring their children to experience the same casual ambience, and great food that they remember when they visited The Pancake House as children, and which they continue to enjoy as adults.
Over a half century, we have expanded our menu to cater to all tastes. In addition to over 40 varieties of pancakes, crêpes, waffles and
French toast, we serve specially-chosen bacon, ham, and sausages, many varieties of fluffy omelettes, fresh sandwiches and salads, nourishing soups, burgers, chicken, steak and fish. Our apple pancake has become a Winnipeg staple, and our bacon and eggs, any style, are second to none.
But we have never deviated from the source of our reputation and what has made us a household word in Winnipeg: our light, delicious and perfectly-prepared pancakes. Our famous oven-baked giant apple pancake topped with cinnamon-sugar glaze is reason alone to pay us a visit. The air-filled German pancake with icing sugar and lemon comes a close second.
We hope you will become a Pancake House "regular" and will enjoy many satisfying meals at our restaurants with friends, associates and family. |
