What User doesn't like about Capital Diner:
I found this as I was looking for somewhere reasonable and close to where I was staying - this was ok, nothing bad but nothing spectacular, the place is a bit run down and it looks like it might have been converted from an Indian restaurant in a previous life without a lot of effort being put in to give it a genuine diner feel. Food was fine - standard diner fare. Nothing wrong but wouldn't make an effort to seek it... View all feedback. What User likes about Capital Diner:
There are four stairs up to this restaurant. We were seated in a booth with a view of the alley beside the building, but that was okay because we were more interested in breakfast. The coffee was good and refilled often. We both had the early bird breakfast. For $6.99 each, we had two eggs, meat of our choice (I had ham, he had sausages), and hash browns (they were delicious). Peanut butter and jam are on the table.... View all feedback.

The Capital Diner in Ottawa offers a cozy and comfortable dining experience with a varied menu that includes delicious breakfast options. The generous portions, friendly service, and reasonable prices make it a great choice for a filling meal. While the decor may be simple and the cleanliness could use some improvement, the food quality and portion sizes make up for it. The smoked meat mash and cheeseburger are highly recommended dishes, giving visitors a taste of classic diner fare done right. Overall, the Capital Diner offers a pleasant and satisfying dining experience that is worth a visit.

Fast wonderful service, excellent food, good coffee

Just love this spot for breakfast. Not sure how they stay afloat with the breakfast special prices. Super nice staff and very prompt service. Love it.

Despite many large group reservations this morning, the staff was helpful, attentive and professional. You really can't go wrong. We paid $6.99 for a 2 egg brea...
