My favorite greasy spoon. The food is affordable and portions are large. My only complaint id service can be slow.

Food wasn't bad, service was and the head banging rock music drove me nuts. When I asked for the radio station to be changed, our server stated she wanted it turned up but the radio was located too high for her to reach.

I love Tania's! It's a hidden gem of breakfast food in Nanaimo. Awesome food, awesome prices, awesome service and it's really quick! I love coming here for anything from a hangover cure to brunch with friends.

Tania's Restaurant is a delightfully cozy breakfast and lunch only spot in Nanaimo and may just have taken my number one spot as my top restaurant in town. They close at 3:00 pm (2 pm Sunday), but offer breakfast till then. The parking lot is usually pretty crowded, with most of the people going here. We've been here three or four times and have noticed many others doing the same. That's usually a really good sign and it certainly is for Tania's. First and foremost, their people. Everyone working here is warm, friendly and truly come across as wanting to be there... if you have ever worked in a busy restaurant, you know how rare that is and what a profound effect that will have with regard to the ambience and warmth of a place. Next, their menu. The selection is near perfect. It covers a wide assortment, but doesn't involve reading a novel like menu (like my reviews). Their food. Breakfast at Tania's is hands down, one of the best breakfast places I've enjoyed. Ottawa and Gatineau, where I grew up had some mighty fine breakfast places. Well they could take some pointers from Tania's. Real potato hash browns, homemade breads including sourdough and rye, incredible bacon, tea served in large porcelain tea sets, fresh coffee constantly being refilled, and simply the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had, and I've had plenty. Their Hollandaise sauce is made fresh and is scrumptious, with a hint of lemony tang... Hollandaise perfection. After having it once, I often order extra Hollandaise on the side. Yes, I know how rich it is... It's an occasional guilty pleasure. If you can manage to not order breakfast, their lunch menu is equally impressive in variety and quality. I tried a cheeseburger with fries just before Christmas and was incredibly satisfied with the wonderfully beefy flavor and mozzarella cheese for a change and their fries are downright perfect. Their sourdough melts look amazing and I must try one. Lunch is served from 11:30 am until closing. Update: We finally tried the sourdough melts and homemade soups. Both were heavenly. The last point I wish to make regards their chefs. I particularly love dining places where the chef prepares meals with love, care, and panache. I don't care if it is an upscale place or a cozy diner. If a chef prepares meals with pride and love, it clearly shows. Every meal I've had or seen at Tania's looked like the glossy photo on the menu. That next to never happens! The quality, care and flavours are superb. The portions are very generous. The people are warm and outstanding. Ignore the negative reviews. This place is top shelf.
