Winnipeg foodies are about to experience the best of both worlds. Applebee's Canada and IHOP Canada are coming together to open the country's first-ever dual-brand restaurant, right on Regent Ave.

The grand opening is coming soon, and it's shaping up to be a pretty big deal. The first 200 guests through the door will score a free Short Stack of IHOP's World-Famous pancakes, making it worth an early start to your day.

Located at 1598 Regent Avenue, this new mashup of Applebee's and IHOP is the first of its kind in Canada, and who can really argue with satisfying both your breakfast cravings and classic comfort food fix in the same spot?

It makes sense that Winnipeg was chosen for the debut. After all, the city is known for its diverse food scene and is even home to the very first Applebee's in the country.

The menu will feature a little bit of everything, including IHOP's pancakes, omelettes and breakfast platters served all day. Plus, Applebee's classics like burgers, wings and sizzling skillets.

If you're looking for a new place to catch up with friends over brunch, have a weeknight family dinner or grab a late-night bite, you won't want to miss out.

Between the free pancakes, dual menu and the novelty of being the only place in Canada you can experience it, this new Applebee's and IHOP location is set to become a go-to gathering spot.
