Reviews of Denninger's Foods of the World - Oakville (Fish Shop)

Richard Eldridge

Hot table here is my go to breakfast place

Nadine Suliman

Smaller than other Denninger’s but still has all the staples they offer. The downtown location is very convenient as it offers a large variety of European food products from chocolates to cookies to cheeses and cold cuts. They also sell ready made foods, meat products, a full deli section and hot meals. On my way out I also noticed a gifts section with gift baskets and different hand curated items. The cheese selection is always impressive as well as the confectionery items on display. There is also a lot of parking and staff are as friendly as other locations I visited and eager to help. You can sample a lot of the deli products depending on what their specials are.

Glenn Martin

Great selection

Vicki Gruber

Good selection of food

David Cook

Very clear.

Janice O'Connor

Love, love, love. ???? My very favorite place to go in Burlington, Oakville and Hamilton (when I'm in town). The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. The food that you can buy to dine in or take out is SO GOOD. Then you can buy it cold or frozen to make st home later. The burgers with their gravy is a great meal to make at home. You won't be disappointed. ????????

Recently purchased Denninger's Prime Rib Burger Patties. They were not cheap and just disgusting because they are pure fat, I've never had burgers flame up like that and you have to squeeze the fat out of them and keep moving them on the grill so they don't burn, if you don't squeeze the fat out you are left with a burger that oozes fat into your mouth with every bite. I normally don't buy burger patties and since I needed something quick I trusted Denninger's to have a decent product, WOW was I EVER wrong!

M Sal

Great lunch stay there ir take away. Great service. Clean a d good things ALWAYS!

Ty G

Love this little store! Went in this morning to pick up a dozen hot cross buns and a few other treats for the Easter weekend. Staff are always pleasant and attentive. Convenient parking lot and nestled in beautiful Bronte.

Ed Lam

Good meats and cooked food. Like the crescents too. Nice selection of fine chocolate. Excellent sausage in a bun.

Stuart Marsh

Great grocery selection. Lots of different European items. Nice cheese selection and butcher counter. They've also got a hot sandwich bar.

Robert C. Shannon

We always stock up before we head out on the Tug Orkney Isle into Lake Ontario for a scuba dive. Your Oakville Divers Team

Rula B. Morcos

This place has been around for a long time and has a good selection of European food.

Chris B

Small, a but expensive, but some gems throughout

David Ornelas

Best shop in town

Donna Shen

I don't live in the area but my audiologist is across the street. After my appointment it's treat time in Dennnger's. Great cold meats and beef sausage. Home made soups frozen are available. Lots of cookies and jams.

Lejla Krdzalic

Grocery store with German cuisine. Little bit pricey. I usually buy Burda magazine there.

Erica Della

Great International selection. Tasty too!

Arthur Labbancz

Clean store, well stocked, wonderful staff - highly recommend. Please open one in Toronto.

Russell Buchelt

Great place. Has everything the grocery store doesn't.

Denise Phillips

Love the variety of European products. Their meat counter is excellent ...the beef filets are consistently high quality. I have found cheese prices frequently better than the big chains!

Alexander Borghesan

Excellent Meat, Jelly, and other Euro food selections.

Bozena nikolski

This location in Oakville is the smallest one. It offers many different products from Germany and freshly made at a store. Bread , famous delicious sausages, pastry, cosmetics and really good quality laundry detergents. At the back of the store you can find a lot of parking spaces. 100% recommend ????

Peter Arth

Always a good place to pick up German foods and groceries.

B Horton

I celebrated my nomination yesterday in this excellent restaurant. happy to tell that we enjoyed a terrific evening and the venue was evidently the reason for that strong event. The waiters cooperated in a lovely way, the cooking was great and my friends were very glad. We shall surely come back again for more events. Thank you very much.

Matt Cunning

Love the food here

River Run

Service was great food selection is wonderful, very clean too. I will definitely go back!

Daniel Fehrmann

This is one of my favorite places to go in the area. The prices are generally higher but I think you also get very good quality consistently. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. I feel they really do go beyond to make you feel welcome. They have a grocery section as well as a place to get hot food and serve coffee as well.

Michelle

Athena was amazing! Very helpful, knowledgeable and great personality. Full of passion!

Stuart Nicholl

Very helpful staff. Cash out was extremely slow but just my timing I guess as only one cashier and an elderly lady was asking questions about every item she bought so it appeared. Ordered a chicken on a bun at their lunch bar but all out as I was there after lunch and next alternative was pork on a bun. Tasty but a little dried out. Great international selection of foods.

Tom Skublics

Really great meats and sausages and cheeses and just general European "goodies" Very friendly staff and manager. I wouldn't buy things here that you can find at a "regular" grocery store ( like Loblaws ) unless you are desperate, or don't feel like going to another store, because the prices are significantly higher.

Dave Belluz

Pretty good for its small size. They have a hot table and grill. Their hours are not very good as they close early

Tom Dobosz

The food here is absolutely delicious. Whoever you are you will wish you were German leaving this place

Mich

Great food to go and great variety of cheese salami and other imported products!

Yesh _

trash

Sigal Matasaro

The quality of the meat and cheese Ok not more.

Ankit Sharma

Stopped by at the store today. When we came out our car was towed by Phil's towing. Had to pay $367 to get the car. Not coming to bronte again. Not the stores fault but they should talk to managment as they are losing business because of unethical practices by towing company.

Jennifer Gould

Excellent shopping experience and a great snack bar take-out or eat-in selection, yummy! Good quality imported and domestic food choices, items you likely won't find anywhere else. Courteous, friendly staff.

Blake

I really like the Staff here. Wish the parking issues were sorted however.

Drew Karges

Denninger's used to be one of my favorite stores until I heard all of the stories about the rip off towing company Phil's that prowls the lot looking for unsuspecting visitors to the area. I was told that there is a security guard at Denninger's that tips them off. Bronte was such a friendly store over the last 20 years. Such a shame that it has come to this. Stay away!

Oleksandra Lebed

Lovely European store in the heart of Bronte village.

shaine sh

Nice place

dmcd007

I like some of their foods. It's in a great neighbourhood. They did though follow me around, as if I was stealing. The nerve ????

Katherine Wood

Amazing experience Friendly staff, samples to try before you buy. Will definitely be back often

Larry M

Very nice place great food

Hella Comat

Parking is a nightmare! I just got towed and had to pay $400! The signs are completely misleading as they read "must remain on premises". I had no idea that the restaurant on the west side of the lot where I was going wasn't one of the "premises". Why aren't they specifically listed? Shameless money grab on the part of the property management and businesses. I would have moved my vehicle if I had been told - instead security watched me and called a tow truck. So unethical!

Shahram Fahimi

I try chicken schnitzel and cordon blu sandwich here every month. German deli and food in oakville.

Lana K

Everything is so fresh and neatly displayed.

Roccozio “RestaurantRater”

Friendly staff, several unique products but worth the price premium.

MTC

Not so friendly staff. No hello, no thank you. Not the first time. I won't be going there again at this location.

ninja cat

love their food and freshness . Quality is outstanding

Sean Sander

German and European foods. Small but good selection.

Amanda M

Such a nice small store. The hot counter is always great and staff are friendly

Gladys McLellan

Always good choices of things. Good meats, canned foods, Terrific choice of breads and cakes. Highly recommend.

Mona Egan

I recently moved to Bronte, after having lived in North Oakville for the past several years. I was so excited to be by the water and enjoy the small town atmosphere that I always found Bronte to have in spades. That was until my son's car was towed away. I felt terrible. I was the one who told him to park there. Huge mistake! Not only was his car towed, but he was charged $300 for parking in the middle of the day. What a wonderful welcome to Bronte. You've lost a potentially good customer, or should I say customers. Shame on you. Mona Egan

Rich Carter

Great European styled grocery store / Deli

Andy Collins

had a problem with the lunch deli counter but it was promptly dealt with by management - Thank you! we will be back!

D. Bains (Dale Bains)

I love this chain. This location is smaller than the other I have been. Lots of tempting bits from sausages to baked goods. I could spend an hour shopping.

Sherrill Toldy

Love the selection and the helpful staff

kevin sz

So close! Their sausages are delicious. We like some of the German products they have as well. Nice friendly people to assist us and answer our questions.

Andy Munden

Great store. Great food!

Petr Maly

Denninger's is a great store by itself but unfortunately the parking lot behind the store is infested with scam towing scheme and your car will be towed if you don't watch it closely, regardless if you shop here or not. Ransom close to $400 demanded to get your car back from shady business called Phil's towing with no office and no customer service. Check some older reviews to verify. Denningers has better stores outside of Oakville that are safe.

Pierre Michaud

Was there today. This guidance from Halton is not enforced. Disappointing. "Our priority is to protect the health and safety of our residents, which is why the Halton Municipalities, including Halton Region, Burlington, Halton Hills, Oakville and Milton are strongly encouraging the Halton community to wear a face covering or non-medical mask in all indoor public settings and for businesses to require them. We are issuing this guidance to do what is best for our community and to help stop the spread of COVID-19."

Jana Zamecnik

It has food I was looking for, but store is small with limited parking and no bike rack.

Agostino Finucci

I like the fact that they stock lumpfish caviar, compared to Whole Foods who mislabel their salmon roe as caviar.

Flavi M

This location (Bronte) is a small store of the chain. Good selection of foods even for being such a small store. Staff really friendly at this location.

Dieter Herdes

Schnitzel excellent!!

Carole La Tour

Clerk did not know item I was looking for but was friendly enough.

Alfred schembri

Lots of products that you do not find elsewhere. A lot of european packaged goods

Suneel Sharma

Nice staff. Selection lacks variety but what they do have is quality.

Steve Robichaud

property manager will tow your car as soon as you leave the property if you plan on doing any shopping at other businesses.

Sacho Kocevski

Small store, when compared to regular grocery stores. Good food though.

Jillian V

Excellent service, always!

Robert-Anthony Browne

If you want a smaller store, in a more relaxed shopping environment in the centre of Bronte Village, then why not try Denningers....loads of free parking at the rear of the small strip plaza where the store is situated (enter by side street) in the centre of the Village. Enjoy the relaxed environment, free from a mall (enclosed) atmosphere. Friendly staff. The store also has its own cafeteria style restaurant, which faces Lakeshore.

Andrew Nisbet

Pricey but lots of specialty items. Amazing selection of prepared foods. Big selection of honey.

Steve Ringler

Great food selections and awesome meat counter, fresh deli meats and European treats

Tony Ferrari

Great hot table, friendly staff , good service and clean.

Cathy Matsos

SHAME ON YOU DENNINGERS FOR HIRING PHILS TOWING TO TOW CARS FROM YOUR LOT AFTER HOURS WHEN THE PARKING LOT IS COMPLETELY EMPTY FOR $400!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! THANKS FOR RUINING MY KIDS CHRISTMAS!!!!!???????????????????? I WILL NEVER SHOP AT YOUR STORE!!!!!!!!

Tony Brydon

Dont come here if you are in a hurry. You will leave with way more than you intended and spend 3 times longer than you thought - only because every shelf is a treat ! Nowhere else like it. Enjoy

Mladen Vujic

Nice selection of European and prepared foods

Alison Miller

True delicatessen with so many choices. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Cory Borsellino

Super helpful and friendly staff

Ivy Jenkins

Some interesting foods, fresh bread, cheese and meat. the deli is great and they also have some amazing hot food. The pork schnitzel is my favorite. A nice selection of European treats, chocolates, jams, etc... Clean store and usually some free samples sprinkled about.

Kevin Harbour

Very bad service at cash from Nagham. Excellent grocery products , nice well organized shelves. Good deli.

Gee Bee

European deli

郭Anne

One of my favourite grocery market for meat，sausages and pates.

Ron Hiss

Great store, clean- and friendly staff..... I would give it 5 stars, but since it's a smaller store, the selection is somewhat limited compared to some of the other locations.

Gerald Donaldson

Great selection of international foods. Nice pastries. Good place to have a coffee or lunch.

George Hall

Always excellent quality in the variety of purchase options and the Deli hot table is consistently superb for dining while shopping.

Shawky A

European specialty supermarket

Sepul2rA PB

One word. Pemale bacon bun.

Keelan Giesinger

Their takeout food is bland. I've eaten here a few times. I'll eat here again though. It's okay. I know one guy who loves their food. Maybe there is something wrong with me....

Michelle Hermann

I was in the store today to pick up some Easter stuff and it was crazy busy that time. Long lines at the deli and also at the cash. The lady's name at the cash was Erika and I just got the fastest service ever in this store. She handled that long line alone, also she bagged everything and in the meantime she also had a smile on her face and a few nice words for everyone. Thank you very much for that excellent service. She just made my day. At the deli I also got an excellent service from Kim. Thank you Denninger Oakville.

Adam Blacklock

This is by far the worst Denninger's, the hot food quality is very low and selection is abysmal. The hot counter won't let you pay there so you have to stand in the regular cash line. Cooks were eating with their hands right behind the line as soon as we were finished getting our food. Breads and pastries are very low quality and different from the rest of the Denninger's locations. Will not go back to this location but will be a patron for life at the others

j j

Always well stocked. Friendly helpful staff

Ana Hamid

Beautiful store with assorted selection, similar to a WholeFoods but different variety. I had 2 lunches and deemed them overpriced ($40) for what they were; fish & chips was nice but chicken schnitzel was disappointing. I know there’s different varieties of schnitzel but this was just an un-tenderized chicken breast (thick) with what tasted like cheap chicken soup seasoning. Came with 2 sides which were cold scalloped potatoes and mixed vegetables that were assorted but I guess the mixed part was raw & overcooked. For the quality and look displayed from the outside of the store to the inside look, I think they should pay closer attention to their meals, as this is what also attracts some of their customers. Some of their in-house products (cookies, tarts) didn’t look the greatest and still overpriced - maybe they are exceptionally tasting but I didn’t take the risk after the lunches. Perhaps should consider selling them at lower price so people are enticed to try. Also got an Americano which was more expensive than a regular Starbucks one (close to $5) and it tasted like a watered down instant coffee. Disappointed again so I’m not going back. Products can be found at other European Deli not overcharging or if at same price, not overcharging for much better coffee and in-house meals.

Sheila Jenny

I love this place!!

patricia reid

Excellent food and great service

Paul T

Good food

anne duff

Great variety and great food you don't find at normal grocery stores.

Dan Wolf

Great selection of processed meats, cheese and European food. Great lunch and dinner menu selection

dee Loomis

This location is the worst in the chain. The clerks constantly apologize and will tell you, "You should go to Burlington for this or that." Have no clue why you can't see fit to build a large size store in Oakville, which now has a larger population than Burlington, is not a poor community and which also has very little in the way of shopping facilities. Southwest Oakville is a particular shopping desert. Not even a single bakery outside of grocery stores for 40K people. I just don't understand you not seeing the opportunity. Monastery Bakery, which isn't very good, is jam packed, because nothing else is available.

Kristina Kriston

Excellent, place love the European selection. Brings me back to my childhood memories!

James Kruk

Arrived on Saturday only to find out that the hot dishes shut down at 2pm Bummer

Dave Tooth

Good food gets really busy at lunch time

Katrina Whisken

Amazing deli. Food was 10 out of ten.

Heidi Mitchell

The place to go for anything german

Karen Rosbrook

We happened to park in the parking lot at Dennigers on Saturday right at closing time in Bronte and decided to take a leisurely stroll down to the water. When we returned, we were shocked to find that our car had been towed! The parking lot was almost completely empty and it took us a few minutes to figure out what happened. There was one sign near the entrance that we obviously hadn’t noticed that read “customer parking only. All others will be ticketed or towed” When we called the number it was Phil’s towing and they gave us the address and said that Dennigers called them to tow us! $367.00 later! Thank you for your small town hospitality Dennigers. You will never have our business. I understand if it was a busy time of day and we left our car for hours, but this was closing time and was obviously done just to be mean.

John Galea

Consistently the best filet around. Great quality meats. Great staff. You can't go wrong with Denningers.

David Roberts

This is a nice store to stop by for European foods, and they have a nice hot counter for a quick lunch.

peter gs

Decent

Gary Johnson

Great food!!!

Alex

Great deli selection.

Erich B

Wonderful variety of cheeses, deli meats, sausages, baked goods and unique prepared meals. Amazing place to visit for Christmas seasonal treats that can't be missed.

Ulla Cabral

Great food

Justmeles McVean

I miss the roominess of the old store!

ALAN PARSONS

A shell of a store compared to the Burlington store..poor meat selection ..but staff were friendly and courteous

Jason Levey

Great food

blanca sacripante

Amazing german sauciges also find German foods. Have a sandwich( saucige or other with sour crout) when there they are awesome!

M. Simple

Do not visit any of the stores that share this plaza!! We just came back from going out for dinner at The Firehall in Oakville. There wasn't enough parking there, so we parked across the street at Centriller Square. The signs for "no parking" are not very visible, therefore we did not see them....We had our car towed!!!! This is ridiculous as I will not be going back to any establishment in that plaza again, not will I spend my money anymore in Bronte (I will post this to my Facebook friends as well) $365 to get my car out. Someone is watching to see which cars park in this parking lot and is receiving a "kickback" for sure. I think the owner of the plaza & phil's towing are in it together. This is extortion!. There is no other way for them to know who is parking and where they are going. They tow 8 people per night (picking and choosing which cars to tow). There is no reason why people cannot park there after 6:00, when there are spots avail. Bronte will not have anymore people spending money in their stores or restaurants if they keep this up!!

Bob Caster

Food tastes great and is plentiful.

Marilyn Papple

All kinds of great European food items. Highly recommended.

Sharon Milbury

Love it

Don Nicholls

Great European Market

John Babarci

Going here since I was a kid with my father. I'm 58 now. Still top notch service and quality. Staff is helpful and courteous.

Marie Miller

Awesome ! Food and serve great.

Albert Mcallister

Good food

Christopher Cox

More European delights than you can imagein. Also best place in the area for a homemade sandwich.

Morris Sreblowski

Poor bistro experience. Food was blah.

ray jasavala

European products in Canada

Richards Upholstery

Always great quality and service. If you like European foods, this is the place. Only place in Ontario that I have found Danish Esrom cheese

Queen Kiera

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS Horrible, horrible ladies who run this place. I believe their names are Kathy and Lisa. I know multiple teenage staff who have worked here and they all said the same thing about the two ladies being unimaginably rude to not only them but to customers as well. I saw a teenage employee being belittled by Kathy for making a simple mistake, clearly upsetting the worker - followed by Kathy realizing I was watching and then acting like nothing happened. I've also seen her act hostile to harmless customers Please do not support this business. You are directly giving money to these two terrible ladies. They truly deserve the worst.

Henry Grudzien

Amazing and didnt get towed away

maria bituin

I love the assortment of products they have from local to imported. And of course I love the sausages

Bob McDougall

Food's generally good, especially at cafeteria. Store items quite Euro style but both areas are EXPENSIVE. Meats etc made in their own plant (only Provincial inspection, so they can "get away" with a lot.) Ingredient / nutrition labels often in error or missing. Few / no knowledgeable staff - just sales people. Overall, ok, but not up to the hype. Very impressed with themselves.

GABRIELA DUMI

I bought apple pie No Sugar Added .At home I observed was made with ASPARTAME this cancerigen and worse sweetener.Whay?The taste was changed my husband observed.I was happy to find something healthy.was looking good.IWas my favorite store.I am not happy in this moment.
