A decades-old Winnipeg eatery that serves Middle Eastern cuisine, which changed owners, has been shuttered by provincial health inspectors after an inspection.
Falafel Place, at 1101 Corydon Ave., was ordered closed on Dec. 5 after inspectors found several health violations.
They include failure to register for a food-handling permit before opening, having dirty food-preparation surfaces, not making sure the dishwasher was able to sanitize all the utensils and tableware and not using approved sinks for manual washing and sanitizing of dishes.
A provincial spokesperson said health permits are not transferable when a restaurant changes hands.
“The current operator was not registered,” the spokesperson said on Friday.
“The three-compartment sink was in disrepair and could not be used for dishwashing as an alternative to the mechanical dishwasher that was not able to sanitize.”
A sign taped on the restaurant’s door by the health department states the restaurant was ordered closed for non-compliance with public health regulations.
No one at the restaurant could be reached for comment by phone or Facebook.
Falafel Place was not the only restaurant and food establishment closed in recent weeks by inspectors.
Across the province, 14 had been ordered closed since the Free Press last wrote about restaurants and food establishments shuttered in the weeks before mid-September.
The latest include, in Winnipeg: Chef Dong’s Aristocrat, at D-210 Tyndall Ave., which closed on Dec. 11 and is still closed; the Makkar Supermarket at 10-996 Keewatin St., which closed Nov. 20 and has not reopened; Pandora Inn/Joe’s Garage at 103 Bond St., for one day on Nov. 4; the A&W restaurant at F9-1225 St. Mary’s Rd., for three days starting Oct. 17; and Burrito Splendido at 1015 King Edward St., for four days starting Oct. 6.
Outside Winnipeg, the Melita Inn Motor Hotel’s beverage room was closed for eight days in October.
