Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Winnipeg

First time visit. Have been excited about coming, for a long time. We had a reservation. The ambiance was nice, the restaurant was busy. I loved the serving ware. The pottery drinking mugs were my favourite. The service was very good. Parking was easy. The bathrooms are not labeled. I incorrectly assumed they were gender neutral, and (as a male) thought it was great to have early accessible feminine hygiene products…. but I later found out the bathroom on the left was men’s (urinals!) and I had incorrectly gone into the women’s. Oops. My visit started poorly, but ended in an almost great way. I ordered a El Niño, which is zero proof. It was also zero taste. Pretty much a flavoured water on ice. Raw Venison and Grilled Strawberries. This was a miss. The venison itself was quite good, but the presentation was not appetizing. The fiddleheads were crunchy but boring. Everything had an overpowering smoked flavour. Albacore Tuna. Melt in your mouth. This was really nice. Manitoba Green Back Pickerel. I’m not sure why I picked two seafood dishes. The pickerel had a similar melt in your mouth quality as the tuna, which was surprising. Unfortunately the dish lacked depth and was boring after 1-2 bites. My spouse had the chicken - it was fantastic. Peanut butter Icecream Sandwich. So close… The icecream was amazing. The salted candied nuts were so good. But the sandwich itself was a tasteless breading that could have been so much more. A simple crunchy cookie? Overall mediocre. For the price, I won’t be back. In my opinion, there are better options for great food in Winnipeg.

The 4-course menu was decent, but I probably won’t come back given the steep price. Salmon, albacore tuna and steelhead trout were the highlights. Other dishes were just OK. Another highlight was the pottery plates and utensil holder. We were so intrigued that we looked up the artist online.

1/5 Stars – Disappointing for a Fine Dining Experience I visited Deer & Almond expecting a memorable fine dining experience, but it fell short in several ways. Upon arrival, the hostess, Jenna, made us feel profiled by directing us to a far-end table. Worthy to mention that most tables remained empty throughout.She could have given us a better option , then her immediate mention of the $90 four-course set menu felt pushy and unwelcoming, which set a poor tone. The decor was decent but underwhelming for a fine dining venue—nothing particularly elegant or noteworthy. The seating was a major issue: the wooden chairs and benches were uncomfortable for a 2.5-hour meal, which detracted significantly from the experience. The menu itself was limited, making it difficult to select appealing dishes for each course. Thankfully, the food was a highlight—well-prepared and flavorful—and the cocktails were equally enjoyable, which saved the evening to some extent. However, our table faced the washroom, and every time someone exited, the door was left open, giving us an unpleasant view of the toilet. This was a major oversight for a restaurant aiming for sophistication. While Jenna’s attitude remained off-putting, her colleague provided excellent service, explaining each course thoroughly and professionally, which we appreciated. Overall, Deer & Almond needs significant improvements in ambiance, seating comfort, and staff approach to justify its fine dining claim. Wouldn’t recommend unless these issues are addressed.

1 of the best meals I've ever had, I wish I was staying longer in Winnipeg so I could go again. We did the 4 course dinner service, it was perfect. I think the beef tartare was the best bite of food I've ever had.

Our first time at this establishment. Our server Andrea was friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty, good portions, very satisfied after a lovely meal. I could probably eat 10 of those chorizo & queso quesadillas, so unbelievably delicious.

Mandel Hitzer and his team are brilliant. Yes, it's not the cheapest place to eat at, but I am quite tired of paying a hundred dollar for a forgettable meal. This is everything but forgettable. Every piece of the tasting menu was delicate, and intricate and perfect. Mandel delivered each meal with heartfelt explanations. He told me that it's not only about creating a perfect meal, it's about making it consistently. Nailed it. Bravo.

Delicious gourmet tasting menu tucked away in downtown Winnipeg, easily one of the best meals in the city and a top canadian restaurant in its own right. Both plating and cooking was exceptional, with unique fusion flavours omnipresent. Although every course was a delight, the peanut butter icecream sandwich stole my heart... Yum yum

Let's get the important information out first: If you are looking for a basic eggs and bacon or sausage breakfast, skip this location. This location is for the breakfast connoisseur. A place where eggs are served in mouthwatering dishes that aim to awaken your taste buds and leave you wanting more. The portion sizes are spot on, and your yearning for more is so your taste buds can continue to enjoy new flavours. The atmosphere gives one a feeling that they've been transported to a quaint European eatery, with bustling conversations and decor that makes one feel at home. Be aware though, this is a small location in terms of number of seats. In this case, size does not matter, as the food alone is worth not only the wait, but the cozy environment that goes with it. Service was friendly. Coffee was constantly topped up. And, the bill was not out of line for what we ate. This was our first visit and definitely not our last!!

Went here many times when I lived in Winnipeg. It’s cemented itself as one of my, if not my #1, favourite breakfast places. I made sure to integrate a visit here on my road trip from Calgary to southern Ontario. Menu has changed a little bit since I last went a couple years ago so I tried something new (Duck Chilaquiles) and it did not disappoint. Everything on the menu is fantastic, the atmosphere is great, and the service is outstanding. Highly recommend visiting!

Great brunch! Great flavors. We only tried a couple of things but they were great. The flavor combos were nice and the menu was tight. I really like the way they utilized ingredients to create a diverse menu. Great job folks! We had duck chilaquiles, the amazing banana waffle(waffle itself was not warm), chai latte and bourbon drink were fantastic. Service was good. Great vibe overall.

Delicious spot for breakfast or lunch. Surprising Mediterranean twist on breakfast. I had the Turkish eggs which came with yummy fried toast. We ordered a few plates to share. I really loved the pickled cucumbers with crema. So many delicious plates to chose from. I highly recommend to order a few different plates and share. Great place!

Creative spins on traditional dishes. Every bite was delicious. Our waitress was very helpful in narrowing down the choices. My husband loved the speciality drinks. True rating would be 4.5 stars only due to the fact that it took a while for the food to arrive.

Work trip lunch, went there with my colleague. It got busy fast, the restaurant got full before noon on a Thursday. Food was good, service was great, friendly staff. Vibe is modern. One of the better restaurants in Winnipeg

So delicious! We came here for brunch after many recommendations and were not disappointed. There was a little wait, maybe 10 minutes, but the staff were super nice and attentive. The food was incredible, the chicken on toast was amazing and the smoked steelhead trout was so good. The fried potatoes were delicious, and we really had a great time. Would love to go again!

My wife and I came up to visit Winnipeg from the US state of Iowa about a month ago to support our kind Canadian neighbours. Everything about this restaurant was lovely. The service was friendly and thoughtful and the atmosphere was unique, romantic, and quirky. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it. We started with complimentary bread with oil and vinegar. Next, we had the escargot with buttery, toasted bread. After that we ordered the TRÉSOR DE LA MER dinner for two, which included a soup or salad (we got corn chowder) followed by a delicious seafood pasta with lemon, crab, mussels, shrimp, salmon, and fried fish mini fillets. I would strongly recommend making a reservation at this amazing place for a special night out!

We went to La Gare restaurant for a dinner to celebrate our anniversary, and we both were greatly impressed by authentic atmosphere, interior of renovated train car, great service and delicious French cuisine. It's not cheap, for a dinner for two we paid around 160 + tips, but it was well worth it, and we enjoyed every meal we had. Waiting time was moderate, around 20-25 minutes, music was nice and not too loud. Parking is a little tight, it takes some skill to get parked there or leave when parking lot is full, but the restaurant itself is just great)

We recently visited Resto Gare Bistro & Bar for our anniversary, and it was such a wonderful experience!. We ordered the mushroom appetizer, onion soup, soup of the day, pate marine, and chicken with mashed potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious, including their complimentary bread with olive oil dip. The portions were generous, and I was pleasantly full by the end🙂. I loved their warm & cozy atmosphere. Not only that, their service was welcoming and attentive too. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or a cozy dinner out❤️

I had a wonderful dinner at Resto Gare. The French onion soup was simply outstanding, and the lamb dish was cooked to perfection — absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was elegant, the service excellent, and I look forward to returning on a Saturday evening to enjoy their events.

We came here for our anniversary and the atmosphere was very warm and the live piano music was very nice, but there were a couple issues. We were disturbed a couple times, once by a staff member eating at the table across from us with her hood up, eating with her mouth open and smacking her lips so loud it was interrupting our conversation. The second time was when staff were fighting and yelling at each other in the middle of the dining room behind us. Not very professional. We ordered the Brie Fondue appetizer and it was really good. For entrees I had the Bourguignon while my partner ordered the Saumon de Maison. The Bourguignon was cooked perfectly and fell apart with a fork, however the sauce was watery and really didn’t have a lot of flavour. Her salmon was quite delicious though. The duck fat roasted baby potatoes that came on the side had no seasoning and tasted like a plain boiled potato Overall a nice evening but we were a bit disappointed with our meal, especially when paying such high prices

Surprisingly bad, to be honest. We had a reservation for 6:30 and didnt get our entrees until 8:30. When we got there, there seemed to be a large gathering that took up most of the main dining room. We ordered our drinks which took quite a while to get there. Then we ordered our appetizers and entrees. The appetizers came pretty quickly. We ordered the baked brie and the French onion soup. The soup was the highlight of the meal and the baked brie was okay. After we ate our appetizers, it took an hour and a half to get our food. We had bought a bottle of wine for the table and had finished it before the food even got there. Once the food did arrive, it came out sporadically and not all of us got our food at the same time. I got the beef bourguignon and it was terrible. The broth was very watery and the beef was so tough that I didnt even finish it. It was dry and overcooked. Two of my family members had the chateaubriand which they found was okay, but we found the Gates did it better. My husband did like the lamb however. Our waiter was very apologetic about the wait. However, I think the restaurant should have been more diligent when booking such a large group, as it impacts their other guests. Our bill was around $500 and we definitely didnt find it was worth the price. We would not go here again. If you're looking for a nice French restaurant, you're better going to the Peasant Cookery. The food, service and atmosphere was just all in all better.

We ate in the train car. Lovely patio for the summer and another dining room. Dinner was tasty, definitely French influence (I had the beef Bourgogne, shared some escargot and a creme brule for dessert). Staff were kind, friendly and very helpful. It's out of the way but worth finding. I'd definitely go again.

We came here for lunch after visiting the CMHR. It was mid Friday afternoon so we had our choice of any seating. We picked a sunny spot inside the restaurant by the window. Both the foods and services left a fond impression of our second (and great) meal in Winnipeg. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The fries of my moules frites were fried deep golden brown with a perfect and balanced crunch without being overwhelmingly seasoned. I almost couldn’t stop drinking the sauce by the spoonfuls even after all the mussels were gone. My husband ordered a rueben and he was very happy, too. We had a very lovely lunch.

I know many people love this place, but it didn’t impress me. The service was okay, but I didn’t really like the atmosphere, the setting, or the food. The décor doesn’t match, although the building itself is gorgeous — the windows and ceiling are just amazing. However, the table wasn’t properly cleaned, and the dishes and cutlery were quite poor. It’s too expensive for the working class, yet lacks the sophistication to appeal to a more refined crowd.

Great place with great atmosphere. Staff was very helpful and professional…buck a shuck oyster special cannot be beat & oysters are high quality for such a good deal! Person I dined with got the pork chop & said it was amazing and was almost like a bone-in ribeye in presentation. One of the best pork chops I’ve ever seen. Would 100% recommend whether you’re looking for an oyster deal or a nice dinner in Winnipeg.

Came here on a whim while visiting Winnipeg. Everything was very delicious! We had the escargot, elk bourguignon (they were out of the bison), and Moroccan Salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the pickles accompanying it were very tasty. The other dishes were also done very well. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food, and the service was great.

First time here last night with my friends. I love everything about this restaurant. The ambience is amazing. Very classic and relaxing atmosphere perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or even a me time night. Our server was fast and attentive. The food came out at a reasonable time. We really enjoyed the food that we ordered. I had to buy a second round of Old Fashioned, it was very good. I will be coming back.

Very classy place. Our party of 6 (3 couples) very much enjoyed our food and it lived up to its reputation. We've tried to get reservations in past and it was booked up so this time we booked several days in advance for a Friday night. Fringe festival was going on so there was a fun vibe directly outside. We loved the location in the exchange district and the beautiful old building. The menu was not extensive as menus with real food and real chefs generally are not, but there was something for everyone from gluten free to vegan, to carnivore. Everything here is locally and ethically sourced and made from scratch. Our waiter was very jolly and double checked with the kitchen regarding various allergies at the table. The Beef Bourguignon was disappointingly sold out but everything else was available. Note that the menu changes. The reviews were full of pictures of pasta (and pictures of a previous menu with lots of pasta options) but there was no pasta on our menu. That was not disappointing for us but something to note if you are hoping for something specific on the menu you see in the reviews. Refer to the website for the latest menu. Not sure if the menu changes seasonally or daily or what. The menu we enjoyed had loads of meat and fish options. The pork chop and chicken paillard were delightfully tender with tasty sauces. Our group enjoyed many entrées with no complaints. (all pictured). Also the desserts were perfection and a nice size. The carrot cake surprised as being both gluten free and vegan, the expectations were low but it wowed. The lemon pudding was perfectly tart and sweet. I didn't taste any others but there was satisfaction all around. We would all recommend this restaurant. The food was impeccable. The atmosphere was simple but classy, traditional, with just enough historical feel to be cozy and quaint. While I'm sure kids are welcome, I wouldn't recommend bringing kids here as the prices are high. Not sure if there is a kids menu. Parking is typical of downtown. Be prepared to walk if you want street parking, though there is also a parking garage DIRECTLY across the street. Very handy.

I gotta say the staff here put the Wow in Wow Hospitality! We had our wedding celebration here and couldn't be happier! Brian and Meredith were fantastic in coordinating our big day with; communication and planning were easy and they were on top of everything during the event. Staff did an amazing job working the room ensuring that drinks were flowing and that the meals came out quickly. Peasant Cookery's bartender is top notch, if they've got the ingredients he'll be able to make you whatever cocktail your heart desires!

For a long time, I heard everyone talking about VJ’s burgers, so I finally gave it a try. I was surprised by the taste! I tried their special burger and really liked it but the French fries were disappointment. The place isn’t exactly big on hygiene, which might be a turn-off for some, but if you’re there for the flavor, it’s definitely worth a try. They now accept credit cards.

They know their burgers! The service is "lacking" because this is a pick up location with an outdoor dining area. Gotta love their attitude through the window, old school, may be a little bit too rough for some. Burger wise, their special is truly special. A good balance of chili, patty, produce, and sauces. Go all in, you will thank them right away.

We stopped by on our way through Winnipeg taking Via rail. The train was severely delayed but we were able to call an order ahead of time. Someone from staff stayed behind to make sure we got our food which was really really sweet of them! The portion sizes here are huge and generous, we were only able to get down half of our burgers. We had ordered one of the double patty burgers and had not eaten all day but still couldn't finish the whole thing. I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm in town again.

A true gem in Winnipeg’s burger scene! My boyfriend and I had the absolute pleasure of trying VJ’s Double Special—and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a heavenly experience! 🍔✨ The burger was an explosion of flavor in every bite, made with perfectly seasoned homemade patties that melted in our mouths. You can truly taste the love and tradition in each layer—it’s not just a burger, it’s a love letter to comfort food. The aroma alone is enough to draw you in from blocks away. Juicy, meaty, rich, and grilled to perfection—every bite whispered “come back soon.” The service was quick, the vibe nostalgic, and the quality unmatched. In a city full of burger joints, VJ’s Drive Inn stands tall like a legend—a place where cravings are fulfilled, and taste buds sing. We’re already planning our next visit. This is a place that reminds you why burgers became a classic in the first place. ❤️🔥 Highly, highly recommended!

If you’re travelling, like me, and need a great spot. I highly recommend this spot! They’ve got great food, prices, and staff. The food was, well, I’ll let you decide that for yourself…

Best burgers i have ever had in Winnipeg with good portion size and amazing taste since i moved here. This place is a gem honestly. Also the location is nice and close to forks market which is great. Comes here every time when goes to forks. Moreover, nice and hardworking people. Great service every time

Vj's is the best! If you know.. you know. His burgers are a staple. Apart of Winnipegs history 👍

What a great surprise this place was! Enjoyed their breakfast selection! Looking forward to try other food in the menu!

Fabulous for breakfast. Earlier you go the quieter it is. Great for families with young children.

I used to frequent this place when I lived in Winnipeg. Now under new ownership it has lost some its charm, the Latkes have definitely changed and not for the better. The Latkes used to be cooked more and had some crispness to it. This time they felt undercooked and what happened to the original ingredients. The rest of the breakfast was okay. How can anyone really mess up eggs and toast. The service is still excellent as is the ambience. Sadly, I probably won’t visit this place the next time o come to Winnipeg.

Some of the best falafel in the city! Tastes great and is affordable and fast. The only thing is that it can get very loud when it is a packed house and hard on my elderly dad's hearing. But service is attentive and food is beyond yummy. BONUS: the VEGAN options are appreciated!

The food was great here. Everything we ordered was great. The grapefruit and orange juices are freshly squeezed to order. The only reason they are getting 4 stars in atmosphere is it was extremely hot inside. The kitchen is open to the dinning room and the stoves where extremely hot and all the fans in the restaurant for air circulation where turned off. It was like eating in the literal oven. Otherwise a good experience.

We went out for lunch one day, and said, lets go to Falafel place! Its so good! We got there akwardly waited at the entrance blocking other people from getting in, until 5 minutes later we got seated. Almost instantly we placed our orders of 3 soups and 2 Falafel Ball platters. We then proceeded to wait 30 minutes for Falafel balls, which were good, but drenched in so much sauce that you could not even taste the flavor. Then finally after 35 minutes, our SOUP came. Now, usually soup comes first at a restaurant, but who am I to judge? It was mozza ball soup and the mozza balls were raw and tasted like complete garbage. It felt like I just spent 12 dollars on hot water. Will not be coming back.

I haven’t been here in probably close to 20 years. Will not be waiting that long to go again, it’s fantastic!! The food is delicious. Prices are very reasonable with large portions. Our food came out very fast and it was hot and fresh upon arrival. Friendly staff and busy right up to closing. Go early, they close at 2 pm. I can’t wait to go back again. The yam hash mix with the Vegan Heaven Breakfast is to die for!!

The taste of each dish was well done but each plate was around $30, there are plenty of other high quality restaurants that serve very similar food for a MUCH bigger portion and value. I was really looking forward to dining here and the photos looked great but was underwhelmed when the dishes were about the size of two of my fists. They bring each dish out one at a time for family style serving. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable when presenting each dish. This restaurant’s atmosphere is quite nice, food is good, however I spent over $100 and left the restaurant still feeling quite hungry. This was a nice upscale first-time visit however, I think I would rather go somewhere else if I wanted quality pasta for the same price and bigger portion.

Super cool Italian spot! Meals were amazing! 10/10 can’t fault! Would definitely recommend you visit if you have time! Only 2 pieces of feedback- no limoncello or tiramisu on the menu! Little disappointed and should be on all Italian restaurant menus!! but other than that! Amazing!

My wife and I came up to visit Winnipeg from the US state of Iowa about a month ago to support our kind Canadian neighbours. We had our 7th wedding anniversary dinner here. It was a lovely experience overall. We enjoyed a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio with our 5-course dinner. The food was all delicious, the service was thoughtful and professional, and the atmosphere was romantic and pleasant overall. It was a bit louder in here than we would have liked, but we could still hold a nice conversation with little trouble. If you are looking for an elegant night out with great food with that special someone, I would highly recommend you dine here!

Absolutely lovely🤩 super cute decor and a very fun menu. Plates are meant to be shared which was quite enjoyable since you get to try many different items. I highly recommend the carbonara and the lemon cheese cake. Would love to come again to try in winter since it has a very cozy and intimate vibe and the food is quite filling. Great service.

Went there yesterday evening and had such a great time. The atmosphere was amazing, our server was super friendly, and every dish we ordered was just perfect. Loved everything, really good experience overall!

Passero is such a lovely place to eat. Everything I had was top notch, a smooth and balanced cocktail, calamari, fresh carbonara pasta, and an 11/10 arancini. I’ll certainly be back.

Love that they have moved onto Corydon with a great little patio. Made our reservation a couple weeks ago and they readily let you move it to a patio spot on the day of if the weather is nice. Great part about that is the patio is dog friendly so bring your furry friend! Service and food is terrific as always and many dishes can be adjusted for vegetarian and are still just as fantastic.

I want to leave my positive feedback about this place. We came there on a recommendation for a special date, my husband's birthday, and it was 100% the right choice for that day. I like the secrecy of this place, I liked the atmosphere and hospitality right from the doorway. I liked the dishes. We ordered 6 different dishes and they were all excellent in taste and presentation. The waiter said that they change the menu every week. The portions are not big and not small, we were more than full. We did not take drinks, but I watched how the bartender prepared them and they looked very beautiful and appetizing. It was nice that the waitress congratulated my husband on his birthday and put a candle for the dessert, it was super sweet. For 6 dishes + tips we paid $ 180. I am grateful to the staff for making us happy on this day. We will come back.

We went there for dinner and our experience was great! It was pretty hard to find an entry first, but once we got in we liked everything: service was fast and polite, food was just delicious (we had oysters, bison meatballs, pork loin, and then a rhubarb pie and a cheese for dessert). Portions were not too big, but enough to be full. Whole atmosphere was quite romantic and cozy, however, in my opinion, music was a little too loud and fast. Anyways, we enjoyed the visit and would definitely recommend this place.

Very interesting and atmospheric place, delicious food, memorable interior, pleasant staff. Quite pricey, but good. Only one drawback))) the restroom does not match the establishment at all, modernization wouldn’t hurt.

Sous Sol is a little hard to find, but it is definitely a hidden gem. The food is amazing. The ambiance in the restaurant however is a little off putting. As others have stated it is very dark and it takes a while until your eyes adjust to your surroundings. The music is a little on the loud side and a little bizarre. However the food is incredibly delicious. We had the Roast Bone Marrow, Croquettes, the MB Beef Tenderloin the Fried Mushrooms and the bread and butter and everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We left Sous Sol satiated and looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely delicious food and easily my favorite restaurant during my Winnipeg visit. We ordered the Arctic char, potato dauphinoise, and duck. The duck had perfectly crispy skin and was cooked just right. The Arctic char was flavorful and it paired beautifully with the tomatoes which added the just the right amount of acidity. The potatoes were the highlight and it truly was the dauphinoise I have ever had. Would definitely come back the next time I am in town.

The environment is a combination of classy and throwback. Even the utensils are unique. What we ordered for appetizers was bread and butter, bone marrow, the mains were duck and trout, and side gnocchi. I can’t remember the exact name of dishes. The food was flavourful, tasty, and healthy. Everything on the plate complimented one another. Our server was good too and very knowledgeable and when we asked questions they explained very well. Also the non-alcoholic options are unique compared to other restaurants which I appreciate. Sorry we didn’t take any pictures which is very odd for us!

Had a fantastic date night at Sous Sol. Great cocktail menu as well as food. Nice dimly lit atmosphere and friendly staff. Check it out!

One of my favorites in Winnipeg but tonight was a letdown. I do enjoy a great tartare there usually but dropped in tonight for a dessert and espresso and got quite disappointed by both. The chocolate tart was excellent but the piece was ridiculously small for $12 and the espresso was not good at all with zero crema and likely could have get a better one at Tim Horton's sadly. The staff was apologetic about both and service very good as usual...

We had such a great experience at the bar! Kiran was our bartender, and he absolutely impressed us with his skills. Instead of just picking from the menu, we explained the kind of flavors we liked, and he crafted drinks perfectly suited to our tastes. Each one was spot on refreshing, creative, and really well-balanced. His ability to understand what we wanted and turn it into the perfect drink made the evening extra special. Highly recommend his bartending if you want a drink and don’t know what to get explain it to him and he will choose a perfect one for you!

Food was very good well presented The Tea cocktails were unique and very tasty lots to choose from. service was excellent. Will absolutely go again. thank you Devon for being an awesome host

Fantastic service and delicious cocktails. I had the corpse reviver cocktail and the red dawn cocktail and both were spectacular. Hunter was a great server and gave great recommendations.

Great experience at Amsterdam Tea Room! Kiran is a very friendly outgoing bartender that made our visit very inviting and comfortable. I tried the espresso martini and it was very good! Will be returning~

Amsterdam Tea Room is a great vibe, friendly staff, good food, if you don't mind paying at least $15 for a cocktail then this place might be great for you.

A quick stop before the concert. Amsterdam Tea Room & Bar is a hidden gem in the Exchange District!

When you have few places that make cakes solely, you dont get much options, you have to visit, either your family asked you to or your peers. They know they have the right location for a restaurant so why bother on nice behaviour towards customer. Why train your servers to be gentle or "nice" to the customers. They will make money any way. I would not recommend this place for a sit in. Neither will I recommend the sugar filled overhyped cakes. Dig deeper in google, you will surely find other better options in Winnipeg. Enjoy your dessert, its just not the place to enjoy.

First time there and the place was a nice surprise. The cakes were good but not exceptional. Our party ordered 6 different cakes and our experience was 50-50. Three of the cakes were either dry or waaay too much icing. The service was a bit chaotic, we were told to sit and order at the table but took 15 minutes to get our order. The cakes did not come all at once and had to wait a good 5 minutes for the rest of the cakes to arrive. Drinks were good.

In from out of town and had to grab some cheesecake. It was quiet while we visited but there was a grab selection of cakes. We got a piece of cherry and salted caramel cheesecake. They were both good portions and tasted delicious. As with everything prices have gone up but felt that it was a reasonable price at $13 for a slice. We haven't been at the restaurant for a couple of years but there tends to be a large empty space at the front of the restaurant. It looks awkward and not very inviting.

Got the pavlova sliced cake and it was worse dessert ever. Taste -2/10 , got it for my daughter through uber, wasted my $25 for 1 slice. Wont order ever. Sorry not recommend. 🙁

This was my first time in a number of years and I was really disappointed. My daughter got a piece of Key Lime Pie and while it tasted what it was supposed to taste like I'm not quite sure why they were charging $11. If I had know it was going to be that much I would have left. $11 for a piece of pie?? That's crazy. I used to love going for Mocha Torte or cheesecake but as these prices I think that was my last time. Really disappointed.

What a fun and cozy spot! This place feels like an old-school diner but is all about desserts and drinks now. They have a great variety of cakes, including delicious meringue options, and the portions are huge — definitely worth the price. It’s a lovely spot to sit down for coffee and dessert, with a friendly and kind staff that makes you feel welcome. I also love that kids can draw and hang their artwork on the wall — such a sweet touch that adds to the charm. It can get a bit loud or full, but the energy is cheerful and fun. Perfect for a family treat or a cozy evening with friends!

This place has cake magic. The variety of cakes is astounding and the quality is superb. They were gracious about a special request for a whole cake on short notice. The carrot cake is especially rich and good. My guests all raved about it. This is now a required stop for me for all trips to Winnipeg! No credit cards - this means USA Visa debits also do not work. If visiting Canada, bring cash!

Great vibes in this dining room. Service was friendly and slower paced. Food was ok. The pickerel needed more seasoning and the broccolini needed a lot more flavour. Same with the fries. It’s pricey for food that didn’t blow me away.

Rae & Jerry's steakhouse is a Winnipeg institution! It is located on Portage Avenue right on the banks of Omands Creek only steps from Polo Park Mall. It was constructed in 1957 for an approximate cost of $130,000, the current Rae & Jerry's remains, today, as it was in 1958: a large flat-roofed rectangular mass at the front (south) end and a gable-roofed structure at rear, off-set by a canopied driveway (for valet service) on the east side. Interior photographs from the 1950s reveal a similar form to that found now – a modern room with a low ceiling; free-standing tables were positioned in the centre of the space, with booths around the perimeter.

We came in as a larger party on short notice yesterday, and Chantelle and Dylan were beyond accommodating. They always made sure we never had an empty glass and were great with menu recommendations. I had a dry gin martini and the bruschetta flatbread - to die for!! Our spot in the lounge was anything but lacklustre. The location, vibe, and prompt service made it a perfect evening. Huge thanks again to Chantelle and Dylan for your outstanding and attentive service, and warm personalities. This was my first time at Rae & Jerry’s and it certainly won’t be my last!

After our fringe show were decided on a trip to the R & J’s lounge. Started off with a nice crisp Greek salad, dressing good, but I’ve have zippier ones. Did not have a big lunch so I settled on the monster clubhouse, good as always. Also sampled at the table were their mini burger sliders that were flavourful and juicy. There have been some bad reviews lately buy my visits there have always been great!!

It’s my first holiday without my dad which had me uneasy going into a family dinner - but when my family arrived at Rae and Jerry’s I felt so much more comfortable. Dylan and Sandor were both so kind to my family during this time - helped us with recommendations, allergies and any questions we had. These two were both great servers as well as great people. By the end of our visit they made the dinner and our experience so enjoyable. Thank you to you both - we will be back for another meal soon

First time at this restaurant. The food and drinks were good but management apparently over-booked. Our food took over 2.25 hours to come to our table and they ran out of some items on our order (mashed potatoes) by the time our plates arrived. Service was courteous and lively, but staff need to understand what celiac/gluten-free really means. Neat place for sure, but for the top end price you pay, I would expect more overall. It will be The Keg or Cibo for me next time.

For a steakhouse at this price point I would have expected a much better cut of meat. Several at my table got thin cuts that looked no better than grocery store cuts. Service was great, atmosphere was dated (70's?) but pretty quaint.

awesome spot in a historical building and a cool part of town. the server was attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious. a little on the expensive side but worth it for a good meal. bill came to 114$ without tip for lunch for 3 people + one dessert and coffees. worth taking a walk around the neighborhood afterwords. parking is not great in the area with mostly paid options only.

Had a wonderful supper here for a date night. Great service, attentive and helpful and our order was amazing! All very delicious! It's in a lovely location right next to the red river and has a very lively atmosphere which can get very loud. We shared the bruschetta and calamari, both were excellent! Definitely recommend visiting here!

My sister took me here lunch for my birthday. I loved that they have dedicated vegan menu, very rare to see that!l. I had the mushroom pizza that was so flavourful ! You can tell by the food how much passion the chef has for thier food. My sister had the chicken sandwich who commented it was the best sandwich she has ever had. The atmosphere was cool with the brick, black exposed cieling, etc. I loved the paint can artwork for the space! The waitress was so helpful and friendly made you feel so welcomed. All in all it was a great experience and super impressed with everything this restaurant has to offer.

I dream about these mussels daily. The sauce is absolutely delicious, we nearly fought over them at our table. The arancini balls are a great portion size and very comforting as well. Great atmosphere, excellent service. Appetizer options are great. Try a bruschetta flight!

Have been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time and I understand the popularity of it now! The pasta was great and they have a patio outside. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time because the restaurant gets really full

Had a little birthday dinner here with my friends. Everything was lovely! The food, the ambiance, our server. I’m mostly obsessed with the ceasar salad that comes as a side with the burger. It was so so so good! And the hazelnut latte was the best! Will definitely be back. Take my money lol

We celebrated my friend’s birthday here. The weather was sunny, the view outside the window was absolutely stunning, the food was perfect, and the prices were such a great value!” 🎂🌞🍷

Recently was introduced to this restaurant. They should have 5 Gold Stars behind their gold signage. From the moment you walk in, you are acknowledged and taken to your table. Customer service is second to none. They know how to make first impression. This is my third visit in a month. Jennifer and Steven were amazing. The parmasean buns with dipping sauce is amazing. I had the ceasar salad with grilled chicken and my friend had the vegan pizza. The chicken was the best I have ever tasted We finished with the cinnamon donuts. Everything had amazing flavor , portions large. Still smiling from that meal . Will be back for sure. Prices very reasonable ❤️😊

This was our third time visiting this location, and I could have easily given the same rating on our previous visits. Our server was friendly and knew when to stop by our table to inquire about our food and drinks. His swiftness to casually drop the dessert menu and quickly remove it when we declined was appreciated. The food is by far the main reason to visit. Never a disappointment and always packed with flavour, there isn't a menu item that I've found to avoid. If you're looking for a step up in a dining experience, your wallet will thank you for spending wisely.

My fave Italian restaurant in town😍 Food and services are phenomenal! Manny was the one that served us so many times when visited and we appreciate his hospitality and friendliness. The downsides are some of the tables for two are too small and sometimes when the restaurant gets packed the layout of the restaurant makes it really inconvenient to walk.

I’ve been coming here for many years and for obvious reasons but tonight was better than usual. Our server KJ was friendly, attentive and she also had perfect timing. Also thank you KJ for the tip about the tomato sauce with the calamari — such a game changer!!

I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always delicious! Service is fast. Staff is friendly, polite and professional! Make sure you book a table before coming.

Great restaurant on Waverley Street. The service was really good and the food was excellent! Would highly recommend the baked Brie and the lemon meringue cheesecake! Will certainly be coming back.

first time there, my friend celebrated my birthday and it was nice, the food was great, the place had a good feeling and the waiters were very friendly.

Food is good but would not recommend for the large groups (over 10). Takes longer than an hour to get food and it’s coming out slow. So first plates are already cold by the time the last person gets the food.

If you're looking for a cozy place to eat dinner, grab some wine and have a satisfying meal, look no further. Parking can be tight, but there's street parking and a short walk if needed. The braised beef gnocchi was melt in your mouth savouryness, the beef fell apart like butter. Sangria was refreshing. As a solo traveler for work bar seating was no problem but already full ish in the evening on Saturday so might be good to get reservations for peak times. Alex the waitress was super fun, friendly and attentive, she's been there for 20 years now! Ann the waitress was awesome too, the chocolate creme brule had a satisfying crunch sound when your spoon breaks through the caramel layer.

Wonderful pizza and service! Have been there twice. Food arrived quickly both times with fresh and unique ingredients. My friend and I had the spicy pepperoni pizza which was delicious. One pizza was a perfect portion for both of us to share. We also tried the carrot cake which was a generous portion and fantastic. Would highly recommend! It’s best to make a reservation as they are a popular destination.

First time trying Bonfire Bistro. To start, we had the bruschetta, which tasted great with the goat cheese. I tried the prosciutto & pear pizza, and I really enjoyed this combination of flavors and textures. The crust was a flat bread style thin crust, which was nice. Recommend giving it a try if you haven't tried this type of pizza before. Lastly, I had the paella. The meats in this dish were cooked perfectly, and the portion was quite large (could be shared between two people). However, the seasoning of the dish was a bit bland. Overall, most of the dishes were very good. The waiter was great as well.

Went for a family lunch and was not disappointed. We were greeted right away and seated quickly. The restaurant was fairly full but we got a great spot. The meals were prepared quickly and had great potions. I had the salad (caesar) and sandwich (meatball) combo and my wife and daughter both had a half pizza and salad combo. We then also shared a desert which was more than enough for the 3 of us. The dinner specials were posted and we definitely will be going back for a family supper in the near future.

I have frequented this establishment a few times over many years and it is still the same drab lack lustre restaurant it has always been, only still in business because of its location and regulars. Having servers not seat me but just point to a table, telling me to read the specials off of a dirty chalk board in the far corner, having to ask for water, cutlery, and being served by people in sweatpants are just a a few of the negative experiences. The food while tasty at times, is inconsistent. My husband and I both ordered the salmon, when they ran out of the vegetables they subbed in different ones without a mention. This establishment has the opportunity to be better but chooses not to.

After trying many places in winnipeg this place definitely was the one. I dont think I have ever had a pasta that tasted so good before. The pizza sauce was so fresh and flavorful that it made the pizza so amazing. This bistro will definitely be a regular place when coming to the city.

My favourite Indian food buffet in Winnipeg. Very fresh, delicious and nice variety! Bonus points for a good dessert selection and the fact they label every dish, making it easy for those with allergies. Friendly and quick service too. Highly recommend this place when downtown!

I've been there multiple times for buffet. Worth to try atleast once. Recommend buffet -dessert(mango delight, i guess) is good.10/10 The first time i went, the taste was very nice. 9/10 The next time i went , I had different dishes, but still 8/10 The last time i visited the food, I felt like it was just reheated and salty couldn't eat. Veg snacks feels dry. Chicken felt uncooked. The only things good were water and desserts.

Really Really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. Food was flavourful well prepared service was great. atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend trying this if you’re downtown. They also use Uber eats

Located at downtown, no free parking. Called their resto twice to confirm if they have free parking and been told to park underground as long as no reserved parking space but unfortunately, the female owner denied what I've been told by a guy who instructed me when I called. Good thing no ticket to worry after. Brought my family and they enjoyed the buffet. Variety of choices for vegetarian, meat lover and a chutney bar. Their dish are variety from chicken, lamb, crabmeat and beef. Tried theier biryani but not the best but lots of assortment actually. You can order the flavoured naan bread at extra cost and we opted for the plain one. We got if fresh and warm. Desserts includes ice cream, mango puding (reco), rice pudding, jelibee and multiple dessert.

Simply the best place for indian tasty food, service was royal and all staff were very professional. Highly recommend, I will be back! Thank you to all the staff for a good experience!

Went here with three friends on a recommendation, and it was absolutely worth it! The ambiance was amazing — elegant, warm, and perfect for a relaxing evening out. The food was great with so many varieties to choose from, and every dish was full of authentic flavour. The buffet price also beats most other restaurants in the city, making it a great value for what you get. Highly recommend for anyone who loves quality Indian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere!

1 Star I visited East India Pub and Eatery with my family today, and it was an absolute disaster. The food was not just bad; it was likely spoiled, as we all came home with severe stomach issues. I personally have been dealing with gas and discomfort since we got back. To make matters worse, there was a fly sitting on the food, which is a huge hygiene red flag. On top of that, there was an older lady—who I don’t know if she was the manager or owner—walking around the restaurant being very rude. One employee informed her about the fly on our food, and she simply said she couldn’t do anything. Even while paying the bill, she was trying to force me to leave a tip. She said that usually other restaurants add 15–20% tip automatically, but she didn’t; she left it up to me. When I explained that tipping is my choice, she continued pressuring me, which was completely disrespectful. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially families with kids. Between the poor hygiene, bad food, and rude staff, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had

My boyfriend and I were there for his Birthday. Food was amazing. Well, the portion for appetizer and dessert is so small but the main food was awesome. I brought his Birthday cake over there and asked them to bring it after dinner and they surprised me with sparkles and my boyfriend was so happy. Their staff are friendly.

Good service and good food My appetiser escargot Diabolo was awesome, the spring rolls were delicious, the soup a five spice Asian beef soup was just ok my bowl had very little beef while my friends had chunks of beef. The salad of mixed greens and berry vinegarete was delicious! I chose the rack of lamb for my entrée, while it tasted fabulous the portion was extremely small. Friend ordered the chicken and she loved every bite. The mashed potatoes were excellent Dessert was great however small Overall it was. Good experience may or may not be back will have to see what the menu has at the time.

A completely mellow atmosphere at lunch on a Thursday in late May. Be aware, the outdoor patio can get warm, but it's a very nice space that continues the decor of the interior. We had the good fortune to have had Dario himself waiting today, so the interactions were lively and very engaging. He is a master of the light hearted tease. The food as always was a fusion of flavors that meld into a most enjoyable gastronomic experience. The spicy pork tenderloin with mango, lives up to it's spicy name, but is well worth a try. The presentation is whimsical, as always. Without question a reliable place to find delicious fare.

I got the cheapest off the lunch menu thinking it might be subpar... I couldn't be more wrong! This stuffed chicken breast is absolutely fantastic. Might be too much to say this dish is life changing, but it is fair to say this is the best chicken breast dish I ever tasted! Found this place because of my gluten intolerant friend, and while it sounded wrong, today I thank him for that. Second picture entrees is a beef tenderloin, so good!

Tranquil & interesting atmosphere. Superb appetizer and entree choices. Excellent value for the 5⭐ 5 course meal, with bread basket also. Great to take that special someone or a guest from out of town; to impress! Serving friendly and timely. Fine wine list!

Move aside 529! Today was my first time dining here and I can say it will not be the last. The servings were smaller than I expected but very filling and flavorful. I definitely recommend everyone to try this place out, but I will not be held responsible if you get addicted to the food! Bravo! Bravo to our waiter as well. Best experience I have had in years

Went here for a work Christmas party and it was excellent! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and they always made sure you were looked after. The food was amazing and looked great. I will definitely be back there!

This place has been on my list for a while to try out the pizza. We tried the diavolo (scallops) to start. They were okay, but the sauce was a little bland, and not many of the flavors popped, making the price point not justifiable. We then tried The Don and Terroso pizzas. The pizza crust is probably one of the best neopolitan styled crusts in the city. We loved the unique flavors or the Terroso. We did not enjoy The Don's flavor as much. The meat combination felt off. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try some of the other pizza's, the more wild the combination, the better it seems here.

I had dinner with friends last night and ordered the Ragu Bolognese. It was just okay—not impressive. The dish was served unevenly, with some parts cold and others warm. However, the atmosphere and service were good. Don’t expect exceptionally delicious or unique food here.

*This review is posted on a family member’s behalf.* Recently, my partner and I had a dinner reservation at Pizzeria Gusto, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. When we arrived, the greeter immediately mentioned that there was another reservation after ours. While I understand the need to manage table times, this comment felt unnecessary and created an uncomfortable sense of being rushed before we had even sat down. Two hours is more than enough time for dinner, and we would have appreciated a more welcoming introduction. The overall atmosphere followed suit. We felt more hurried than relaxed throughout the meal. To make matters worse, the food itself was not enjoyable for us. Our dishes were unexpectedly spicy, which was not indicated on the menu or by our server. This made it difficult to fully appreciate what might have otherwise been good food. In the end, what should have been a pleasant night out instead felt pressured and uncomfortable. A little more warmth in the greeting and clearer communication about the food would have gone a long way toward improving the experience. We will not be returning.

Wanted a good Margherita pizza, first time here and it hit the spot. Was happy to know they had a good non alcoholic beer, the patio area was so lovely. Will be back.

I have been to this location a few times and this was by far my least favourite. My friends and I sat outside on the patio and our server barely came to check in on us and was a bit too busy attending to what seemed like his friends at the table beside us. The lack of good service definitely made my friend’s birthday dinner not as enjoyable as usual. I was wanting to order another drink for about 30 minutes but a server who was a male, although I cant remember his name(lucky for him), did not even ask us if we wanted more to drink or how our food was tasting. Due to this I didn’t get another glass of wine and none of my friends ordered a second drink or desert. To be honest we were ready to leave. I am all about service and if it isn’t good it definitely does not make the overall experience or even the food taste any better. I was also a bit disappointed in my pasta. I understand it was a busy night, but if our server wasn’t so focused on talking with his friends then maybe we would have been able to have a better experience. I am not sure if I will be back anytime soon. I for sure think the management needs to have a chat with the servers to make sure they are attending to their tables properly and checking in.

Probably one of the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time. I was really disappointed, as my brother said great things about his previous visits, although this time he was definitely not satisfied. Maybe the cook was just bad that night. Idk. The food was awful and extremely overpriced. I ordered a seafood risotto which costed nearly $50. When I got my food, it was luke warm at best. The flavors were weird, i got a bite that was straight spices. I decided to start on the seafood. It was again, Luke warm. The scallops were raw, and slimy. They were transparent and goopy. Not only that but they were terrible quality, clearly previously frozen and not properly cooked. The texture was awful They said they are supposed to be lightly fried on both sides, but only 1 side was minimally lightly grilled. I didnt eat it. I ordered a side of sour dough bread to fill me up and that came out burnt, it was black and tasted like cardboard. It was a table of 7 and the only person who was satisfied was my 9 year old nephew. He ordered an appetizer which consisted of 5 tiny meatballs and some burnt sourdough , which cost a whopping $25...We all left hungry. The pizzas had no sauce. It basically tasted like pita bread with some garden leaves on top, but it was the most edible thing at our table. My mom ordered pickeral cheeks, but they were burnt and just tasted like burnt balls of dough. You couldnt even taste the pickeral. I would suggest you avoid this place. The music and restaurant was so loud that you couldn't even have a conversation with the person sitting beside you. Just overall a bad experience. The server was polite, but they were clearly understaffed as they didnt even check on us until we were nearly done eating.

Stopped in today for lunch with mom. Our server admitted that today was his first day, and it showed, but he did his best. We shared the Caesar and chopped salads and the Don and Sylvia pizzas. Once ordered, everything was quick to the table, the right temperature and delicious! A note to the manager/owners - new staff need trainers or someone to float with them. Our server wasn't aware of the beer choices, which ones were unavailable, etc. A trainer would have been able to help them out.

I actually flew from Calgary just to eat at this restaurant - and it was absolutely worth it! I lived in Georgia back in 2022, and ever since then, I’ve been searching for authentic Georgian food wherever I travel. When I found a cheap flight to Winnipeg for Thanksgiving, the very first thing I checked was whether there was a Georgian restaurant in town. The moment I discovered Saperavi, I booked my flight! The experience did not disappoint. I ordered Badrijani, Khachapuri Adjaruli, Khinkali, and Napoleon cake - and somehow found room for all of it. Everything was so fresh and delicious that I simply couldn’t stop eating. The flavors were truly authentic, just like what I had back in Tbilisi. I even had the pleasure of meeting Chef Larysa, a wonderful woman whose cooking instantly cured my nostalgia for Georgian food. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of Georgian charm. Mind you, I’m Italian born and raised - it’s not easy to satisfy my taste buds, but Saperavi absolutely did! I was only sorry that the restaurant was closed on Thanksgiving Day - otherwise, I would have gone back for another meal! I sincerely wish we had something like Saperavi in Calgary. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Georgian cuisine!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! It's such a clean and quiet spot, perfect for a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely delicious—truly amazing quality! What really impressed me was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and effortlessly multilingual, speaking English, Russian, and Ukrainian (and likely more!). Highly recommend for great food and superb, accommodating service.

Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service. I tried several dishes I hadn't heard of before, and they were all great. I recommend it!

Beautiful place, great staff and the food is so good I couldn't stop until I was in physical pain!! Definitely reccomend, I got the georgian supper for 4 people and it was more than enough (there was 4 adults and one toddler in my group), great portions and absolutely delicious.

Those khinkaly were huge and tasty!😋 I enjoyed my time, Georgian music, Georgian wine, great meat, friendly atmosphere, highly recommend! On the bottom is a Ukrainian restaurant Mlyn, you can have delicious Ukrainian food, Borsch, herring, Shuba and much more, same owner, so you can try both restaurants as I did, was a great experience 👍😊

My boyfriend and I have been to Saperavi several times, and it’s always amazing! We love their khachapuri and khinkali, they’re perfect. The girls are always helpful, and genuinely care about their guests. Every dish tastes made with love. It’s our go-to spot for a cozy, romantic dinner. Highly recommend to anyone who loves good food and a cozy, romantic setting!

First time trying Georgian food, tried the shkmeruli and the beef and pork pie. The shkmeruli is easily hands down one of my favorite dish now!

Food and service were really good. The food portion is soo big that it was enough for us for 2 meals. I would actually prefer if they gave the option to order 1/2 size for less price. The chicken paprika was a pleasant surprise, it was tender and juicy and the sauce was delicious.

I recently tried Danish cuisine for the first time, and it was a memorable experience. The pork schnitzel had was perfectly crisp yet tender, a simple dish done exception ally well. The ambiance was inviting, and my server's thoughtful recommendations added a personal touch to the meal. It was a quiet yet satisfying introduction to Danish flavors, leaving me curious to explore more.

I'm not sure what took me so long to visit this gem, but I'm glad I finally did. I recommend a reservation because this place is not very big and they were packed for dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant decor itself is a little tired however it didn't matter much to me because the food was great! The service, very efficient, one server and an assistant. They worked hard and fast to serve everyone that seemed to come in around the same time.I had the borscht to start which was pretty good. Pork schnitzel was outstanding, tasty and crispy, dinner portion comes with two and even though I loved it, no way I could eat 2. It was served with potatoes O'Brian which were okay, I'd seek a different option next time, they tasted tired and warmed up, like leftovers. Sweet and sour cabbage was very tasty. Had a side of mushroom gravy for the schnitzel but honestly it wasn't needed, it the schnitzel is out standing on its own, though the gravy was also delicious. I'd go back for sure! This is the place if your looking for fantastic comfort food. Go while you still can, I understand the owners are retiring and it is up for sale.

Lovely place. I had the pork schnitzel, sour cabbage and potatoes, and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. My mother is quite picky when it comes to food and had the chicken and vegetable soup which she claims was "out of this world". I will definitely be back with my family to try other menu items.

Absolutely yes Hype is real - get the pork schnitzel! They were kind enough to allow us to dine in for lunch at 1:30p even though they closed between 2-5p. Crispiest schnitzel I’ve ever had, and the cabbage on the side is so tasty. Lunch plate is an excellent portion size - you get two schnitzels! (Lunch is also better priced than dinner) I can see during busy services having one server might increase your wait time, but staff is extremely kind and humble, and I love that it’s a family business. Charming restaurant (it’s not very big) and was featured on “You Gotta Eat Here!”.

Three adult visit for a lunch! 2023 Nov A cozy European style deco and serves danish dishes. Excellent service. We ordered Borscht, Pork Schnitzel and Danish meatball with a mushroom gravy. A complimentary small basket of dinner roll and sliced baguette served. The schnitzel and the meatball were tasty but a little harder than expected (slightly different than a crisp/crunch : soft meat inside but the batter was hard does that make sense?) Overall enjoyable experience and a nice local place to visit. A decent price for the generous portion.

It's been years since I was last here.... Why did it take so long to return?? Delicious meal, friendly staff, cozy environment and enormous portions. Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The cabbage side dish is phenomenal as are the O'Brian potatoes. Be sure to try the schnitzel! I won't wait this long for my next visit.

It’s 1st time here. I have to say it was not what I expected. Smaller & Very outdated from mixed matched tables to decades old cutlery, dishe , plastic drinking glasses.food was mediocre. Overpriced. Classic Rueben was not classic, raw sourkraut not grilled (20 Gr.)& corned beef was microwaved on classics grilled(68 Gr). Hot mustard only in 1 spot on bread, instead of thousand island. Couldn’t taste Swiss cheese, I don’t even see any., grilled greasy rye bread, clubhouse was more lettuce & cheese, tomato, than meats. Disappointed, Was not impressed. Also, the waitress had to run out to the store to buy a bag of ice, because they didn’t have ice in the restaurant. Apparently they don’t have room to store the ice. Reply to owner: Aaron Sad that you feel the need to insult a person who gave you a bad review. As for negative reviews I have given several positive reviews when they are worth positive reviews. I changed my review to 1 only because can’t leave you a Zero rating. You can be sure I will not step foot in this place again. As for the Rueben the sourkraut & corn beef was not grilled as in a classic Rueben the picture proves my review. Get over yourself Aaron! I’ll gladly accept my $45 back.

I haven't been here for over 30 years, we stopped in before Rumors. I had the Classic Reuben and my lady had the Loaded Chicken Soup. The food was great the service was excellent even with the server forgetting my drink, my only complaint would be the price. Soup and sandwich $37 this goes against alot. I always state that I'll pay for quality but, it wasn't worth that price.

Got the “Illegal Curve” sandwich , straight slapped. Sandwich was very good and Suprisingly light but very satisfying, the ingredients are clean and fresh. Got the Mozza Ball soup on the side, it was alright, nothing too special if you ask me but it wasnt bad at all. Their other soups sound very good. Very nice staff, nice atmosphere. Good job.

I come to Bernsteins often, and I very much appreciate that they have a vegan menu here. Every Christmas and thanksgiving, I come here to get the vegan beyond meat cabbage rolls and the vegan perogies that are hand made in the restaurant. The food is great! I appreciate you too Aaron! Thank you!

Back in August, we had brunch at Bernstein’s Deli, a traditional Jewish deli full of comfort and flavour ✡️🧡 I had the deluxe Reuben sandwich — stacked and savoury — plus a warm, soul-soothing bowl of Matzo Ball Soup 🥣✨ A delicious, deli-style hug in every bite. Highly recommend! 5 stars ✳️ #BrunchGoals #BernsteinsDeli #MatzoBallMagic #ReubenAndSoupKindOfDay

Went in at 11am for breakfast. I ordered the eggs, latkes with sour cream and a Bagelsmith bagel. Though we were the only ones in the restaurant for 20+ minutes, we were a bit surprised it took 40 minutes to get our food. The food was decent. The front of house staff were super friendly, though it may be advisable to remind front and back of house that conversations in the kitchen can be readily overheard on the floor, and there are some things that patrons don’t need to overhear. In terms of the store-side, there is a wide variety of products. Being a fan of soup, I was thoroughly impressed by the selection of soups in the freezer. I purchased the borscht and carrot & coconut soup - both were delicious. Additionally, I purchased a fresh baked loaf of challah; also delicious. We appreciated the wide range of vegetarian options, both on the menu and in the soup freezer. Looking forward to returning for more soup and baking.

An exceptional meal every time, regardless of the time of day. Most recently I enjoyed their Super Delicious Breakfast Wrap and it lives up to its name. Make sure you take time to come down and have a a meal here, they even do breakfast all day if you're in that kind of mood! We'll be back for sure!

First time trying this place after hearing good things for years. It's.......ok. The Reuben was good, but not $18.75 good. The potato salad was decent. The "famous pickle" was disappointing. It should honestly just be served with the sandwiches for free. The Generic Lager is exactly how it sounds....but if somebody orders a pint, let's fill the glass with beer not foam. Look....im still giving a 4 star review here, but in the end I spent about $35 on a sandwich, potato salad, 1 pickle, and 3/4 of a pint of beer....seems a bit much.

I was keen to try a sandwich on the local red river rye bread and found this restaurant when I searched for a nearby sandwich shop. The Ruben was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire life! Honestly I wish we weren't just driving through Winnipeg because I would have gone back for a second sandwich. We got the sandwiches and sides to go with some of their delicious rosemary lemonade, but the inside of the restaurant was clean and looked very trendy. The staff were also very welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend this sandwich shop, in particular their Ruben sandwich.

I ordered during burger week and it was delicious. The enchillo burger was spot on though i prefer maybe toning down the sauce. Pretty great atmosphere and there's small patio outside

Amazing sandwiches and exceptional service. We were attending Jazz Fest and wanted a sandwich so we went to King and Bannatyne. We opted to order a pickle with our sandwiches because we knew from previous visits that their pickles are excellent, but they forgot to put the pickle in our take out bag and we didn't notice. We left K&B to find a place to sit with our sandwiches and enjoy the Jazz Fest. A few minutes later, I notice the server from King and Bannatyne is walking through the crowd and seems like they're looking for something or someone. Then it hits me that they might be looking for me and I realize that they must have our forgotten pickle. I make eye contact with them and they wave to me. Not only did they bring our pickle, they also gave us some complimentary chocolate chip cookies. They could have just as easily said to themselves "oh well, they forgot their pickle" and put the onus on me to go back to ask about it; instead they decided to go the extra mile and search through a crowd of people to ensure that we got what we had asked for. I will definitely be back to King and Bannatyne because they have great sandwiches and a high degree of integrity. Many kudos to you folks at King and Bannatyne.

Utterly fantastic rueben, they do not skimp on the pickles. Super friendly redheaded lady working the till. Absolutely will be back. 11/10.

Amazing food and service. Loved the Buffalo chicken sandwich but would recommend that one to eat in (not take out), as it would get messy and the bun would get too saucy. Broccoli slaw great too.

So disappointed! Me and my husband have been here a couple times and absolutely LOVED IT! We live out of town so we don’t eat here very often. Yesterday we made a special trip downtown for our anniversary just for the brisket sandwich; we get it everytime. It was terrible. There was so much overpowering mustard on one half of my sandwich I could’nt eat it. And the Meat was so tough and chewy on both sandwiches my husband had to throw his out and I could only eat a bit of mine. Neither of us complain very easily but for $19 each!… Whoever cut the meat should’ve have known not to put that meat in a sandwich. There was way more fat than meat and the meat was NOT CHEWABLE! There definitely needs to be some sort of quality control as it seems there’s other review similar to this one. So disappointed! I’m not sure if we will go back.

Wonderful meal at Yujiro. The taste and appearance of the food was excellent. Charming atmosphere. Tuna carpaccio, oysters, tempura shrimp, chicken karaage, shrimp gyoza, Nagoya roll, trio dessert. White wine from Niagara, a bit sweet for our taste but nice. 🇨🇦

Wow that place was amazing. This was the best sushi, and seafood we tried. The service was a little slow, we were waiting a bit to order, and the waiter didn't check on us for a while. But it was worth it anyways, just thinking about the food makes my mouth water. We got oysters, tuna carpacio and amazing roles with the freshest ingredients!! Highly recommend

I hope one day Google allows for 1/2 stars, because overall Yujiro deserves a 4.5 but there was no way I could give it a 4 based on the meal we had. The food was incredible, and beautiful all at the same time, not just what we ordered but the tables around us had some of the most stunning sushi rolls and plating I’ve seen in a sushi restaurant. It made you want to constantly ask “whats that?” And why didn’t I order it! The service on the other hand could use some tweaking, friendly yes, but constantly rushed and they lost our reservation that I had to confirm at-least twice prior to arriving. Our server was so hurried they forgot about our drinks a couple times, and you feel rushed to order and to pay once you’re done. Again not just us, the tables are so close I could hear the table next to us getting the same treatment. One person actually responded “we just sat down, no we aren’t ready to order” this is why they deserve a 4.5.

Yujiro is one of two Japanese restaurants that I personally know source much of their fish directly from Japan. That, combined with accolades for being among the top restaurants in the country, ensure that you’ll be getting top quality food. That was indeed the case, where every role was authentic and fresh. Delish and we’ll worth the price (~$30-40/person, depending on how hungry and exorbitant you are). Highly recommend the cold sake, which comes in a decanter that looks like it just came out of da Vinci’s laboratory. Got the hot sake and it just came in a traditional sake decanter with product branding and was jealous of the neighbor’s table! The ambiance is intimate and feels like you’re lucky enough to be friends with a rich Japanese chef who invited a few select guests over. Would be great for special occasions, dates, or an elegant evening out, but definitely doesn’t require such formality to enjoy! Overall, Yujiro is one of the best spots in the city for quality Japanese sushi. Can’t wait to try their ramen and donburi options in the future! If you don’t mind 75% quality at 90% the cost, the city has plentiful other options.

Delicious food, fresh sashimi. Beautiful restaurant. Would suggest to have printed menu rather than digital. Took us a while to order since we have to keep scrolling up and down on a tiny ipad. We came under an hour before restaurant closes after lunch and the staffs were a bit rushy. We totally understood, but were also very uncomfortable as the staff kept trying to clean our table. There weren’t much dishes for us but the coming back and forth to collect 1 thing at a time was quite unnecessary. I was almost choked on my food try to hurry myself out of there under that pressure! Other than the excessive and unsubtle rushing, it was good

This was my first visit to Yujiro since their recent renovation, and I was genuinely impressed. The space has been completely transformed into a sleek, modern setting with warm, inviting lighting that sets the perfect mood for any occasion. Even more exciting is their revamped menu. What used to be a more traditional, bento-style offering has evolved into a bold, innovative fusion of Japanese cuisine. Chef Ed brings his unique flair to every dish, crafting sushi that surprises you with layers of texture and unexpected flavors—each bite is a creative journey. From start to finish, the food was outstanding and beautifully presented. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and comfortable, making it ideal for a cozy date night, a joyful family gathering, or a special celebration. If you're looking for a refreshing take on Japanese food that’s both delicious and thoughtfully prepared, Yujiro is definitely worth checking out.

This place and gaijin Izakaya have the best ramen in winnipeg in my opinion. Sadly, Yujiro only offers ramen during lunch menu

We came to visit for dinner on a hot night soon after the restaurant’s opening for the evening service. We were seated at a two top bar table right away. Being somewhat excited to taste the food we order off the rotating menu board and the standard menu to get an idea of what this restaurant is like. Tasty. We didn’t mind but were out of water with no refills before our main course came. We had to have the previous plates cleared when food came out due to the very small size of the table. We would have stayed for dessert except the sound level was greatly increasing as diners trickled in for dinner and lack of something to drink. Great art and every possibility of a great experience. Too hot and thirsty to really enjoy.

We had a nice meal at Feast, our waitress was very friendly and helped make it a nice relaxed experience.. maybe too relaxed, as things moved very slowly. I think they run a tight ship, she seemed to be the only waitress running the dinner service, which meant there was long periods between food, drink refills and the bill. The food was solid with decent portions. I wish there was more interesting apps, many seemed similar to the mains so we didn’t really try many. We left happy and very full.

I was visiting Winnipeg and took some local friends with me who had not been before. We all LOVED it. (Images are the Saskatoon Berry Smoothie, Lemon Pepper Manitoba Pickerel and Sweetgrass Creme Brulée) Service: EXCELLENT, they greeted us as we walked in, took our order quite quickly and even let us know what was not available and that the one desert was limited so we ask for it to be put aside for us, which they happily did. Food: absolutely delicious, it felt very homey but with a fancy twist. Everything felt fresh and it was hot! Not to mention our our cups never ran dry. Always filled up with water. Vibe: Nurturing - you could tell they took pride in their food and restaurant. It was small but cosy. The servers we happy to engage in conversation with us as well. Highly recommend.

A Culinary Hug from the Heart of Winnipeg 🌟 Feast Café Bistro isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience rooted in Indigenous pride, tradition, and hospitality. I came in for brunch… and left with something deeper. What I ordered: • BBQ Bison Ribs – fall-off-the-bone tender, rich in flavour, worth every second of the wait. • Sweetgrass Iced Tea – herbal, refreshing, and unexpectedly calming. Like sipping a story. • Bonus: the staff were incredibly kind and cooked the bison for me even though it wasn’t on the brunch menu. Indeed true legends. The space feels warm, inclusive, and grounded a quiet celebration of Indigenous culture through food. They use traditional ingredients like bannock, wild rice, sweetgrass, and bison, bringing them into delicious modern dishes that tell a story. Final Verdict: This isn’t fast food. This is food with a soul. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, appreciate the roots, and remember why food is about connection. Whether you’re a local or visiting Winnipeg, don’t miss this hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back.

Eggs Benedict on bannock is very delicious. Quality ingredients used. Upbeat service. A very tasty iced latte caramel crunch. Good choice of breakfast / brunch.

We were excited to visit Feast Café Bistro in Winnipeg and try their bison dishes — and the food truly impressed us. Everything was full of flavour and clearly prepared with care and cultural pride. However, our experience was dampened by the service. The waitress didn’t seem welcoming or friendly, which made us feel a bit out of place as guests. With such excellent food, we hope the warmth of the service can match the quality coming from the kitchen.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere has such a great vibe. I had the Bison Reuben and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted—flavourful, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can really see the effort that goes into every dish. Highly recommend stopping by!

Been here a few times over the years, every time it’s been more and more disappointing. Fillings are slim and not as flavourful as before. Feels like cafeteria when you line up, staff aren’t that friendly and the whole experience is unmemorable.

Very cute spot in the exchange! The spice in some of their dishes can definitely be overtly strong, but the food is certainly very good. Would come back!

Picked up two items from here when I stumbled over this restaurant on my stroll. K-pop bowl with beef is super satisfying in the portion and variety of veggies. It’s a variation of bibimbap. Second item ordered is the King St. Chicken burrito. Lots of things rolled up in a seaweed sheet along with crispy chicken strips. I took bites off both before taking evidence so, meaning they are approved by me. And there’s a 10% discount when showing student ID.

I've been coming here since day one so it's been about 7 years and I must say the food has definitely drop to mediocre and expensive for the smaller portion, this was $45!!!. the location on Taylor seemed better but haven't been there in a while.

Not a Chosabi location anymore. It's Soho Kitchen and Bar, and supposedly this transition happened 3 months ago according to the new ownership. 1 star for the inconvenience of driving through the city to get to this location and for Chosabi not updating it on Google... Waste of my time.

Another great Asian fusion restaurant within the city!! The atmosphere is great for chatting with friends/family/co-workers with their open concept and seating. They serve sushi burritos that will leave you wanting seconds (jumping shrimp is my fav!!). They recently added dessert and a taro latte which has yet to be tried. It can be a little pricey but definitely give this place a try.

Spicy Kimchi Udon bowl with beef was reasonably priced and tasted excellent! Enjoyed the eat in view of downtown too. Excellent spot to stop for a quick lunch! Staff was super friendly and helpful!

Just stopped in for drinks and apps, and wow—the food was insanely good. The service staff were super friendly and fun to chat with. Patio season continues to deliver!

I usually come here by myself mostly weekends and sometimes weekdays. I really like this place as its perfect for an introvert for sure who likes to go out on solo dates... there range of cocktails is very good and they have very good vegan options.

What a cute gem! Food was just alright when I came, the real star of the show was the drinks. Such a great atmosphere, you must come here and enjoy a Winnipeg summer evening!

Amazing chef making the food best Beef Tar Tare I've ever had! Clean restaurant very chill vibes all round!

We had Scottie as our server and she made my experience amazing! I own restaurants in Ontario, so I super appreciate fantastic food and phenomenal service. She went above and beyond in helping me chose the perfect food and cocktails. She also put a list of cool spots to visit while I am visiting in Winnipeg. Overall loved the restaurant and the quaint intimate experience. Fabulous place, highly recommend.

I went here for drinks and food with a friend on a Friday after work in the summer. The patio was nicely decorated and quite beautiful, especially being a floor up from Corydon gives you a bit of a break from the street noise. The food wasn't great though for me. It just wasn't as flavorful or seasoned as I had hoped, which was disappointing given the prices. Maybe it was just an off night or what I ordered, as I've generally heard good things about this place. And our server was fairly disengaged. But the patio, as I've said, looked quite nice. The menus are a copy of something hand drawn (in a good way, very cozy and familiar) and there is a hip trendy vibe here if that's your thing.

I was really curious about The Roost after seeing it listed as #39 in "Canada's 50 Best Bars." So, while visiting MB,Canada, I knew I had to Check It Out. Luckily, we found a vacant parking spot almost directly across from The Roost’s entrance, like it was waiting just for us—haha. The warm welcome continued inside, where the server and bartender smiled at every guest as they passed by, adding to the friendly vibe. We decided to go just before sunset to really experience the chill atmosphere. The timing was perfect, with the cozy patio and evening vibe setting the mood. The drinks were amazing! Even though we didn’t try any cocktails, the mocktails we had—Pink Moon and Ginger Rogers—were extremely good. They had a homemade, creative twist that made them stand out. And the prices were reasonable—less than 10 CAD each for the mocktails. For food, we tried the pork buns and the market veggies (a delicious potato salad). Note that there are vegan-friendly (VF) options. We came to The Roost just to relax and soak in the ambiance, and it didn’t disappoint. Even with the chill in the air, the patio was a great spot to unwind before winter fully set in.

Petit Socco is a gem of a restaurant, a small precious space with seating for only 10 people. The husband and wife team run two seatings a night and reservations are hard to come by. Food is delicious and service is good. At $100+ per person it's not a place I'd go regularly but definitely a great place for special occasions.

Hands down best meal in my life! The intimate experience with 10 total patrons and Courtney and Adam were incredible! So many complex flavours! Can’t describe how wonderful the experience was.

Absolutely lovely place to enjoy dinner and good company. The atmosphere is intimate which is perfect for a relaxed evening out. It’s clear this is a favorite spot in the community, as reservations are usually needed most evenings (a sign of how well-loved it is) Parking is simple and stress free which makes the whole experience even smoother. A true gem for anyone who appreciates great food in a welcoming and small locally owned spot.

This is a must try! The booking can be alittle frustrating because it is very hard to get a reservation. However it works on a 30 day revolving schedule with a new day opening at noon each day. The owners are a chef/server duo and you can feel their passion the whole time. With the quaint space they do a great job at staying attentive! It's a preselected menu that they have hand selected the ingredients to pair well together. Was one of the better experiences I've had in a while.

The subdued lighting was sublime after a long day. The lovely service person, added to the perfection of the evening, with subtle water and vino replenishment, to the perfect descriptive of each service. Each dish was humbling. The flavors so deep, they defy a simple descriptive. Reflecting, I leaned over to my spouse with each different bite, to share words of passion...the cod glistened / the depth of the sauce / the dessert...no words on this world to describe the perfection....if there is one thing you should do in life, is to bless yourself with a culinary experience such as...PETIT SOCCO

A truly incredible dining experience! We loved our meal at Petit Socoo. Each dish was somehow better than the next - all fresh, elevated and full of flavour. The service was lovely and attentive, creating a warm and cozy dining atmosphere in a small space. Would 100% recommend a meal here.

We tried Petit Socco for the first time. It is a very cute small restaurant. The menu is a set menu that changes over time. We had the tempura asparagus, halibut in beurre blanc with frites, muscovy duck and beetroot, and a lemon mousse with chantilly cream. The halibut and beurre blanch was "lick the bowl clean" delicious with a perfectly balanced flavor. The muscovy duck was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The duck came with homemade bread (probably one of the best in the city) for dipping in the sauce, which tasted great. The tempura asparagus was cooked perfectly. However, using asparagus as a tempura option tastes a little odd (my preference). The lemon mousse was a very light dessert at the end, which paired well with everything. To note, the seating is close together, so it is not private/quiet. I was filled after eating here. However, if you eat large portions, keep in mind that the sizes are on the smaller side. Our server (and I think owner?) was very nice, and you could tell they loved their job. Overall, I would definitely come back to try their new menus in the future.

Maxime's is a Winnipeg staple in the restaurant industry. You have free parking. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Andrew was our server, and he did an excellent job. We never had to ask for a water or coffee refill. The food menu has something for everyone. We ordered 6 different dishes, and they all looked and tasted great. When we went to order the dessert, Andrew brought put the sample dish to show us all the options. The restaurant inside is beautifully decorated. The portions were large with an affordable price point.

Atmosphere is very good. Waiters were great. I had the prime rib, was good. Not great horseradish was non existing in flavor layered it in. I might as well used butter. Zero spice. Fries were soggy. Ate two. Waiter asked i wanted any thing else to replace them. Was so turned off. Drank coffee instead.

I got food poisoning from the lobster. It had so much of a topping I feel as though they might have been hiding something since why would a lobster tail that you dip into butter have a lot of toppings on it … anyway I was violently ill with stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea for 2 days. When I called to express my concerns the manager completely disregarded what I was telling her. She told me absolutely it wasn’t the lobster I would have known when I ate it. That is not always the case and with that much topping how would a person know if it was bad or not… the manager was very unprofessional and it was unacceptable how she handled my concern. We will never go back there and will let all our friends and family know about what happened at Maximes

We are so sad that MAXIMES is closing. My husband and I have been dining there since it originally opened as newlyweds. We have celebrated many milestones of memories as well as many other “just because we love the place dinners.” We always had amazing food and service at a great price. So sad we won’t be able to dine there one last time before they close due to high demand. There is no other restaurant in Winnipeg that comes close to Maxime’s who offers a friendly family environment and amazing food at a price anyone can afford. Wishing you a happy retirement. You will be missed.

A great experience. Our party chose this restaurant for a birthday dinner. Our server was kind, attentive, and explained the specials of the day. The menu was large and had many options. My prime rib was cooked perfectly. The toppings for the baked potato were brought to the table separately and served. It was a nice added touch. Big portions were a bonus! We will definitely return for a special occasion.

My first time here in this restaurant. I was really put off by my server and if I asked her a question then she kept snapping at me. I was very uncomfortable with her behavior. I ordered casear salad which had no cheese on it just few Romain lettuce with few croutons and lemon on the side. They taxed us on the tip part as well. Tip was added before taxes were calculated. I questioned her on it then she snapped I can remove the tip instead of answering my question. I am kind of glad they are closing down because if this is how they serve. The restaurant itself looks nice. The service was horrible.

We don’t usually go out as a family but when we do we expect high quality food and service. Our server was helpful but was constantly trying to upsell us with extras….the two pasta dishes and yam fries were underwhelming. My son’s burger was average at best. I mentioned that I didn’t enjoy my Alfredo dish and to my servers credit he took the my order of the bill. I’d give the food quality and dining experience 3/10. Didn’t get our monies worth and won’t be going back

It is a good place. The food was mediocre. Their signature is probably steak, but the food is a bit pricier than its counterparts; however, it is possible to find a better steak elsewhere. The lack of sauce on the steak and the hamburger taste was disappointing. I was more dissatisfied with their burger as it was dry and tasted like it was not worth the price, so it was not recommended. The service was satisfactory. Seaser Salad and appetizers were regular not much to expect differently. The atmosphere was satisfactory, and the furniture was comfortable. In general, 3.5 from 5 is a good point for the place.

Haven't been to this location in more then a few years, it was on A Saturday night, and a Jets game the same night, VERY Busy, we where celebrating birthdays...I had been thinking about the Prime Rib all week, someone actually told me not to order it, its not as good as the other steaks but I thought The Keg was known for there Prime Rib? I got it, it was underwhelming, my husbands steak looked a million times better. Oh well...all in all the evening was ok and very quick, I felt very rushed to eat and we couldn't just sit back and relax, didn't seem like anyone was waiting for our table, so I'm not sure why the rush. Id go back but maybe not until later on and not at 6pm for dinner. Free cake for your birthday is nice. @TheKeg, thanks for responding but its alright.

It is a good place with cool ambience. Not many people during the visit and the take aways are wholesome. The bread is breathtakingly great. It appears the happy hour(Friday- Sunday)is cheaper for dining in and take out. Though the female washroom is a bit off,this may not necessarily be the fault of the owners as it may be difficult to do cleaning every other minute. I also think there should be airfresher in both the male and female washroom .However, there should be a sign everywhere that it is customers responsibility to flush whatever down for a cleaner space. Aside that The Keg is a place to dine with families, friends and even business partners depending on the occasion.

Excellent steaks, just great food overall. Service was professional and timely which I was surprised by considering it was a Saturday night. Really have no complaints. This Keg location really knows how to nail down best of all aspects when it comes to a proper steakhouse experience. Also, note that they do have discounted parking next to the location so you don't have to look for roadside parking in downtown.

Amazing atmosphere and vibe, the food is also excellent and the service is great! Perfect place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

Had Luke as my server the other night. He made the night super amazing. He had the best charisma and knew how to make my family and I all laugh. The food was just unreal and everything came out in great time. Luke was amazing with frequent check ins to make sure we were all doing ok. Would definitely come back

This happened a little while ago, but I finally had some time to put my thoughts together. My partner and I went to this location for a casual dinner. Our server seemed quite busy that night — a bit more patience and attentiveness would’ve gone a long way. I ordered the prime rib and asked if the fried onions could be substituted or just removed since I’m not a fan of that side. The server flatly said no, which surprised me because I’ve made the same request at the McGillivray location before, and they accommodated it without any issue but I didn’t take it seriously. Another thing we noticed: my partner ordered the 14 oz prime rib, and I got the 10 oz, but the portions looked almost identical. We didn’t make a fuss about it at the time, but it was definitely noticeable. Overall, the food was good as always — no complaints there — but the service just wasn’t up to the usual. I mentioned this experience to some friends who’ve been long-time Keg regulars, and they encouraged me to share it since they felt that kind of service shouldn’t happen.

Review of 529 Wellington 529 Wellington offers a fantastic fine-dining experience in Winnipeg. The ambiance is elegant and warm, with the historic mansion setting adding a unique charm to the evening. The staff is attentive and friendly, making guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. Service is professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Portion sizes are good. The food is well-prepared, with perfectly cooked steaks and fresh, flavorful sides. Overall, 529 Wellington delivers on atmosphere, service, and food quality, making it a great choice for a special dining experience.

Beautiful experience! The service was lovely, I appreciated the birthday love. Food was well prepared and filling. Prices were surprisingly reasonable. Will definitely be back after this great first time experience! 🙏🏼

Our server Levi was wonderful; he was really attentive and made our night special his wine recommendation was perfect and his approach to our service was just what we wanted. We were both celebrating our birthdays & the restaurant went out of their way to hand write us birthday cards, and provide complimentary Champaign. The wood was amazing . Yes ; it’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for . Highly recommend for special occasions .

There really aren't enough words to describe how incredible my experience at this establishment was. Everyone, from the hostess staff to our incredible waiter Chris, along with the wine connoisseur Michael, were absolutely lovely and very comfortable to interact with. Sitting inside and interacting with everyone made me feel at home. The food - some of which were my first experiences of such unique dishes - was immaculate and very well portioned for how it was priced. I'm still at awe of how amazing my evening was and how it shattered all my expectations. It's an experience that anyone - local or tourist - should experience atleast once.

Excellent steak restaurant in Winnipeg. Highly recommend. Starters were throwing their punches, well worth the value. Excellent service. I had the beef Wellington and it was amazing. Desserts also good.

I was so excited to visit 529 as I had heard raving reviews about this elevated fine dining destination. I was invited and what a treat. The mansion is absolutely stunning. I learned of the heritage of the building and business and the stories made me love it even more. I had the salmon and it was gorgeous. Crispy skin, and delightfully cooked to perfection. Thanks team 529 for a delish experience. Cheers, Spicy Jan

Such a unique dining experience in a beautiful Victorian home. Service was fantastic, food was delicious and so were the cocktails! We ended up staying about 3 hours and devoured our meals only to go and explore the beautiful property afterwards. A MUST when visiting Winnipeg!

OSF is overall a really nice restaurant to come to with your family. They have the all included menu which means with your entree you also get the endless sourdough bread, soup or salad, and the ice-cream at the end! Very good prices and the food is exactly what u pay for, the atmosphere is very cool and authentic which is definitely different than most restaurants, i would definitely recommend coming by!

Haven't been back to the Old Spaghetti Factory in a number of years because I wasn't super impressed with the food the last time we were there (around 4 years ago), but definitely had any entirely different and pleasant experience yesterday! The service was great, the food was really good and the prices were very reasonable. Will be making it a point to go back since we enjoy wandering around the shops and also go for the Riverboat Cruise.

I recently visited The Old Spaghetti Factory and had an amazing experience! From the unlimited sourdough bread with garlic butter to the perfectly cooked pasta, everything was spot on. The flavors were rich and comforting, and the portions generous. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of charm—giving true Italian vibes. A must-visit for anyone who loves hearty food and cozy, feel-good dining!

Love their atmosphere, staff are friendly. A bit of a wait to get in. Their lunch specials are great! Reasonable price and food portions. Kids menu is great! Big portions as well. Best part is the unlimited fresh bread!!! Love their ice cream dessert too!!

Jacob was serving us, and he was very helpful. We had lasagna and chicken spaghetti, and both were delicious. The only thing that could have been better was the chicken — it could have had a bit more sauce or been juicier, as it was a bit too crispy. The lasagna was perfect, and I would definitely try it again! They also serve butter bread and ice cream with all the meals, which were both delicious.

The old spaghetti factory has always held a special place in my bones. Coming here as a kid was always the best part of visiting the forks. The food is very reasonably priced and you get a delicious full dinner experience with soup, bread and desert. The atmosphere is awesome and definitely super cozy. Coming here with family will definitely stay in my happy memories. My only complaint would have to be parking but it’s the forks after all. Bingus Bingus.

Food was good, everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything came out in a reasonable time. No real complaints about food. Service was amazing; I believe her name was Katie. She was quick to our table for drinks, extra bread with supper, checked in with us to see how the food was, and at the end she took the time to make sure our daughters peanut allergy would not be an issue. Making sure to not have a cross contamination problem. Food was good, but I would go back just for the service. Great start for our family evening out before the show.

My husband and I wanted to try out a new place for our anniversary and decided on Chop Steakhouse. The restaurant was beautiful and front staff were very welcoming. Our server, Morgan went above and beyond for us. She gave us great food suggestions and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. She was one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. Also, the food was delicious! Overall our entire time there was amazing, and we will definitely be coming back!

Amazing food, service, and overall hospitality. We were surprised at how perfect everything was. Sampled a beer before committing to it, the (incredible!) chef personally brought out our butcher board, and our server was professional and friendly. They all seemed to care about your dining experience and that you enjoy your visit. Expensive visit, but definitely worth it. It's a step above the rest. Many thanks!!

Took my 90 year old father today. We ordered the Butcher’s Board. Amazing, steak is not easy to eat for my dad but what we ordered was so tender and flavourful, my dad ate till his hearts content. Our server was Sam and he was so helpful, definitely took care of us. It was a lovely touch to have the chef come to our table. While reserving our table they listened to our requests to accommodate us. Yes it’s definitely a place I would recommend and will be coming back.

Amazing experience! The steak was cooked perfectly — tender and full of flavor. The burger was juicy and delicious, easily one of the best I’ve had. And the dessert was the perfect finish — sweet, rich, and beautifully served. Highly recommend this place for a great meal from start to finish!

Everyone from the smiling hostess to our exceptional waiter made our 51st anniversary dinner memorable. Complimentary sampler appetizers in recognition of our first visit to Chop were delicious. French onion soup, Caesar salad, & steak were flavourful but prime rib was disappointing. The complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary was delightfully decadent & delicious. The anniversary card signed by staff along with gift card for free appetizer for our next visit was truly appreciated. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!

Overall good experience! They came out with a free starter, a tuna tartare. We ordered the escargot (a bit too salty for us), lobster & steak, prime rib and the New York steak. Steaks were done really well and prime rib was nice and tender! Had the chimichurri s a steak topper but found it a bit too salty as well. The seasonal veggies were delicious though, loved them! It wasn’t too busy and service was good! Nothing too crazy, but everything was great. Portions were very generous as well. Will definitely come back to try out their other menu items.

The atmosphere here is very nice as long as you are not sitting beside a large group of people. Our first experience here was just that, and it was LOUD. On our second experience, I requested a more quiet location through my reservation and they accommodated us. I wish you would add calamari to your appetizer menu. Nothing ever really appeals to my partner and I on your current appetizer menu. Therefore, we usually end up ordering two orders of your community bread. Fantastic bread by the way! The whipped brown butter to go with it is superb! I had the steak and lobster main course and I was a little disappointed, the lobster was very tiny. I would recommend staying away from lobster for myself at least in the future. I think next time I will try shrimp or stick with the steak because I know it’s excellent. I really enjoy the steaks here, I love the crust. I love that it locks in the juices and makes the stake burst with flavour. There were a few hiccups during our visit the kitchen gave my birthday dessert to the wrong table so we had to wait a while. They graciously gave us a free appetizer for next time, but we won’t use it because unfortunately there’s a great dislike for mushrooms in my family. It’s too bad you don’t offer something other than mushrooms as your freebie. This is the second time we’ve gotten one of those anniversary cards and won’t be able to use it. I just have to note that the bathroom is gorgeous and clean! I find that most bathrooms in Winnipeg restaurants are not very nice but this one really is! We will be back!

It wasn’t my first time here, but it had been a couple of years. The moment I walked back in a few weeks ago, I was instantly reminded of how great this place is. You need to try the Caesar salad, best in Winnipeg and all the pizzas are top notch

The dining room has been closed for a while, so dine-in is pizza and salad only right now. Just enough time for dinner between a couple of appointments. Service was prompt and friendly.

As someone who’s eaten at every pizza spot in Winnipeg, including shortys, Tommy’s etc, I just recently ordered from Santa Ana the other day and omg, The cheese pizza is to die for, The sauce has a perfect balance of savory and sweet, The cheese blend is extremely high quality “and the amount of cheese is insane” the cheese pull was amazing, I also ordered the Mexican pizza and the toppings were heavy and overflowing with goodness, and the meat was seasoned to perfection, and the crust ? WAS to die for, I don’t usually write reviews but I just had to for this business, Highly recommend.!!!

Santa Ana catering is our go-to for birthdays, graduations and get togethers. Their lasagna, crisp Caesar salad and pizzas are Winnipeg’s best! Always fresh and delicious, and everything tastes homemade (but better!)

We used to really enjoy this place, but our recent experience was quite disappointing. We ordered two veggie pizzas for a small birthday get-together, and the quality was not up to the usual standard. The pizzas were undercooked, dry, and lacked flavor. It seemed like they may have been rushed, as the order was placed about 30 minutes before closing time. It was disheartening, especially for a special occasion. It would be appreciated if we could receive a refund or some form of compensation for this experience.

This restaurant is in a strip mall but don't let the ordinary facade trick into thinking this is an ordinary pizza joint. Located in the strip mall there is eay more parking than ever could be used. However there is a limited amount of seating inside so it would be prudent to reserve well ahead of the date you want. Friendly staff sat us quickly. They have comfortable seats in a lovely atmosphere. They have decent sized menu starters, pasta, pizzas and salads etc. They had 11" wood fired pizza and 15" stone baked pizza, which we could have had thin crust or the regular (we chose the regular). Both pizzas were cooked right, neither being doughy/undercooked nor charred/hard and dry. Our loaded pizzas were just right. The regular crust on the 15" was awesome. The crust wasn't greasy. The crust light and airy. It was cooked but neither doughy or tough. Even the edges didn't get hard or crusty, just the right amount of chew. The wood fired 11" was very good, the dough handled the toppings without getting soggy and the crust wasn't burned or dried out. The quality of the toppings were very tasty and the pizzas were very filling. Everything we saw that came out of the kitchen looked really tasty. Don't let the exterior fool you, this is one great restaurant. We will be back.

Santa Ana is one of our go to places for pizza and pasta as we always have a great experience and enjoy our meals. We also recently used Santa Ana to cater our wedding of 70 people- the team at Santa Ana was great to work with and our guests loved the selection of pizzas, pastas and salads. Definitely would recommend for date night, a night in or even a special event!

This Modern French restaurant offers an intriguing lineup of dishes blending traditional and contemporary flavors. Our meal started with the complimentary bread basket, which was warm, perfectly crusty, and simply delightful! We sampled a variety of dishes, including the escargots, duck confit pot stickers, schnitzel, burger, risotto, and crème brûlée. Overall, we had a good experience exploring new dishes. The service was decent, food and the ambiance was satisfactory. If you’re looking for an interesting take on French cuisine, try Inferno’s Bistro.

We had a wonderful experience and an absolutely delicious meal. The shrimp risotto was outstanding — creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The patio is beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere, and the service was warm and attentive throughout. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

We had the soup and salad. A kids fettuccine. Veil schnitzel. The schnitzel was good with fresh vegetables. The soup was large but it just tasted like it had a pile of thyme dumped into it and the vegetables were just tossed in raw into watery broth boiled and served. The cheesy toast on top of the soup had a weird sweet taste I couldn’t figure out but it didn’t seem to match the soup. The salad tasted like an orange soap and I think ingredients were missing. Didn’t eat most of our meals. Also like most patio restaurants lately they make rules about the larger table that don’t make sense. The best seats with shade and nicer tables were all 5 seats. We were 3 and the it was 20% capacity. Just let it go to make customers happy unless it’s busy. Also our table was super wobbly and this is a such small detail that can make customers uncomfortable during their visit that is so noticeable by all staff.

What a fantastic find. While walking with intentions of going to a place nearby, we noticed this cool little place with a patio. Very glad we stopped in! Buffalo frog legs, steak tartare, calamari - all incredible.

Update: went back- just as amazing as the first time, we got the calamari to share and wow!! So delicious- must get! Carlos was our server again, super attentive and funny! We brought my family and they absolutely loved it here! I had come here once before about 8 years ago and it is still just as great! Amazing service, we came and there was live music which was lovely - felt like we weren't in Winnipeg anymore. We were informed that they do live music wednesdays and thursdays when the weather is nice and on the patio but our server also recommended calling to check if that is something youre looking for. Our server was very attentive and brought us a second helping of bread which was delicious and so nice. The food was also amazing - and I love the strawberry pie here. We will 100% be coming back. Street parking wasn't too hard to find on a Friday evening.

Dinner was outstanding and our server was fantastic. We ordered the lamb shank and the beef shank special. Both were superb. The Lamb didn't have a hint of gameyness and the beef fell off the bone. The sides were all delicious, and the French onion soup was salty and so tasty! My old fashioned was made with bullet and was great with the meal. My only complaint was I didn't have room for the desserts which looked SO good!! The restaurant is small, bordering between cozy and crowded, but the outdoor patio looks like it will be spectacular when it opens in the spring. I will definitely be making a trip back!

Had our 45th wedding anniversary there today. We started with the pork spring rolls, which were fine. Then I had the ribs and my husband had the ribeye steak. They were both delicious. Carlos our waiter was energetic and very friendly who made our evening enjoyable.

This restaurant is absolutely stunning!✨✨✨✨✨ The service was truly exceptional, and the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The bathrooms were impeccably clean, and the spacious layout provided a peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal spot for large groups and events. The drinks menu is impressive, and the soup of the day was incredible and very filling. The halibut is a must-try if you get the chance. While the menu is geared towards high-end adult tastes, they also offer a children's menu, making it a great option for family outings or date nights. Although the prices are a bit on the higher side, it's understandable given the upscale quality. One thing to note is that parking is limited and not free, so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot and avoid a long walk, especially in heels.👠🥰

It’s a beautiful space, but the service was distracted, and the food was mixed. I was careful to order only a couple of items given the poor reviews, especially on how meat was cooked. We had the pounded cheddar, the hummus, the meatballs, and the hamburger with truffle fries. We had a flight of local beers as well and a couple of Stella Artois. All of these dishes were good. The pounded cheddar is such an appealing item, but the vinegar is really offputting. Quite frankly, I’m surprised it’s on the menu. It would take nothing to remove the vinegar from the recipe. The hummus was excellent. The meatballs were even better and the hamburger was really good.

Went to SMITH while in Winnipeg last week and enjoyed the experience. The food is excellent and the gnocchi was some of the best I've had. It was light and fluffy with a well balanced sauce and oyster mushrooms. The creme brulee was also excellent, not too sweet and with a good crust on top. Overall they have a good wine and cocktail list with decent selection. Our table was a large group and it was odd to have only one server bringing food out, eventually they had a second server help but it was after most meals had been sitting waiting a bit too long. Otherwise our server Jenna was excellent, very personable and did a good job managing a large group on her own. The space is cute with a bit of a mid-century hipster vibe. The downside is that it is very loud and the acoustics in the space are tough with high reverberation levels. Which makes speaking to or hearing those at your table very difficult. Some sound buffering materials on the ceiling would help immensely. The restaurant does close early some nights and was closing by 10pm our first night which meant we had to go elsewhere for supper due to a late flight.

The Smith is one of the only restaurants at the Forks that I would bring business clients to. Overall did not disappoint. The tuna appetizer was flavourful but very tiny, I would not order again. I had the Salmon special which was tasty, Brussels sprouts bang on and my guest said the risotto was cooked perfect. Service was great and only complaint was the martini I had. I asked for it dirty but they went overboard with the olive juice. I should have sent it back. If in the forks area and looking for a higher end restaurant, the Smith won’t disappoint.

Wonderful food and service. Tried breakfast here and the pancakes were some of the best I have ever had. Highly recommended as the location is prime, atmosphere is excellent and you get one of the best restaurant experiences here in all of Winnipeg.

Always a great breakfast. Chia seed pudding is amazing and a nice big bowl of fruit. Service was fantastic as Liberty is a gem of a human.

We had a babysitter to go out for a nice dinner, and although the restaurant was almost completely empty, we were sat immediately next to the one family with a screaming baby. The food was really pretty good, however we ordered an appetizer that just didn’t ever show up. The service was extremely slow (for example, we ordered a beer before we got food and it didn’t arrive until we were finished our dinner). Essentially although food was good, it just wasn’t a professionally done restaurant experience.

On a roadtrip from Ontario to Alberta and decided to stop by for lunch here. Service is excellent, hostess is super nice! I ordered the Chili Chicken as an appetizer and it is one of the best dishes I have eaten recently which is why its photo is the star of this review. Another dish I ordered is the Classic Steak, they got the temperature perfect and it had a crispy mashed potato side which was both interesting and delicious! This place is definitely a spot to go back and try other offerings and the interior is very classy and superb.

We tried Joey and it is always good. I have tried this restaurant in other cities as well they have good food. Server was very friendly and she let us have Guacamole before happy hours. Food was very good. One of my favourite restaurant. We had steak and it was delicious and fresh . Drinks were good as well. Thanks

Fantastic experience. We visited JOEY after walking out of a restaurant across the street for lack of service. To us, this was a very good move. JOEY was full that night but staff were quite accommodating while waiting for a seat. Our server visited the table almost immediately from sitting to take our order and the food was fresh and tasty. Our server was on her game with food and drink recommendations, topping off this great visit. The Steak w/ Lobster Spaghetti. Perfectly rare steak, cream sauce was full of flavour and lobster chunks. Highly recommended. Ahi Tuna Club. Grilled rare Ahi Tuna with bacon,, sweet pepper relish and onion rings. Server recommended. This sandwich had SO much flavour and not at all what we expected, we almost ordered a second to go. And the dish that brought us to JOEY, Crème Brûlée cheesecake. Light, fluffy and delicious. We will be back.

We had a lovely meal with friends celebrating their 47th anniversary. Emily went above and beyond to ensure we had a special evening. She even presented an anniversary desert! Thanks Emily, and the other staff, for a great evening.❤️

Always have a great time when I come to Joeys and our server, Jax, was incredible! So attentive and very friendly which made the evening so much more fun! Will definitely come again sometime!!

We will come back for sure. Noah did a good job as our server❤️ other staff are friendly too. Thank you for the complimentary cake for my birthday.

Waitress Nikole was very pleasant, very attentive & I enjoyed the service. Joey’s Restaurant is the place to go for a delicious dinner.

​Promenade Brasserie is a must-visit, and their breakfast is exceptional. The view of the Esplanade Riel Bridge from our window was the perfect way to start the morning (with a glass of their house rosé!). ​The food was incredible, especially the Chicken & Waffle. It was a truly perfect combination: wonderfully crunchy fried chicken, a sweet waffle, and a unique tangy pickle layer that made the dish absolutely stand out. The French Chicken Toast was also delicious—juicy, crunchy chicken topped with a perfectly cooked egg. ​Service was highly attentive. When a small error was made with our order, the staff quickly corrected it and even brought us the French Toast on the house! It was beautiful, with fresh fruit and the perfect amount of sweet syrup. ​We ended the meal with the Dessert Flight, a unique offering of four different sweets, perfectly rounded out with whipped cream. ​Verdict: Promenade Brasserie offers a top-tier dining experience with genuinely delicious food and impeccable service. Five stars!

The food and service here are outstanding! I was greeted with a warm smile the moment I walked in, and both Jay and my server, Kat, were very attentive. I was also blown away by the beautiful presentation of the dish. I had the French toast, which was so fluffy, and it paired well with all the toppings. The iced honey rosemary cobbler was really refreshing too! I truly enjoyed every second of it. I can’t wait to come back to try their other dishes!

Amazing food and service! Came for brunch and was surprised that it wasn't busy. The food was perfect and the presentation was beautiful. Staff are also super friendly! Chicken and waffles were probably the best I've ever heard. Highly reccomend. Will definitely be back!

Wow! A delicious culinary experience. As a visitor to Winnipeg I wanted a genuine taste of the province and I found it here. Locally sourced ingredients in delicious preparation. I had spiced corn to start and Venison Carpaccio was my selection and both were excellent. My only regret was that I was a party of one. If I had been with friends we might have expanded our culinary sampling to include the elk, bison and pickerel. Trying to persuade your mother-in-law that is not all strange culinary delights? You'll find fried chicken on the menu. But as a foodie I can't say enough about the quality, the value, but most of all the flavour. Very friendly staff as a bonus. My favorite stop in Winnipeg.

Found this gem while driving across Canada. Unique menu, including Métis-inspired dishes. Amazing food, excellent and attentive service, and one of the best views of Winnipeg from their patio. Smoked trout was incredible, both as eggs Benedict (on bannock) and with herb ricotta spread, capers, pickled shallots and lemon on fry bread. Walking distance from The Forks.

We had a great experience here. The staff were super friendly and allowed us enough time to go through the menu. The service was quick and we were taken care of very well. Everything was amazing and we had a good talk to the table next to us❤️ I’ll def come back when Im in town again

I'm not sure what is better here. The food or the amazingly friendly service. Our son in law recommended the this restaurant as well as their eggs benedict. Arguably the best in the city with a bannock base and the option of fresh sausage made with sage and Saskatoons. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent beer selection and tasty shrimp appetizer. The Peach Tea Blonde was outstanding. The Boss Burger was massive, definitely not for the faint of heart. Great service and a welcoming atmosphere. You can also grab some of their select beers to-go along with a decent range of merchandise.

I tried two of their burgers — the Classy Viking and the Brazen Butter Burger. Both were flavorful and satisfying. The quality was good though I found the prices a bit on the higher side for what you get. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly. A special shout-out to our waitress, who was very attentive and helpful, though I regret not catching her name. The only downside was the mojito I initially received. The mint leaves were not fresh — they looked wilted and lacked flavor, as shown in the photos. I asked for a replacement, and thankfully, the second one came with fresh mint and tasted much better.

Julia our bartender was amazing. She was attentive and very knowledgeable on the products!!! Thank you Julia Oh the food…. We got the pork belly tacos and a side salad… so delicious!! Recommend getting ranch on the side because the ranch at Brazen is off the charts. 🤤 We were still hungry so got the happy hour pretzel for desert and finished every bite! Must visit!

Stopped for supper in the way to a concert. The parking was a bit difficult as most spots were full but found the last one. We were sat right away without a reservation. Our waitress came right away and even went out of her way to check and see if the chicken could be without the Cajun spice. Service was awesome and food was so good! Very friendly and relaxing environment. 100 percent recommend!!

Alright if you are into spicy and savoury food then this is the place for you ! My god was the food amazing and the service was really great ! Our server Madalynn was very sweet and friendly so kudos to her ! My mom got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and I got the Blackened Maple Chicken and both the dishes tasted amazing ! The blackened chicken was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet with veggies and sauces and the Nashville Sandwich was another level of deliciousness ! This is a great place to come with a group of friends who are foodies because there are tons of different options for everyone’s preferences. Don’t worry we will be back for more !!

Nice atmosphere and clean restaurant. Food is mediocre and very pricy for what you get. $46 for three strips of brisket and 4 bones of ribs. Beer is good and I’d go back for drinks, maybe apps, but not dinner.

beer: amazing service: amazing atmosphere: amazing food: hit or miss got the ASADO STEAK SANDWICH for $29 it was a piece of bread with a well done piece of steak on it. this is a picture of THE MIDDLE of the steak. the taste of burnt stuck around in my mouth for hours and I had to chew for days. never have I ever had a drier piece of meat. A redeemer is my partner got a burger and it was pretty good. I would say the menu leans on the pricier side with smaller portions. It feels like they are aiming for high end but don't have the quality to back it up. The beer on the other hand is fantastic. good range and flavors. And finally the staff were very attentive, and nice.

One of the best service experiences I have had in Winnipeg, and I dine in many unique locations. Great wine, beer and menu items. They welcomed our table of three, which grew to four and with ease to accommodate us. Thank you Cafe Carlo for letting old friends catch up with some great eats! Cheers, Spicy Jan

If you’re looking for a solid spot for a date night or a small celebration, Cafe Carlo is a great pick. The place has a cozy vibe that feels like a hidden gem. The food was delicious and the service was super friendly and helpful. I’d definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a chill but elevated dining experience.

6 months ago I wrote a review on Cafe Carlo, below, today I'm pleased to announce they're awesome! Food is consistently good and so is the service, just a little too tiny for my liking. Overall this place is a five-star experience, I'll continue to dine at CC and keep you posted :). The following is my old review from 6 months ago: I'm not fully convinced this is a five-star joint, yet! I've ate here four times in the past three months and each time they miss something. First off, street parking is busy but manageable, entering is not fully welcoming due to its congestion and semi attentive staff, and if you have a coat, no place to hang it. One of the main issues here is its size to table ratio, if you’re not careful walking in you’ll take out the couple seated just inside the entrance, in general, close quarters. Service is also hit or miss, one server was all around perfect, while another had sprinkles of attitude and arrogance, it left a bad taste. Price is appropriate for what’s offered, you can have a salad and chowder and walk away unscathed or dig into the rack of lamb or seafood cannelloni and you can expect 40-70 bucks a plate, appropriate. The food! If Carlo is on his game, you won’t be disappointed, however, if he’s having a crap day you will be. On a good day five stars all around, this is why CC has a great reputation, when their on, it’s amazing. Seafood Cannelloni on a Monday was over cooked and unfresh, on a Friday, spectacular! Consistency is what’s missing, maintaining a high standard across the board is needed. Folks can’t afford to treat themselves and have a subpar experience, they won’t come back. CC has an opportunity to improve guests experience making it a must. I can’t bring myself to give it a 5, it’s somewhere between 3 and 4. I’m going to keep going back and I’ll update my review if warranted, good luck CC!

Went here lastnight for my friends bday, and the food was so amazing. 5 of us girls we all got different pasta dishes and each of them were so full of flavour and sooo delicious. It’s a little pricey for pasta but so worth it. I already can’t wait to go back here and try some appetizers! Our server was also so funny and kind!

Went there the other night. The food was amazing and our server, Jessi i think her name was; best server you could ask for. Super friendly and could answer anything regarding the food and drinks.

We discovered this place about 5 years ago and since then we have dined here close to 25 times. Birthdays, anniversaries, or just because we're missing it. The food is delicious and is consistently at a very high quality and identical each time. The mocktails are great and have quality ingredients for a fair price. The appetizers are great and honestly can't go wrong with any of them. The steak bites and fried chicken are great. I have had every dinner option on the menu and enjoy them all. Desserts are amazing as well. We love Cafe Carlo!

A Rare Gem in the City Carlo Cafe is a delightful mix of a family restaurant, a relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food. Here's what we ordered: Calamari - 4/5: A bit too oily, but overall, not bad. Crunchy Shrimps - 5/5: Perfect crust and sauce. Bruschetta - 5/5: Tender with a well-balanced taste. Seafood Chowder - 5/5: The sweetness from clams and scallops, combined with a thick and rich broth, made this dish outstanding. Seafood Cannelloni - 6/5: This was the highlight for both me and my wife. A generous portion of protein, perfectly cooked homemade pasta stuffed with cheese, herbs, and shrimp. The balance of dough and stuffing was spot on. The thick and tasty gravy paired with a deliciously grilled lobster tail made it exceptional. We would definitely come again. Note: Unfortunately, our photos didn't turn out as well as we hoped.

The BDI is always fantastic. I try to go whenever I visit Winnipeg. I love the Goog Special but they have so many other great ice cream dishes. They give you a lot of ice-cream too. Life is short. Go to the BDI!

The quality of the ice-cream was below average. In fact, I really wouldn't recommend it. This place caters to the person who wants to eat a disgusting amount of ice-cream for a reasonable price and gives the consumer power to customize gargantuan monstrosities. However, behind the gimmickry of topping choice, the product is lack-lustre. The location is beautiful. There are no washrooms or indoor seating. There is a fair amount of parking. The line moves quickly. The staff are chipper. The place had lots of people meeting up, mingling and mulling about. Pleasant atmosphere.

One of the things that really stood out to me was the serving size — it was incredibly generous. Whether you’re getting a classic cone or one of their specialty sundaes, you definitely get your money’s worth. It’s perfect for sharing, or if you have a big sweet tooth, even better to enjoy all on your own. The portions are satisfying without feeling over-the-top, and it adds to the overall value of the experience. You can tell they care about giving their customers a treat that feels both indulgent and worth every cent

Awesome ice cream, all sorts of different kinds that you can't really find at many other places. (The picture of the ice cream below is the parfait). Depending on what ice cream you order, they put in actual fruit, and it's pretty affordable (as far as fruit in ice cream goes). Really long line up though, so expect a while before being served. Would totally go again!

Stopped by BDI on a beautiful evening after a relaxing motorcycle ride, looking for a sweet treat—and it hit the spot. The lineup was long (as it usually is on a nice day), and I’ll admit, some people might drive by when they see it. But trust me—don’t. It’s absolutely worth the wait. Despite the crowd, the line moves fairly quickly, and the staff keeps things running smoothly. I ordered a medium vanilla cone, chocolate-dipped and rolled in nuts—delicious, but huge! I’ll probably go for a small next time, just to save room. I don’t make it out here often, but every visit reminds me why BDI is such a beloved Winnipeg landmark. Great treats, classic vibe, and a staple of summer in the city.

A classic spot for a reason. The Honey and cinnamon milkshake is my absolute fave. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever had. For a place seemingly run by a bunch of teenagers, it’s pretty smooth. Sometimes there’s only one window open and a few kids in the back which can make the line take a while, and parking is often bananas.

A Winnipeg institution for all things creamy and delicious. I always make a pilgrimage to BDI whenever I’m back in the city. Creamy soft serve, novelties crafted to perfection, and quick and efficient staff. In my recollection they were cash only, but now appear to accept all manner of cards. My personal go-to is the mighty Saltzberg, but on your first trip, I’d advise a Goog. Great place for a walk thereafter, too.

While being rerouted, we had to stay in Winnipeg. After checking in the hotel, we went to the restaurant to dine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and both the hostesses Nicole and Ally were superb. Very pleasant and friendly and accommodating for us. Being a vegetarian can be a problem but not with these two ladies. They took our dining experience to another level. I thank them from the bottom of my heart and wish all the good luck. Keep up the great work ladies. Thank you on e more.

It was our party's first time at The Merchant Kitchen. The service was attentive and our server was very genuine. The menu was a little on the smaller side but presented some interesting options. Our server explained the menu and mentioned that the food was served family style. Our party decided on purchasing individual appetizers and we decided on the Grilled Corn. The corn was seasoned well, however, the tortilla chips lacked flavour, almost as if they were store-bought. The menu was priced on the higher side, although justifiable, as it was a more classier atmosphere.

Merchant Kitchen describes the food as Asian Fusion but to me it’s more in line with Latin/South American along with Asian dishes. Best of both worlds yet oddly confusing 😆. Love the vibe of the place and the bar. Love me some good cocktails. Limited cocktail menu but will make whatever your heart desires. Aston Margarita is a solid classic margarita. A polarizing cocktail is the Cafe Lima. If you like it and finish it, you need your picture posted at the bar 😂. Your palate is unique. Service was fantastic and attentive for a busy night. Recommend as a great place pre-event downtown.

The food was good, we had wings which were delicious. We also tried the fried rice, the noodles and the tacos. Everything was good, the tacos are a bit expensive for the quantity but it was good. We also tried chocolat tart and lime tart, both were delicious. The wine is super expensive , good cocktails a bit expensive too. Overall a good experience. But the place is very noisy which makes it hard to have a discussion with everyone at the table. 100 bucks for 1 cocktail, 1 beer, 1 glass 6oz wine, noodles, tacos and 1 dessert, is a bir pricey ( price for 2 ). I'd still recommand, not sure I would go back because of the noise.

We went with a big group of friends and got the buffet menu for $35. Food was okay and the portion size was fair too. After finishing our food I did a little calculation and the buffet menu we tried - if we were to order them individually would have been cheaper than the buffet? Not sure if it was a good deal since the buffet is not unlimited amount of food. Drink menu is good and they have quite a lot of tequila and mezcal shots/sips. Good place to go with friends but price wasn't really reasonable. The Korean chicken is nothing close to a korean chicken at all. Sauces were not close to Korean style either.

Heard great things about this restaurant but found it to be somewhat average. Corn with nachos tasted like canned corn with some cheese on top. Korean chicken was basic fried chicken and nothing more. Dandan noodles were good again but nothing special except sauce was tasty. After hearing good reviews I was disappointed and found it pricey for what you received. Pleasant service

Great drinks! The Non alcoholic margaritas are very good and the regular ones are a refreshing treat! Dan dan noodles were very tasty not too spicy. Tacos were good as well, mild but good. Really great place to grab a bite before the concert or game
