 1. Segovia Tapas Bar and Restaurant

484 Stradbrook Ave
Winnipeg, MB R3L
(204) 477-6500

Categories: Spanish, Tapas Bars

5.0 star rating
  Update - 1/19/2011

Love, love, love this place! The only thing I don't like is the no reservation policy they have. It's such a popular place that it can be a long wait to get in on some nights. But I think it's worth it and have eaten here about half a dozen times…More »

Not sure why I've never reviewed this place as I've enjoyed very good meals here for several years. It's the sister restaurant to the pricier Amici's located on the second floor. This main floor restaurant is quite casual and has a great menu of…More »

Category: Latin American

5.0 star rating
  Update - 4/30/2011

I love Cafe Dario's 5 course dinner (see previous review) and I have to say their lunch is also delicious! There was a lot of entrees to choose from with most of the dishes between $12-$18, including the soup of the day and bread. You can get a pre…More »

Category: French

4.0 star rating
  Update - 5/4/2010

Alright, I have to admit that their coup of Chef Bagshaw (formerly of Pizzeria Gusto) piqued my interest to try Resto Gare again. So kudos to management for using him as a draw. The restaurant was packed, which was different from my previous…More »

4.0 star rating
  Update - 10/3/2011

Gone from the Royal Albert location (due to the ongoing water main break issue that occurred in early summer '11) Deseo finally relocated in a new spot since early September. They've taken over the space that was home to the short lived Champa Bistro…More »

  10/4/2009 First to Review

Another one of my fav Vietnamese spots! I love the pho here! The "pho tai" (#27 on the menu) is rare beef that's cooked in the hot soup filled with thin rice noodles.

I love the "Banh Hoi Thit Heo Nuong" (#13) which is charbroiled pork served with…More »

(204) 487-4440

4.0 star rating
  1/25/2012

This place expanded into the space next door adding a lot more seating but it's still a long wait on a Saturday night! It's a very popular casual neighbourhood bistro where a wait of 45 mins and upwards is very much guaranteed on the weekends.…More »

  Update - 6/30/2011

I went back to Peasant recently for a lunch and dinner to see if the place has redeemed itself from the not so great meal I had when they first opened almost a year ago. First off, I'll start off with the negatives and move into the good stuff. The…More »

  8/6/2011 First to Review

Carbone (pronounced "car-bone-nay" with an Italian flair!) is the new pizza place in town...though this one has a unique concept as it's the only one that uses a coal fire oven. It also claims to be the only coal fired pizza in Canada - maybe? Coal…More »

So to clear up some info here....the original "Lao Thai" which started on Selkirk Avenue and then moved to the St. Anne's location for the last few years has now moved back to Selkirk Avenue (confused yet?). LOL. So the one on 763 Selkirk Avenue is…More »

  Update - 5/22/2011

The restaurant is no longer operated by the original owners of Tavern in the Park. Not sure what happened there but it's under new management. But at least I can say that the restaurant and the food menu hasn't changed too much since their departure.…More »

Categories: Caterers, Indian

4.0 star rating

A great place for Indian Food in Winnipeg in a beautifully decorated setting. I love the smell of all the aromatic spices that draw me in when I am within 10 feet of the front door. It's always a gluttonous feast here.

There's a daily lunch and dinner…More »

A lovely korean owned sushi restaurant that sits in the parking lot of the Kenaston big box stores across from the Walmart. It's a narrow two level restaurant colored in bright green and dark woods. The bottom floor is where the kitchen and sushi…More »

I've been here many times over the past few years and it has always been a consistent restaurant that provides warm, friendly service and good food.

4.0 star rating
  8/16/2009 First to Review

I love the pho here - it's very fragrant and definitely has a hint more star anise in its broth compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. It is one of my favourite places for pho (along with Phuong Nam).

Another reason I love this place is the iced…More »

Brunch/Breakfast (8)

Here's my list for yummy brunch/breakfast places (in no particular order):

Favourite Bakeries! (12)

I bake a lot even though I don't have a real sweet tooth. I just like to share treats with family and friends. I love finding cute little bakeries for those times when I can't make something from scratch...so here's my list so far.

Winnipeg...casual eats (13)

Favourite Ethnic Restaurants (18)

I know...what's really an ethnic restaurant, espeically since sushi, Vietnamese etc are so popular and ubiquitous. Essentially, I excluded places where you can get steak/potatoes, pastas and pizzas.

Steals! Great value and good eats! (11)

I'd like to call it "cheap eats" - the food quality is by no ways cheap but the prices are great here!

Winnipeg's Vegetarian/Vegan Options (12)

Here are some places that are either completely vegan/vegetarian and/or offer vegan options.

Great Casual Downtown Lunch Spots (18)

Favourite Indian Restaurants (5)
