1. Kay's Delicatessen
So yummy! I am really falling more in love with this place with each visit. I loved the jicama salad, then I fell in love with the triple decker grilled cheese. This time it was the "Greek Style Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper" ($7.25). There is no…More »

This deli is located about a block west of the Red River College's downtown campus. It's a cute… Read more »
2. News Cafe
I am not sure when they started doing business on Sunday but I am glad they have! I have always enjoyed my weekday lunches here so it's great that they are open for Sunday. It provides a solid Sunday alternative to the other brunch haunts around…More »

Does the Winnipeg Free Press' foray into dining mean that Marion Warhoft will review this place?… Read more »
3. The Underground Cafe
The names speaks for itself, it truly is "underground" as it's located in the basement level of the 70 Arthur building (immediately on your left as you walk in). It's a rather dark interior with graffiti art all around with an open kitchen towards…More »
4. Pollo Volante
This place is the epitome of don't judge a book by its cover. Most people would probably just think it's a divey bar (Times Changed High and Lonseome Club), but during the daytime and early evening, it's "Pollo Volante" tex-mex cantina. There's…More »
5. Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company & Deli
Mmmmmmm I love their buttery, flaky croissants here! Delicious breads and pastries here! They also serve up half sandwiches to-go for about $2.90 - lots of vegetarian choices and egg salad as well. There are some small containers of orzo salads and…More »

Great local bakery! They make such delicious multigrain breads and the best croissants! The… Read more »
6. Oscar's Deli
The location is a bit hidden on Hargrave on the main floor of an office building. The decor is nothing interesting but the food and service are great! They have various daily specials. I like the Thursday special - clubhouse with half dill for $7.95.…More »
7. The Ground Floor Urban Diner
This place has a great lunch buffet for $10.99. They have changing daily themes that provides, bread, 4 cold dishes, soup, 4 hot dishes and mini desserts. Mon - Ukranian, Wed - Italian and Fri - Asian with Tues/Thurs being chef's choice. I've had…More »

This is the new revamped restaurant located in Place Louis Riel. The renovated restaurant definitely… Read more »
8. El Torrito Taco Truck
Winnipeg is about 5 years behind in the food truck trend that has taken over major Canadian and U.S. cities. I salivate whenever I see some food truck being featured on the Food Network and wonder why we can't amazing food trucks that serve beyond…More »
9. The Fyxx Espresso Bar - CLOSED
It's a good lunch place to go to if you work downtown - they also have a location at Broadway & Donald. Lot of sandwiches to choose from with a side soup or salad.
They use fresh ingredients and real chicken (not like the stuff you get at subway). One…More »
10. Samurai Restaurant
I ate here when it first opened a few years back but I didn't have the best meal so I am glad I came back because I think I might be doing more sushi lunches here.They have a fair number of lunch combos and bento box meals that start from $9.50 to…More »
11. Mondragon Bookstore & Coffee House
Well I've eaten at Mondragon three times in total now. I've had the "starving courier" which is organic beans, cooked with tomatoes and hand ground spices, organic brown rice served with organic corn chips, lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream…More »

Well, I finally made my way up to Mondragon after passing by this place for so many years. Yes,… Read more »
12. The Fyxx
It's a nice sunny spot meeting spot for lunch since it's located at the corner of Broadway and Donald. There's free wi-fi, smattering of people having light conversation and people working on their laptops. You order and pay first, then the staff…More »
13. Marcello's Market & Deli
It took a while but this place finally opened! I like their concept - fresh, healthy food for office workers. Downtown Winnipeg seems to be lacking in this area so it's a nice change to see this chain open up and provide better healthier options…More »
14. Exchange Cafe
Discovered a great little cafe in the Exchange District that serves delicious paninis. The Exchange Cafe is a bit tucked away - it's on the East side of Rorie Street. The space is very similar to most buildings in that area, exposed brick, large…More »
15. Paragon Restaurant & Bar
I haven't been to Paragon in several years. It was always a nice lunch and lounge place, albeit a bit on the subdued side. It's attached to the Carlton Inn, across from the Convention Centre. The place doesn't look like much since it blends in with…More »
16. Casa Burrito
The smoky flank steak with salsa verde is a spicy and flavourful combination! So yum! It's filled with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, red onions, green peppers. You really taste the smokiness of the cumin, chilli and chipotle adobo spices in the…More »
17. The Line Up
Tiny place in the Exchange with barely any seating other than the patio area. They call themselves the "healthy fast food" place since they use fresh ingredients, extra lean meats and are virtually trans fat free (not sure what that means). They…More »
18. The Line Up
This one is located at City Place (on the main level, near the Boston Pizza). It's quite spacious with lots of tables to dine in at. They serve cinnamon buns from Tall Grass Prairie and even sweets from Cakeology now.
I really enjoy their noodles -…More »
