The best in the Exchange

1. 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 »
2. 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 »
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. Parlour Coffee
Let me preface by saying that I am no coffee connoisseur but I do know when I taste something good. LOL. Located on Main Street between the Woodbine Hotel (sketchy hotel) and Berns & Black Salon (posh salon & spa), this is supposedly Winnipeg's first…More »
5. Hilary Druxman Design
I have received several gifts from this jewellery shop and really enjoy the pieces from here. The items here are handcrafted with simple modern designs that are well-priced. Most of the pieces are sterling silver or 18K gold and there are pieces that…More »
6. U.N. Luggage
Good place for quality luggage, business cases, laptop cases and handbags, wallets as well as some travel gear/accessories. I bought a beautiful leather Kenneth Cole business case here as a gift - it was very well received because it was so much more…More »
7. Toad Hall Toys
Great toy store alternative to going to Toys 'r Us. This place has a lot of cute toys for kids and even some adults. It's more of an old school toy store, you won't really find Barbies or video games there but there's a lot of offerings that kids…More »
8. Cake-Ology
This tiny little bakery is near the Line Up restaurant in the Exchange District. It's easy to miss this place because it doesn't stand out too much and it just opened a few weeks ago. It's nice to see all these little boutique bakeries/cupcake shops…More »
9. Sensi Wine Lounge
I love the vibe here. It's cool yet relaxed, sophisticated but not pretentious, attributes that are difficult to attain in a lounge. This is definitely a place you should take your out of town guests to and show them that Winnipeg is not just a place…More »

I'm glad the owner of Tre Visi has taken over the second floor of the same building of his… Read more »
10. White Star Diner
I've had their Philly Cheeseburger ($6.50) which was good but I didn't love it. Maybe the toppings kind of took away from the classic burger flavours? Anyhow, I had their cheeseburger ($6.10) recently and wow was that good! It is a good size burger…More »

Delish! I finally tried White Star Diner's infamous "Pulled Pork n' Slaw" ($5.25) sandwich. I had… Read more »
11. Peasant Cookery
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 »

Well, the former "Oui Bistro & Wine Bar" has finally converted from French bistro to its new concept… Read more »
12. 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 »
13. Hermanos Restaurant and Wine Bar
Well, since my 2009 review, when Hermanos first opened, I have been here many times over for lunches, drinks and dinners. I have to say that they are definitely getting better with time. I think changing chefs a few times has helped as well. First…More »

So I've gone back a few more times considering that my review was when they were only open for a… Read more »
14. 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 »
15. All City Modern Convenience
A quirky new convenience store in the Exchange that sells individually packaged toilet paper, butter, mayo, onions, potatoes, spam, candy/chocolate, bread...etc. The venue is a little sparse in items provided considering the amount of space…More »
16. Smoke's Poutinerie
I've been dying to try this place ever since I saw their sign saying opening soon back in the winter. Well, they finally opened on May 31 after some delays. I am in the area a lot and every time I pass by, the line is constantly lined out the door!…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) |
