Do people in Winnipeg realize how lucky they are in regards to breakfast foods? I hope so. Because after eating here, I was both amazed and sad. Sad because I can't eat this breakfast in Vancouver.

The menu had a great selection! And I think I recall…More »

Finally! I meant to come here on my last trip to the Peg, and finally got to this time.

I went with one of the daily specials - a veggie peanut stew with brown rice and a side salad!

The stew was great, it had chick peas, broccoli, zucchini, tomato and…More »

A vegetarian pub? WHAT? I love Winnipeg.

Some pals and I came here (some of us just for the poutine) last night and I could not believe the menu. Everything looked so tasty. I had a hard time deciding but ended up with the French Onion Soup and the…More »

Boon Burger is another restaurant I'd been excited to visit in Winnipeg. I love the amount of vegan/vegetarian establishments this city has to offer!

I decided to go with the Thanksgiving burger with a poutine on the side. The poutine was covered in…More »

I was here with a group of friends a few days ago and one of the best breakfasts for dinner EVER.

I ordered the iced tea because they didn't have ginger ale (??) and the menu said they brew it themselves. It was pretty good! Not too sweet and I could…More »

LOVE. I'm visiting from Vancouver and I've been here twice this week already. The yellow tofu curry is to die for. I also tried the pad thai and pad see ew with tofu and both of those were delicious. Nothing comes close to beating that yellow curry…More »

I had the most amazing cheesecake I've ever tried here. It kicked the ass of the cheesecake in Vancouver at Trees Organic Cafe where it's voted best in the city.

I just went with the Strawberry, and holy freaking crap. HOW IS THE CRUST SO GOOD? The…More »

Holy shit. I had the best milkshake EVER here.

I got the Mocha one, and my friend got Chocolate Mint. Both were so good.  He made them in the cutest old fashioned milkshake mixers!

I keep dreaming about this milkshake. I'm almost considering flying…More »

Some friends and I stopped in to have a few drinks before seeing a movie the other week. I decided I wasn't into the movie idea, so I stayed behind and got incredibly drunk by myself and it was awesome.

The place was pretty much dead because it was…More »

Woah, things have changed at this airport since last year!

Everything looks all shiny and clean and new! And they put in a Stella's upstairs, which is great.

The domestic departures area seems completely redone with a variety of restaurants and a few…More »

I visited the WAG at the end of September to check out the European Renaissance and Baroque art exhibit.

The gallery itself seemed pretty dead, and there wasn't a whole lot to see. Some of the exhibits were not open to the public yet, so I guess we…More »

This is a neat little restaurant.. I've never dined in a bookstore before.

Some friends had a craving for the sweet potato perogies so we made the trek over. Apparently they were amazing just like last time.

Oh geez. I was expecting much more than this. My friends and I still had a really good time, but mostly because we were being complete jackasses.

It was pretty empty because we went on a Tuesday afternoon. I don't just mean people. There were almost…More »

Because it was literally -right- outside my friend's apartment, this was our chosen breakfast spot the other morning.

It was dead, which wasn't unusual for a weekday morning. Our server showed us the specials menu and I decided to go with 2 eggs,…More »
