Well, I’m gonna try to get this community going! It may be just me talking to myself for a while.
Anyway, from Winnipeg I really like St. James Burger, Santa Lucia Pizza (I think this is local), Baked Expectations, and Oh Doughnuts! Outside of Winnipeg, I like Big Smoak in Steinbach, Joe Beeverz in Brandon, Fundars in Lundar (this might not exist anymore), Hespelers in Niverville, and my family used to love Barney Gargles in Selkirk although I think the pandemic killed it.
Post some of your favorite spots!
Cafe Dario was good but he didn’t open after the pandemic. Pine ridge hollow is good, specially their dessert. Sub zero is a good ice cream place. Grand donut/bakery is a really good Vietnamese Restaurant, they have good donut but we go there for bunmi(Vietnamese sub). Edit: Pho Kim Toung is the best and consistent pho in the city.
I’ve heard good things about Grand donut, but haven’t been there yet. Soon! Sub zero is fantastic ice cream too, forgot about it!
Great recommendations! I tried to like St James Burgers & their cinnamon fries but they just weirded me out, haha. I know a lot of people love them. The burger was good though!
We have been enjoying Charlie Burgers / 9 Below for tasty homemade-ish burgers and they have really good ice cream too. Speaking of good ice cream, we often stop at L&J’s in Treherne when we’re out in that area.
We try to go to a few Goldeyes games every year and I keep meaning to try Big Smoak there, but I haven’t yet. Not sure how it compares to their actual location though.
Been to Joe Beeverz a few times, and it was always really good. My wife isn’t supposed to have potatoes anymore so we haven’t been in a while.
We enjoy Santa Lucia everyone now and then, and i’m pretty sure it’s manitoba-based. We frequently get The Elm pizza too, because it’s pretty close & consistently tasty. Also enjoy Red Ember on occasion too.
Oh Doughnuts is amazing too!
I thought I had more places to add but my brain apparently isn’t working right now. I’ll update this if I think of any more!
The Airliner in Beausejour.
Best burgers I’ve had in a very long time. Ad reasonably pried, too.
Ooo intriguing
My family have been eating at East India Company (or its predecessors run by the same family) since the 70s.
If it’s more convenient, you can get very similar food at Ivory; they poached EIC’s chef many many years ago. Both establishments seem to be thriving, because it is amazing food.
In the same vein, I quite like Royal Paan on McPhillips north of Leila - a bit mean the next day though (ie. spicy). All veggie stuff and many tasty street food type snacks.
