ciao! reviews
the menu, here the earthy vegetable
is served as crispy chips, presented
bountifully on a wooden board
alongside a creamy and tangy goat
cheese dip. Beets' sweet, earthy fla-
vour (and vibrant colour) also perks
up the risotto that accompanies an
entree of steelhead trout, which flakes
into rosy petals at the touch of a fork.
Perogies are a long time staple for
Winnipeggers, and the addition of
a rich wild mushroom filling and a
creamy dill-laced sauce is welcomed
by even the most ardent perogy
purist. The dumplings are plated in a
row, each set atop a crunchy cucum-
ber coin.
These staples of Manitoba eating
are joined by more cutting edge
additions as well. Organic camelina
oil, originating in province, is used
for cooking and dressing salads.
Like flax, a hearty seed that can
withstand, even thrive, in the prai-
rie climate, camelina is cold pressed
into a wonder oil that is dazzling
health nuts with its high smoke
point (meaning it can be used for
cooking without breaking down its
nutritional value) and abundance of
omega-3 and vitamin E. Of course,
these health facts are secondary
when scarfing down a juicy, sous vide
chicken dressed in the oil—sopping
up every bit of the accompanying
golden lemon honey butter sauce is
much more pressing.
Gorgeous desserts are a good
way to stave off leaving the peace-
ful atmosphere of the sun-dappled
porch. Attention to every detail leads
to incorporating Manitoba honey
into a cheesecake and making silky
lemon curd, draped over a frozen
stack of meringue, in house. There
are other ways to stretch out a stay,
too, by perusing shelves of cute gifts
at the attached boutique and expan-
sive furniture store, or feeding the
goats outside.
