WORLD FOOD
Reflecting Winnipeg’s
ethnocultural diversity, this
category represents our top
choices from the many small,
primarily family‑run restaurants
in town. The decor at most
of these is simple and/or the
location is out of the way.
However, each restaurant
represents food from the
owner’s culture, with sometimes
astonishingly low prices that
reflect the simplicity of the
service and surroundings, not
the quality of the food.
