ciao! / oct/nov / two thousand sixteen
SITTING PRETTY
Cibo's location within a former pumphouse gives it a beautiful view
looking out over the water. Grabbing a snack at the Assiniboine Park Zoo
means watching polar bears play from a seat at the Tundra Grill.
The rotating dining room at Prairie 360 is the perfect place to watch
the sun set. Spending a restful day at Thermëa includes donning
a robe for dinner at Restö. The beautiful food at Era Bistro is equalled by
the Canadian Museum for Human Rights' stunning architecture.
Dining in Resto Gare's refurbished train car is a step back in time.
Peaceful views of the lake make Buffalo Stone Café at FortWhyte Alive
feel like a wilderness retreat inside city limits. Lunching at Table at the
Winnipeg Art Gallery offers a view of the rooftop sculpture garden alongside exhibit-inspired edible art. Gates on Roblin's bucolic setting turns
this former country estate into one of the city's most sophisticated dining
rooms. Pineridge Hollow's rustic style and natural setting makes the
perfect backdrop for fresh regional ingredients. River views are best paired
with a giant apple pancake from The Pancake House at The Forks.
LOADS OF LOAVES
Living in a bread basket province
means an abundance of multiculti
local loaves. Slices made with
fresh ground flour from Tall Grass
Prairie Bakery, City Bread rye,
and Lisbon Bakery's Portuguese
water bread are all winners.
HEALTHY...ISH
We can't get enough of the
Brussels sprouts at The
Mitchell Block, and our mothers are so proud … no need
to tell them that this version
involves a quick deep fry and
charred lemon aioli. Fruit
smoothies at Prairie Ink
leave us happy and healthy
with a quick fix of fruit and
yogurt. Fast food feels guilt free
when burgers are crafted out of
a vegan bean, grain, and veggie
blend at Boon Burger (pictured). Post-yoga health sprees
are made complete by Green
Carrot Juice Co’s cold pressed
wonders.
MARVELOUS MARKETS
It's easy to eat local when great
markets are within easy reach.
We love connecting with farmers at St Norbert Farmers'
Market, Jardins St Léon,
Alleyways pop up market,
and more.
LINK UP
Whether it's bison sausage or kielbassa, this city is rich with
stellar sausages. We hit up
favourite spots like Piazza Di
Nardi, M & S Meat Market and
Miller's Meats to score hot links
and the best wurst.
FOOD FESTS
Winnipeg becomes festival central in the summer, and there are
no shortage of culinary events all
year round. From perogies to poutine, big fests like Folklorama
and Festival du Voyageur roll
out a cultural spread.
BUDS AND SUDS
Changing liquor laws and the
trendy clout of craft beer have led
to the influx of brewpubs and
local brewers in the city. New
brews from Barnhammer and
Torque are making waves, while
spots like The Common at The
Forks and Barley Brothers offer
tasting flights for hop-heads.
