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.
