travel bites
When on vacation, every meal counts. Seldom do we deliberately seek out the mediocre – whether grabbing something fast between the day’ s activities or stopping to savour a multi-course culinary extravaganza from one of the region’ s most lauded chefs, the roadster rule for foodies is to eat very well, always.
For some of us, picking our place to recreate takes into consideration what there is to eat when we get there. Is there a vibrant restaurant scene? What are the region’ s indigenous ingredients? Are the chefs cooking creatively, offering a chance to taste something new and exciting? What is it going to cost? Fortunately for Peg city residents, we have it all!
Winnipeg is one of Canada’ s great restaurant cities. Our multiculturalism and diverse landscape from which to draw our food( forests, lakes, prairies and marshes) make our local flavour a unique blend of tastes that takes inspiration from cuisines around the world. Chefs have created healthy competition, pushing themselves to present foraged favourites in unexpected ways. What’ s more, the characteristic practicality of the population( read: frugal) keeps the prices in restaurants from soaring. In fact, the most“ expensive” dining options are still a bargain here, and the best bargains can be found at the best restaurants, where premium ingredients are essential to their winning recipes.
This summer, Ciao! magazine presents its annual city-wide restaurant event that showcases our local culinary pioneers. These top restaurants offer incredible 3-course meals at a fixed price throughout the entire month of July. Ciao! EAT Winnipeg is designed to encourage locals and visitors alike to dine at the city’ s best places and enjoy creative and memorable meals. Participating restaurants sweeten the offer by serving up these full meal deals for only $ 38. This cool event is sure to be a hot draw, so make reservations to avoid disappointment. Our guess is that once you start eating, you’ ll want to visit them all!
