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 !
For the times when eating is going to be fast and casual , this issue ’ s inthekitchen and ciao ! cooks features present a delicious line up of healthy fast food to add to your summer fun . Whether chowing down on burger hut grub that ’ s good for the planet or childhood favourites revamped with a gourmet twist , you can feel good about indulging in some classic summer road food .
