west end The pulse of the West End beats with a variety of cool, multi-culti favourites. Scents of rich, savoury broth hang in the air from the steaming bowl of beef and oxtail stock which make Pho Hoang one of the city ' s top picks for Vietnamese cuisine. India Palace’ s authentic recipes blend exotic spices and mixed vegetables in rich, creamy korma embellished with nuts and sweet raisins. The best of Gallic cuisine is found at Café Ce Soir, where a skilled chef’ s hand prepares bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin, perfectly paired with a dusky coin of pâté and sweet demi-glace. Signature brews at Barn Hammer Brewing Co. act as the main course at this local brewery’ s

tap room. Sample pours like the Grandpa’ s Sweater oatmeal stout. Taste experimental and seasonal brews by the glass or takeaway in a growler. No food service but guests are allowed to order food delivery if the munchies set in. Canada’ s first Indigenous cuisine restaurant, Feast Cafe Bistro, represents a celebration and reclamation of ingredients that make up First
Nations food. Homey staples like bison chili put a spin on comfort fare alongside pillowy bannock.

st boniface Winnipeg’ s Franco-Manitoban community is a bonafide destination for French and French- Canadian delicacies, brimming with bistros and cafes. Culinary culture has diversified over the years, but this is still the area to seek out when you want to pretend you are French. Husband and wife duo create spontaneous 7-course surprise tasting dinner menus at Beaujena’ s. Classic French recipes influence, with frequent detours around the continent and twists on tradition— open only on weekends. An ambience of elegance shines throughout Resto Gare and its attached historic train car. Choose from a stellar selection of contemporary or classic French dishes like an impeccable silky boeuf bourguignon, or maple sugar pie. Enormous burgers and fried chicken have drawn crowds for more than 55 years at Red Top Drive Inn, a cheery laid-back diner with a respect for tradition. Bright and energetic Greek resto Helios serves liberally stuffed gyros filled with juicy shreds of beef and lamb. Try the Moussaka kissed with nutmeg and topped with one of the silkiest bechamels in the city. Slabs of pork shoulder, chicken and brisket are smoked low and slow over Manitoba oak every night at Lovey’ s BBQ. Family recipes and locallysourced produce are shared without pretension in a super cute space.
