west broadway Charming yet trendy Sherbrook Street acts as the heart of this up-andcoming neighbourhood flanked by residential streets. Longstanding favourite Bistro Dansk has garnered national recognition for its European comfort food. Specialties like crispy chicken schnitzel with a heaping mound of sweet and sour, bacon imbued cabbage is brilliant enough to convert sour krauts. Inside a heritage home on treelined west Broadway, Wasabi is one of the first-wave Japanese restaurants serving sushi on the prairies. Don’ t miss the mango tango prawns; tempura fried, coated with creamy chile sauce, mango cubes and mixed greens in a wonton bowl. A modern, open concept taproom oozes cool vibes inside and out at Next Door. Brew partner, Good Neighbour Brewing Company ensures guests have something cold— hazy, sour or pale— in hand. Impressively presented roasted beets, garnished with vibrant chermoula and garlic sauce make a lasting impression. Verde Juice Bar promotes plant-based eating with crowd-pleasing bowls and vibrant beverages that are as delicious as they are rich in nutrients. The açai bowl, starring house made granola, is one of the best smoothie bowls in the city. It takes three days to create the New York style dough for each pizza crust at Shorty’ s. Characteristic chew crust provides the perfect base for the White Pizza’ s mixture of cheeses balanced with bright zingy lemon notes and swirl of pesto and fresh piquant arugula. destination dining

st boniface Home to the largest Francophone population outside of Quebec, Winnipeg’ s St. Boniface is a bona fide destination for French Canadian delicacies. Culinary culture has diversified over the years, adding vibrant flavours and trendy ideas but this is still the area to seek out when you want to pretend you are French. Pauline Bistro reimagines petit dejeuner. Tartines, fancy toasts a la française, have our mouths watering. Avocado gets an elegant upgrade with pickled onions, sweet, blistered tomatoes and a perfectly poached egg. Across the street, Nola, welcomes diners to a culinary adventure for the modern era. The first bite of smoked goldeye salad hints at what all the fuss

is about. The mixture of shredded kale, soy braised mushroom, wild rice, miso mustard vinaigrette, and crispy parsnip reveals the subtle ingenuity. Shahi Flames is an elegant addition to Winnipeg’ s growing South Asian food scene. Appetizers, like the lemon mustard prawns, subtly highlight the influence of a common pantry spice, by adding a delicate bitter bite of mustard seeds to tangy lemon dressing. Roasted Nomad continues to draw crowds from across the city for its beautifully executed comfort food and marvelous coffees. Come for familiar comfort of a scratch made bowl of soup, a double patty smash burger loaded with sautéed mushrooms, mozza and bacon. Faux foliage and lighthearted design furnished in swing chairs and community style tables set the stage for Kilter Brewing Co.’ s punchy pours. A taster flight promotes sampling. Light snacks( popcorn, chips) gently coax guests to linger – inside or under the trees.
