OT: Restaurant thread

[jokesondee]

I second this.

My dad used to work in the industrial area near Logan and Weston, he would get us Burger Factory after his shift ended in the evening. Great food but sadly that turned into a 7-11 years after.

Panet and Regent my friend. Next time youre in town.

Fantastic list, agree with all of them! Winnipeg really is spoiled for great restaurants, seemingly always something new to try.
Cibo is one of the best settings in this city. Just a fantastic reclamation project of a great part of the architectural history in town. I used to love Peg as well, for the food, beer and just overall setting. Haven’t tried it as Nonsuch yet, have you?

I have not but most certainly will very soon, it’s on the list of places I haven’t gone to yet along with others!

Lol, unsurprising. I doubt much has changed at that place for 50 years.

No , the inside of the restaurant is exactly the same . I think we had the same waitress from the last time i was there like 20 years ago too .

I used to love the Red Top but went there recently and wasn't too happy with the food . The original owner retired and now i think his son is running it . I'll go back sometime and give it another shot though .

Any time I’ve had it in the last few years it been pretty good

Best place to get a good Pizza Winnipeg?

It’s Santa Lucia

 

[SUX2BU]

Too many faves to list right now but I'll start with these...

1. Italian: Santa Ana (my favourite restaurant of any kind in the city)
2. Chinese: Hung's
3. Steak: The Keg on Garry (yes, this Keg location is better than the others)
4. Greeks burgers: VJ's... or George's in a pinch
5. Non-Greeks burgers: Five Guys

Okay, that's enough for now... I'm hungry!

sorry Jeff; forgot to include you in the pre-game ramble that lead to this thread

Great burger places, love Mrs Mike’s and the Whip on Marion .....

Harth is located in the depths of southern St Vital and it’s really good. Rustic Italian. Wood fired Neapolitan style pizzas, handmade pasta.

No worries at all!

I love all the places that make our Dining scene unique!
Deer and Almond, Segovia, Enoteca, Maque, Smith, Fusion, Bonfire Bistro, Inferno bistro, king and Bannatyne, Clementines, peasant cookery, Cibo, Cafe Dario, oxbow, Cafe Carlo, Passero, chaise, sous sol, pizzeria gusto, little goat, Marion street eatery.
There are many more but all those places are just a great start, should give you a few years worth of restaurants! I can rarely get to a place a second time because there are so many gems. Our dining scene is stellar!

Pretty sure you are following my wife and I around! I love all kinds of restaurants, burger joints to tapas and everything in between.

Our overall favorite is Inferno Bistro on Des Meurons though.

@nobody important, those ‘safe’ restaurants get quite a bit of love from us as well. You always know what you’re getting.

Also I love the pizza at Trans Canada Brewery. Probably my favorite crust. Pizza is probably my favorite food group.

That's one place I still need to check out. Apparently the dude that started it won some kind of "worlds best pizzaiolo" in Italy a few years back. Pretty impressive. Im with you bro, I could legit eat pizza everyday for the rest of my life with the odd fatboy sprinkled in lol.

yeah but all this talk is making me realize I really have to get back to my passion for good and interesting food.

Some solid Foodies in this group. Lots of great recommendations.

Please check out “The Tallest Poppy’” in the Front of the Sherbrook Inn.

Thread makes me think of Darth and Mrs Monty who were Triple D’s travelling food fans.

RIP Mrs Monty.

Best place to get a good Pizza Winnipeg?

Wait, that’s it’s own thread .

Lots of great pizza in Winnipeg.


Vera’s
Santa Anna
Red Ember
Santa Lucia
Tony’s
The aforementioned Garwood Grill
Pizzeria Gusto

He started his own place on Corydon in the old Birks fine furs building (dated myself with that reference).
Tommy’s Pizza. Great vibe.

Great thing about being near a major city like Atlanta, there’s tons of great restaurant choices. Unfortunately I can’t afford any of them. Lol

Look at that #1, man. Shit, I would be happy if we just had an authentic Cajun/Creole restaurant. If it offered me an all you can eat buffet option, just call me Snuffles.

I enjoyed Vientiane on Marion, it had good Thai food when I lived in the area. It's been a few years, I'm not sure if it's still any good.

 

[EpochLink]

Any of ya'll into Filipino food? There's some great places in Winnipeg to get some..

Jollibee!!

Which places do you recommend? The only other place I’ve been is Juvian’s. TBH, considering how big our Filipino community is, I’ve always thought the Filipino restaurant scene was rather unknown. I’ve always been curious about their cuisine but it seems to get buried in the vast selection of Vietnamese and Thai restaurants. Lately the Korean scene has made considerably more noise.
I obviously just don’t know where to go.
