I concur. The quality did not change. I thought it went under both Mithi and A l’epi du blé. I didn’t know they changed the name to the “French Bakery.”

Ah. Was it in the strip mall at north side of Red River Blvd?

Forgot to mention.

Hit up Daly burger for the first time in over a decade. Still one of the best burger joints in the city. The cheeseburger, with chill was excellent. Enough fries to feed a family.

A+

it has changed ownership a few times, always maintained great burgers. last time I was there Gus Vailas was back, he was the original owner. Is it still him?

Still haven't tried daly burger. I have heard it was good. I might go down there tomorrow.

Speaking of good burgers, I was pleasently surprised with the burgers at Leopolds tavern. Was there recently and their burgers are really good. So is their pulled pork poutine.


I was a st james burgers on ness recently also. I have to say I feel like the quality of their burgers has come down a bit. The last few times I was there I felt like ingredietns didn't feel the best or very fresh, the burger looked like it was half assed put together. Was kind of disappointed, this was my favorite place for burgers for a long time.

Always great service and nice food, too bad.

On + note, Mrs Mike's the burger shop on Tache re-opened yesterday despite last year saying they were retiring.

Very happy to hear it’s open again. Need to schedule a trip home.

Former Za Bistro on Ellice near Jollibee has new signage as "Goro Goro Hotpot" and themed graphics have papered over the windows. No other information though and it does not appear to be open.

[blueandgoldguy]

The latest top-100 restaurants of Canada came out and Winnipeg has 3 on the list - Deer and Almond, Clementine and Yujiro. Deer and Almond was ranked highest at 39.

It's worth noting two of these are downtown...you know, the place that no one wants to go outside of work.

Za has been going downhill for years.
The Ellice location which at one time was decent, ran out of sauce when we ordered in for Lunch @ work on a Saturday and took many hours to receive.
So Gross.
Then O Village was staying open late to capture the bar crowds now closing well before midnight.. Expansion killed them.
Carbones is also caused chaos in the market for investors. Their original locations are all gone and the new ones are a failure.
A great CBC article can be found explaining more in detail.

God damnit!

Yujiro is arguably my favorite sushi restaurant in town. I don't like it when places get too popular. I like it when they fly under the radar a bit.

...I am legitimately happy for them.
