Winnipeg Restaurants
Hey,
I am unaware of a thread to discuss the merits of Winnipeg Restaurants. (If one already exists, please merge this thread into it). I have a very specific question: Where can one get Chicago Deep Dish Pizza in Winnipeg? Who here has ordered the "Chicago Deep Dish" Pizza from Chicago Phils? Was it good? |
whats a deep dish pizza????? i gues u could try chicago phills located downtown on donald just befor the midtown bridge
as for restraunts kumko garden (spelling) china town good food dimsum garden aww so good speacly when u go for happy hour dimsum at 2pm also in china town pyramid falaful on Sargent and Young SE corner in the south part of that strip mall its a Ethiopian restaurant really good food had some realy good vietmise food also but the names of the places fail me since just get draged to them so never took notes of the names but there in the west end on sargent and on elice... brunch at the fort garry then theres the cordan strip sushi, itialian ect ect ect Yuki sushi on main st in the mclaren hotel worth checking out |

i've had the deep dish pizza at cafe 22. i remember it being incredibly filling, but i dont remember if it was good or not.
|
food in cafe 22 is generally poor - and i'm being polite
|
my faves in descending order of cost:
rae and jerry's keg downtown shanghai palatal express gondola is the only pizza for me...but it is far from deep dish. |

The Princess Street Grill is always a good source of a cheap breakfast. And I'll add Yuki's, the Confusion Grill and the old diner that Kraut King has setup into the mix. As far as fine dining went, I miss the old Gilroy's on Bannatyne and the Mertens rooftop patio that offered perhaps the best skyline view in the whole city from atop of that apartment block on Oakland Ave. |
Another cool place for me has always been eating at the Terrace Dining hall at Assiniboia Downs.
Said experience is made even better when your horse wins. :D |
hmmmm... Gondala... I haven't had edible paper thin cardboard pizza in a long time. maybe this weekend! Thanks TV for reminding me.
1ajs...deep dish is exactly that, it's baked in a deep dish. Pizza Hut is borderline deep dish, but nothing like the real stuff. When in the states I go to Chicago Uno which is a chain but has a decent 'za. |

As for what is deep dish pizza: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...#Stuffed_pizza btw, thanks for the restaurant info. How about good cheap (and maybe greasy) places to go for breakfast? I'm aware of: Stellas, The Nook The Falafel Place Country Porch Nick's (in Headingley) |
|
the paddlewheel in the bay for sheer nostalgia and uniqueness.. where else can you get jell-o, noodle salad and a beer?
for a grease fix, i say vj's drive in wins. casual/lounge - confusion corner is great! pasquale's on marion for italian can be great as well.. best caesar salad in town! |

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a site like this... |
Bistro 7 1/4 is my fav restaurant www.sevenandaquarter.ca
|
Some pretty decent selections already up here, but just to add to the list.
For a nice dinner, although not necessarily cost prudent, my three favourites are: Fude Amici's & Gates on Roblin For a nice, cost effective dinner: Inferno's Bistro Luxsole Nicolino's Paradise & Taste of Sri-Linka (in the East Exchange) For evening eats: Liquid Lounge (Amazing wings, and the cheapest frutti de mare going) Jonesy's (3133 Birds Hill Rd. - best appetizer in the world - the onion blossom) Miso ($17 all you can eat sushi. How do you go wrong?) |
theres a Sri-Linkan restraunt in the east exchange?
spent my even last night in the palm room at the fort garry with some old family friends from outa town not bad bit pricy but hey its the fort garry ur paying for it lol also the place was packed as for breakfast theres the windmill on selkirk bit of a whole in the wall these days but its still the north end breakfast with the juke boxs at ur seat also can't forget alicias on megregor for bortch and ukrainian food |
Quote:
I really liked them, but I'm wondering what other restaurants also serve perogies in the North end? I am not familiar with the area. (now I want to go back to Alicia's for the north end special). |
Yes, sir. On Bannatyne, right near Blu-Fish.

Love Ray and Jerry's - was there for lunch in the bar the other day. I hate to admit it, but i look forward to funerals because they may serve those tasty roll up sandwiches. |

Bindy's is great if you like roti. Spudtino's on Stafford was great as was Cafe Carlo. One particularly over rated place I went to was Fusion Grill. Food was very expensive and just so-so, and the room was absolutely filthy. |

FYI Luxesole has closed down, but they still have their Luxa Lune lounge next door, though I've never been. I've been to Bistro 7 1/4 twice, and was disappointed with the food both times. It's the kind of place that I want to love--it's unique and has that funky bistro vibe--but I think they need to work some things out on their menu. Just went to Rae and Jerry's for the first time for lunch and it was SO GOOD. And retro. |

oh yes.. infero's - they have a great elk dish! tomato pie co. in the village and pizzeria gustav on academy are worth a mention as of late too!!!
has anyone tried that new fazzo's place on corydon? it looks nice with what seems to be a lounge opening up beside it soon. nice addition! |
I haven't personally been to fatso - but judging from comments I've heard from one girl who has bartended a number of Corydon establishments, she has nothing but positive things to say.
What is the latest with Basil's. I know that restaurant in the village incurred great damage, and last summer, word was it could take a year to get up and running again. Any updates? |

the ladies at metro are a riot eh? thinks back to when walter died and the crazy riot of people that flooded that place trying to buy his last batch of meats he made have u ever hit up the polish meat shop on selkirk? |

ohhhh.. i walked by once at night when it was dark and noticed a counter with some lights hanging - automatically thought it was a new lounge.. but judging by how restricted fazzo's liquor licence is, (aka: having to close at 11pm to appease the neighbours) this makes sense!
another good cluster of restaurants: star grill and park towers on portage across from ass. park =) |
fazzo is very nice indeed - enjoyed it a lot
7 1/4 is awesome - am there every two weeks or so..... |

If someone decides to open a shawarma place in Winnipeg, they will make a killing...
|
a what now?
|
It's like Souvlaki. We have donair places here but I don't know if they have actual Shawarma or if it is just some sort of processed meat junk. One just opened downtown a month or two ago.
|
huh?
|
Stop drinking.

|
Google "Shawarma".
|
1ajs, it's kind of like a gyro/pita/wrap, with donair beef or chicken, with a great garlic sauce...
|
ok
|
I had donairs in edmonton. I wonder why there are none in winnipeg. I have yet to try a good quality donair...

There is a Shwarma place here
Man, some of you need to drive up Main Street.....there is a Shwarma joint near Don's Photo.....the owners are Lebanese. Their oven, which the stupid jerks at Canada Customs held up for SIX MONTHS, is a work of art and must be seen. They also sell Lebanese pastries and desserts and of course Pita bread.
