Eat: Resto Gare Bistro and Train Bar
630 Des Meurons St, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2P9
A Winnipeg classic, Resto Gare’s dining room is housed in a 1913 railway station—and an adjacent 1914 Canadian Northern Railway car serves as its elegant bar. The menu is as classic French as it gets, serving bistro classics like ratatouille and beef bourguignon. (This being Canada, they also do a mean poutine.) A glass or two from their ever-changing wine list will have you feeling like you’re back in the days when train travel was the height of sophistication.
Eat: Deer + Almond
85 Princess St, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1K4
Newly reinvisioned as a tasting menu restaurant, this spot takes inspiration from all over the world. For example? Diners can choose from a selection of dishes for their four course meal, meaning you might start out in Spain with a chorizo and manchego croquette, move on to the Middle East with a zucchini flatbread and hummus, enjoy a New York-inspired steak for your entree, and end in France with an apple tarte tatin. An à la carte service is offered at the bar, if preferred.
Eat: Sous Sol
22-222 Osborne St, Winnipeg, MB R3L 1Z3
Can you keep a secret? Sous Sol is an underground restaurant with a hidden entrance, lit entirely by candlelight. This place is dripping with charm: the food leans French, the cocktails are served in vintage barware, the jazz soundtrack is on vinyl, the oysters are by the dozen. Dinner here can be very romantic—garlic butter escargots, duck breast in red wine jus, salted caramel creme brûlée—but their late night menu makes it a perfect place to catch up with friends over bison tartare and Sous S’Old Fashioneds.
