10 Best Bistros in Winnipeg

“This review has nothing to do with items on the menu but on the three people that helped me on Monday July 22 in the parking lot when they came to my assistance and called for an ambulance and stayed with me offering comfort until the ambulance came. I don't know their names but it was wonderful to see that there are still good and kind people in this world. I hope to visit this bistro one day and try items on the menu and see you in person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“I ate there for the second time recently, and everything about it is magnificent - from the menu to the cookery to the decoration. The cloth napkins are a particularly pleasant detail. Highly recommended. I am looking forward to trying other delectable offerings on their menu next time 🙂“

“The bistro has a menu that is clearly created with love for food and great knowledge of the Metis culture. The owner is a creative genius when it comes time to some of the unique combinations he has created to put on the menu. What I appeared most about the bistro experience, is the care that goes into sourcing every ingredient made to cook the quality food they offer. Your meals are not throwing together with margarine, or low quality butter. Give me are not purchased from superstore. The owners have taken time to locally source everything they can. From flour to fish, to bison and so on. This bistro is very evidently built and ran with the love and pride they take in their Metis roots. Apart from the quality and taste of the food and the owner go to make sure the guests have a quality experience, they give back to our youth. The owners took a chance and hired my 14 year old son to joint their team. Being a small business and taking a risk on hiring somebody so young was really something special. When my son was wanting to get a part-time job, we knew how challenging it would be for him being 14, and to enter the workforce. Most people wouldn’t want to give someone that young a chance. Especially with the role he was hired for. If he was the type of young man that didn’t show up to work, or didn’t keep his commitments, it would cause a lot of stress on the restaurant as a whole. And the fact that Dean and his wife took a chance and believed in my son… The bistro, and the owners will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s one thing to provide quality food, and to provide a great restaurant experience, but it’s another thing to be a good person behind the scenes. My son has learned so much not only about food, cooking and what it is to be an employee, but Dean has taught my son so much about our Metis culture, our roots our food and our traditions. everyone child check out APTN to see some of the amazing work Dean and his crew at the bistro did with our youth this past summer. If you go to aptn and type in bistro on Norte dame, you will see the video! 10/10 rating from us!“

“Great comfy spot for food or drink.“

“Delicious! We tried the Butter Chicken and the Chickpea Potato Curry. The butter chicken sauce was rich, creamy, and flavorful while the chicken was deliciously tender. The chickpea potato curry was perfectly spiced with a very deep flavour profile. The menu has lots of different international inspirations and this is some of the best Indian food we've had in Winnipeg. Chef Kumar and his team are very talented. We look forward to stopping by whenever we can and trying all the other dishes!“

“We dined at Beaurivage last night with our good friends celebrating our 28th anniversary! Oh my the meal was fantastic, George brought the courses out himself explained what each item was it was excellent!!! Fresh, tasty, presentation was excellent, spices were mild enough to savour every bite!!!! Highly recommend.“

“It was the Friday after Christmas, Dec 27 and NO OTHER PLACE WAS OPEN.. except Stoneworks Bistro. which I'm glad it was because the wrap was really good and I was full before I finished it. Best place to eat in the Concourse. Will be going back for sure“

“I ordered the Croque Madame and just look at it! Taste as good as it looks! Paired it with the mimosa flight to get my brunch started. Friendly service and wonderful establishment. It's great to see a restaurant packed with happy customers!“
