Food was delicious with a varied & interesting menu. I've been there a few times and it was always good. We got a quiet corner and our waiter, James, went above and beyond. Very friendly and attentive with a good sense of humour, and stayed later while we were still talking.

Food was good. Entrée portions were very large. No complaints. Good value for the money. Interior was dated, booths and chairs super worn and falling apart, cracked walls, weird creepy bathroom hallway full of discarded chairs. Mild kitchen nightmares vibes.

It was our first time at Peasant Cookery and will not be our last! We had dinner there to celebrate my husband's birthday; the service was great & the food was fantastic! Everything on the menu sounds amazing! Before we even left we were already talking about coming back! Highly recommend the crème brûlée cheesecake!

Great place with great atmosphere. Staff was very helpful and professional…buck a shuck oyster special cannot be beat & oysters are high quality for such a good deal! Person I dined with got the pork chop & said it was amazing and was almost like a bone-in ribeye in presentation. One of the best pork chops I’ve ever seen.
Would 100% recommend whether you’re looking for an oyster deal or a nice dinner in Winnipeg.

Went for a work trip dinner, and it was very tasty! My coworkers with no food allegiance allergies really liked the mushrooms and ribs appies. Had multiple gluten-free and some gluten and dairy free options. Fryer is nominally gluten-free, but they fry a lot of shellfish in it. They even had GF vegan carrot cake as a dessert option, which was a pleasant surprise.

The server never checked on us once and forgot my mum's jam she asked for once the food arrived. All of our eggs were over done, on a Benedict you'd hope for a soft poached egg but they were all hard. Skip their brunch and just go for dinner as that never seems to disappoint.

Shabby Chic or just plain shabby, not sure which they are trying to convey but dangerously close to shabby. Unfortunately, the Peasant Cookery fell very short of the hype and the multiple recommendations. Service was lack luster and the food was warm instead of hot. The old vinyl seats were all shedding and the tables were sticky. It wasn't busy so the staff could have been more aware and attentive. We spent 5 days in Winnipeg, dining at many of the top rated restaurants and thought this would be the one to cap off our trip. Of all those visited, this was our least favourite. We won't be sharing recommendations for Peasant.

The dinner was great. Ordered beef carpaccio comes table side with a smokey display delicious not overly smokey. Charcuterie was must pate a little to be desired. Spatzle was resplendent. Do not sleep on this. From the bar for an early drink the bar tender was an amazing host to the knowledge and care from the wait staff to the delicious meal from the chefs can't speak highly enough thank you.

Classy spot with excellent food in a European style atmosphere. Just driving through but the kind of place you'd go for a special occasion.

Amazing place, service was great. Would recommend the mussels!
Very nice setting that is conveniently located for Burton Cummings theatre but the quality of food is always below standards and we give them a try every year or so

My recent dining experience at Peasant Cookery left me with mixed feelings. The food itself was, without a doubt, excellent. Each dish we ordered was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. The culinary team truly delivered on taste and quality, which is the main reason I'd consider a return visit.
However, the service unfortunately fell short. Our waiter seemed disengaged, almost as if he disliked his job, which cast a noticeable shadow over the meal. When we had basic questions about the menu – regarding ingredients or preparation methods – he was unable to provide clear answers, often offering vague responses or needing to check with the kitchen. This lack of menu knowledge and enthusiasm from the front-of-house staff was quite disappointing, especially given the high standard of the food.
While the kitchen staff deserves commendation for the delicious meal, the service aspect definitely needs improvement to match the quality of the cuisine.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is fabulous, and portions are generous. The service is top-notch. Highly recommend.

It was such a lovely experience! Haven't been there in awhile and it was so nice to be back. Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious.

The breakfast meals were good: pancakes and French toast. The appetizer came with very little bread but they brought more so all good. The tortiere gravy was heavily salted, far beyond edible. We did bring it to their attention but received no explanation. It was just ok.
