First of all, the reservation process was very easy and uncomplicated using the open table app. We were well received when we arrived early and seated in mostly empty restaurant as we were one of the first patrons. The service and the food were spectacular and we really enjoyed the Tart flambé, peasant pie and Mulhouse spatzle. It did get quite loud as the restaurant filled up, but we have noticed this before, and I've largely accepted that acoustics are not great when the restaurant is full. Other than that one negative comment we had a very positive experience and will come back again.

The service was great, as always. I generally find the food hit or miss. The appetizers are what I actually like about Peasant Cookery, but the mains seem underseasoned, and not necessarily filling the expectations of what the menu describes.

Amazing service...waitress was prompt, courteous and very thorough. Food presentation was exceptional and great tasting. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our 35th wedding anniversary here and enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, great service, and good food. First time in to eat, and we would recommend this establishment.

We haven't been at Peasant Cookery for years but went there to celebrate my son's birthday. It did not disappoint, food was good, including those giant pork chops, drinks were good, felt like putting on an old glove. Monday was $10 martinis, would reorder "Dirty Vodka Martini" for sure. I hope that it's not years before we return.

We were welcomed to the restaurant and seated promptly. The serving staff were pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. A congratulation card for our anniversary was waiting for us on our table. The food was absolutely delicious. This was not our first time nor will it be our last time we eat at Peasant Cookery!!

Was not great. Went to celebrate an anniversary dinner. While our service was great, our drinks were great, and the ambiance was great... The food was mediocre at best. My “aged cheddar gnocchi” was undercooked, was straight up missing the peas, and my “brown butter” was either just regular melted butter, or brown butter that was done entirely improperly as there was no brown to it, but instead just pure oil on my plate...? My fiancée ordered the steak frites, (for $36 might I add..) and the steak was very small, overcooked, and under seasoned. The star of her entire plate, was the house made fries. Our appetizer of a cheese board was good, but the portions of cheese were very small compared to the other items on the board. Especially for paying the amount I did.

I used to love Peasant Cookery and never had a bad experience here in the past, but my most recent visit was extremely disappointing. I went for oyster night and my friend and I both ended up with violent food poisoning for two days afterward.
On top of that, our service was painfully slow. We waited 40 minutes just for our second round of drinks. I understand it’s a busy night, but if you know it’s your busiest night of the week, staffing should be planned accordingly. We ended up paying the bill and leaving before even receiving our second drinks.
After this experience, I won’t be coming back, which is really unfortunate because this used to be one of my favorite spots.

Great menu with a few hits, including the moules-frites and basically anything with a sauce/gravy (as they do it superbly!).
We got a great table. Food was great, and ambiance was great. Service was just ok though. Overall, still a great evening.

Service was slow, but they were friendly. Food wasn't up to par. Calamari was flaky, none of the breading actually styled on the calamari and the seasoning was absent. Bison was dry and chopped into tiny little pieces. Desert was great.

Ambience is tough when the restaurant windows sometimes showcase what DOWNTOWN WINNIPEG can demonstrate. Perhaps it could be called entertainment but it, potentially, dissuades one from enjoying the patio area or a table too close to the window. All in all, the food and servers were excellent. I always will come back!

Nice place, good food but the portions could be bigger.

Started with a Beet and Spinach side salad; the presentation was awful but it tasted okay. Ordered Steak Frites "Rare" it came "Well Done", I sent it back and it took 15 mins to get it replaced. Replacement was cooked to "Medium" ......I ate it anyways because I was starving by that point and had no faith the next one would be any better. Fries were very good and nicely crispy. Decor is well worn and in need of replacing; many upholstered pieces are torn with gaping holes etc., overall the place is in bad shape. Don't think we'll be going back unless something drastic happens. Super disappointing as it used to be a really good restaurant.
