Was hungry at the airport of Winnipeg so we went to Blue Marble restaurant which is a 5 minute walk distance.Ordered their fried calamari with 2 drinks.The fried calamari portion was small and the salad was okay. The vinaigrette was not that tasty was a bit too sour for me.Service-wise it was perfect. Great atmosphere. There were no crowd.

I wasn't expecting much from this airport hotel restaurant and boy, was I wrong! The food choices and quality were creative and delicious! The salmon and sweet potato croquettes were accompanied by broccoli Rabe and squash. It was served with flair by a really nice waitstaff. While I didn't have wine, customers were raving about in the hallway. I had a local beer, awesome!

Staff are very attentive, chefs preparation of the food was great but the quality of produce and seafood was terrible. It could have been great but old seafood and wilted lettuce doesn’t cut it for these prices.

Had a very nice meal in Blue Marble. My wife and I shared the burger special (beef asado), duck confit, and stuffed flatbread. Portions were all a great size and we left feeling very full. The food was good and tasty and the service was prompt and friendly. No complaints at all.

I love the duck confit. And Ryan's Cayman Island Beach vibes cocktail. Mmm.

One of the best plant based meals I've had in a long time....while 2 others had Steak bites, 1 had seafood pasta. 1 had Salmon on salad.....all excellent. Chicken liver appetiser and tomato soap.... very good.

by far the best hotel restaurant I've ever eaten at! We had the duck confit and short ribs of beef and both were wonderful. Highly recommend!

For an airport hotel restaurant this was a pleasant surprise. Service was attentive the menu surprisingly adventurous, with generous small plate options to share that tasted good. If stuck at YWG airport, worth the walk over.

We chose Blue Marble for a family birthday event googling “best restaurants in Winnipeg”. Obviously a gross error. We arrived a bit late and two family members had already ordered cocktails. One choice was ginger infused and tasted off. Our waiter told us “I make it like the recipe; you order it, it's yours”. We probably should have taken our cue there because not one of the four cocktails we ordered after that were quite right. My husband loves a Manhattan and as he said “I could have made a much better one myself”. We ordered from both the small plates and larger portion sides of the menu. We ordered 5 dishes in total to share between 4 people. Two dishes were very good. One was average and two were way below par. The chicken livers were chunks of liver in a heavy brown “beefy” sauce that overwhelmed the dish. The stuffed bread was so oily it virtually “swam” in the plate making it gooey instead of nicely chewy. Usually when you go to a top end restaurant and the waiter knows it is a birthday celebration, they offer a dessert selection for the person having the birthday. Not here. We ordered two desserts to share between us,. Again, a hit and a miss. One, a pavlova, was not chewy on the outside and soft on the inside but so hard it was difficult to eat. The other, a chocolate panne cotta was very good. So overall, you certainly take your chances with this restaurant - you may luck out and get something very good but likely will have that outweighed by dishes that are almost uneatable. For a dinner costing over $250, and a special celebration we expected much much more.
Small plate of Stuffed chicken was the perfect amount for us and delish and the burger was tasty. Blue Marble always has a fantastic wine list which is appreciated and it’s usually quiet but don’t let that fool you. It’s a great place to stop, even if not travelling.

Ate here 3 nights while staying at the hotel. For an airport hotel restaurant, 5 stars. The chef clearly takes the time to use quality ingredients and cook them well. For instance, the veggies with my short ribs were clearly all cooked separately and assembled on the plate. I appreciate that level of attention. I ate the beef short ribs, the burger, and the Brussel sprouts. All good. Staff is attentive but does not hover. Good wine and spirits list.
The menu is very limited and the details poor. The food I ordered gave what was in it and when I got it I didn't find half of the items on it that it said. I ordered something different and it was good. Still charged me full price for both meals.
