The bland and the beautiful
Resto Gare, a trendy French bistro located in the old St. Boniface train station on Des Meurons Street, is certainly more of a feast for the eyes than for the palate. Diners can opt to sit in the historic observation car, built in 1914, or the dining room, both of which are stylistically stunning.

The hunt for Winnipeg’s best veggie burger
Once a bland alternative to North America’s fast-food favourite, the veggie burger has become a well-loved meal in its own right.

Diners in the ‘Peg
While chain restaurants can be nice because you know what you’re going to get every time you step into one, there’s no beating the unique atmosphere of a Winnipeg diner.
