Opening weekend at the farmers market today! I have been waiting impatiently all winter! Jewellery,…read morefood, clothes, art, FREE samples. Homemade, Manitoba made... There is something for everyone. No fresh veggies or fruit yet its too early, but they are selling the plants in case you want to grow your own (I'll just wait....). Got some homemade raspberry jam, some healthy all natural cookies and a gorgeous henna tattoo (see pic). Make sure to talk to the vendors because they love to share stories and tell you about their business. It felt nice that my favorite vendors remembered me even though I haven't seen them since last summer. Food trucks also park here with delicious snacks and meals. Get out and support local Manitoba products!

The St. Norbert Farmers Market is located on Pembina Highway just south of the Perimeter. One of…read morethe few areas where going beyond the Perimeter is still considered part of Winnipeg. The farmers market is open year-round, although it's considerably smaller in the winter months. While food is obviously the highlight of the market, it's also a great place for tourists if you're looking for some local souvenirs. Everything in this market is locally made and authentic, and that's ranging from food to craftsmanship. When I was there, the Red Ember food truck was also there making pizzas for hungry market goers for lunch. The parking situation can get quite hectic, although there's a direct bus from downtown to St. Norbert which you can consider. There's no free parking at the market; surrounding parking lots are either $2 or illegal to park, so do keep that in mind. It's definitely quite out of the way if you live more central or in the north, but I definitely give high praise to the farmers market here. Definitely a good enough size for this city; if you're expecting a St. Lawrence Market feel, you'll obviously leave disappointed.

They serve all types of freshly baked breads and pastries. I was here for the cinnamon rolls which have gotten high recommendations from friends. Fresh from the oven, they were pillowy soft with just enough sweetness added. The whole wheat cinnamon rolls were popular that day as I had to wait for the next batch as I ordered. Service was super friendly and the staff looked liked they enjoyed their work as you can watch them make the breads.

After only 3 days, upon unpacking I was shocked to find that there were white molds behind the fruit. Called Lucky Jefferson to inform them and was hopeful I could exchange the items like seafood city and superstore's policies are, but they said I could not return or exchange them. I will never trust fruits and veggies that are packed again. And will never buy from Lucky again. I'm so disappointed.

This was my first time hearing about them being available in the city, so of course I had to go try it. The last time I had Portuguese egg tarts was when I was in Macau, and they were so amazing, so my expectations have already been set quite high. We got a package of 6. The shell of the egg tart was flaky, and there was a nice caramelization at the top. They were very good, but they weren't as good as the ones I've had in the past. Give them a try if you've never had a Portuguese egg tart before.

What's not to love about this place? It's a super friendly Portuguese grocery, bakery and eatery!!…read moreOh yeah, and they sell the juiciest, most amazing whole roasted chicken with piri piri sauce and potatoes for $15!!! I was very sad when I heard Chave D'Ouro closed as that was the first place I ever tasted Portuguese style roast chicken and potatoes and fell in love. Well, now this place has taken over that business by offering that as a take out - just order ahead, preferable 24 hours ahead but they said they can do it with 3 hours notice but 24 hours is best since it lets the chicken properly marinate. Their lunches are a hidden gem as you can get $5 lunches that are super yum. Seriously, where can you even get lunch for that price anymore??? Bifana, pork sandwich with caramelized onions, banana peppers and hot sauce goes for $3 or if you add on the soup of the day comes to $5. The home made soup was great, not salty at all, you can taste all the fresh veggies in there. So good. The bifana can be ordered with beef instead, called "prego" though pork is traditional. Wonderful sandwich with great flavours so get all the fixings. The bakery is another huge winner as it's still as good as I remembered from my last view a couple of years ago when they first opened. Their cinnamon buns are more doughy but I like that and has just enough cinnamon and brown sugar in there without it being too bloody sweet which I hate. Their baked items change daily but Saturday has the most flavours to choose from. You gotta try the chorizo in a bun for $3.50 - it's essentially a calzone, bread filled with sliced strips of home made chorizo (made in house, which you can buy as well) plus mozzarella. The wonderful guy working there who was super passionate about the food suggested getting this heated up and filled with caramelized onions if you eat it in store. Do the same if you take it home or add a fried sunny side up egg and make it a meal. I heated the chorizo bun in a toaster oven, cup the top open and placed a sunny side up egg and had the most delicious lunch. Great place to try so many yummy savoury and sweet items!!!! It's mostly take out though there are a handful of tables for you to sit and enjoy the food as well. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday and Saturday, to 6 p.m. Friday.
