I just *had* to yelp about this place because it was one of those experiences that just get weirder and weirder. Visiting on business, my best friend was enjoying her last few days in Winnipeg before she moves to Thailand, and I asked her where we could get good perogies in town. I figured she'd lived here all her life (in between moving to Cambodia, China, and falling in love with a Tanzanian) so I'd trust her judgement. To get to this place, you certainly do have to trust your judgement! Ever had to enter a senior's place to get your perogy fix? When in Winnipeg, don't judge. Because the perogies and borscht might just blow your mind. Enter the building, take the elevator to the parkade, find the signs to the Rec Centre and "Jessie's Kitchen", walk through twists and turns to find a small kitchen/room overlooking the pool. Jessie cooks everything herself, and it's obviously homemade. Reasonably priced - apparently this place used to be located on a regular street but moved here - probably save on rent? It's not the most glamourous of places, but hey, when the food is good and it's $36 (incl tax) for two combo plates + borscht, don't complain! The perogies were great, but I'm not as huge a fan of the meatballs - but my friend's kohlbassa was HUGE! So, follow the signs for something a little different. read more

We have been here several times & both times the perogies were fabulous but very expensive ($9.00 for 6 of them). The desserts were fabulous & very reasonably priced. The portions were small however, so the 2 of us ordered 3 desserts & shared the third. If you go to Jessie's for the ambiance you will be quite disappointed, it is kind of like a mom & pop Chinese food place with on many tables & chairs in the place, with hand made decorations on the walls. It is in the bottom of an apartment building where mostly the elderly live, so they frequently eat here when they don't want to cook. It also kind of doubles as a make shift grocery store where the people who live in the building buy packages of cookies or candies. I bought a package of jellies once but when I opened them they were hard even though the package was sealed. We also were there several days after Valentines Day, & the cookies that they were selling were like from a bake sale. There were no labels on them saying the ingredients & they were just in little zip lock bags. The cookies were the same price that they were before Valentines Day. I pointed this out to the waitress so she discounted them, but she said the owner usually doesn't do this. I go here because they make great perogies, not for any other reason!! read more

Before departing for Winnipeg we were told we absolutely must find a Ukranian restaurant. There will be lots they said. Easy to find we were told. We asked around, everyone thought we were crazy. This is the only Ukranian restaurant anyone knew of that was still open in the city. With a recommendation in our hands and a dream of perogies and cabbage rolls in our hearts we set off on an adventure we won't soon forget. After being directed by our GPS to what looked like your average, older, rundown apartment building - 'We couldn't possible be here' we wondered aloud. But low and behold we saw the glorious sign 'Jessie's Ukranian Kitchen and Deli'. After parking and following more signs to the P1 level, down a long hall we finally reached this Mecca of Ukranian cuisine. Pretty sure the place used to be the party room for the building. It was actually much busier than we though - us and three other tables. Two of them being filled with regulars who live in the building. Were they the best pierogis I've ever had? No. Was the restaurant ripe with character? You bet! read more

Jessie's Kitchen is a Ukrainian restaurant located in Edgewood Estates (P1 Level) at 60 Whellams Lane. The menu offers a variety of Ukrainian dishes and sandwiches and additionally offers in house made desserts. Perogies and cabbage rolls can be ordered in bulk and Jessie's is part of "Skip the Dishes". The restaurant is licensed and offers bottled beer & wines. The owners Margaret & Bruce are great and really get to know their regulars. Dined here many times and the food never disappoints. Highly recommend the restaurant. read more

Very impressed with the food. Have been there a few times…read more Very friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive. With smaller amount of seating, it is good to make reservation.

Listen, the food here is worth the drive…read more We all had pierogi meals, they all come with sausage or meatballs when a dinner. Totally worth the drive. Poutine for an appetizer. Was great, rich brown gravy and what must be hand cut fries. Was delicious. For dessert, more pierogis. 5 types of fruit and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Daily fresh borscht and options for those averse to the Ukrainian decadence. The owner is as much a character as is the dining area carries. She's warm, funny, and carries herself like a community aunt - joking, laughing, and suggesting you eat more. And no matter how much you can eat, it's affordable. Worth. The. Drive.

The worst prepared-food store I have ever tried in Winnipeg! It's shocking how Ukrainians can…read moremanage to cook Ukrainian food so badly. The chebureki were terrible -- extremely greasy, oil was literally dripping from them. Impossible to hold in your hands; they just fell apart. The pork dumplings didn't even last 3 minutes before the dough came apart and completely fell apart. And what you call cabbage pies is a whole different story. I have never tasted a worse dish in my life. There was almost no filling, and whatever was there was bland, dry, and completely tasteless -- no soul at all. We waited about 40 minutes for this "pleasure"! In the end, all the food went straight into the trash along with a significant amount of money. Come on -- this was supposed to be food for children! A terrible store, terrible prices, and terrible service. Complete lack of respect for customers. If you decide to open a place with Ukrainian character, to represent values and showcase our culture -- please add effort, responsibility, and at least a drop of professionalism. Because what you are offering now is a disgrace, not Ukrainian cuisine.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the place was rather lively even on a Friday afternoon…read more In terms of the food we shared an order of poutine and their blackened chicken fettuccine. Poutine was decent - not the best I've had in town but not the worst. The portion was very small, and I was surprised to see it priced almost as much as an entree on the bill - they don't have it on the menu a la carte but you can upgrade a side of fries to poutine for $4. Since the pasta dish didn't normally come with fries I asked if they could just do a side of poutine and they said yes (and then charged $14 for it). It wasn't worth it. The blackened chicken fettuccine was disappointing. Our host highly recommended it, and it's a dish I generally enjoy enough I even make it at home. The blackening rub they use had almost no spice, which to me defeats part of the point of "blackened" chicken - the taste was more on the herby side. The noodles themselves were bland and the sauce was almost non-existent - sadly underseasoned. I chopped the chicken up into tiny bits and mixed it all together so that they flavors from the chicken could add at least some excitement to the pasta, but while it helped it didn't quite save the dish. Overall the experience was fairly mediocre. Maybe I should have gotten a burger, but I went with the host's recommendation instead for a dish I normally quite enjoy and came away disappointed. The price of the side of poutine is on me - I didn't ask ahead of time. But it came out to be nearly double what I'd expected for half as much as I'd thought it would be.
