First time in Winnipeg, so obviously first time here. I'm so very glad we found it for breakfast…read more Getting in is somewhat difficult as parking is anything but plentiful in front of the restaurant. There are a few street spaces, but after that you have to go behind the restaurant and across the street to Earl's restaurant to find a parking lot. Once in, though, all is good. Competent, personable service. The coffee is good and the portions are huge. I ordered an omelet, actually made as a frittata. It was excellent. Between the large omelet, portion of fried potatoes, and the three pancakes on the side, I took home half my meal to have as another breakfast tomorrow. Ditto my wife, who ordered the "small" giant apple pancake, which is baked, not griddled. The small version is still the size of a standard dinner place and almost 2 inches thick. I can't even imagine what the regular size would be. All the food we were served was delicious. When we return to Winnipeg, this will most certainly be the site of one of our meals.

Not sure why the review average is quite low for this place. I came here for brunch recently and…read morethought the overall dining experience was great. The giant apple pancake (yes, it's GIANT, don't underestimate the size of it) was something to die for. Delicious on every front. The interior felt very homey and comfortable. Service was friendly but a bit on the slow side. Not good for if you're in a rush. The main reason for the one star taken off is not only because of the slow service, but also because of how hard it is to find parking if you're eating here. It looks like they tore down the parked that used to be here for whatever reason. My friend and I ended up having to park at Polo Park's lot and walk here. Not the end of the world but certainly inconvenient. On another note though, I love the little shop they have where you can get squishmallows and other kinds of candy and treats just before you leave. I also found the prices to be quite reasonable compared to other breakfast/brunch places. Other than those minor problems, I'd certainly return here as I definitely enjoyed my time eating here.

Since Crumb Queen and Andy's Lunch are basically the same business in Osborne Village, I'll put my…read morereview for Andy's Lunch here as well. I went here for lunch on a Saturday, about half an hour before closing. Andy's Lunch has two homemade pasta options available, as well as a few sandwich options, which all change frequently. When I went, they had a rigatoni and a casarecce option. Since I didn't want anything creamy, I went with the casarecce, which included squash sauce, brown butter, whipped ricotta, fried sage, and parmagiano. On the Crumb Queen side, I grabbed a potato, sausage, and carm onion danish. The pasta dish was very unique, albeit a bit small in size. I can definitely tell that the casarecce was homemade. It was delicious, and of all things I found to be the uniquely great touch, it was the fried sage...lol. The danish was good too, only issue was that it was on the cold side. I did arrive around 2:30pm, so my guess was that the bakery was done baking for the day. Restaurant is over the counter, you order at the cashier and they'll give you a number for the servers to bring the food to you if dining in. Given the diverse bakery menu and the frequent changes in the lunch menu, it's a place worth regularly coming back.

I liked the quality of the delicate Italian meat. The cashier people seemed nice but they also spoke in a gibberish manner.

Surprised to be the first review for 'D Spot Dessert Cafe' as this has been a raving new trendy…read moredessert spot. For a first timer the menu is a little overwhelming as the options range from diner food, multiple dessert options, and hot/cold drinks. That being said, the server was very welcoming but did not offer any suggestions or recommendations to their menu. Apart from that, the ambience is very open and has a very 'retro diner' look with lots of booths. Being a new place there were not many people seated and walk in orders seem to be more preferred. If you are debating on a good and quiet time to go, I had arrived late into the evening at 8 pm and the service was still really prompt. I had ordered the 'Cookie Butter Croffle' and also wanted to try their House brew coffee. I was sharing with a friend and the portion sizing was pretty good for a light bite between the two of us. There were 2 croffles and 1 vanilla ice-cream cup on the side. The croffle was warm and not too sweet when paired with the icecream it was delicious! Almonds and biscoff bits for a nice little crunch and the layers of the croissant were very buttery. Would recommend if you like a lighter dessert as it hit the right spot without making me feel like I'm eating too much sugar. The coffee was straight from the pot and unfortunately did not receive a sleeve for it upon arrival but other than that the coffee was alright. My other friends loved their desserts just like I had and we were overall satisfied with our individual dishes! For a first timer I definitely will be coming back. This place is open late into the evening so if you ever have a late night sweet tooth I would definitely recommend it here as it really hit the spot!

There's no better place to grab some bbq than Bigg Smoak whenever you're in Steinbach…read more This place is pretty popular but luckily there's tons of parking. They have an extensive menu of all things BBQ. I opted to go for the Family Feast. I wanted to try everything. Ribs, brisket, chicken and sausage. Food was moist, tender and smokey. Great flavor throughout. I also enjoyed the onion rings and cole slaw. They really complemented the bbq. One of my favorite bbq places hands down.

+.5 for service This…read moreis your premier standard for BBQ restaurants in Manitoba. Your other true alternatives in the province aside from some food trucks are Famous Daves (not nearly as good) or Blue Haze (fine but questionable owners). The restaurant is busy for a reason; the food is that good. My standard order is usually the Bigg Q, though I go Little Q if I'm not that hungry because the portions are huge. Love the pulled pork here, and brisket's always the standard to order. I had the beef link in my most recent visit too, and I liked that as well. I always go with the deluxe mac n cheese for my side as I'm a mac n cheese fanatic. Service is excellent here, I actually left my jacket my last visit and they were so kind to allow one of my coworkers who lives in Steinbach to pick it up and give it back to me in the office. They didn't need to but I really appreciated what they did! Is it the best BBQ ever? I'm sure there are better options outside the province, but this is definitely top tier for Manitoba.

Our server, Zane, was terrific. He had a great sense of humor, was attentive without hovering, and made us feel well taken care of throughout lunch. Everyone at the table loved their meal. My sister ordered the Arancini as her entrée and polished off every bite. I kept things light with the Caesar salad topped with grilled chicken but substituted an oil-and-vinegar dressing instead of the traditional Caesar. The chicken was perfectly grilled, the salad was fresh, and the portion was generous. My husband ordered the pasta, and the kitchen was happy to substitute a spicy tomato sauce for the rosé sauce, which we really appreciated. My brother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed the Piri Piri Chicken. We also discovered a fantastic Canadian Riesling from Tawse Winery in the Niagara region. The only disappointment was the limited by-the-glass wine selection, so we ended up ordering a bottle instead. Not a huge issue, but it would be nice to have a few more options by the glass. A couple of tips for first-time visitors: parking is paid street parking, and the restaurant can be a little tricky to find. Look for the colorful striped exterior of the Mere Hotel--the restaurant is tucked behind it along the river. Overall, we had a terrific experience. Great food, excellent service, a beautiful waterfront setting, and a relaxed atmosphere made this one of our favorite lunches in Winnipeg. We'd definitely come back.

The different contrast made it an undesirable combination. Told the waiter, who was not very nice, even from the get go! He just took the plate without trying to fix or make it "right". He came back and I inquired, " so, you're not going to fix or rectify this " "uh, I took it off your bill" and walked away. Was not very welcoming. My friends even said so. There were interesting art pieces on the wall but didn't really look around. I got a pizza (vegan) it was meh... I don't really want pizza. Then my friends got the calamari which they loved; along with a pasta and some beef entree which they both loved. Probably will not ever go back.
