Best Authentic Restaurants in Winnipeg / Manitoba

We had a lovely evening, sharing the porterhouse special that included prawns and scallops. It was a busy night there but we were served immediately and courses were timed perfectly. Our only regret was that we had no room for the tiramisu!

Food was very good and our server Matti was AMAZING!! Very attentive and high product knowledge.

My wife & I would give Vida Cucina Italia 6 Stars, if we could! The 5-Course Winter Menu Tasting Dinner with wine pairings was an absolutely epic dining experience! We enjoy fine dining on special occasions, and we had been eager to visit this restaurant… so when we saw that this special tasting dinner was on my wife’s birthday, I immediately booked a table! From the moment we walked in the door of the hotel Wednesday evening we were treated with the highest level of service by every employee of the Fort Garry Hotel, the Oval Room Brasserie, and Vida Cucina Italia whom we encountered, plus the bartender was great and made us delicious cocktails, our dinner server was terrific, and we thought the attentive, friendly sommelier was outstanding! We enjoyed every course and pairing so much that choosing a favourite is a difficult task, however I find myself still dreaming about that Il Falcone wine, and my wife insists she’s never tasted such delicious scallops! They even dressed up my wife’s dessert in celebration of her birthday, which we know many fancy places won’t do, so that was a nice touch. My wife and I were trying to get a photo together in the hotel lobby before we left, when one of the Vida staff offered to help, and she got some of the best photos of us that anyone has ever taken of us! Thank you for the most special evening… we will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

Nice evening with good friends celebrating my new job. Server Alexis was friendly and attentive. Always love wine Tuesdays!!

New experience for our party of six, except me. Food was surprisingly good and service was impeccable. I had eaten Georgian while living in nearby Sochi and knew how good and unique it could be. All my group would like to return. Everything was outstanding, but pick your spots on internet in advance. Our waitress was outstanding, but was serving an entire room by herself. Shashlik was very good, as was everything else. Don’t bother with Caucasus wines; too sweet. Beer served was magnificent; Belgians can’t be beat. On the whole, I would love to eat there again, but live 1,600 miles away. Next time I’m in the frigid north, you can bet that I will be there with compadres.
