Bistro on Notre Dame - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Nous avons soupé un vendredi soir sur la terrasse tranquille derrière le restaurant. Nous avons été servi par Rich, un charmant serveur qui connaît bien son menu, est fier de ses produits et est remplis d'une belle joie de vivre sans être invasif. Le chef manie bien les épices, j'ai pris la Jambalaya et une tarte au chocolat et aux beurre d'arachides fouetté. Ma femme a pris le MB and gravy. Ce sont des plats riches mais très savoureux.

Belle découverte!

Must try: bannock (phenomenal), duck (cooked perfectly, smoky), steak & oyster mushroom (the mushroom tasted really great)

Could have been five but honey chips were burnt so it tasted bitter. The onion rings was also burnt and over battered (the batter's seasoning didn't also match the pickle onion). The meat platter was also dried (bison and morel are usually lean and they cooked it well-done plus they put it on a hot skillet). Otherwise I think it would have been 5 star

This place is such a unique gem in Winnipeg. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly and cool owner and a menu to explore head to toe! I was in Winnipeg last month for a work trip and went there with my colleague and loved the whole experience. Going back this week and will pay at least a couple of visits here! I came from Toronto with a ton of different restaurants but had never came across this kind of a fusion menu!
That ricotta cheesecake 😍

It's a unique experience for sure. If you'e up for some new food this is the place. They serve all kinds of wild meat. My favorite was definitely the duck it's so tender and they have grilled mushroom that was also tasty. It was quite pricey so be prepared to spend quite a bit but for the experience it's worth it.

Tried Bistro on Notre Dame for dinner tonight. The atmosphere was cozy and the serving staff went over the top to make sure you were comfortable.
The meal was delicious. We got the lake and steak for the table and the brussel sprouts. The smoked duck breast was our favorite. Although the bison tenderloin and walley were both fantastic. Overall it was great experience and I can't wait come back to try their brunch menu.

Mellow local vibe. Friendly staff and clean facilities. True supporters of their local community from the food they’re sourcing down to the local furniture made by Prairie Barnwood.
I had the Honeyberry Sour as a pre-meal drink. Nice balance of berry and tart flavor, not overly sweet like most cocktails I’ve had at other restaurants.
Of course I had to have the poutine, as I haven’t been in Canada for almost two years and the US can never make it right! 🙂
The poutine was perfectly balanced with fresh potatoes, curds, and duck fat brown gravy. Still sizzling when it arrived at my table. Excellent down to the last bite.
After lunch, I had Nonsuch Belgian Peach. And of course, also amazing! Earthy flavors balanced by the peach aftertaste.
I strongly recommend making a stop for a meal if you’re in the neighborhood.

Bistro offers a dedication to local fare that is worthy of support. I believe they source everything they reasonably can from Manitoba - inquire with the staff for full details.
Food is the most critical aspect of a restaurant, and Bistro offered very creative dishes. My friends and I tried a variety of the menu and loved items such as the soup and fries. The sandwiches were a bit dry / salty and could have been better balanced. Still, we all appreciated the use of local ingredients!
Definitely give Bistro a try! They’re made of what’s real.

Ordered catering for a lunch event on short notice. It was incredible! Bannock with butters, pickled vegetables, fish and more. The chips were a fan favourite — highly recommend. They provided signage for the food. They were helpful, friendly and easy to work with.
