Best Cozy Restaurants in Winnipeg

Soooo good. Soooo full. 👍🏻💕 Sat at the bar. Lots of fun and great service. Food was top notch.

Great service and delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere!

Food was excellent, service was stellar! We ordered several types of macaroni and cheese, as well as appetizers to share and our server regularly checked back to top up our bread and drinks. Live music added to the ambience. They were responsive to our message requesting a reservation and then also allowed us to add another person. Excellent service and food, allowed us to have our meal and walk right over to the theatre, part of a great night!

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!

One of my faves in Winnipeg. Super tasty dishes, I especially love the cucumber salad, meatballs and the Gnudi. The service is extremely good, I felt our server had the right balance of checking in with us frequently without feeling like we were being interrupted. We were headed to the ballet afterwards and were able to get the full meal and service in the 2 hrs. Being really close to the concert hall is added bonus!
