To sample the most dedicated locavore cuisine in Winnipeg, book a table at Fusion Grill and be treated to an experience as delectable as it is transparently socially responsible.
Chef Lorna Murdoch remains an unwavering champion of farm to table cooking, pushing the envelope with her wild imaginations. Along with owner Scot McTaggart, they have made it their mission to find local farmers, producers and foragers and tantalize diners with thrilling dishes that change how we think about eating. Behind the bar, an all-star cast of Canadian wines is proudly displayed.
Grass-fed bison for example, is sourced locally by the animal, captivating sustainable focused foodies and international visitors with rotating cuts prepared with precision. Bison is celebrated enthusiastically during Ciao! Dine About Winnipeg, featured in all three courses of a very special bison tasting menu.
Equal attention is given to a veg-centric CDAW option, highlighting the kitchen’s prowess for bold flavours.
Sweet bites of novel and delicious bison fudge, wild rice ice cream covered in Saskatoon berries and chocolate sauce or heavenly apple crumble in a caramel sauce spiked with Newfoundland Screech make a memorable ending to a magnificent meal.

At Hermanos, culinary authenticity is matched with warm, charming hospitality that reminds us why we love dining out with friends! The menu hops enthusiastically throughout the once Spanish empire delivering delicacies from all over South America.
Visit during Ciao! Dine About Winnipeg and be spoiled for choice. This resto extends its special prix fixe three course meals in two price categories: $39 and $49.
Try an Argentine strip – complete with chimichurri, mashed potatoes and vegetables (often a la carte at steakhouses) or opt for a baby Cabrera – a grass fed 10oz ribeye grilled with Cabrera seasoning paired with the same sides. For those looking beyond beef, they’ve got you covered there too.
Sumptuous desserts cap off the meal with South American flair, and Najara’s favourite mousse (if you know you know) makes a lasting impression.
This spot is open on Sundays and Mondays, making it a great choice for food lovers on the long weekend. It’s stylish, sexy and delicious. What more could you ask for?

Family spirit radiates from every corner of Greek culture, so it’s no surprise Corydon Avenue’s mainstay Nikos has maintained unwavering allure for three decades. This neighbourhood gem is proof positive that delivering consistent, delicious comfort food with heart is a winning formula.
Dreamy food is delivered to in comforting traditional plates from start to finish. Possibly the best calamari in town comes out of this kitchen, and it can be your culinary adventure during Dine About Winnipeg! Crisp curls of delicately breaded squid are soft, tender, and dissolve on the tongue. Accompanying tzatziki, light as a cloud, adds lemony zing.
True to its Mediterranean roots, Nikos applies lemon liberally. Avgolemono soup teases sour citrus into hearty chicken broth and rice. Each custard-like spoonful delights with textural contrasts. The roasted chicken dinner rewards too, with juicy, lemon infused meat intermingling with oregano-laden potatoes. Staple dishes are the beating heart of the menu, from nutmeg-laced moussaka to gyros loaded to the max.
After the generously portioned entrées, Greek cuisine prevails once again. The light and airy tiramisu brings the meal to a smooth, satisfying close.
Nikos’ has earned its’ status as the city’s go-to for Greek eats – a place that easily becomes the new favourite. Visit now and enjoy a spirit of generosity second to none! Remember to call ahead to let them know when you want to come!
