    two plates of food on a table
    Jacqueline T.

    My first visit to Bistro Dansk was at lunch. My husband and I were the first patrons there, as we got there right when they had just opened. We both ended up ordering the Dansk schnitzel ($13.95), which consisted of a "lunch portion" of breaded pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes, and the option of either mixed vegetables or sweet and sour cabbage. I opted for the sweet and sour cabbage, and my husband inquired about switching the roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables/sweet and sour cabbage for their danish style potato salad, which they were able to accommodate for us. I was really surprised by the size of the schnitzels, considering it was only a lunch portion. I can not even imagine what the dinner portions are like. The schinitzels were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My husband thought it was quite good, and that it was kind of like a tonkatsu or Japanese deep-fried pork cutlet, and my thoughts were the same. I didn't get to try his potato salad, but my husband really enjoyed it. I also liked my sweet and sour cabbage, which went well together with the schnitzel. We were also provided with complimentary bread and butter as we waited for our food. We left feeling very full after our meal. The next time we come here, we would probably just get a schnitzel to share and try one of the other dishes on their lunch menu.

    I went to the Bistro Dansk for dinner tonight and again it is still consistently one of the best restaurants in Winnipeg. I had the appetizer Cesar salad to start and the other diners had the spicy mushrooms, both were very good. I had the Morbradbof and the other diners with me had the half chicken and Filet Maria Teresia. All were great! I have been eating at the Bistro Dansk for over 20 years and I can confidently say that I have never had a bad bite of food there. Great food at reasonable prices and huge portions. I cannot think of a better Winnipeg restaurant in its category!

    Wow yum! I'm a huge fan of places that is worth my $ and I judge it in terms of quantity, taste and service. I came in to get takeout at 8:45pm and greeted by the hostess who asked the chef to whip a schitnzel up for me. When she said she'd add the menu to the box, i didn't know what she was meaning, until I saw the BIG box full of my food! I got mounds of chicken schitnzel, a full size baguette, a whole thing of roasted potatoes, a full thing of cabbage, and no one told me that the chocolate eclair was a full size cream puff! Wow this is ridiculously awesome. Granted, I got takeout and I suspect the meal in house wouldn't have been so grand, but still awesome. The Schnitzel was as good as I expected. The breading was thin, but still crunchy. The chicken a bit dry, but good with lemon on it. The potatoes were perfect, and I liked the cabbage. THe french loaf would have been better warm, but it was toasted to perfection and moist on the inside. The place looked like a small euro lodge, and the hostess was really friendly. I totally recommend this to anyone who's looking for a hearty cozy meal.

    One of the greatest restaurants in the city. Totally family owned and run- from the homemade soups to the world class schnitzel, this place does it right. Portions are very large, and reflect a wide variety. For lunch, the open faced roast beef sandwich is tender and moist, and the chicken livers are to die for- sautèd with mushrooms, onion and bacon. For dinner, items like the kyling(roast stuffed chicken) and rainbow trout round out a fantastic and rewarding menu. Wine list is on point. You have to check this place out!!

    dinner size - chicken schnitzel - comes with two sides as well

    Bistro Dansk is the epitome of comfort food. It's the type of place where you get amazing value for your money because it's really two meals in one and you are put into a food induced coma after finishing part 1 of 2 meals. So forget your diet and loosen up your belt or better yet, wear your comfy pants if you're going to eat here! Who knew the Danes had such comfort foods! For $18.75 - get yourself their infamous dinner size Chicken Schnitzel meal! Seriously, it is an amazing meal. I was first introduced to this dish about 9 years ago and I've had this dish several times since and I think it gets better each time. You get about 3 large pieces of thinly pounded chicken schnitzel (think of it similar to the Italian version of "scallopini"), then you get a nice helping of their famous O'Brien potatoes which is the most amazing warm potato salad (not the mayo kind you might think of) along with pickled cabbage or steamed veggies. I like the pickled cabbage more as it gives the dish some sweet & sour balance but the veggies are nice too but nothing extraordinary. And you also get a nice serving of baguette which is crunch outside and soft inside - better when it's warm. The chicken schnitzel has the crunchiest breading ever and never tastes greasy despite being pan fried. The chicken is perfectly cooked and tastes very juicy. Now the breading doesn't have a ton of flavour so squeeze some lemon juice on there as the dish does come with a few wedges of lemon. Then eat the schnitzel with a bite of the O'Brien potatoes and some cabbage and you'll be in heaven. I can have a pretty big appetite but could not finish this dinner size entree! It was lovely for lunch the next day. Oh and all of their soups are amazing. The soups actually taste like their cooked with with love and passion. The menu isn't very large but what they do serve is very good Danish cuisine. The staff are always oh so warm and friendly here and the interior offers a very cozy feel. Though the tables are a bit close together. The restaurant does give that feel of an old wooden ski lodge. Just a warning as you when you do take out, you will be leaving with a box to carry all the styrofoam boxes. A take out order for two looks like you're carrying out out enough food for 4! The doors open oddly as you exit so that caused a bit of trouble when I was leaving with all the food! This place has been around for many years and had quite the cult following even before it was profiled on Food Network's "You Gotta Eat Here." But I'm so happy that the secret is out on this place. Parking is wherever you can find it on Sherbrook. This place is located just north of Misericordia hospital (on Sherbrook), just a few steps from Boon Burger.

    On my final full vacation day in Winnipeg in early July, I had a hankering for schnitzel. I have…read morenever had any here. I did a search and Sam's appeared. Sam's has been around for over twenty years. I had never heard about it, likely because I didn't frequent too many eateries on Ness Avenue when I lived in Winnipeg. I had to visit. It was easy to find Sam's. The huge sign helped. It's across the street from a 7-Eleven. This eatery has a drive-thru. I normally like hitting one, but decided to dine in. I backed my car into a parking spot and walked it, passing by a couple of bikers who were about to leave. I was greeted by the nicest man. He said that I could sit anywhere and he'd come over. I sat in a cozy corner. I got a menu. I was happy looking at everything. I got the following items: - Red berry hibiscus lemonade - Chicken schnitzel in hunter-style sauce with spaetzle The hunter-style sauce consisted of mushrooms, onions, and light garlic that are sautéed in a pan with clarified butter and gravy. It sounded perfect. My red berry hibiscus lemonade came out first. It was refreshing and yummy. I don't like lemonade with a ton of sugar. This one was perfect. It had a hint of sweetness. I love hibiscus and lemon together. It was a generous size, too. My chicken schnitzel plate came out next. The schnitzel was delicious. The chicken was juicy with a thin, crispy coating around it. The hunter-style sauce was delicious. I love anything with garlic, mushrooms, and onions. This sauce was divine. I haven't had spaetzle in a while. I was fortunate to have some when I was in Frankfurt nearly a decade ago. This spaetzle reminded me of what I had in Frankfurt. It was yummy and authentic. This place had German chocolate cake, which I love. However, I was too stuffed to get some. Next time! I paid at the counter. I used my credit card and tipped. It was a smooth transaction. I needed to use the washroom. I had to ask the man to unlock the door. It's a single stall for the women's. It was clean. No complaints. This place is a gem. It offers authentic German good eats. I'd return again when I'm back in the city. (333)

    First impression was the limited parking on the property and no on street parking available. The…read moredining room was quite nice and contrasted by a dirty carpet. They don't let customers use their WiFi yet they have three hotspots? That is really poor for a business in the hospitality industry. The servers were pleasant although I waited 5 minutes to find out it was seat yourself, 5 more minutes for table service and there were few people in the place. The server came back with my drink 1 minute later which was great but then wanted my order...after 1 minute? Please, give customers some time to look at the menu! I waited another ten minutes before another server came to take my order. In the meantime the same server took care of two new tables of customers who had their meals long before me. That is REALLY POOR SERVICE! Also, the servers need to come around a few times. I waited a long time for a refill of hot water while the servers buzzed around refilling coffee for others quite frequently. The menu has lots of variety including all day breakfast and prices were quite affordable. I had the evening special - Tacos with rice and refried beans. It was very good, reasonable portions and priced quite reasonably at $13.19. The kitchen is open concept and you can see everything. That is a double edged sword for the business owners. I was not impressed to see a cook on ladder cleaning ceiling and lights at a time when customers are there. All that dust and dirt is coming down on food prep counters and food directly below. It's a serious health and safety issue. Did any of that junk get in my food? Toppers is OK but I'm in no rush to return.

    If you like Mennonite-style Chicken Noodle Soup, this is the place, based on personal experience…read more Toppers had a fire and after the renovations is very clean (used to be very dirty). However, if it's service you're after, chicken strips or breakfast, I cannot in good conscience recommend you go here. In late Feb of 2021 we decided to go for dinner. Service was acceptable (if you don't mind flagging down waitress for a coffee refill), however the chicken strips were incredibly over-cooked and dry. Even my 2 year old (who is happy like most kids that age eating basically anything--dirt included) spit the dry chicken out lol! Forward to today, we thought we'd try it one more time and see how their breakfasts were. Meals came and still no cutlery, so I had to ask for it. Shredded hash browns still had a slight crunch from not being cooked enough (yelp!), and the scrambled eggs were nearly room-temp-clammy-cool. It should be noted that we watched our meals on the 'shelf' in the kitchen, waiting to be delivered, for ~7-8 minutes, so this pretty much explains the lack of heat. Upon paying, I was asked how the meal was by the waitress/cashier and responded by telling her the facts of our experience, listed above. She said she was sorry we weren't happy with it, and said she brought our meals as quick as she could, as if feeling guilty. She seemed somewhat put off by my honesty in sharing the issues, so I told her that I only shared because she had asked me how it was. I honestly wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. Then, the 'Topper' was to hear the OWNER grumbling under his breath, refusing to make eye contact with me, his customer. When I said "what was that?, I didn't hear you..." he repeated, without looking up, "It's nice to hear everybody is in a good mood today". Well, my friend, I was..,and still am in a good mood, in spite of getting 2 sub-par breakfasts and paying you money. Having owned my own restaurant in the past, I was appalled that a proprietor would be this rude to a paying customer, so yes: that will be our last time being patrons of 'Toppers'.
