Great staff and always awesome food! Big fan of the fire cooked pizza! 5 star visit every time! read more

Great place if you're looking for some good comfort food with some quality ingredients. Asparagus in fettuccine. Mussels from PEI. Pizzas with your not-so-average toppings. For something different, try this cozy but always busy place. read more

Bonfire Bistro - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

This place expanded into the space next door adding a lot more seating but it's still a long wait on a Saturday night! It's a very popular casual neighbourhood bistro where a wait of 45 mins and upwards is very much guaranteed on the weekends. Yup...there are no reservations here so I'd suggest visiting during off peak hours or on the week days if you hate waiting. There is no real waiting area as you are just standing on the tiny doorway with a bunch of other hungry diners. They also operate a very popular take out service as well. This place is run by the same owner as "Cafe Carlo," though the menus are a bit different, I definitely prefer "Bonfire Bistro" way more. There's a lot more selections available here than Cafe Carlo. Once you do get seated, the servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the kitchen turns around dishes at a good pace during a full house. They always have a huge list of specials available. They are known for their thin crust wood-fired pizzas ($15-$17) - they work well to share as an appy or a lighter main. We shared the wild mushroom pizza: porcini, portobello and oyster mushrooms with wilted spinach, fresh herbs, stilton blue and mozzarella cheese on roasted garlic sauce. This pizza was surprisingly subtle despite the strong ingredients - they seem to balance each other out. The "Atlantic Salmon" ($22.95) - pan roasted and served over a warm creamy baby potato salad with wilted arugula and asparagus. The salmon was perfectly cooked (medium) and had a nice crispy skin. I wasn't sure about the warm potato salad but I really liked it! It wasn't overly creamy, good seasoning and the potatoes were cooked appropriately. Great price and a decent sized portion! Ambiance is lively but not overly noisy so it provides for a great bistro vibe but you're not shouting to your fellow diners. I'd love to go back but probably on a week night (hopefully the wait isn't so long). read more

Terrible service. Terrible restaurant. Terrible response by owner. Attitude was much more than "forgotten dessert". This is how they treat people who told them about their service. If I could give less than one star I would. Please don't go there as they clearly don't respect customers read more

Bonfire Bistro - Response for owner over complaint about a bad service. Note the dessert was only one aspect of the bad service. - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

A lovely surprise... quaint, local, seasonally-sourced, healthy and innovative restaurant. Pros: -see above -outstanding, personalized service... the waitress was not only attentive to every need, seemed genuinely to love her job and customized my meal from three different items on the menu and did not charge me extra. She even made my friend happy by confirming the bacon was ethically sourced (with a wink, of course) -comfortable, cozy atmosphere with specials written on a chalkboard (that night they had pork tenderloin, soups etc) and a fire oven in the corner... you can watch the chefs bake the pizzas! -the food is outstanding... the menu varied, seasonal, local, healthy, simple but innovative and constantly changing from what I can see... plus, it tastes amazing! -Bonfire Flatbread with hot spinach artichoke and parmesan spread: delicious, not your average doughy flatbread its more light and baked in their oven to give it more of a crunchy outside. The spreads (which were very generous) were piping hot and warm, melty goodness. -Mixed Salad of baby field greens, red onion, currants, toasted pecans, balsamic vinaigrette and crostini; the crostini was plain and dry, but the salad was fresh and delicious, especially the currants and perfectly toasted pecans -Fire-roasted vegetables were a mix of zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and peppers which were well grilled, spiced and toasty warm. Never thought cold lettuce would go well with warm veggies, but it was delicious. -Added spicy prawns to my salad (which was not an option on the menu, but is a pizza topping) which were out of this world... plump, sweet meat perfectly grilled and well spiced (not just your generic hot sauce heat) with a thin glaze. -Wild Mushroom & Maple Bacon Pizza had garlic spread and blue cheese which brought out the flavor of the perfectly cooked mushrooms. Even my friend who doesn't love mushrooms liked these. The crust is perfectly baked and thin, but not too crunchy. -Margherita Pizza: I don't know who Carlo is, but he makes amazing tomato sauce! -Nice wine selection -Great value for the price!!! Cons: -Parking can be tricky on busy nights -We weren't offered dessert, and so I'm pretty sure they don't serve it. Sad because I was hoping after such an excellent meal they might have even better dessert... but I guess they are sticking to what they know. Its commendable that they can admit their weaknesses and not bother ruining their otherwise amazing menu. And I got to keep the night going by heading to another dessert place anyway! -Close at 10:30pm which can be a little early sometimes. -The restaurant is very small... maybe 10 tables and a bar area, which makes for nice ambience (it wasn't noisy at all, in fact, since there was no loud music and quiet conversation with a bustling kitchen which was nice) but I can see having to wait for a bit on busy nights Overall, I can't say enough good things and will definitely be back. Took a gamble on a new place and it definitely paid off. I can't wait to try the Cioppino and see what other specials they come up with. read more

Bonfire Bistro - Mixed salad with Fire-roasted vegetables and Spicy Prawns. - Italian Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

My husband and I visited Bonfire Bistro for lunch. We both had the half pizza lunch special. I had the soup which was fantastic (chorizo black bean chowder) and the vegetarian pizza. My husband had the meat which was salami, yam and black bean (very good) and Caesar salad. The salad was said to be ok. Fast service and cool to watch the pizza's being made. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I went to Bonfire Bistro for the first time last week. We ordered the Prosciutto and Pear pizza, Chicken Pesto pizza and the Pork Tenderloin specialty pizza. In addition, we ordered the Seafood Spinach Linguine. I was quite impressed by the amount of seafood that was served with the pasta and for the value we were paying for, it was totally worth it! Although we were disappointed with the uncooked clams within the seafood pasta, the food and service were both excellent overall! I would still highly recommend it! The only down side to the restaurant is that it does not take any reservations and the maximum group that they take in is 6 people. If you have plans to check out Bonfire Bistro, arrive early to guarantee yourself a spot, otherwise, be prepared for a wait! read more

I LOVE this place! The wood-fired pizzas are to die for! I especially like the Mediterranean Vegetarian. The flavours are magical together. They have a different pizza special every night (not on the regular menu), which is fun to try for a change. They also have pastas and dinner entrée specials, though I'll admit, though I have nothing against them, I come for the pizza. One word of warning: if you decide to try the spicy LaBomba Chicken pizza, it's really spicy! The small restaurant it began as, expanded to include the space next door about a year ago. Still, they prefer not to take reservations (except for some days including New Years Eve, Valentines Day and Mothers Day) so you may have to wait for a table. On the other hand, if you're in a small group, you can often get seats at the bar, which is a fun place to sit and watch the pizzas being made. read more

This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and the food is amazing. I have thus far tried and loved the roast beet salad, balsamic chicken with roasted vegetables, and spinach and bacon pizza. I have not had anything I did not love as yet! read more

Great food and service in a non pretentious environment. Had the specials they were great

A great restaurant in the less busy part of Corydon. Great for intimate dinners. Food has consistently been good, with interesting specials. Can get full though as it is a smaller restaurant. read more

I dined here tonight with a friend. I had the gnocchi with short rib. So delicious! Meat was fork tender, gnocchi was soft and tasty. Server was very pleasant. read more

Between the pizza and the pasta we had some suggested by a very good server this was a very enjoyable meal. If you wondering the meal with wine for the two of use cam to just over $60, other then I think wine is marked up to much at most restaurants it was a tasty meal. We are planning to make it back again soon. read more

Good location with parking and excellent wood fired pizza with different flavour combinations and reasonably priced!

I always enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere at Bonfire. Menu is perfect in size. Great feature dishes daily as well. The place fills up quick for good reason and they don't take reservations. Can't wait for their new additions to the restaurant. read more

very long wait on Saturday night. we were waiting line for over 20 mins and no one came to take our name or tell us how long the expected wait was. Wish the staff were more organized. After that experience I won't waste my time ever going back there. read more

This restaurant is not child friendly. They don't have high chairs which clearly says, "families are not welcome.". The lady told us we have to bring our own. Sad that they want to miss out on a huge demographic. I would never take my family here. Customer service is rude and unaccommodating. read more

The food was mostly well-cooked, and the environment was nice and welcoming. Service staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are slightly on the high side, but overall a worthwhile experience. read more
