The bison ramen is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. I know ramen, from Hokkaido to Nagasaki champon, from fancy, to traditional to tachigui. But this one here in Winnipeg is unique, local, soulful, rich, and mystical. I was going to criticize the soup being too little, but after devouring the last bite, I realized it was perfect, and most other ramen has too much. The service and artful ambiance are delightful and authentic. Beyond that, I'm speechless. read more

On a short visit to Winnie I ended up here twice and would have gone a few more times as well if I didn't have to fly out so soon! First-nation-inspired bites with a modern and eclectic ambiance makes for a terrific dining experience. The first time I had the poutine with bison and a sweetgrass lemonade. These were twice as appetizing as they sound, and do they ever sound appetizing. So impressed was I from this first visit that I not only slipped into a strange, passive voice for the last few sentences, but also that I returned for lunch the next day. On my second visit, I sampled the bannock eggs benedict with bison and some frybread to go. Once again, every last bite hit. Shout out to my server both days, whose name I never got (might be Robyn from other reviews I've seen recently?) She was so congenial and attentive, in spite of her having to take care of 5-10 tables at a time on consecutive days. She made great small talk and was a tremendous ambassador for the restaurant, for which no advocacy is necessary: the food and atmosphere speak for themselves. Can't wait to go back again: thanks, FCB! read more

We were in Winnipeg for a night before a trip to Churchill. I wanted a great, indigenous owned restaurant, and we found it. Wow! Great service- amazing food! The spinach dip was to die for as was the bison steak and bison ramen bowl. Stellar all around. read more

A lively bistro! Packed at lunchtime on a weekday and very loud (hard to hear a conversation). Baked goods look amazing! I got the bison burger: the grass fed bison burger was extremely flavourful! Thin patty and lean meat, I personally don't think you need all the condiments to cover up the taste.The sauce is quite sweet, had a very thin slice of cheese and shredded lettuce too. The bun was sweet! Like a fried doughnut with bread texture The salad was nice! Shredded lettuce, wild rice, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and vinagrette read more

Being from BC I get to eat a lot of fish but I don't get to eat freshwater fish much. And especially to taste pickrel which I grew up eating in Intario but only really get to eat when I come to Manitoba. Now you should know that a lot of places that serve pickerel serve a farmed fish from places like Kazakhstan (seriously). But not Feast. Their fish is local and fresh as is the wild rice they serve with it. Complete that with some roasted veggies and a little slab of baked bannock and you have the perfect fish dish. I have never had pickerel this exquisitely cooked. It was moist and flaked and perfectly seared. Great service and a lovely vibe and you have an excellent well hosted experience. Five stars for feast and a hearty best wishes for their continued success as they build and grow and explore Indigenous cuisine and ingredients. read more

Awesome food and comfortable atmosphere. Went for lunch and had a delicious meal. Local ingredients make for a better meal!! Love this place! read more

Place is super chill and comfy. Been here a few times and the food always hits. Service is quick and everyone's nice. Our server Robyn was hilarious and somehow handled a ton of tables like a boss. Love it here. read more

While in Winnipeg, I visited Feast Cafe Bistro. This is a unique Indigenous restaurant with amazing food. I started off with the Butternut Squash Soup with coconut milk and a hint of ginger with corn chips. This was one of the best soups I've ever had! The combination was fantastic and it was very flavourful. I then had the Slow-Roasted Rosemary Manitoba Bison, served with potato squash mash, seasonal vegetables, horseradish, gravy jus, & wild blueberry compote. It was without a doubt an outstanding dish. The bison was soft, lean, and very rich in flavour, and the combination of the mashed potatoes and the wild blueberry compote skyrocketed the flavour of the dish because it added a bit of sourness and sweetness to activate all the flavours of the mouth. The service was outstanding and the establishment was clean. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits or lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba! read more

When I came to Winnipeg, I found this cute restaurant that I knew I had to try before I left. Visiting Canada, I was able to learn alot about the Native American culture, and it really sparked my curiousity in indigenous foods. This local business came up which was indigenous owned, and supported the community & I needed to try it out! I ended up getting the bison chili tipi taco - which was DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend this big time. The taco sits on bannock bread and is topped with bison chilli, this delicious salsa, corn, lettuce & this delicious maple sauce thing! It was sooooo yummy I finished it in one go even though it was so big. My boyfriend got the butternut squash bannock pizza - and this was so delicious as well. Very fresh ingredients & unique flavors - you absolutely must give this restaurant a try! read more

Truly fabulous food! We had: Feast House Salad Field greens, cucumber, feta, red onion topped with toasted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, wild rice & homemade Saskatoon berry vinaigrette. It was really a great salad and it was a large portion. After that we had the Manitoba Pickerel with a fresh and tasty dill sauce. We also ate a mountain of their smashed mash potatoes! Next time we are in Winnipeg, we will eat there again to see what new items they have added to their menu! read more

Here from out of town. The food is very good. Gamey, local, fresh. Its also something quite distinctive-the enormous emphasis on bison and wild game is something. The ambiance is relaxed, but delicate. And boy was the service attentive and nice. Knew when to pop in and when to leave alone to enjoy the fine food. All around a real treasure. I can see why it came very highly recommended. read more

I think the concept of indigenous food restaurants is something that should be more popular and widespread. I felt honored to be able to eat here. The Bannock bread was really tasty and unique for me, I've never tried this type of bread before. I loved my "homemade very berries ice tea". I had 2 servings of it. Then I ended up getting the vegan burger with the bannock buns. I think I would have given it a 5 stars if it had more of something like vegan cheese or a more saucy sauce. Don't get me wrong though, the burger was still delicious. The fries were good but average. The service was nice and the decorations in the restaurant were really beautiful. I loved the black and white photos with a pop of color here and there. read more

Food is overpriced, staff is rude and unwelcoming and the food is subpar. I had to pay an extra 2$ for guacamole and the disrespectful server "forgets" to add it to my pick up order. If you look at the google reviews, the owner gets upset and blames the customers for giving bad reviews on her food and staff but cannot recognize she's the one common denominator. read more

Great place, was there on august 20th for indigenous experience! Service was great and food was delish! Highly highly recommend and we'll be going back! Ravioli with shredded bison, cheddar bison burger and the rice was so light and fluffy! Great tastes! read more

The food here is soooo good. The menu alone makes your mouth water. Brought my husband and mother here for a lunch while in town cause we are looking for catering for a summer event and we weren't disappointed. We ordered the Bison Poutine, Pickerel Sliders, Bison Burger, Bison Chili, and a few dessert Bannock. We shared around the table and everything was delicious. The only dish that you could say was subpar was the pickerel sliders as there was only two very small pieces of fish for such a large bannock but aside from that, it was great. In terms of ambience, don't expect anything fancy, its a bit worn for wear and more of a casual spot, which is no problem if you know. Service was efficient but nothing overtly nice or special, I think she came, took our order, got our food and that's it. Definitely recommend. read more

Wonderful little gem here in Winnipeg! Went here for dinner for the first time with my mom before our Fringe show at West end cultural center last night and we were very impressed! The restuarant has a cozy, comfortable yet modern feel. We both admired the lovely aborignal art and beautiful plants. I loved seeing the old theater ceiling tiles too. Our waitress was wonderful. The service was quick and excellent. The menu has unique & creative Manitoba options all of which are very reasonably priced. I am vegetarian and there are several options to choose from which is something I look for in choosing a restuarant. I ordered the butternut squash bannock pizza. My mom ordered the a chiptole chicken bannock taco. We also shared the wildberry bannock for dessert. We both really enjoyed our meals. Both of our meals were perfect portion sizes, but dessert is always a fun thing for my mom and I to try. Our meals were flavorful & fresh. We both thought the bannock was incredible. We loved how the bannock is used in different kinds of meals from burger buns to pizza base to our dessert topped with fruit! It was fluffy and very fresh. We couldnt help but notice others in the restuarant meals and how they all looked fantastic. We will be comming back soon! read more

A very cute little cafe across from the WECC, Feast is a pillar of the west end community. Chef Christa creates delicious dishes that are a 'modern take' in traditional First Nations foods (think bannock tacos and bison burgers). The staff are fantastic but service can be a little slow some days so give yourself plenty of time. I cannot get enough of the butternut squash bannock pizza! read more

5 stars. Had the bison burger with bannock. Excellent! The homemade gravy for the fries was great! Topped it off with the homemade strawberry rhubarb pie! I'll be back! read more

Excellent food, lovely & arty decor, great service. I had the bison chili which was fantastic. Others had tacos and bison burger. All good. Highly recommended! read more

Had lunch today, my partner had the bison cheeseburger and I had the bison chili. The burger had a nice dark crust on it, moist inside. With the bun and toppings it was a delicious mess. The chili was tasty, spiced well, topped with melted cheese. The bannock was hot and a good combination with chili. Both meals were excellent, served promptly. read more

Wow! the atmosphere was amazing, beautiful art, cozy yet classy. Love the bar; makes me want to come enjoy a nice glass of wine (: Server Janeen was awesome, great attitude, no waiting and she had a lot going on for one server. Glad to see Aboriginal staff working there (: Owner, who is stunning I might add (; helps her staff! Good prices and food was amazing! hands down best eggs Banny(bannock) I have ever had! Good beer selection but I would love to see a few microbrew taps and some quality wine in there. read more

Delicious food a new take on classic dishes with good prices and sizable portions good service 5/5 would definitely go again.

This restaurant always serves up delicious indigenous based food giving great value for wonderful comfort food served in style. I recommend it to everybody. We recently held our wedding dinner here and everybody raved about the great food. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't showcase a wider variety of their great options. Be sure to go hungry because you will want to eat all of there generous servings, read more

Ah may zing!!! Such great food and the absolute best service. I can't get enough. And if you're not sold yet the prices are super reasonable. read more

Had lunch here with my partner and a friend. Cool ambience, lovely windows at the front. The house salad was quite good, but the smoked salmon bannock sandwich was delicious and satisfying in a way that food seldom is. So good that I will probably make a point to visit next time I'm anywhere in the Prairies. + support Indigenous businesses! read more

Nice ambience. Service and food good. The potato cakes were a little on the burned side but my son really enjoyed his eggs 'banny'.

This place was incredible. Lovely interior. Great service. The menu offers lots of options. The food is just incredible. I had the bison burger, the husband had the powwow taco, and we ended up ordering a pizza take home. Every bite is fantastic! Probably the best burger and fries in the city. The taco was awesome and the pizza is a MUST try. We can't wait to go back. I only wish they were open more evenings! read more

Went for breakfast everything was fantastic. I had the squash cakes instead of hash browns, they were very good.

We were incredibly excited to visit this restaurant and made reservations for a large party 2 weeks in advanced. When we arrived on time for our table we were told that they were working on our table. The place was clearly full and they had CLEARLY lost our reservation but wouldn't admit it. We stood in a very awkward and cramped entrance for 20 minutes while various staff came over to make excuses. I finally asked a woman if she was the manager and she corrected me that she was in the owner. There were no apologies for this, she claimed it was the tables fault for overstaying their time on our table. We were left to scramble for alternative plans on a Friday night at 7 pm.... And we're not compensated at all for this horrendous experience. I work in the service industry and this was handled terribly I understand accidents happen but this was awful. I'm sure the food is great but we didn't even get an opportunity to try it despite 2 week notice we were coming. read more

I want to start off by saying that the atmosphere, pricing, and food at Feast is great. However, my criticism is based on the fact that I tried VERY hard to make Feast work as a wedding caterer, but they really ended up letting me down. I would absolutely NOT recommend pursuing for any type of catering. Here are the facts: - My fiance and I contacted the owner of Feast in January, after first approaching in-person at the restaurant in December. Our wedding is in October. We indicated what we would be looking for, and tried to make an appointment to meet in-person to discuss details. The owner let me know that she was interested in working with us, but would be on vacation in late January, and would get back to me when she returned. - On February 25, I followed up. She was back from vacation, just hadn't bothered to reply yet. She asked us to come to the restaurant for a meeting that week, and we set the date. - The owner cancelled, asked us to reschedule. We gladly accommodated. - We met in person, decided on menu options, and were promised a follow-up and tasting soon. - Fast-forward to May- we still haven't been updated, offered a tasting, been quoted pricing, or seen a contract. We chased down the owner and finally scheduled a tasting. - The owner cancelled that tasting, and asked to reschedule. We accommodated. - When we arrived for the tasting, we were told that the owner was sick and unable to meet with us. However, we were given portions of the food we had talked about, and spoke to the owner on the phone. We told her that we would like to confirm the menu, pricing and timing. We asked for a contract and were told that one would be prepared. - Finally in mid-June, we had to track down the owner and ask again for a contract. At this point we are becoming very skeptical of Feast's ability to cater- we have seen poor organization, cancelled appointments, and bad communication. - We are told by the owner that she does not provide contracts, as she sees no need for one, but that if we want to prepare a contract she will consider signing it. This seems wildly unprofessional, and this confirms our fears that despite desperately wanting Feast's amazing food at our wedding (and being prepared to spend whatever they asked in fees) we cannot risk it. - At this point it is July, our wedding is October, and we are scrambling to find a caterer who is available for our price-point and can provide the quality of food we need. Very disappointed, as my fiance and I worked ten times as hard as Feast at trying to reach out, maintain communication, nail down pricing/menu etc. and were finally told that they can't be bothered to draw up a simple contract. My suspicion is that the business may be burning the candle at both ends, so to speak, instead of focusing on customer experience. read more
