This place is awesome, and definitely worth making a part of any trip to the Leaf. Actually, it's worth visiting even if you aren't planning on touring the Leaf. While clearly a nice restaurant, the atmosphere isn't pretentious at all. It's chill, people are friendly, and I was really impressed by how calm everyone seemed in the open kitchen. The menu I guess could be described as "New Canadian", and I'd say it's got something for everyone, but is focused enough not to overwhelm. We got three of the small plates to start with and share: the focaccia, the chorizo spiced tacos, and the roasted squash gnocchi. The tacos are actually made with soy curls (a soy-based protein that actually has the texture of chicken) flavored with chorizo spices. Our meat-eating (and meat-loving) parents who usually dislike tofu and any meat alternatives actually really liked the tacos. I tried some of the mole and it was so good that I ended up pouring some of the extra on the focaccia! The focaccia itself was pillowy and perfect with a unique and delicious strawberry infused whipped butter. The gnocchi was by far my favorite dish of the night. The contrast of the pillowy gnocchi to the pumpkin seed brittle, and the sweet squash to the savory mushroom xo, all make for delight and interest in every bite. For mains, I got the coconut korma with soy curls, and my dinner buddies got the house salads (one with chicken and one with soy curls) and the linguine with spinach creme sauce. Props to the kitchen for very satisfying portions on the large plates. We were all stuffed by the end and I actually needed a bit of help at the end to finish mine. The korma was delicious, with fragrant fluffy rice and flavorful soy protein. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes, and the only downside was that we were too stuffed to try and of the desserts, which sounded amazing. I'm not that particular about service in general, but when it's good, I can definitely notice, and the service here is really, really good. Our server, Karla (or Carla?) was so attentive, so helpful, kept us well hydrated, and paced everything out perfectly. Overall, our experience here was incredibly positive and would recommend! read more

We really enjoyed all of our food at Gather. The restaurant itself is beautiful and located inside the Leaf. We started with the olives and corn dip/chips, which were both really good. For entrees, we had the curry and the pork tenderloin, which we would highly recommend both. Definitely worth adding to your list of places to eat in Winnipeg. read more

Great service, our waitress was great. The food came out super fast and was delicious. I got the burger which was cooked perfectly, and my husband scarfed down the hot honey chicken wrap. Really nice vibes inside! read more

A restaurant in a botanical garden?!?! Sign me up! What a gorgeous patio! Loved the mixed drinks. I had the risotto with scallops and mushrooms. I would have wished for more or larger scallops but maybe I'm used to San Diego scallops. The chocolate cake was a delight. My husband ordered the bread pudding and the waiter did not lie, it was fantastic. Bananas were grown in the Leaf. Pet friendly when sitting outdoors. Make this your definite stop when in Winnipeg!! read more

Talk about highway Robbery!! Shrimp pasta dish (Not Fresh Made Pasta) and small bowl - $30 Rice Bowls are about $25 and 90% rice to 10% Extra Charge for meat - Chicken $8, Shrimp (6) $13... Salads are large bowl of Spring mix with 2 Radish Flowers- $23... Pouring Tap Water from fancy decanter doesn't make it taste better!?! No ice. Service was Slow and pleasant because of the Surprising 18% ADDED tip to your bill when paying!!! Cocktails average $15. Carpets were dirty. Oh yes and the Hair in the Food and Cocktails was a Shocker!!! Overall NOT Impressive and way overpriced!!! read more

Fabulous location. Food was really good. Staff was so nice. Try the mushroom calamari. It was so delicious. They were very accommodating. We had people showing up at different times and they made sure we all had a great experience no matter when they showed up in the evening. Really appreciated them making us all feel welcomed and taken care of read more

Amazing!! I hear it's a new spot and I wish them tons of luck... Truth is they don't need it!! Decor is spot on. It's beautiful in air, but more importantly the food was impeccable. Combination of flavors, the temperatures the plating everything was fantastic. From the seasonal menu I really enjoyed the meatballs on the edamame hummus! I might actually go back tonight for another round of those!! read more

The Coconut korma curry bowl with soy curls (Vegetarian) food I had was presented well, filling and tasted great. Service was fantastic for our larger table of people. As this was a Thursday evening, the restaurant wasn't full which allowed the ambiance to be perfect for us to talk and be heard with our large table of friends and family. read more

Avoid this restaurant if you value hygiene or honest service. Our party of eight had a disastrous experience on Feb 12th, 2026, marked by a major health code violation and predatory billing. * The Food: We found live fruit flies crawling in the sauce of a $45 lamb shank. When we pointed it out, the manager made excuses about the restaurant's location instead of taking accountability because the meal had been mostly consumed when the flies were discovered. * The Service: Inattentive and disjointed. Kids' meals arrived 30 minutes before the adults' and a burger that was ordered also arrived with the wrong adjustments. * The Bill: After "agreeing" to comp the contaminated meal, the manager stopped me in front of other guests as I was leaving, claiming I'd been undercharged. I was pressured into paying an additional amount without an itemized receipt. I actually ended up paying MORE than my original bill before any "comps." Essentially, I feel penalized for complaining about insects in the food. Extremely dishonest and dismissive management and a total lack of professional standards in hospitality and customer service read more

Every visitor to Winnipeg should check out the patio at Gather at the Leaf (and the tropical and Mediterranean biomes inside). Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

We came to eat at Gather for a lunch reservation after our excursion at the Leaf. Everything we had, from cocktails, to food, to the service was impeccable. We started with the bread service (Peppercorn Pan Bread) and the focaccia was airy and flavorful. All of our cocktails were perfect complements to the food. Our table ordered: Drinks -Not So Old Fashioned -Turkish Delight -Blackberry and Elderflower Mule Food -Classic Burger - Chicken Bahn Mi Sandwich - Coconut Curry Bowl Everyone said they would order their dishes again and left feeling very satisfied in terms of proportions. We had a little one with us and the server, Tonya, deserves a shout out for being so amazing with her. (They do have Kid's Menu for those wondering as well as high chairs and boosters.) There were some varied reviews out there given the restaurant is newer but I feel they have gotten into their groove - at least for a lovely lunch out. read more

What a lovely find! We were staying at the Holiday Inn on Portage and we're in the mood for something nice for dinner. We walked to Gather along Portage then turned into the park. It's located in a conservatory. Even though Open Table said there were no tables available, both the lounge and the patio were open for walk-ins. All of the waitstaff were exceptional. The old fashioneds were some of the best we ever had! My husband had the pork tenderloin and I had the coconut korma curry. Everything was excellent! The curry was spiced pleasantly warm. He had the chocolate brownie for dessert and I had the pavlova. Again, excellent flavors! Both desserts were nice and light. Strongly recommend this place. A gem! read more

What a gem! Tucked in the Leaf Botanical garden with a very stylish interior. Innovative and fresh offerings; I sat at the bar and chose the "faux gras"torchon and the scallop / risotto, small but nice selection of NA beers...friendly service and good value. read more

The food flavors were very good. The menu selection was sparse, with esoteric selections. For my diet, requiring low carbs, high protein, there were few things to choose from. I had to order 2 small plate items to get a meal. The selection for salads and veggies was slim. Don't go there if you want large servings, while it was adequate, you won't have leftovers. The scallops risotto dish had just three medium sized scallops. The place was noisy, even when it wasn't very full. The decor wasn't appealing to me. The service was courteous. read more

The short rib pasta was one of the best things I ever ate. Hoping it returns on the menu

Found the food to be good, but what got me was the fact not only was cutlery not served with the meal right away, but when it came to the food it was in a smaller portion at a very high price. But also, found considering this restaurant presented itself to be a high-upper class dining it isn't near the expectation you'd assume as servers tended to struggle here terribly. I think if they charge that much for a small portion they should at least add more it make it bigger. That being said, it gives off a nice relaxing atmosphere with a bit of funky groove. read more

10/10. I had heard good things about this restaurant for a while but hadn't had the chance to try it for myself until recently. I have so much to say, but I'll keep it short. The patio had really comfortable seats and was spaced very nicely. The food was amazing!. I think I had the Octopus escabeshe as an appetizer, which I shared with some friends and then the Coconut Korma Curry for myself which was easily the best thing I've tasted in a while. The food gets a 10/10 as well in my book. If i remember correctly i had the Black Currant and the Blackberry and Elderflower Mule for drinks which were also great!. Overall a great experience that i'm glad i got to experience with my friends as well. WIll definitely be coming back soon!. (Special Shoutout to our server Arlene, she was so welcoming and was super funny. She kept my friends and I entertained and in such a great mood the whole time we were there. Get that woman a raise lol.) Like I said before, 10/10 read more

Very pleasant surprise. Service and the dining room were very good. Food was good too there were four of us. Couple of the meals were exceptional (order extra rice, lots of sauce to rice ratio) the burger was unremarkable but still the dinner was worth the trip. I'll go back.! read more

Went to this wonderful restaurant with my Dad last night and it exceeded all expectations! Beautiful setting and decor, amazing food - we had the risotto and the pork tenderloin, Zenata pinot grigio - all were truly excellent. We will be back for sure! read more

A beautiful setting ruined by horrible service and a rude serving staff. Lied about reservations while me and my friends waited outside to be seated while the restaurant was over half empty. Waitress was short with me when i asked if we could go sit down. Over-priced food and drink menu for what it is. The only saving grace of this place was the bartenders were friendly. Would not come back. read more

Had an unpleasant experience tonight. All of the five mains we ordered were salty especially the mushroom risotto and the portions were very small. Our server, Kiana, was not very nice too. For the kind of food and service you get, it's not worth it. ... More read more

Great place to stop, before or after visit to the leaf. Menu is awesome and food is tasty.

my first visit to the gather kitchen for lunch was disappointing in the food i received on my plate. i ordered the arctic char which was almost hard to find on the plate it was so small. For a $21 lunch entree i would have expected more than a 3"x1" piece of fish accompanied with a small portion of israeli couscous and 2 pieces of leek the size of a thimble. read more
