When I was a Winnipeg resident, I was a mall person. I had two favourite malls in this city: Polo…read morePark and St Vital Centre. I am more of a outlet mall shopper these days. However, returning to this city on vacation as a sentimental ex-Winnipegger, I hung out at this mall for seven hours. The mall person returned. It's still in me. I hadn't been to this mall since 2016, so it was worth the visit. It's a decent mall. It's a medium-sized one in that there's only one floor. Hudson's Bay (it has a Zellers!), London Drugs, Walmart, and Dollarama are your anchor stores. In 2016, I spent a lot of time and did a lot of damage at London Drugs. On this visit to the mall, I didn't visit any of these stores. I wanted to check out the other stores that I had missed. SilverCity, Hudson's Bay, Purdy's Chocolates, and Indigo were stores that I recognized. They have endured the test of time. I like them a lot. Everything else was new. I could picture the old HMV and Branigan's restaurant when you first enter mall entrance 3 and hit the food court. They are gone. The food court is still excellent. I had a late lunch at Koya Japan and my meal was excellent. I visited a bunch of stores that I had never been to at this mall. Miniso. SoftMoc. Sephora. Claire's. They are all cool stores that I enjoyed visiting and making some purchases. There is a lot of parking at this mall. It may get nuts during Boxing Day or week or month. I have never had any issues parking at this mall. This mall has an Earl's restaurant. I last dined there in 2016 and loved it. There's also Sushi Gozen by London Drugs that I'd like to try someday. I recently met up with a couple of friends here. We caught up over some Timmy's drinks and snacks. It was nice and a memorable, happy experience. It's a decent mall. It has everything that I like and need. (316)

Before my trip to Winnipeg, my boyfriend and I were brainstorming places we wanted to visit. The…read moreForks was easily near the top, as we are both obsessed with food markets, ever since we went to Bolhão Market and Timeout Market in Porto and Lisbon respectively. We went here on our first day. We had been trudging through the downtown trying to find good places to eat and chill, and when we finally found The Forks Market, it was a much needed solace from the both the summer heat and the quiet of downtown. We walked in and we were immediately amazed. This place has so much food variety, as expected from being a food market in Canada. I spied a pizza place, a Sri Lankan food spot, a taco store, and so much more. I could've spent my entire trip eating here as there were so many options. We tried the several spots: - From Habanero Sombrero, we tried three tacos: one shrimp, one fish, and one beef. They were all stellar. - We tried some Thai dumplings from an Asian spot and it was amazing. I've never had peanut flavoured sauce in dumplings before so it was a nice find! - We tried beverages from Fools and Horses. We enjoyed the drinks we got (I got a chai drink and a tea drink on multiple occasions). My boyfriend wasn't a fan of the matcha. The food here is all very affordable and there's a variety of savoury and sweet places if you wanted to get dessert after your meal. The upper floor mainly has shops (the lower floor has a few shops too, such as a candy store and a souvenir shop). The shops on the other hand are a little pricey for me but they do offer tons of goods that feel very Canadian/Winnipeg. There's a sitting place upstairs if you can't find a place to eat downstairs, or if you want to lounge around. I was overall very ecstatic to spend time in this market, so much so that I went again the following day. I would highly recommend this as a stop if you're ever in Winnipeg.

Even from the street view, there are nice welcoming displays in the window, and as soon as you open the door, you are greeted with that wonderful familiar old-book smell (in the best way possible!). There is a carefully curated section for basically any genre you can think of (Icelandic books or antique sheet music, anyone?) organized meticulously, peppered with unique and interesting decor. The books we were looking at (general fiction/literature trade paperbacks) were priced between $7-10/book. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, rounding out the excellent experience. I can't say enough good things about Bison Books, Absolute Must for Winnipeg book lovers!
