I have a new favourite place…read more I was in Winnipeg, preparing for a move there, scoping out properties, etc. My realtor had to meet with another client, so I asked her to drop me at McNally Robinson/Prairie Ink. I ordered the French Onion soup and the Brie, Date and Bacon sandwich. Both were INCREDIBLE. The seasoning was perfect, just the right temperature, and the cutie who served me was an extra nice touch. SO friendly and when I told him I was moving to town and didn't have a readers card yet because I was waiting to join the Writers Guild, he applied the discount anyway, because he knew they'd be seeing a lot of me in the future. For dessert, I ordered a piece of carrot cake for later. It turned out to be MASSIVE, with delicious whipped cream, mounds of cream cheese, and chock full of pineapple, nuts and carrot. I'm still dreaming of that cake. I can't WAIT to hit town so I can come back!

I ordered Bake Mac n' Cheese (minus the parmesan crust). I swapped the salad for the soup of the day (chicken and barley). When my meal arrived, I was surprised to see the salad but started eating some of it. When Joseph, our server, realized that I'd received a salad instead of the soup, he offered to make it right by bringing the soup. I'm not a fan of salads but said not to worry about it. The mac n' cheese was delicious ... I don't order mac n' cheese very often and this was the best mac n' cheese EVER!! I could have eaten more more more of this! Joseph was friendly and nice and took good care of us.

I'm convinced I probably just came here on a bad day last time I gave this place two stars. The food is still just as incredible and the service is friendly and decently quick. Still not giving this place five stars because parking is a major issue to get to this location, but then again, it's Downtown Winnipeg, so it's kind of to be expected. Great job on redeeming yourself, Stella's!

The blueberry muffin was dry but the chocolate chip was moist and perfect. The main thing that will bring me back is sandwiches that we didn't even order. They kept coming out of the kitchen and looked absolutely amazing! The room is nice and cozy and a great place to read or catch up with a friend.

All the bad reviews about him are true but are replied to with passive aggressive remarks and comments calling them liars even though they're true. He is very childish and doesn't have any empathy or compassion. This review is probably going to get the reply the other ones do- "the manager wasn't even in today this is a lie". Ridiculous!

I love Chinese bakeries and happy this city has one in Chinatown…read more There were about 4 cases with 3 shelves of different buns and treats. The employees pick out the items for you as oppose to you placing them on a tray with tongs. They had different items I've never had before such as chicken and onion bun, apricot roll and raspberry roll. Everything tasted fresh and the buns were soft. The prices were decent with one bun measuring the size of my hand averaging less than a dollar. "Cash only" at this place and like the rest of the country, you do have to add tax to the final total! Parking can be difficult because street parking is only available.

If coffee is your fuel, Tim's is your place!…read more They are virtually EVERYWHERE in Canada, which is a good thing!

Where else do you see people talking about "double double"s (double cream, double sugar)? Where else do you see the line of 10 cars waiting at the drive-thru for the coffee fix? Tim Hortons is a Canada-only phenomenon and boy did I miss you while I was gone. I got a 1/2 dozen box to go as soon as I got home (Thankfully, I remembered that they didn't take credit so I brought my debit card). Albeit I wasn't too crazy about the blueberry bloom and the odd lemon jam buster, the Canadian Maple, Boston Creme, and Double Chocolate filled me with that "true North strong and free" kinda love. I'd be lying if I told you these are the best doughnuts in the world. But they are a clear reminder that I'm back home.

It took a while but this place finally opened! I like their concept - fresh, healthy food for…read moreoffice workers. Downtown Winnipeg seems to be lacking in this area so it's a nice change to see this chain open up and provide better healthier options unlike the usual Tim Hortons or Subway. This franchise is situated in the new downtown MB Hydro building on the corner of Carlton and Portage Avenue. Lucky workers to have that in their building. This place is exactly what it calls itself to be - a deli and market. There's a sandwich station with sandwiches starting at $4.99 along with some pre-made ones. There's a made to order pita pizza section where you can create your own pizza. And there's a few soup choices. There's a hot and cold buffet table - priced by weight, $1.49 per 100g. Now, normally I don't like these types of buffet tables because who knows how long things have been sitting there. Plus there's so many people walking about, and some people are not very sanitary when it comes to these types of things. But it looks like there's good turnover on their first day as there was barely any hot food items when I arrived just after 1 pm. I opted to get some cold stuff - I got some marinated mushrooms, some tabouli salad and a Mediterranean mixed green salad type. In a small square styrofoam container (about a small salad sized portion) came to $3.40 after tax. I didn't think it was that expensive, but I guess that can add up when you pick up heavier protein items. The food is delish, it tastes like stuff I make at home and gravitate to on a daily basis - light and healthy. The mushrooms tasted like it was marinated in herbs and lemon - yummy. The tabouli was lightly seasoned and quite good. The mediterranean salad had artichokes in there (one of the reasons why I picked this one) - it had a nice tangy vinaigrette and wasn't not overly dressed. Nothing was overly seasoned or too salty - a plus in my books. It's their first day so maybe that's why they barely had any signages describing the food choices on the buffet tables. Also, it'd be nice to see some pricing on the market foods like the fruit, prepackaged to go meals and cheeses. There's also a coffee section that serves up cappuccino, espressos, cafe mochas, regular coffee and tea. This place has a moderate amount of seating inside as well. Sounds like they'll be open M-F, early in the morning till about 5 or 6 pm.

Surprised to be the first review for 'D Spot Dessert Cafe' as this has been a raving new trendy…read moredessert spot. For a first timer the menu is a little overwhelming as the options range from diner food, multiple dessert options, and hot/cold drinks. That being said, the server was very welcoming but did not offer any suggestions or recommendations to their menu. Apart from that, the ambience is very open and has a very 'retro diner' look with lots of booths. Being a new place there were not many people seated and walk in orders seem to be more preferred. If you are debating on a good and quiet time to go, I had arrived late into the evening at 8 pm and the service was still really prompt. I had ordered the 'Cookie Butter Croffle' and also wanted to try their House brew coffee. I was sharing with a friend and the portion sizing was pretty good for a light bite between the two of us. There were 2 croffles and 1 vanilla ice-cream cup on the side. The croffle was warm and not too sweet when paired with the icecream it was delicious! Almonds and biscoff bits for a nice little crunch and the layers of the croissant were very buttery. Would recommend if you like a lighter dessert as it hit the right spot without making me feel like I'm eating too much sugar. The coffee was straight from the pot and unfortunately did not receive a sleeve for it upon arrival but other than that the coffee was alright. My other friends loved their desserts just like I had and we were overall satisfied with our individual dishes! For a first timer I definitely will be coming back. This place is open late into the evening so if you ever have a late night sweet tooth I would definitely recommend it here as it really hit the spot!
