ciao ! reviews
Owner Scot McTaggert has long been an advocate for the Canadian wine industry , and will enthusiastically share recommendations from a carefully assembled selection of bottles from Ontario and BC vinyards . Winnipeg ’ s craft beer scene , which has been building to a head recently , results in a growing beer selection as well .
Desserts are heavenly , including a comforting apple crumble in a caramel sauce spiked with Newfoundland Screech . Even for those who have had their fill , the housemade truffles that arrive with the bill — rich Callebaut chocolate blended with local ingredients like nutty toasted wild rice powder — are a sweet extra touch that ends the meal on a Friendly Manitoba note .
Fusion Grill is open Tue-Sat 11:30 am-2:30 pm and 5:30 pm-10 pm .

While Winnipeg ' s status as a food city spurs self-appointed gourmands to a predilection for the trend of the moment , certain places and dishes have complete staying power , beyond trend factor . Perhaps it is nostalgia , tradition , or just the right combination of butter , sugar , flour and cinnamon — in any case , The Original Pancake House won ' t be giving up its place in Winnipeg ' s heart any time soon .
The first location of this local chain opened its doors on Pembina
Hwy in 1958 , and has since become a classic spot for Winnipeggers looking to dig into family friendly breakfast fare . Popularity has not waned , and the restaurant now boasts four locations , including a bright mod space off McGillivray in the city ' s South End .
The Forks Market location is the go-to to warm toes after skating the river trail . Weekends are packed our for family brunches , shared over many generations , in the cushy booths and sunny glass atrium .
A strange magic is at play that allows shifting ratios of ingredients to create a plethora of breakfast foods . A bevvy of batters produce classic fluffy buttermilk pancakes , Belgian-style waffles , French toast , and delicate crêpes , all used as vehicles for a range of toppings . Pick your favourite and top with fresh berries , or , for the unabashed sweet tooth , banana split fixings .
