World Food
Reflecting Winnipeg ’ s ethnocultural diversity , this category represents our top choices from the many small , primarily family‐run restaurants in town . The decor at most of these is simple and / or the location is out of the way . However , each restaurant represents food from the owner ’ s culture , with sometimes astonishingly low prices that reflect the simplicity of the service and surroundings , not the quality of the food .
