Bistro on Notre Dame

“First time here, went in for lunch today. I had the Moroccan La Denn pulled turkey sandwich. It was sweet and savory, full of flavour, perfect balance of all the tastes of toppings, and the big fat cut fries are MB reds, deep fried in duck fat. I will definitely be returning to try all the dishes, very hard to choose because they all look insanely good. They have very good variety, great prices, good atmosphere and very friendly staff Aimee who was our waitress. And all the food is locally sourced. Oh and all the picked items in the shelf are sourced locally and pickled in house and are available to purchase. Nice little hidden gem!”

“What an absolutely fabulous find. We listened to Alie Ward's smologies episode about Indigenous Cooking on our drive to Winnipeg which primed us for the delicious, locally sourced food we experienced. For beverages we had Sangria, cream soda and a Frau Rouge. We started with the Honey Butter chips which were amazing. We also ordered the plant based polenta, Brussels with ricotta, Zaayoon soup and the walleye Mac n cheese. Everyone loved their dishes. The meat eaters thought the walleye Mac n cheese was the best. I was in love with the veggie polenta. For dessert we had the PB + Chocolate Chess Pie. Everything was delicious. We sat by the kitchen and it was amazing to see how the cooks worked in such a small space and how well they communicated with each other. The space is cozy and fun. The staff were kind and helpful. Per the ten year old: "The honey butter chips couldn't have been better. For my main meal I had the walleye Mac n cheese. It was gourmet Mac n cheese with perfectly cooked fish on top and the pasta was bathed in a wonderful herby cheese sauce. Even my dad was sneaking bites of it. The PB+Chocolate Chess Pie was in scrumptious bite size pieces, the waitress even artfully arranged the spoons. Bonus there were bathrooms. We will definitely be coming back."”

“Beautiful, warm space with amazing food and drink! I enjoyed the selection of sweet teas and would come back again and again just to try them all! We ordered the poutine, which was delicious, as well as the arctic char and soup which we enjoyed as well. So many unique menu options, it was hard to make a choice, and we look forward to coming back to try new things!”

“Quaint unique and lovely little Bistro. Local sustainable delicatesant. Excellent smiley service. Mushrooms were fantastic. Sprouts lacked luster. Meatballs and carrots needed a sauce to tie it together. Walleye mac n cheese left much to be desired... included a hard crust of cheese on the walleye too much pesto and oil.”

“Incredible dinner at Bistro on Notre Dame! The 'Lake + Steak' platter was massive and delicious the bison and smoked mushrooms were highlights. Don't skip the bread basket with house-made bannock! The MB Punch was the perfect local drink to wash it all down. ​The quality and service are top-tier, yet the prices are very reasonable for the experience you get. Meeting the owner, very welcoming,he'spassionate. Highly recommend for great local vibes and even better food!”
