Seek out stellar sushi between grocery aisles

Iknow, I know -- the last time I mentioned sushi in this column I added the words "enough already." But that wasn't because I don't like sushi. Actually, I love sushi. I also feel virtuous when eating sushi, convincing myself that, not only do they make for saner eating than ...

Top Restaurant Reviews News

  • Burger house goes upscale, so do prices

    I remember Steve's when it was just a Place. Now it has become a Bistro and what, one wonders, is the difference between a Place and a Bistro? Decor, for one thing, and prices for another. When it was just a Place, it was pretty much your basic burger house, with no décor to speak of, but the burgers were good and the fries terrific. I can't remember what they cost at the time -- it was a few years ago -- but I do know they were in line with burgers and fries in similar establishments.

  • TREVOR HAGAN / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
Charisma of India�s buffet closely mimics its menu; either choice features both flavourful dishes and some less successful ones.

    Charisma's charms limited but satisfying

    Buffet? Home delivery? An à la carte dinner in the restaurant? When it comes to Indian food is there much difference between them? Some of the dishes are fried, some are roasted (in a tandoor oven, if we're lucky), but many more of them are the long-simmered and sauced variety, which makes them ideal for buffets, and is probably one reason why there are so many Indian buffets.

  • J. Fox's in River Heights reaches gastropub heights with dinner fare, but its brunches are disappointing.

    Pub's grub grand, but with an asterisk

    Before British cooking started getting its good press, or was referred to as "cuisine" (I still have my doubts about what you get at the low end of the price scale), it was often pubs that nourished many a hungry Brit and expat, usually at affordable prices.

  • Desta Work Negatu shows a veggie and meat combo platter at Harman’s Cafe.

    Familiar name, but menu from another world

    Harman's? my friends (who aren't up on these things) ask. You mean the drugstore? And of course I didn't mean the drugstore with that lunch counter of blessed memory. It vanished years ago, along with its waitresses -- those paragons of efficiency who took orders without ever taking notes and never getting any of them wrong.
