Hey there, time traveller!

The last year has been a wonderful year of noshing for Food Musings.

The year started with munching on salads at The Nook, The Peaks Restaurant and the Capital Grill, then progressed through the delectable offerings of beef tartare at Sous Sol and Segovia. The peanut butter and jam chicken wings were a hit at the Silver Heights as well as the peanut butter and jam buster at Bronuts.  

Midyear brought the Sunday brunch buffet at Gasthouse Gutenberg and out-of-town treks to Jonsey’s and Hillside Beach. Noodles were the selected fare at Dancing Noodle, Nicolino’s and Tom’s Pho and fish and chips were sampled at both Sei Sushi and the Captain’s Table.

The biggest surprises were the bacon and egg pizza at Peg Beer Co. and the calamari on the seafood pizza at Amici followed closely by quail eggs at both Bisita and Fusian Experience. Everything was a surprise at Saperavi, the first Georgian restaurant on the prairies.

The year concluded with exceptional tastes of the Vietnamese pork sandwich at King + Bannatyne, fried chicken toast at Clementine and paella at Simon’s Cuisine.

What does 2017 hold for Food Musings? Well I am still trying to work my way through the reader’s suggestions of Begonia Grill, Common Sense Deli & Bakery, Diner’s Grill, Ethiopian food at Massawa, Latin American fare at Mercadito Latino Restaurant & Market, a theme night at Rossmere Country Club and the White Star Diner once it makes its move to Kennedy Street. On my personal list are Saddlery on Market, Feast Café Bistro, Blind Tiger and Crème DeL’Essence. So it looks like 2017 will be another busy one with trying to keep up with Winnipeg’s vibrant restaurant scene (and going to the gym to offset the fruits of my labour).
