by the Sous Sol crew; and the brand-new James Avenue Pumphouse (its dining room provides views of the massive gears and pumps that kept the city safe from fire in the early 1900s.) Also, a big tip of the hat to Juneberry, which has been serving up buoyant brunch dishes for the past couple of years in a hip, charming setting with a river- facing outdoor patio. On top of all this, the aforementioned Emily Butcher (à la Top Chef Canada fame) has teamed up with Mike Del Buono (King and Bannatyne, the celebrated Exchange District sandwich shop) to open Nola in St. Boniface and a second King location. Markets and Old Market Square If you are looking for countless quality options all under one roof our markets have you covered. Our original food hall at The Forks Market features a world of flavours that you can pair with up to 20 wines and beers on tap along with a massive outdoor patio that overlooks both rivers with seating for 200. The newer, ritzy Hargrave Street Market has excellent Japanese (Saburo from the Yujiro team), brunch and gourmet sandwiches from Miss Browns, and a whole host of options from Academy Hospitality, including crazy good burgers (Yard Burger) and the gorgeous setting of Gusto North (which includes a second-floor patio). Old Market Square in The Exchange District is also home to an abundance of notable spots including Peasant Cookery, Amsterdam Tea Room, Chosabi, Bronuts and Cordova Tapas & Wine, all of which have great sidewalk patios for summer. More can't-miss Exchange spots include The Mitchell Block and its upstairs concept Wet & Dry Dept, Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria, Cibo Waterfront Café, Saddlery on Market—the majority of which have great patios. And let's not forget about Shawarma Khan and Danook, two top spots for Middle Eastern cuisine just steps from Portage and Main. Popular categories at a glance If you are looking for authentic flavours from around the world, the West End is the place to be. There are over 100 spots within approximately 20 blocks in the area, covering everything from Ethiopian, West African, Jamaican, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Filipino, Southeast Asian and Vietnamese. It is a must-visit area for all culinary enthusiasts looking to take a food crawl (which is also offered as a tour via West End Biz). St. Boniface, of course, excels at French cuisine and bakeries, with standouts like Promenade Café and Wine, Chocolatier Constance Popp, La Belle Baguette and Le Croissant. Our Middle Eastern scene has never been better, with newer spots like Les Saj, Ramallah Café and Yafa Café joining established joints like North Main's legendary Baraka Pita Bakery. The same can be said about tacos, with BMC Market and JC's Tacos and More now battling it out on tortillas with Sargent Taco, G.F. Tacos, Mercadito Latino, Kyu Grill, Habanero Sombrero, Oda Best and The Good Fight Taco. For Japanese, we are huge on Yujiro; Wasabi Broadway has one of the best patios in the city; Dwarf no Cachette in St. Boniface excels at okonomiyaki and curries, while Ichiban has been putting on teppanyaki shows since 1973! And pizza! Our beloved Golden Boy holds a sheath of wheat in his hands, so you better believe that we know our dough. A few choice spots include Vera Pizzeria, Red Ember Common, Wall Street Slice, Super Deluxe, Pizzeria Gusto, Bonfire Bistro, Tommy's Pizzeria and St. Vital's Santa Ana—where reservations must be made well in advance.
