a message from marina r. James
On behalf of Tourism Winnipeg, thank you for choosing to visit our great city! Whether you are
here for business or for leisure, for a day or for a week, we invite you to experience Winnipeg’s
diverse character, including our flourishing arts scene, tantalizing regionally inspired cuisine,
world-class festivals and events, and rich history dating back to the fur trade.
Your senses will be engaged as you groove to the sounds of our live indie music scene, take
a sight-seeing tour through the historic Exchange District complete with its turn-of-the-lastcentury architecture, and feel the cold crisp air on your nose and cheeks as you sip Caribou,
a beverage of choice at Festival du Voyageur’s hip ice bar.
As you soak it all in, you will soon discover that the heart of our city is our warm hospitality
imparted by the creative and innovative people who have chosen to call Winnipeg home.
As a proud ‘pegger, let me share a taste of the Winnipeg I know and love…
Who I’m currently following in the local music scene: Vocal quintet Chic Gamine is
innovative and enjoyable. Très bien!
What I consider to be a Winnipeg “must-see”: The Hermetic Code Tour at the Legislative
Building. Thanks to Frank Albo for the extensive research he did in uncovering this city treasure.
Where I go for a great meal: Wasabi on Broadway for their Wil San roll, The Current at Inn
at the Forks for the bricken chicken and Paradise Restaurant for their homemade ravioli.
When I’m most aware of Winnipeg’s culturally diverse community: When riding the elevator
at the Richardson Building, walking downtown on Portage Avenue, shopping for groceries
at Sun Wah Supermarket or ordering dim sum at Kum Koon Garden.
Why I love weekends in the city: I go mansion gazing through Armstrong’s Point
(also known as “the gates”) and then pop-in at The Nook for sausage and eggs.
Try it smothered in Frank’s hot sauce with a dash of ketchup on the side and wash it
down with a cup of coffee. It doesn’t get any better than this!
Winnipeg offers you a vibrant landscape of theatrical and visual arts expression,
an eclectic music and dining scene, and a vast array of hip and trendy shops tucked
away in cool, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods.
We trust that the information you glean from our Visitor’s Guide will whet your appetite and
appeal to your inner modern-day explorer, translating into a truly unique and memorable visit.
Our website, visitwinnipegnow.com, will also assist you in making the most of your vacation,
with many a la carte and itinerary options to choose from.
Enjoy your time here and come back and visit us again soon!

points of Interest
Pass over the spectacular Esplanade Riel Pedestrian Bridge and
you’ll find yourself in St. Boniface, home to the one of the largest
francophone communities west of the Great Lakes and birthplace
of Louis Riel, the Métis leader who founded Manitoba. St. Boniface
is truly reflective of its French heritage. Here you can stroll along
le boulevard Provencher while stepping into boutiques and quaint
cafes along the way.
• The St. Boniface Museum is the oldest oak log structure in North
America and Winnipeg’s oldest building. The Museum depicts
the lives of the French and Métis people and houses the largest
collection of Louis Riel artifacts in the country.
• Built in 1908, the St. Boniface Cathedral burnt down in 1968 –
except for its remarkable façade. Renowned Franco-Manitoban
architect, Etienne Gaboury, built the new church on the same site,
inside the remains of the old.

day 1
Archaeologists believe the land at the intersection of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers was a gathering place for Indigenous
people 6,000 years ago. Today The Forks, as it is known, is a bustling centre of dining, entertainment and shopping. The Forks
Market is a food emporium with a mix of ethnic restaurants and made-in-Manitoba food items. The aroma of cinnamon buns
leads you to Tall Grass Prairie Bakery, where you can bake your own loaf of bread and enjoy the samples. Or try your hand at
regional cooking with the Chef of The Current Restaurant at the Inn at the Forks.
Winnipeg is known to many visitors as “restaurant central”. We encourage you travel our “taste trail” where our talented and
creative community of world-class chefs use local ingredients and exotic fare at independent restaurants like The Peasant
Cookery, Bistro 7 1/4, Fusion Grill, Mise, Pizzeria Gusto, The Current, Segovia Tapas Restaurant and so many more.
Develop your culinary skills under the expert guidance of the instructors at De Luca’s Cooking Studio as they demonstrate
a variety of authentic Italian dishes. The Manitoba Japanese Cultural Centre offers tips on sushi rolling and the art of
presentation.
Chocolate lovers should make the pilgrimage to Chocolatier Constance Popp where they produce fresh premium artisan
chocolate in Winnipeg. Using Manitoba-produced ingredients and exotic single-origin chocolate, these chocolates are made
by a business that is socially and environmentally responsible. With it’s avant-garde chocolates and boxes, expect a unique
chocolate experience.
Winnipeg’s ethnic food restaurants not only serve the best of their cultural cuisine, but feature international dishes influenced
by Manitoba’s regional cuisine flavours.
Try one-of-a-kind dining spots such as Alycia’s traditional Ukrainian fare, Homer’s for Greek souvlaki, and the Ivory Restaurant
for a “Bollywood” extravaganza. Corydon Avenue, also known as “Little Italy”, is noted for its popular patio restaurants,
gelaterias and bars. Over the past decade, the area has changed from predominately Italian cuisine to include tastes from
around the world. Soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the sights and sounds as you stroll the avenue.
day 2
For a glimpse into Winnipeg’s past, head to The Exchange District National Historic Site, a 30-block neighbourhood comprised
of stunning architecture, where a large portion of the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene can be found along with bustling
restaurants and trendy boutiques. Food offerings range from tender racks of lamb at the stately British club setting of Bailey’s
and artfully-arranged sushi at Blü fish to South American-style steaks at Hermano’s Restaurant and Wine Bar and mouthwatering desserts at artsy coffee houses.
Travel the world with Banville & Jones’ international wine and food pairing evenings. Located in the neighbourhood of St. Vital,
Banville and Jones is a Tuscan-inspired wine store with more than 3,000 bottles of wine, gifts and gourmet items from around
the world. Wine taste on the terrace, sample some of the favourite wines with a selection of Manitoba-produced new Bothwell
cheeses in the Tuscan Room, or partake in the cooking and wine-tasting classes featuring some of Winnipeg’s finest Chefs.
Osborne Village is a densely populated enclave boasting an eclectic and electric dining, shopping and nightlife scene. Stop at
Carlos & Murphy’s cozy cantina, Fude for upscale, casual dining, Baked Expectations for decadent desserts, Meiji for sushi
and Toad in the Hole for British pub fare.
And watch for the products of the Half Pints Brewery Company that offers its locally brewed British-style amber ale, India pale
ale and hearty stout through many of Winnipeg’s bars and restaurants.

natiVe legends and Folklore (First nations/métis sample itinerary)
day 1
Discover Winnipeg, where First Peoples gathered and traded more than 6,000 years ago. The Oodena Celebration Circle
(an Ojibwa word meaning “heart of the city”) invokes the spirit that has drawn people to The Forks, a place that was named
because it is located where the Assiniboine and Red Rivers meet.
After seeing a Parks Canada entertaining theatrical play that walks you through 6,000 years of history at The Forks, cross
the river to Winnipeg’s French Quarter, St. Boniface, and capture the voyageur spirit of “joie de vivre” or “love of life”. The
St. Boniface Museum, Riel House, Fort Gibraltar and Theatre in the Cemetery pay tribute to the fur trade era and legendary
Louis Riel, a Métis leader considered by many to be the “Founder” of Manitoba.
day 2
Hear the call of the loon as you admire artist Daphni Odjig’s “Creation of Man” mural when you enter the Boreal Forest Gallery
at The Manitoba Museum.
Then travel upstream to trade furs for goods at the encampment at Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site and while visiting
Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre you will learn the history of the tipi and how it connects people to the land.
Or go west to FortWhyte Alive and throw an atlatl, precursor to the bowshot arrow and enjoy bannock served at the Buffalo
Stone Café. Arrange a viewing of the IMAX Theatre film “Heartland” so that you can listen to the elk walk through the forest
as the First Nations people settle in for the night.
day 3
Browse through a number of local art galleries that carry the works of Aboriginal artists including the Wah-sa Gallery and see
