The Sunset Terrace

Winnipeg/Treaty 1 Territory

The Fort Garry Hotel is an iconic hotel in Winnipeg, and one of its most famous components is the world-renown culinary scene that includes the Oval Room Brasserie and Vida Cucina Italia. But in the summer?

The Sunset Terrace Eat + Drink is the place to be. Only open for three short months every summer, don’t miss your chance to dine downtown in style. This lavish patio offers Los Angeles-inspired decor and live music in the heart of the city, not to mention some incredible eats. The menu includes mouthwatering favourites such as vibrant salads, shareables and the FGH signature pizzas, while there’s a wonderful selection of wine, beer and refreshing cocktails, perfect to enjoy with a shady umbrella and a warm breeze.

Moon Gate Guest House

Elma/Treaty 3 Territory

This inviting guest house nestled in the Whitemouth River Valley boasts an artisan bakery that welcomes guests on Friday and Saturday nights.

From June to September, feast on pizza in the yard courtesy of their outdoor, wood-fired oven. With a field-to-fork philosophy, owners Jenny and Michael Dupas offer local ingredients to build your own pie: cheese from Bothwell, meats from Archie's, in-season veggies from local gardens and crusts made using local grains.

Wood-fired sourdough bread and chicken wings are also on the menu. Wind down after a busy week, enjoying a delicious pizza by the river, watching the prairie sunset. What could be more idyllic?

The Beer Can

Winnipeg/ Treaty 1 Territory

The Beer Can is one of Manitoba’s only beer gardens, but it’s much more than just a place to grab a drink. This accessible, family-friendly spot is committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome, and is open daily for lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks (weather permitting).

Located a stone’s throw from Osborne Village on Granite Way, The Beer Can is a lively place where you can dine on food from Kosmo’s Food Cantina; nosh on burgers, wraps, salads, and plenty of snackables, including many vegetarian options. While there’s a fantastic beer and cocktail menu available, there are plenty of non-alcoholic options, too.

Only open in the summer months, its picnic tables fill up quickly both day and night.

Two Old Crows BBQ & Smokehouse

Miami/Treaty 1 Territory

The smell of BBQ is wafting around the Pembina Valley thanks to Two Old Crow's BBQ & Smokehouse. A hidden gem hardly known beyond the Maimi/Morden/Manitou circle, Two Old Crows is a food truck and catering service that operates on an acreage about 10 kms west of Miami on Hwy 23. It's the perfect destination for supper after a long day of road tripping through the stunning scenery and quaint towns in the area.

Check out Two Old Crows’ Facebook page for daily drool-worthy specials such as bacon-wrapped turkey legs and pork belly burnt ends. There's a limited quantity of food, so it's best to show up early to snag a picnic table.

Livery Barn Restaurant

Steinbach/Treaty 1 Territory

Open from May 1 to September 30, the Livery Barn Restaurant is located in the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach.

Combine a visit to the heritage village with a memorable meal of traditional Mennonite food, including vereniki (perogies), borscht, stone-ground bread and more. There’s also a children’s menu as well as gluten-free and vegan substitutions available.

Don’t miss the Sunday lunch buffet, and make sure to save room for dessert; sweet options include rice pudding, homemade cookies, plueme moos (dried fruits simmered to perfection) or rhubarb plautz (a type of cake).
