“Worth the Trip”-Part Two
Part two of my summer column in Winnipeg Women/Dish Magazine.
“You’ll find Rembrandt’s Bistro at 1 Wellink Drive in Lockport. The service and food is fantastic – like being at Terrace 55 but in the country. Of special note, is the Red River cereal crème brulee which is served as a first course on the winter brunch menu.
If you are ever heading south on Highway 59 en route to St. Malo, stop in at St. Pierre-Joly’s Le Bebe Rouge Drive In. They are only open in the summer and the burgers are sensational (we can’t quite figure out what makes them so).
While en route to Clear Lake, driving west on the Trans Canada, you’ll want to veer into Portage la Prairie for a visit to Tres Unique Café in the historic Land Titles Building. Check out their Facebook page to see what’s for lunch. I’ve seen messages about Fiddleheads and asparagus (just picked from her garden) being made into quiche. Chefs that I follow on Twitter are raving about Horfrost at 190 River Road also in Portage. The inventive chef is serving up local ingredients prepared in a classical style but with surprising twists.
Honourable mentions from other Facebook friends go to Pine Ridge Hollow at the edge of Bird’s Hill Park and the Harvest Moon Café in Garson. All of these little finds are within an hour of Winnipeg and definitely worth the trip.”
