Top 3 Fusion food in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

We recently celebrated my mother's 60th Birthday at Maxime's. We were a party of about 30, and the food and service were excellent. Even though we were a relatively large group, food was served to everyone at the same time, we never had to wait for wine or drink top ups, and the private room we had for the party really made us feel at home. The servers Jen and Paul were very accommodating, answered all of our questions, and really aimed to make it a pleasant experience for everyone. Thank you to Maxime's for making this a memorable event.

Our party of four recently attended Cafe Carlo based on the unsolicited recommendation of a stranger who overheard our conversation about where we should go for dinner. We were advised that this was one of those 'must try' restaurants in Winnipeg, and they were right.Tucked away on a side street just off of one of Winnipeg's trendiest avenues, Cafe Carlo doesn't particularly stand out from the crowd and is likely why none of us had ever heard of it or seen it before. The restaurant itself is fairly nondescript on the exterior but it is noticeably clean, modern, and tastefully decorated on the interior. We found all of the staff warm and friendly.Upon ordering drinks, we began our dinner with a shared plate of perfectly fried Calamari. It's rather important to note that very few restaurants can boast about their skill in preparing such a finicky cephalopod, but Cafe Carlo nailed it! Soft and tender on the inside with a light and crunchy batter on the outside...it was culinary perfection! One of our guests ordered the curry chicken salad as their starter and refused to share a bite, so that's rather telling! The other ordered crispy prawns with a killer ginger sauce and everyone at the table was lapping up the leftover sauce with whatever remaining item they had available including calamari, lettuce, bread, and fingers! Cafe Carlo can totally bottle this stuff and sell it.Our mains arrived shortly thereafter and in timely fashion. Granted, we were dining on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was only about 1/3 full, so I cannot properly report on what their meal service would have been like during prime time, but for mid-week, it was spot on. My wife ordered one of her all-time favorite dishes, the Canelloni, which was perfectly prepared and very tasty by most anyone's standards, except that to me, Canelloni will always just be Canelloni. It's basically a tomato and cheese sauce baked inside a pasta shell. Yeah, it was good, but I have yet to try one so incredible that I would feel compelled to write home about it. However, if you like Canelloni as much as my wife does, this one was as good as it gets. I decided to order the hand-made Potato Gnocchi in Pesto Sauce simply because the true measure of any good Italian-inspired restaurant is how well they can prepare an in-house Gnocchi and pesto. The verdict: Outstanding! I found the potato / pasta mixture slightly lopsided on the potato side, but it was pan fried to a crisp perfection and mouth-wateringly scrumptious in the accompanying savory pesto sauce. My only major critique was that the portion size was sorely lacking to the extent that everyone else at the table felt sorry for me and kept offering me their own food rather than sampling a taste of mine. (Note to the Restaurateurs: Gnocchi is a relatively inexpensive potato and semolina dumpling and not a dry-aged filet mignon. At $23, a third more volume would have made me sing your praises even louder)Our dinner guests selected the Meaty Penne and the Pappardelle, as I properly recall, and both of them continuously raved about their food and vowed to return here again. Within our small consortium of self-declared food snobs, the entire meal was a solid 4 out of 4...which is exceedingly rare. Nicely done, Cafe Carlo! Admittedly, the mixed drinks were a wee bit pricier than expected, as others have mentioned, but it was all part of an enjoyable dining experience. The appetizers and mains, however, are all well within the price range for a fine dining establishment.Thank you Cafe Carlo! We'll be back.Thank you Edventurous,We look forward to seeing you again sometime.

We have eaten here many times but this was the first time on the patio. What a beautiful atmosphere. Although between two busy streets the patio is surrounded by greenery. Lots of large umbrellas provided shade on a warm sunny day. Our only complaint was the surface of the table was quite stained and could have used placemats to cover some of the marks. There was a band, Papa Mamboâs playing in one corner. All our meals were excellent including lamb shank, beef medallions and the moules. Great service too.
