Winnipeg Restaurant Makes the Top 50 in Canada List

While in Winnipeg, visitors are certain to visit Deseo Bistro, the Spanish-inspired establishment that was the city’s only entry in the Vacay.ca Top 50 Restaurants in Canada Guide. Chef Scott Bagshaw offers distinct dishes such as sweetbreads ($17) made in a style similar to butter chicken, with pickled cucumber, spiced yogurt, naan, and cilantro. The restaurant ranked at No. 38 in the 2013 list announced in May.

Vacay.ca restaurant judge Cailin O’Neil said: “Deseo Bistro is the brainchild of one of Winnipeg’s many young chefs. Featuring homemade, Latin American cuisine, the restaurant has a unique tapas menu featuring everything from olives to sweetbreads and pork bellies. You can literally just eat off of the tapas menu and be satisfied. Deseo Bistro also has an extensive wine and drink list that skilfully pairs with your meal. If I lived in Winnipeg I would probably eat here a few times a week if not every day.”
