Dinner at Mon Ami Louis
There is so much good food in Winnipeg. Everything I had was amazing. One of my favorite stops we made was to Mon Ami Louis.
The first unique thing you’ll notice is they’re built on a bridge. There is no parking on site. You cross the bridge and look over the river as you dine.
The fellow Food & Travel Writers I visited Winnipeg with
The view was spectacular. Our waitress was Sarah and she was another reason I loved this restaurant. There are good waiters and waitresses and there are those that far exceed good. This was Sarah. She knew her menu and knew what they served. I chose items simply by the way she described them.
Cheeky Lychee
This drink was just the start. I would even say this is the best mixed drink I’ve ever had. It had cantaloupe juice and a cucumber slice. It was so refreshing.
Deep Fried Almond Crusted Brie with sauteed apples, raspberry coulis, and toasted baugette
Braised Brisket Poutine – tender pulled brisket , famous house cut fries, cheese curds, pickled red onion, horseradish cream, and red wine gravy
We started with two appetizers for the table. The Almond Crusted Brie just melted and it blended so well with the apples and raspberry.
The Poutine was also delicious and could have been enough for a full meal.
Brisket Burger – Beef Patty topped with pulled brisket, bacon jam, crispy onions, bourbon glaze, brioche bun, and a side of house cut fries
I went with the Brisket Burger and it did not disappoint. The burger was cooked perfectly.
Truffle Mac n Cheese
I have to tell you about the Truffle Mac n Cheese. It was a special for the night and had 4 different cheeses and mushrooms and truffle oil. It also had a light panko topping. It was magical. I was really torn between this and the burger. Thankfully I went to dinner with fellow foodies and we shared.
Potted Lemon Meringue – lemon curd, graham crumb, white chocolate pearls, toasted meringue, berries
We had to order dessert. I mean calories don’t count when you’re international, right? (I am totally kidding) This meringue was light and sweet and perfect to end my meal.
If you’re in Winnipeg you simply must give Mon Ami Louis a try. You will thank me.
