Feast Cafe Bistro

We came to visit for dinner on a hot night soon after the restaurant’s opening for the evening service. We were seated at a two top bar table right away. Being somewhat excited to taste the food we order off the rotating menu board and the standard menu to get an idea of what this restaurant is like. Tasty. We didn’t mind but were out of water with no refills before our main course came. We had to have the previous plates cleared when food came out due to the very small size of the table. We would have stayed for dessert except the sound level was greatly increasing as diners trickled in for dinner and lack of something to drink. Great art and every possibility of a great experience. Too hot and thirsty to really enjoy.

We had a nice meal at Feast, our waitress was very friendly and helped make it a nice relaxed experience.. maybe too relaxed, as things moved very slowly. I think they run a tight ship, she seemed to be the only waitress running the dinner service, which meant there was long periods between food, drink refills and the bill. The food was solid with decent portions. I wish there was more interesting apps, many seemed similar to the mains so we didn’t really try many. We left happy and very full.

A Culinary Hug from the Heart of Winnipeg 🌟 Feast Café Bistro isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience rooted in Indigenous pride, tradition, and hospitality. I came in for brunch… and left with something deeper. What I ordered: • BBQ Bison Ribs – fall-off-the-bone tender, rich in flavour, worth every second of the wait. • Sweetgrass Iced Tea – herbal, refreshing, and unexpectedly calming. Like sipping a story. • Bonus: the staff were incredibly kind and cooked the bison for me even though it wasn’t on the brunch menu. Indeed true legends. The space feels warm, inclusive, and grounded a quiet celebration of Indigenous culture through food. They use traditional ingredients like bannock, wild rice, sweetgrass, and bison, bringing them into delicious modern dishes that tell a story. Final Verdict: This isn’t fast food. This is food with a soul. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, appreciate the roots, and remember why food is about connection. Whether you’re a local or visiting Winnipeg, don’t miss this hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back.

We were excited to visit Feast Café Bistro in Winnipeg and try their bison dishes — and the food truly impressed us. Everything was full of flavour and clearly prepared with care and cultural pride. However, our experience was dampened by the service. The waitress didn’t seem welcoming or friendly, which made us feel a bit out of place as guests. With such excellent food, we hope the warmth of the service can match the quality coming from the kitchen.

Eggs Benedict on bannock is very delicious. Quality ingredients used. Upbeat service. A very tasty iced latte caramel crunch. Good choice of breakfast / brunch.

My friends and I like trying new local restaurants and Feast was a big hit! I had the bison eggs benny and a friend tried the pickrel slidders(pictured) there were 5 of is in total and not one empty plate. I also bought a cup of bison chili to bring home and it was delicious. Friendly service, incredible food. 100% will be back to try more menu items!

The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere has such a great vibe. I had the Bison Reuben and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted—flavourful, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can really see the effort that goes into every dish. Highly recommend stopping by!

Fantastic, local, indigenous restaurant in Winnipeg! Food is wonderful, and love the local fresh ingredients and focus on Canadian indigenous culture. Sweetgrass infused deserts are just brilliant! Very happy we went!

Love it! Love the food! Love Robyn! She is the best and always makes my experience 10/10!

Being from BC I get to eat a lot of fish but I don't get to eat freshwater fish much. And especially to taste pickrel which I grew up eating in Intario but only really get to eat when I come to Manitoba. Now you should know that a lot of places that serve pickerel serve a farmed fish from places like Kazakhstan (seriously). But not Feast. Their fish is local and fresh as is the wild rice they serve with it. Complete that with some roasted veggies and a little slab of baked bannock and you have the perfect fish dish. I have never had pickerel this exquisitely cooked. It was moist and flaked and perfectly seared. Great service and a lovely vibe and you have an excellent well hosted experience. Five stars for feast and a hearty best wishes for their continued success as they build and grow and explore Indigenous cuisine and ingredients.

FEAST is the best food i had in winnipeg (which had a surprisingly great food scene) the bison burger (pictured, $25) is ridiculously good, with tasty bison, blueberry bbq sauce and bannock. lovely dinner to send me off

A lively bistro! Packed at lunchtime on a weekday and very loud (hard to hear a conversation). Baked goods look amazing! I got the bison burger: the grass fed bison burger was extremely flavourful! Thin patty and lean meat, I personally don't think you need all the condiments to cover up the taste.The sauce is quite sweet, had a very thin slice of cheese and shredded lettuce too. The bun was sweet! Like a fried doughnut with bread texture The salad was nice! Shredded lettuce, wild rice, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and vinagrette

Here from out of town. The food is very good. Gamey, local, fresh. Its also something quite distinctive-the enormous emphasis on bison and wild game is something. The ambiance is relaxed, but delicate. And boy was the service attentive and nice. Knew when to pop in and when to leave alone to enjoy the fine food. All around a real treasure. I can see why it came very highly recommended.

Truly fabulous food! We had: Feast House Salad Field greens, cucumber, feta, red onion topped with toasted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, wild rice & homemade Saskatoon berry vinaigrette. It was really a great salad and it was a large portion. After that we had the Manitoba Pickerel with a fresh and tasty dill sauce. We also ate a mountain of their smashed mash potatoes! Next time we are in Winnipeg, we will eat there again to see what new items they have added to their menu!

Food is overpriced, staff is rude and unwelcoming and the food is subpar. I had to pay an extra 2$ for guacamole and the disrespectful server "forgets" to add it to my pick up order. If you look at the google reviews, the owner gets upset and blames the customers for giving bad reviews on her food and staff but cannot recognize she's the one common denominator.

While in Winnipeg, I visited Feast Cafe Bistro. This is a unique Indigenous restaurant with amazing food. I started off with the Butternut Squash Soup with coconut milk and a hint of ginger with corn chips. This was one of the best soups I've ever had! The combination was fantastic and it was very flavourful. I then had the Slow-Roasted Rosemary Manitoba Bison, served with potato squash mash, seasonal vegetables, horseradish, gravy jus, & wild blueberry compote. It was without a doubt an outstanding dish. The bison was soft, lean, and very rich in flavour, and the combination of the mashed potatoes and the wild blueberry compote skyrocketed the flavour of the dish because it added a bit of sourness and sweetness to activate all the flavours of the mouth. The service was outstanding and the establishment was clean. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits or lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba!

When I came to Winnipeg, I found this cute restaurant that I knew I had to try before I left. Visiting Canada, I was able to learn alot about the Native American culture, and it really sparked my curiousity in indigenous foods. This local business came up which was indigenous owned, and supported the community & I needed to try it out! I ended up getting the bison chili tipi taco - which was DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend this big time. The taco sits on bannock bread and is topped with bison chilli, this delicious salsa, corn, lettuce & this delicious maple sauce thing! It was sooooo yummy I finished it in one go even though it was so big. My boyfriend got the butternut squash bannock pizza - and this was so delicious as well. Very fresh ingredients & unique flavors - you absolutely must give this restaurant a try!

I think the concept of indigenous food restaurants is something that should be more popular and widespread. I felt honored to be able to eat here. The Bannock bread was really tasty and unique for me, I've never tried this type of bread before. I loved my "homemade very berries ice tea". I had 2 servings of it. Then I ended up getting the vegan burger with the bannock buns. I think I would have given it a 5 stars if it had more of something like vegan cheese or a more saucy sauce. Don't get me wrong though, the burger was still delicious. The fries were good but average. The service was nice and the decorations in the restaurant were really beautiful. I loved the black and white photos with a pop of color here and there.

Great place, was there on august 20th for indigenous experience! Service was great and food was delish! Highly highly recommend and we'll be going back! Ravioli with shredded bison, cheddar bison burger and the rice was so light and fluffy! Great tastes!

The food here is soooo good. The menu alone makes your mouth water. Brought my husband and mother here for a lunch while in town cause we are looking for catering for a summer event and we weren't disappointed. We ordered the Bison Poutine, Pickerel Sliders, Bison Burger, Bison Chili, and a few dessert Bannock. We shared around the table and everything was delicious. The only dish that you could say was subpar was the pickerel sliders as there was only two very small pieces of fish for such a large bannock but aside from that, it was great. In terms of ambience, don't expect anything fancy, its a bit worn for wear and more of a casual spot, which is no problem if you know. Service was efficient but nothing overtly nice or special, I think she came, took our order, got our food and that's it. Definitely recommend.

Love this restaurant -- I visit every time I'm in town. I order the same thing every time (I love it that much)... the Pow Wow Bannock Taco. Highly recommend!

Came here with two my friends for the first time even though we all live in winnipeg. We were completely blown away by how good this place is. The service was amazing and the food was even better. I had the pow wow tacos both of my friends had the bison burger everything was great. We can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu. P.S try the wild berry bannock

Wonderful little gem here in Winnipeg! Went here for dinner for the first time with my mom before our Fringe show at West end cultural center last night and we were very impressed! The restuarant has a cozy, comfortable yet modern feel. We both admired the lovely aborignal art and beautiful plants. I loved seeing the old theater ceiling tiles too. Our waitress was wonderful. The service was quick and excellent. The menu has unique & creative Manitoba options all of which are very reasonably priced. I am vegetarian and there are several options to choose from which is something I look for in choosing a restuarant. I ordered the butternut squash bannock pizza. My mom ordered the a chiptole chicken bannock taco. We also shared the wildberry bannock for dessert. We both really enjoyed our meals. Both of our meals were perfect portion sizes, but dessert is always a fun thing for my mom and I to try. Our meals were flavorful & fresh. We both thought the bannock was incredible. We loved how the bannock is used in different kinds of meals from burger buns to pizza base to our dessert topped with fruit! It was fluffy and very fresh. We couldnt help but notice others in the restuarant meals and how they all looked fantastic. We will be comming back soon!

So happy that I was able to visit this restaurant while on my first trip to Winnipeg. The restaurant is very beautiful and the service was great. I ordered the Pow Wow tacos and it was delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out and supporting more indigenous run establishments!

The food was good, nice to try something local to the area. Staff was friendly and the interior was clean and nicely decorated. Seriously, there's nothing not to like!

A very cute little cafe across from the WECC, Feast is a pillar of the west end community. Chef Christa creates delicious dishes that are a 'modern take' in traditional First Nations foods (think bannock tacos and bison burgers). The staff are fantastic but service can be a little slow some days so give yourself plenty of time. I cannot get enough of the butternut squash bannock pizza!

5 stars. Had the bison burger with bannock. Excellent! The homemade gravy for the fries was great! Topped it off with the homemade strawberry rhubarb pie! I'll be back!

Excellent food, lovely & arty decor, great service. I had the bison chili which was fantastic. Others had tacos and bison burger. All good. Highly recommended!

Had lunch today, my partner had the bison cheeseburger and I had the bison chili. The burger had a nice dark crust on it, moist inside. With the bun and toppings it was a delicious mess. The chili was tasty, spiced well, topped with melted cheese. The bannock was hot and a good combination with chili. Both meals were excellent, served promptly.

This restaurant always serves up delicious indigenous based food giving great value for wonderful comfort food served in style. I recommend it to everybody. We recently held our wedding dinner here and everybody raved about the great food. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't showcase a wider variety of their great options. Be sure to go hungry because you will want to eat all of there generous servings,

Nice ambience. Service and food good. The potato cakes were a little on the burned side but my son really enjoyed his eggs 'banny'.

This place was incredible. Lovely interior. Great service. The menu offers lots of options. The food is just incredible. I had the bison burger, the husband had the powwow taco, and we ended up ordering a pizza take home. Every bite is fantastic! Probably the best burger and fries in the city. The taco was awesome and the pizza is a MUST try. We can't wait to go back. I only wish they were open more evenings!

Went for breakfast everything was fantastic. I had the squash cakes instead of hash browns, they were very good.

We were incredibly excited to visit this restaurant and made reservations for a large party 2 weeks in advanced. When we arrived on time for our table we were told that they were working on our table. The place was clearly full and they had CLEARLY lost our reservation but wouldn't admit it. We stood in a very awkward and cramped entrance for 20 minutes while various staff came over to make excuses. I finally asked a woman if she was the manager and she corrected me that she was in the owner. There were no apologies for this, she claimed it was the tables fault for overstaying their time on our table. We were left to scramble for alternative plans on a Friday night at 7 pm.... And we're not compensated at all for this horrendous experience. I work in the service industry and this was handled terribly I understand accidents happen but this was awful. I'm sure the food is great but we didn't even get an opportunity to try it despite 2 week notice we were coming.
