I have been in the food industry for 20+ years and I am usually disappointed with one or more services in a restaurant be it the service or the food or sometimes both. I can say that Segovia does not disappoint in any area, the service is excellent and the knowledge the front of the staff have is exceptional. The food is always top notch and subtle with flavors that are carefully picked to match each dish with is not an easy feat to accomplish. Segovia is my favorite restaurant in Winnipeg and my wife and I go every year for our wedding anniversary as we know we will never be let down by their amazing and exceptional service in all areas. I recommend Segovia to any and everybody who truly enjoys unique flavors and a very relaxing environment.
Great service, our waiter was knowledgeable, easy to chat with and welcome to share his suggestions. The food was creative and flavorful however not what i expected of traditional Spanish cuisine. We tasted 6 menu selections and enjoyed all of the,
Great dishes with a lot of variety, vegetarian options are a little limited. Recommend repeat visits to get a real scope of the different dishes offered!

Originally slated for Dinner on Wednesday, an eight o’clock arrival finding the 43-seat Restaurant completely full with a sixty minute wait for even solo diners, it was instead on Thursday at 4:55pm that Segovia was visited, a seat at the Chefs counter easily secured though the place would again be full within an hour.
Thoroughly titled Segovia Tapas Bar and Restaurant, a name that has stuck to the Osborne Village hot spot for nearly a decade as it fully defines what was Manitoba’s first Spanish small plates venue, guests entering the space at 484 Stradbrook Avenue are first greeted by heavy wooden doors before entering a dimly lit space, the former home fully renovated and now comprised of two dining rooms including one with a full view of the kitchen.
Rustic yet elegant in design, a combination of exposed brick, wood tables, steel and leather situated behind slate countertops, Segovia represents the vision of Chef Adam Donnelly who opened the Restaurant at just 26 years old, the fact that the place remains packed six days a week despite not accepting reservations a testament to a combination of excellent service and an ever changing menu that stands out more than just locally.
Rooted in tradition but at the same time looking forward, an embrace of Winnipeg’s limited seasonality differentiating Donnelly’s cooking from what one might find in Barcelona, Bilbao or even the city from which his Restaurant takes its name, guests are wise to begin their tasting with items including Ham Croquettes or Tomato-brushed Toast topped in imported Jamon Iberico, both sold at fractions of what Celebrities like Jose Andres charge yet just as precise while fresh Canadian Razor Clams with strained Yogurt and Herbs atop toast were absolutely delightful in their balance of sweet and sour.
Treated next to Segovia’s take on Patatas Bravas, justifiably one of the few items consistently offered since day one, it was with the smoky flavor of Paprika still lingering on the lips that a sizable plate of Wild Mushrooms followed, the use of Acid and Hummus intended to be eaten on crispy Flatbread not particularly Spanish but everything about the combination wonderful and arguably the best dish tasted in all of Winnipeg.
Rounding out savories with a plump Quail grilled and served over lengths of Celeriac, the Root predictably earthy but well balanced by vibrant Salsa, it was after readying the palate with Espresso and Dark Chocolate that Dessert was served, a quartet of Churros with smooth Yogurt as good as what one will find in Mexico or overseas while Dates split and stuffed with Mascarpone plus Pistachios in a pool of Maple Syrup are as simple yet stunning as they are sweet.
Came here at the request of my sister in law who was in from out of town and had always wanted to try it. So glad we did!!! It was absolutely delicious! My husband and I tried so many things we normally wouldn’t have and loved just about all of it - especially the lamb with broccolini - it was the fave of the table! Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable and he definitely added to the enjoyment of the evening! We will definitely be back!!!
Already my kind of place 2 chefs side by side. Fried quail piri piri ...Tuna crudo w/ mojo rojo and lemon (1/2 portion)...grilled asparagus w/ walnuts, cheese and dried apple ... churros con chocolate. This meal goes into my rare orgasmic category!!!!

My wife and I are in Winnipeg for a quick shopping and spa getaway. Last night we decided to have dinner at Segovia. We have been to this restaurant multiple times and have always been happy with the experience. On this occasion it was a bit different. The room is still great. It is comfortable and nicely lit. The food was outstanding and the wine we ordered was wonderful. My issue is with our server. She was way too slow. We were waiting for her all night. We had to wait to order our tapas plates, wait to order our wine, wait for her to bring our cheese plate. She seemed to have no sense of urgency or timing. I was also very irritated by her comments about our order. She made a point of letting us know she approves of what we ordered. This is not my first time in a Tapas restaurant. I don't need the waitress to tell me that my wine is earthy and delicious. Just make sure it gets to the table before the food. Regardless of the service last night I am sure we will be back to Segovia again and again. I just hope to be seated in a different section.

Been here many times, got our usual server and she was great as well as the food. Pretty much ordered everything on the menu here. The only one that didn’t leave an impression was the charcuterie. Otherwise everything else was else. Favourites are the anchovies, and chicken croquettes from this seasons menu.
The only thing that marred this review from a five star is the hostess that was rude and cut us off when we asked for something. It was near the end of the night and she just left a sour note to the whole experience.
Will come back for the food and our usual server. But DEFINITELY would rather not interact with the hostess.
I have never had a bad experience here. Amazing food, even more amazing staff. Joel and Andrew are awesome! If you get served by either, you’re in a for a treat!
It's not my first or last time at Segovia but last night was hands down one of the best meals I have had in Winnipeg EVER. Plus something very special about Segovia is that the service was amazing. Our server explained everything on the menu and made sure to ask to see how we enjoyed our food. This is the first review of a restaurant I have ever written but that's how impressed I am. Thanks Segovia for providing a lovely atmosphere and food for my fiancé's birthday dinner.
Ordered four-five dishes for three people and it was just enough. I loved everything I ate, I and the ambiance was also very nice the only problem tough it was a bit loud. I'd say portions are good cause at all the tapas places I've been in Europe, I leave the table hungrier but it was not the case with Segovia. The bill was around 40-50$/person which was also not bad at all.
Foodie heaven. The food is divine! The balance of flavours and quality of the food is incredible. Such a treat! The place itself is so lovely, an old home that has been modernized to be aesthetically pleasing. The patio ambiance is also so nice. Loved the halloumi with tomatoes, tuna tartar, chorizo and the caramel crema with churros.
Beautiful restaurant and delicious food. Service is also great. My only critique is that the lounge area is quite small and it is easy to bump into tables and whatnot; feels a bit cramped. But overall it is a great place to eat and has a lovely atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic date or special occasion.
Amazing food. The negative review I saw complained about small portions.. this is a tapas restaurant, so of course they are small portions...
I honestly forgot to keep taking photos for this review because I was so excited about the food as it came. The waiter saw that we weren't really sure what to order so he offered to bring us different options, we agreed and he took extremely good care of us and he delivered a great selection of tapas. We had a food sensitivity in our group and they were very accommodating and attentive to this. What a great experience. Food was DELICIOUS.
One of the best restaurants in the country, in my opinion. Uber consistent in terms of service quality, food quality and overall experience. Canada doesn't have many high quality contemporary Spanish eateries and this is definitely one of them. Having been to Spain multiple times, I can say with confidence that Segovia is truly top notch.
Cozy environment and delicious food. This a multi-course restaurant with a good range of wines.
There's usually a decent waiting line. Our order took a while to arrive. But it was worth it to experience all different flavors and textures.
If you have yet to experience tapas you should do it here! Visited on a Monday evening and did not have to wait but by the time we left the place was getting busy. Ordered 2 meal plates, cheese plate and Spanish olives, loved all of it and left full and satisfied. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy. Staff were very friendly.
We went there in a Sunday evening. The restaurant opens at 5 and we arrived there about 5 min before 5. There were already people waiting. We were glad that we arrived early because the restaurant filled up quickly. Since it doesn't take reservations, it's a good idea to be there early. The food was excellent. Paella was especially good. Other dishes were also excellent. Everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. The staff made great suggestions and was able to answer all our questions concerning specific dishes and ingredients. It was an excellent evening and I highly recommend it.
Great tapas and friendly staff here at Segovia. Wine and beer selection was good. Everything was delicious. Our favourite top three dishes were the 1. Octopus, potato, Sobrassada, Ladneh 2. BBQ Chicken Paella and 3. Asparagus, walnut salsa maca with egg.
It takes a special type of food mixed with a top notch server to make a fun evening with friends all that more spectacular. Delicious every step of the way and worth the money. Do yourself a favor and make this an evening spot one day this summer and hope that you get Sam as your server!
