Who would of known...pear on my pizza with a little blue cheese and prosciutto
...brilliant. we devoured our perfect za. Their salads are garden fresh and we always leave full and very happy. I more than highly recommend this adorable gem of a place!!!
My 85 year old grandmother decided she was taking my partner and I out for dinner, and we choose Bonfire Bistro. The food was pretty good, but the server, Jon was amazing. He was so patient and sweet with my grandmother, never rushing her, always making sure she understand everything; very respectful and patient. The pizza cook was great as well, as when she saw me looking for a place to stash my grandmothers walker, she jumped from behind the counter to move some chairs, so it could be close but safely out of the way. The food was good, but we are going back for the service. Thank you!
Omg what a cozy little restaurant. Casual atmosphere, nice and quiet for conversation. Food was delicious, pizza was a nice balance of delicious sauce, toppings and crust. Will go again.
I went to Bonfire Bistro for the first time last week. We ordered the Prosciutto and Pear pizza, Chicken Pesto pizza and the Pork Tenderloin specialty pizza. In addition, we ordered the Seafood Spinach Linguine. I was quite impressed by the amount of seafood that was served with the pasta and for the value we were paying for, it was totally worth it! Although we were disappointed with the uncooked clams within the seafood pasta, the food and service were both excellent overall! I would still highly recommend it!
The only down side to the restaurant is that it does not take any reservations and the maximum group that they take in is 6 people. If you have plans to check out Bonfire Bistro, arrive early to guarantee yourself a spot, otherwise, be prepared for a wait!
My family have dined at Bonfire Bistro many times. We have yet to have bad experience. Food and service is always phenomenal. Highly recommended.
Great place! The food was awesome. Server was very friendly. I had the Spicy Bonfire Pizza. A bit of spice and a bit of sweet, perfect combo. The caprese salad was fantastic. The place is happening so be prepared to wait for a table!
My buddy was a chef in Winnipeg told me I had to come to Bonfire Bistro so was in town recently so had to try it out. Its a nice little bistro with the wood fire oven in the kitchen. I ordered the bonfire flat bread with the red lentil hummus, roasted red peppers & feta cheese & I also ordered the paella. The flat bread was delicious anything with roasted red pepper on it I will love but the red lentil hummus was delicious too. Paella is a rice dish & this one comes with mussels, chicken, prawns, chorizo, green onions, peas & scallops that is bake with saffron rice. I was not a big fan of the paella the mussels ended up taking over the flavor of the entire dish it might as well have been a mussel paella. Next time I am in Winnipeg I will have to try something else here I heard from so many people that this place rocks so I will have to try it again.

Another great meal. A friend and I arrive at 6:00 on a Wednesday and we got a high table by the window which is nice. By 6:30 the place was packed. Although I love their pizzas and the salad with the warm vegetables and goat cheese, we both decided to try the specials. My friend had the pasta which came with a pork bolognese with peas and cheese. So delicious and there was so much that he took half home. The only complaint with the pastas is that there is no bread in the side. You can order water bread or flatbread but it is way more than one person can eat so unless you have two people ordering pasta, so much goes to waste.
I ordered the pea soup which had ham and chicken with a mint sour cream and paper thin slices of radish on top. Soups here never disappoint. I also had the appetizer special which was plenty of food. A bed of rice with slices of avocado surrounded by pork sausage, spicy salsa, and micro greens with a creamy sauce on the side. My only complaint here is that it was slightly warm so I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be hot or not.
I always try the two wine features before I make my choice. A great way to try new selections.
It was busy and no, it's not a quiet Romaric atmosphere but the food and service are always great.

My husband and I arrived bright and early at 5 pm on a Friday and thank goodness we did, the place fills up very quickly. We were seated immediately and service was prompt. We had barely gotten our drinks when the server, very apologetically, asked if we might mind switching tables as there was another empty two seater adjacent and the possibility to seat a part of four if were to move. Of course it was no problem and we happily scooted over for the family. It was nothing to us but the server was so pleased she offered us a free dessert! Service like that is just one of the lovely features in our great experience.
The artichoke dip was good, but both of us found it lacked flavour. We almost enjoyed the flatbread more.
Our meals, however, were sublime. My husband enjoyed the curried steak of the day and it was so flavourful and tender. The basmati rice bed was a soft pillow of delight and I was almost jealous. My gnocchi with braised boneless short rib was so rich and delicious I would eat it nearly every day if it were a feasible (and healthier) option. The short rib was so tender I didn't once need to use the knife they had brought me. The gnocchi were perfect and not as heavy as I've had in the past. The cream sauce was divine. I'm so glad it's a regular menu item!
We chose the pear cobbler with vanilla iced cream for dessert and it was a treat for sure. I sometimes am sensitive to 'maple/caramel alternatives' which can give me a headache but had no problem with this. A lot of brown sugar and butter can make anything delicious but this dessert held its own without being heavy handed.
I will continue to tell people of my wonderful experience here and can't wait to enjoy it again. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in a delicious meal with a home cooked feel.
Enjoy!
just ate here tonight, it was amazing! the waitress was awesome and the food was perfect. My wife and I both had the duck and it was cooked perfectly and the risotto with cheese croutons was soooo freaking good. the other couple with us had the lamb and whatever their cover photo dish is and both were delicious. we all had desert and a beer for around $200. i will for sure be going back again

Bonfire Bistro
This cozy little Bistro has limited parking. We parked on a nearby street.
We waited outside to be seated. With the signs in the window we weren't sure we had been seen. Not to worry we were seated quickly by our friendly server.
We had a large choice in seats in the two main rooms.
We chose a bigger table near the window.
We quickly got our menus and our choice of beverages.
We chose the chicken with fig sauce and the beet salad with goats cheese and candied walnuts.
The chicken was delicious, tender and juicy. It was served on sliced potatoes along side of carrots, broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower. The potatoes were so flavourful and cooked to perfection, the fig sauce mixing in from the chicken. The vegetables also tasted fresh and not over done.
The beet salad was tasty original. The beets were sweet buttery and tender. The goat's cheese paired wonderfully with the beets. The arugula was young and tender and not bitter, the candled walnuts being crunchy and sweet added texture and completed the salad.
Our food was brought out promptly.
The service here was excellent, the food was great, the restaurant was clean. It's a great date night spot.
Great atmosphere and food, what a find!! Prices are right where they should be average cost per dish is around $26.00.
A truly enjoyable place to dine. We didn't have a reservation, on a Friday... total parent of young children mistake, but Diana made room for us at the bar. All staff were fabulous. All of them. Everyone smiled at us and helped us to make the experience with our three young children as easy as could be. The pizza chefs even brought the pizza over so they could talk to the kids and see how they liked it.
Everything was delicious to say the least. This is the best mac and cheese I've ever had. The pizza was inhaled, and the beet and goat cheese salad was fresh, flavourful and crisp.
Of course I would rather drive here with a friend or my husband, but I wouldn't hesitate to go as a family again.
We had a lovely meal this evening at this restaurant. It wasn't the first time we had dined there. We ordered the Beet and goat cheese salad and the Manitoba chicken breast. To drink was the Aranciata flavor of San Pellegrino. The meals came fast and were delicious. I especially liked the dijon vinaigrette and candied walnuts on the salad. Great mix of flavours with the roasted beets and soft goat cheese. We were there later in the evening - around 9pm - so it wasn't that full in the restaurant, with space to have a good conversation. Ambiance is very nice. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Thanks for a great meal.
Service is wonderful. Caesar salad needs serious work and not worthy of a restaurant of this caliber. Pizza had great overall flavors but was soggy in the middle on arrival to the table and the dough lacks taste (should be able to stand as it’s own work of art since this is the restaurants’ core competence). The brisket with gnocchi is excellent.
We had a family dinner, my 4 y.o. son went home telling us “that is the best pizza” :) the food is really delicious and the presentation is great. Desserts are well done and very tasty. (Photos included) the place looks very clean and quite. Staff are also friendly and very helpful.
Great service, food quality was great. Shared a pizza and a salad - plenty for 2. Enjoyed wine, weren't rushed by server.

Went tonight with my wife and a friend and we all had Caesar salads and shared 2 wood fired pizzas. Plenty of food. Pizzas were spicy pepperoni and a pear prosciutto. The Caesar was excellent...just the right amount of homemade dressing. Pizzas were good. Spicy pepperoni not that spicy but lots of tomato and delicious pepperoni. The pear, prosciutto and onion pizza was good maybe a tad bland for me. We arrived when they opened at 5pm as they don't take reservations. The restaurant filled up fast as it doesn't seat a lot of guests. Friendly, efficient server and we topped it off with a chocolate cream brulee. Best part of a good meal. Had coffees and no alcohol. $81 + tip.
