Went for my birthday dinner on Sat evening and I had not been there before. My fiance surprised me with where we were going, and I have to say that everything I ate that night was fantastic. We had one of the dinners for 2. Steak with veggies and grilled mushrooms with potatoes and a béarnaise sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection almost (1 piece was a little more rare then medium rare) and was so tender it almost melted in your mouth.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new place to try. Our server seemed to be the only server that evening so she was all over the place but she never forgot about us and was on top of our drinks most of the night. I had a fantastic evening there and am looking forward to the next visit!
we were there yesterday for dinner and jazz music. Excellent experience. Our water glasses were kept filled. Our waiter was very attentive without being annoying. He was knowledgeable about the foods and the specials. The food was really good and the portion sizes satisfying. If you like lemon you have to have their lemon tart for dessert.
I will definitely go back.
Ingredients are of the finest quality, food is meticulously prepared, menu is great blend of traditional favorites and adventurous nouvelle cuisine. Try the seafood for 2, it is pure heaven. Sommelier Curtis always has a treasure in store from his cellar...and at a very reasonable price. It is my go to for a great evening, whether it is casual or fine dining and whether it is family or friends. The flexibility of having an intimate diner for 2 in the trainbar or a larger group in the main restaurant is a huge bonus.

Resto Gare is an authentic French restaurant located in a former train station in St. Boniface. The place was revamped and had turned into this elegant restaurant when the train station was abandoned. Nowadays, customers have the option to sit either in the station or the passenger coach for a nice dinner. It's quite an experience.
The restaurant used to be one of the best fine dining restaurants in the City (it was on par with 529 Wellington). However, when the original owner passed away, the restaurant underwent some major changes. It has become more casual. Despite changes, Resto Gare is still a fine dining restaurant and it is one of my favourite French restaurants in town.
Resto Gare is an excellent place for date nights and special occasions! The food is excellent. It has excellent service and it is quite reasonably priced.
For all those out there with a sweet tooth, you'll love this! At the end of the meal, the servers always bring out a dessert cart for a wide selection of home-made desserts of the day.
I'd highly recommend you to check it out if you have never been!
Traditional french food, superb service and overall a wonderful experience.
I had the boeuf bourguignon and crème brûlée, which is admittedly the most french thing you could order.
The wine cellar is fairly large, and the server know's what to recommend so don't feel shy about asking.
I don't know what to say about this place other than to go try it. The french do things right.

I love french cuisine but had avoided going to Resto Gare due to the number of negative ratings. Luckily, my experience was very different and I had an excellent experience. I ordered the salmon with lobster risotto. The risotto was rich and flavorful without being overpowering. The asparagus had my preferred amount of crunch rather than being overdone like so many places. The salmon was well prepared but I've been spoiled with fresh salmon and mid continental really can't compete no matter how well it is cooked. I have been a server before and ours was a consummate professional. He was knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions about the wine list and made a great recommendation on a chardonnay. The food is incredibly rich but that is what I prefer. I rated as 4.5 because the lemon tart was not as committed to the lemon flavor as I would like (rather bland). All in all, we all had a great experience with tasteful music, historical decor and flavor, and attentive but not overbearing service.
Absolutely stunning. Pricy but well worth it. Took my gf here for our 1 year anniversary and they didn't let us down. First of all the place is stunning and gorgeous, brings you back many many decades. The service was perfect and the food was exceptional. This was my 3rd time here and I've brought many people who can all agree with this. Worth having a wonderful fine dining experience. This is the place!
This was an amazing restaurant. We celebrated our 23 year wedding anniversary here yesterday. We used to go to a place in St Boniface called the red lantern. But it closed years ago. I am so glad I tried this restaurant. Vanessa was an awesome waitress. She knows the entire menu and was so kind in helping us chose from an incredible menu. It was delicious, fancy and awesome. We want to go back soon. When we want French cuisine, this is where we will go and highly recommend to anyone we know. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. It's all good! And have dinner in the train car, it's cool.
Came here for a birthday and sat in the train. I loved the vintage details and felt that it added to the experience. Food was decent. I wouldn't order the escargot here because it was way too rich.
Mussels were spicy and had a good broth. The salmon and risotto was the best thing we ordered. Charcuterie was good, but not the best in Winnipeg. Prices are average for this kind of restaurant. I would come back if I were in the area, but not because I craved anything.
Lovely atmosphere - music was truly perfect, food was well prepared and excellent quality. Service was professional and friendly. A full dining experience with all the elements as they should be. The ambiance of the train car was refreshing, a little older but so elegant - a real pleasure. Definitely coming back. !!

Recently visited Resto Gare for a special occasion. The dining room is cozy, but the accoustics weren't good - the dinnertime din was a little louder than we would have liked but the space is unique. Ours was a group of 8 - 4 locals and 4 from out of town.
The service was good; our waitress was friendly and the manager/supervisor that table touched was polite and accommodated our comments.
The food was great - my boyfriend claims the mashed potatoes to be the "best ever". My sister's lamb was perfect (though a different kind of perfect than one dad makes at Christmas). Grandma's salmon was just right.
Portions are generous and none of us were left wanting.
But not to have missed out on the experience, we had dessert. A vanilla creme brulee and a lemon tart were shared by the table. The tart was rich, but delicious and the creme brulee - to die for; the crack of the caramelized top was music to our ears.
And we got to ring the bell at the end.
Overall, it was a great experience. In the cozy neighbourhoods of St Boniface, it is a bit out of my immediate stomping grounds, but I would definitely make the trip back again.
2nd time I have been and both times I left full and satisfied. The Atlantic salmon with lobster risotto is amazing! Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend a visit to the very unique restaurant.
Absolutely wonderful!!! We had our wedding there in August and everything was more than amazing. Linda was very kind, accommodating, and helpful. Especially when Covid-19 restrictions kept changing and we'd have to adjust certain details for our wedding.
The staff were and are always lovely. The food was delicious! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the Prime Rib and how good it was. A great restaurant that our families will continue to come back to for birthdays and special occasions.
First time at Resto Gare with my partner for my birthday and it was fantastic! Eric was an amazing server, he was professional, prompt, and gave my partner and I amazing hospitality. I appreciate the service he gave to us. The train is beautiful, its definitely a must see and as well as the restaurant.
When we went there was a large party in the back of the train and because of the sizing of the train the volume could get quite loud, so it was a bit hard of hearing and had to increase volume to have conversation. But it really did not damper our experience! We were still able to have an amazing dinner ! Thank you to all staff at Resto Gare!
Old world service meets today's culinary magic. Few places left in Winnipeg like this gem. If you are looking for a special place to take someone who means something to you or mark a special event this is the place. Food was simply perfect, attentive service and great decor. Make sure you consider this restaurant, one of the top places in Winnipeg.
A fantastic bit of Winnipeg's culture, and delightfully french fine dining. The restaurant is a train smushed into the old train station, with every bit of its interior and exterior oozing with character. Cozy carpeteting, china cups and crystal chandeliers. They reportedly get packed on live jazz nights.
First time at Resto Gare and Train Bar Bistro. Not much space for parking. However it was really nice inside. Decor just needs a little touching up. The food is delicious. I had the French Onion Soup for starters, it's delicious. Then I had the special for the main course, rib eye steak with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and two onion rings with gravy sauce on the bottom. That was delicious too.
We recently moved to the neighbourhood and decided to drop in for a jazz night. We didn't have a reservation and the patio was very busy, but the owner/manager found a table for us even though we only wanted to stop by for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. The patio is beautiful and the menu looks great. We will definitely be returning.
