Always a great meal here. A unique cost and romantic place with wonderful food. I always take out of town visitors here and we've never been disappointed.
This is a different place than the regular chain restaurant and is very reasonable for what you get. If your celebrating something this is a great option. Food, service and ambiance are very good.
After much anticipation I finally visited Cafe Dario Friday evening. It was everything I’d hoped it would be. My husband and I went with another couple and we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy - we were able to all have a conversation at the table and not have to shout to be heard. Our server was so friendly and attentive (and also celebrating his birthday), and just added to our overall experience.
It was a fantastic place - we all agreed we would return and recommend in the future.
Great food, 5 fabulous courses! Many gluten-free options. Creative, flavourful dishes. Friendly, attentive service. Best meal out in a long time!
I have had dinner and lunch twice now at Care Dario's, and I have never been disappointed. This has become my favourite romantic dinner date restaurant in the city; the special on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday is great (dinner for 2 with a bottle of house wine, $109). The food is exquisite here. Last night my partner had the elk ossobuco and he said it was the best meal he ever ate. I had the spicy escargot with mushrooms as an appetizer and loved early bite of it, and had the beef tenderloin with chimmichurri, and it was cooked to perfection. I love the atmosphere here, it's a small restaurant decorated with masks all over the walls. The dinner courses are brought out slowly, so be prepared to dine and have lots of time to chat with whoever you are having dinner with. Dario, the owner and head chef, came out during the meal to chat with all the patrons, he is hilarious and clearly cares about ensuring his guests have a great experience. He even took drinks orders for people and helped his waitress bus a table. All around, a great experience every time. Seriously one of Winnipeg's best restaurants.
Cafe Dario is an amazing restaurant!!. Went for a meal last night and was blown away by the delicious food .. atmosphere.. and price. The variety and beautiful presentation of each dish was fantastic. Highly recommend for the flavorful cuisine, cozy setting and friendly staff. Truly a little gem in our city!.
Highly recommend dining at Cafe Dario. Fine dining quality food in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. 5 course meal for $44 is great value for money. Good Choices of appetizer and entree. I had the escargots with Thai basil. Saucy and spicy. It was fabulous. Red pepper and tomato Soup was good. Caesar salad dressing was extra garlicky and spicy. Grilled duck was fantastic too. Desert was only average. Only the soup and desert which were average. prevented a score of 5.
Went in a group of 8.
Were seated on time.
Orders were accurately taken and served.
The lamb shank and pot pie were delicious. The beef steak is great too. Presentation was great too. Our server was attentive and proficient.
Had a great time and will be back soon.
Excellent dinner. Went for the New Year's Eve 5 course dinner and was amazed. The highlights were the soup and salad. The soup was a fantastic cream of cauliflower with caraway and saffron. So delicious, we could have stopped there. THe salad was a traditional Colombian one, with twelve grapes symbolizing each month of the year, topped with a subtle vinaigrette and toasted coconut. Unreal. The main I had was good but nothing out of the ordinary- a filet mognon topped with a house made chimichurri. But my girlfriend's salmon was the hit entree- a beautiful charbroiled fillet of salmon, topped with a Thai chile-pineapple salsa. Highly recommend this place. A hidden gem with robust flavours.
This place is magnificent. I don't think you could ever eat here and not be satisfied. The menu offers something for everyone and it tastes amazing. Usually I come for supper but I recently went for lunch. For 13$ I had a big piece of salmon with potatoes, veggies and a soup. I couldn't believe what a great deal I was getting on such awesome food. This place is a must!
My boyfriend and I were there for his Birthday. Food was amazing. Well, the portion for appetizer and dessert is so small but the main food was awesome. I brought his Birthday cake over there and asked them to bring it after dinner and they surprised me with sparkles and my boyfriend was so happy. Their staff are friendly.
A completely mellow atmosphere at lunch on a Thursday in late May. Be aware, the outdoor patio can get warm, but it's a very nice space that continues the decor of the interior. We had the good fortune to have had Dario himself waiting today, so the interactions were lively and very engaging. He is a master of the light hearted tease. The food as always was a fusion of flavors that meld into a most enjoyable gastronomic experience. The spicy pork tenderloin with mango, lives up to it's spicy name, but is well worth a try. The presentation is whimsical, as always. Without question a reliable place to find delicious fare.
I got the cheapest off the lunch menu thinking it might be subpar... I couldn't be more wrong! This stuffed chicken breast is absolutely fantastic. Might be too much to say this dish is life changing, but it is fair to say this is the best chicken breast dish I ever tasted! Found this place because of my gluten intolerant friend, and while it sounded wrong, today I thank him for that.
Second picture entrees is a beef tenderloin, so good!
What a great restaurant! Dishes are presented beautifully and are flavourful. The chef (Dario) comes out of the kitchen and explains dishes or just has fun with his guests.
I highly recommend this spot.
Tranquil & interesting atmosphere. Superb appetizer and entree choices. Excellent value for the 5⭐ 5 course meal, with bread basket also. Great to take that special someone or a guest from out of town; to impress! Serving friendly and timely. Fine wine list!
Dishes were solid, and the value can not be beat. They had a server no show the night we were there, but Dario never missed a beat. He may be happier in the kitchen, but our service was as full of laughs and we never lacked for attention. Great night had by all!
Great restaurant, we were greeted by the owner. Very cozy and homie feeling. Food is Latin American- Colombian. Price is great and includes one appetizer, soup, salad, entree and dessert for $55 each. Great selection of wine and great environment.
I had the lam chops and they were amazing. My girlfriend got the salmon and it was very tasty as well.
