Our go to restaurant, if you want great food and service, in a romantic and quaint setting! We have recommended this restaurant to friends and they rave about it as well! The food offers a wide selection for all and we will work our way through the menu. Sarah was our server and again was exceptional. The chef is amazing and we are lucky to have this genius creating tasty treats! This is a hidden jewel that we don't mind sharing. We just hope it doesn't get too popular! Us being selfish!!! Indulge and enjoy an evening with your love, friends or family. You will be happy with your investment in time creating memories for a lifetime!
We had a wonderful outdoor summer dining experience! Very few places satisfy our requirements: no MSG, fresh, quality ingredients, professional and courteous service, beautiful outdoor space, and quick delivery of our food. Our party of five all loved the wood fired pizza, sangria and bread pudding. Michael, the chef, chatted with us while tending the pizza oven, and described his training in Naples, Italy. We will be back!
Beautiful place to have breakfast or lunch. Take a nice stroll in the park afterwards....lucky to have such a great spot in the city!
The food, service and ambience all contributed to an amazing dining experience. The food quality and preparations far exceeded our expectations and the price point. I highly recommend this restaurant for a quiet, romantic dinner. The views out the windows were so picturesque. We will be back.
We had a great meal with friends here tonight. Beautiful park view, friendly staff and delicious food. Truly five star. So glad to have this gem of a restaurant in our neighbourhood. Can't wait to try the pizza!
Really nice place and good food! Haven't been to the park in a long time and remember the old coffee shop that used to be here. Much nicer now!
A special thanks to Prairie's Edge restaurant at Kildonan Park for making my daughter's shower an amazing event this weekend. I would highly recommend them as an option if you are hosting a bridal shower or any event. 5 stars all the way !!!! Brian and Junnel were awesome to work with. Thanks !!!!!!
Had a wonderful dining experience!!! Everything was exceptional!!!
When we arrived we were greeted with warm smiles,kind words and felt welcomed!!!
Dinner was delicious and service was exceptional.
Enjoyed the atmosphere inside and out!!Thank you
Had a wonderful birthday celebration with my husband on their 2nd day open.. The food was amazing and so was the service (thanks Kelly). My husband and I shared the Pork Belly appetizer (which I could have eaten myself it was sooo good). I had the Beef & Mushroom dish, filet mignon was cooked perfect and so was the asparagus and it was the best mushroom sauce I have ever had. I also had the sorbet trio (which is house made) for dessert. The flavors that evening were Pineapple, Rhubarb and Strawberry. It was so tasty and refreshing and visually beautiful with the addition of edible flowers, blueberries and strawberries! Look forward to coming back and trying other dishes on the menu.
Went to celebrate my Mum in Laws Birthday with breakfast today, they were very accommodating and the food and service was fantastic!!
Food and service were wonderful! Highly recommend!
I love eating here. Beautiful room in a beautiful park. Food is very good and I've always had great service. Menu provides interesting choices.
I try to go here once a month.
We were surprised at how good it was here. First of all, it's the setting that really makes it. It's in a unique building from the 1960s, but the renovations inside are quite nice. The wall of windows facing the pond/creek is huge, and lets in lots of light. It's really nice to sit outside overlooking the water.
Our kids had the burger and the spaghetti and meatballs. Both the burger patty and the meatballs were dense and not very flavourful, but the kids were fine with it. If I had gotten either of those I would have been disappointed, but I don't know if the "adult" versions are different than the kids' versions.
The sliced prime rib melt was very good - tasty beef, mushrooms with a delicious gravy, served on a nice piece of french bread. The shoestring fries were top-notch too!
The summer salad was unique and really really good. I never would have thought that quinoa, melons, arugula and field greens, and feta would work together but it was exceptionally tasty.
I'd recommend this place as a nice break during a visit to Kildonan Park.
Always Great service, nice presentation and great tasting food! A nice place we go to for special occasions with the family or just to enjoy the view and the outside in the summer!
Beet appetizer was pretty good with the arugula garnish. Beets are deep fried, so they are great. I also ordered the bison burger and it was very juicy and delicious. The shoe string fries were great and not crispy but more like double fried. The roasted half chicken was very good also. Service was quite good. Prices were a bit high but the atmosphere was great.
First time here and we tried the Smoked Arctic Char Eggs benedict and the Smoked Beef Hash. Server was super friendly and the food was FAST! Will definitely come back. š
Was in the area checking out the park and decided to pop in for drinks and apps. We were promptly greeted and decided to grab a spot on the patio. For drinks we ordered the Johnny Cash and the Rum Swizzle. We chose the bread basket, calamari, beet fritters and Mac n cheese balls for our appys. The food was fairly decent and our server was attentive. May need to come back for dinner as the entrees looked very good. A lovely patio that over looks the geese and ducks playing in the water.
Went here for a nicer dinner in the North End/Kildonan area which we don'tĀ have a lot of. The food was good which included the salads, and it was a decent portion. The Bison Burger was good however wasn'tĀ that big, while the rest of the family got Burgers and quality lamb. However, the restaurant all of the sudden stopped accepting their coupons on the weekend and it was only good through Mon - Thurs until June which bothered me, since it would have helped covered a bit of the high subtotal. Overall Good.
We had visited Food Evolution only once and had been delighted by the setting and the food. The newest manifestation of the Kildonan Park restaurant as been dubbed Prairieās Edge and it featureās locally inspired cuisine by one of my favourite Winnipeg Chefs-Michael Daquisto. We had been regulars at Pasta la Vista, a downtown restaurant that we really miss. I still dream about two of myĀ favourite menu items- Felicitous & Sympatico and That Old Black Magic.Ā While I reminiscedĀ with the creator of the dishes recently, I shared that we had never been successful in recreating the former, even though we thought we had done a pretty good job of duplicating the latter. Chef Michael suggested that he run downstairs where he archived his recipes and grab it for me. It is now safely in my possession for an upcoming celebration.
We had lunch today at Food Evolution and it was lovely.Ā The view was beautiful, the service was prompt and so very friendly.Ā Our food, fish and chips for me and a burger plate for my partner were both perfectly cooked, just the way we like them. We don't normally order dessert but we did today and they were both terrific. Thank you Food Evolution, we will be back to try your dinner menu.
Ignore Lord Igor, he's a troll! 18 reviews and 4 positive. He's FoS!
The service was fantastic! Friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable.Ā The chicken paprikash with spaetzle was delicious. The pumpkin pie with whipped cream was worth a second piece!
Food Evolution has great atmosphere with a great view over-looking the duck pond/skating rink.
I would recommend Food Evolution to anyone looking for great food with a great view.
First Time Experience. Food was great...service was good....decor excellent - went with friends and will certainly go back
Delicious!. This was certainly not the Kildonan Park Pavilion that I remember from my childhood. No hotdogs or fries tonight and I am more than pleased with that. The setting is beautiful and can only get lovelier as spring and summer set in. The restaurant is pleasant with plenty of room between tables so you aren't accidentally listening to other's conversations. The servers were friendly and hospitable.
As for the food, I started with smoked duck on butter lettuce that was perfectly dressed. The entree was beef and mushrooms done medium rare. It melted in my mouth. Dessert was new on the menu and unpronounceable but flaky pastry filled with marscapone, served warm with a scoop of real vanilla ice cream.
A real treat.
I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great Restaurant! WOOD FIRED PIZZA YUMMY!. I had been to Food Evolution for Brunch a while back and was very impressed. Moderately priced, quick service and hot delicious breakfast with a beautiful view of the park through their large wrap around windows. The restaurant was full and everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves, including the staff. Went for dinner with my bf on Valentines Day and had a great time. Again the restaurant was packed but service seemed seamless. Even though the restaurant was full, the timing of all our food and drinks was spot on. Food was really good with a nice menu selection. Shared a wood fired pizza as an appetizer which turned out to be a great decision. I am a pizza snob and this is the best authentic pizza I have ever had outside of Italy. Best in this city and believe me I have tried them all. Ran into the chef as we were leaving, tried to compliment him but he kept cutting me off thanking us for coming and asking about our evening! He seemed to genuinely care that we enjoyed ourselves. Left with a very good feeling about this place and will spread the word.
Great restaurant. We have been here 4 times since it opened. The brunch menu has changed and we think it's great. 2 eggs with bacon or ham or sausage at 7.99 is cheaper than most in the area. The dinner menu is good and will keep changing over time. Thank you WOW hospitality for coming to this side of town. The pizza and sandwiches are also good and well priced.
Food Evolution. Service very friendly, fast. Food was delicious, especially the Schnitzel.
Nice down to earth food. The menu had good variety and prices not outrageous
The only thing is they don't have a children's menu but they did offer 1/2 portion for our granddaughter
The chicken dish was the only overpriced dish we had, it would not have been enough for an adult man and at the price was not a sufficient quantity
Very impressed with the room and hopefully the city get on to making the pond in front more pleasing to the eye
Overall we enjoyed it and will be back
Finally a new restaurant in West K!. I cannot believe all the comments of people complaining about the price. I took my wife here a few nights ago, and found the prices to be very reasonable. We had an appetizer, two entrees and a $50.00 bottle of wine, and the bill came to $120.
The most expensive thing on the menu (other then wine) was under $30.
The service was good, the food was delicious, and the place was nicely renovated. The night we went it was filled mostly with seniors, but I hope it picks up and becomes a spot for younger people to hang out, have some drinks and reasonably priced dinners in West K. Lord knows there are not many options for good food in the area.....
Hits and Misses. Even though this restaurant has only been open a short time, I'm sure it will take off mainly due to a lack of fine dining options altogether in that area of the city. The interior of the restaurant is lovely and would make a great date spot. I appreciate that the menu attempts to put a twist on "comfort food" while reflecting Winnipeg's eastern European heritage and culture, especially of the surrounding neighbourhood, but they really need to expand their menu options. Milk and cookies for dessert? C'mon! I had the perogies and while they were very good, it would have been nice to try perogies filled with something other than potatoes and cheese. When I was in Eastern Europe a couple of years ago, we tried perogies filled with mushrooms, cherries, beef, etc. The steaks were ok but had been slathered in butter. The beef tenderloin and curry chicken wings were delicious...but the cheapest bottle of wine was $45! So there were some hits and misses, but I would like to come back once it has been open a few months. Looking forward to reading other reviews.
Nice place. Food 7/10 but drinks 10/10.
Interesting place for dates. Beautiful environment during summer. You can walk around the park which is btw perfect spot if you are a photo freak š
I ordered all vegetarian dishes available at the restaurant. All items tasted very good. Taylor was very helpful. She helped me find all the veggie options.
Lovely restaurant nestled in nature. Indoor and outdoor tables available. We didnāt have a reservation but they were very accommodating. Service was great, coffee is so good; very flavourful. French toast is delicious. Highly recommend. Will make a reservation next time.
Amazing food! Had my work xmas party there and enjoyed it very much.
Really good portions, the appies were quite tasty and the prime rib was some of the best I've ever had.
Highly highly recommend!
Accommodated of party of 17 just as restrictions opened up. The poor waitress was running her butt off taking care of us all and did a great job. Good portions, good food, decent prices, very nice atmosphere.
Started off with the beet fritter as an appetizer we shared. Lovely! EntrĆ©es - - 3 of us had the delicious smoked beef brisket! Yum!! Hubby had the Bison stew with bannock - - loved it! Others had the pickerel and fries and it was great. Excellent service!! Thanks Beata! So... 2 years later with friends, back for eggs benedict and I chose the kale etc option without regrets. Couldn't believe I ate it all. We got a window tableš. The service was above and beyond! 5š again!
The patio is great! Love being able to watch the ducks and geese in the pond below. Food was also great, this is our new go to for breakfast.
