I was just here last night for the first time in a long time and contrary to my previous visits, I had an overall excellent experience from 8pm until almost 2am. Our server Sara checked in on us regularly so we were never without drinks or water. Kudos to the guys behind the bar who never kept us waiting long, even though the lounge was full. Sara also efficiently cleared our empty plates and glasses so they didn’t pile up on the table.
As to the food, I ordered the gyro pita platter which I’ve had before and it was tasty as usual. They gave a huge portion of both fries and Greek salad which I could barely finish. The fries were a bit saltier than I’m used to, but that’s a minor thing and I still ate half of them. The others at my table were happy with their food as well, all of which came out quickly (chicken fettuccine al fredo, bruschetta, pickerel, chicken souvlaki).
In the past (as recently as two years ago), the lounge would add a $1 “entertainment charge” on karaoke nights, which they never used to do. I remember seeing this once on my receipt and thought it was total garbage, so I’m pleased that it no longer exists. Last night I spent $43.50 before taxes on my meal, drinks for myself, and one for my friend who was celebrating his birthday. The extra $1 on top of it, while fairly harmless, would have just been insulting and unnecessary.
I understand why this place got such low ratings and negative reviews as I had the same experiences in the past, but based on last night, I have to give them a positive review. Well done!
Went there last weekend, highlight of the night had to be the music. Nice atmosphere as well but had an incident that the management did not handle very well. Only thing that saved my night had to be the patio and the music!

So with a 1.9 rating at the time of our visit I really wasn't expecting much more than a great patio spot for a bevy. If you are ranking this place against a 5 star restaurant then I can see how you might come up short (less than a 2?!) but let's call this what it is people - a dive bar. And I felt it wasn't so bad.
Being from Alberta and suffering from a bit of PST shock we weren't overly enthused about paying $7.50 a pop(1 oz.) for a classic paralyzer so we opted for the pitcher (I was a bit wary but it turned out ok) $29 for 6 oz.
There was lots of ice and it didn't curdle so point there. Taste was good but I think it may be true what another reviewer said about the well alcohol being set at 3/4 an oz. as it was not very strong.
We shared the chicken pita platter with a side of tzatziki. The chicken was a bit tough but all in all I thought for $14 to include fries and salad it was a great deal. Lots of feta on the Greek salad and the tzatziki on the pita was generous. Everything was carefully put together and presented.
I really couldn't complain about our server - she was quick attentive and very friendly. I would say she was probably one of the best parts of our visit. That being said - I'm from Calgary where the service in pubs/bars is absolutely terrible.
I do have one small critique (as picture) the condiments could use a wash. Note to management!
I'd come back on a sunny day for sure!
Best frickin nachos in Winnipeg. Huge portion and the beef was soooo flavourful! The servers were so helpful and kind. My gf was like totally super into them. Yay thank saffrons!
I wanted to treat my out of town guest to a special lunch in Winnipeg and am very pleased we chose Saffrons. Its cozy, classy environment and Aisha our server, was fantastic. She laughed right a lot with us and made our lunch that much more special. The mushroom soup was delicious. plus live music. My guest was very impressed. I would definitely return to this establishment.
We came to eat on the patio on Friday night. It was great. The weather was nice, the drinks were fabulous. The service was okay. We asked to switch to a table closer to the street and they helped us. The food was pretty good. I wouldn't recommend the calamari but the spring rolls and nacho platter were awesome. We loved out bulldogs and beasers. A nice place to sit on a summer evening.
Great ahi tuna sandwich.
I would go just for that one item. It is crusted in black and white sesame seeds and was just awesome. Hopefully it is a consistent item as I've only had it once.
Patio service is ok.
Good honey dill sauce.
SwizzleStyx. Our group had a fabulous lunch out on the patio at Saffron's today! We started with wine and nachos and I must say the nachos were some of the best I've had, very generous with the toppings. We had Greek salad, lettuce wraps, saffron mussels, and the pickerel salad and all were delicious. Service wasn't great but it was OK, we will be back.
July2016 - We were back again and it was excellent, such a nice patio on a great day. We had pasta, fusion salmon salad, chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, calamari, everything was good.
July2017 - The Swizzle Styx dined here this week and once again it was excellent. We had the pickerel salad, salmon fusion salad, fish & chips, fish tacos and all dishes were delicious and generous portions. Had a beautiful day for their fabulous patio, we will be back😊
Quick service. Delicious gluten free crust, tenderloin and tossed salad. Perfect intimate pizza joint. Karaoke was on the bar side and it was fun to listen to. I went here in the summer and didn't have a great experience in the patio but it definitely redeemed itself tonight
Excellent lunch spot. I have been here before but never really tried anything other than Greek salad with chicken. I decided to have the chili chicken wrap and it was so good, it's prob the best wrap I've had in a long time, I don't know if it's new on the menu but I wish id seen it sooner!!
Great place, high quality food, friendly service and good atmosphere,will be back again
Great lunch, super staff!
