We all have our favourites, but sometimes it’s good to branch out and see what’s new in the Winnipeg culinary scene. Here are ten places that have opened in the past 3 years that you should put on your list.
Hoagie Boyz
Summer 2022
Started by a small team as a ghost kitchen during the pandemic, Hoagie Boyz finally found a permanent home in summer of 2022 in South Osborne. With an absurd approach to branding and fresh, local ingredients, this sub shop has quickly become a staple of the community.

Next Door
Winter 2024
Aptly named, this casual restaurant is, well…next door to Good Neighbor Brewing Co. Their stated goal is to create an environment as comfortable as your own living room, but with someone else pouring the beer and grilling the burgers!
