About the restaurant

Please note: if your desired reservation time is not available, we hold lots of space for walk-ins.

We started Nonsuch to give back to our home, help grow our culture, and make Manitoba proud. We're proud to offer shareable plates with a focus on local ingredients as well as our award winning craft beer brewed in-house, just steps away from our dining room.

We make our beer. We make our food. But we founded Nonsuch to make your special moments. To appreciate your entire experience. From quiet, intimate gatherings to the grandest of celebrations, it's our honour to be in the heart of your moments.

About the restaurant

Winnipeg’s favourite cinq à sept is an intimate Brooklyn-style cocktail pub in the heart of West Broadway. The historic corner store setting is a perfect spot for after-work drinks, quiet conversation, or a relaxed date night. Come for the evening, leave feeling transported. The menu centres on carefully crafted cocktails, wines, and local draught beer, paired with a concise selection of thoughtful small plates and desserts prepared in-house.

Really lovely patio! Was great to sit outside, relax and enjoy a cocktail. The carpaccio was amazing! The live jazz was an added bonus!

Steakhouse

St. James

About the restaurant

Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!
