I find myself going down Provencher Boulevard, both on foot and on bus, quite frequently. One restaurant that has often caught my eye is Singyun Chinese restaurant. Two things about it really catch the eye. The first is the exterior of the building which is a bright, lemon yellow, with signage that looks like it has seen much better days. The second is they advertise a lunch buffet, which for the longest time was $8.99 including a canned drink, but…Continue readingSingyun Chinese Restaurant – Provencher
Tag: St. Boniface
We have a 4 pm service at St. Philip’s, and every second week we alternate between following it with a meal, or coffee and a snack. Yesterday was a coffee and snack day, and afterward a group of us went down for a meal at Blackbrid Brasserie. This was my first visit to the restaurant since I reviewed, although I do pick up their sandwiches from the Canteen which is the coffee shop attached to the restaurant. Given that the…Continue readingBlackbird Brasserie – Tache & Marion

However, I figured it was time I got there, so…Continue readingPasquales – Marion Street

So, when I heard that La Belle Baguette would be opening I was very happy. La Belle Baguette is located in the old Chez Sophie location. Chez Sophie having closed after their expansion to the pedestrian bridge by The Forks proved to be a…Continue readingLa Belle Baguette
It’s been five years since I started working in the St. Boniface area. Le Croissant was one of the first places I reviewed after moving in. I stop by every few weeks or so. I could stop by even more frequently but neither my waistline nor my wallet would appreciate that. On change in my life since I first visited, is that I have spent a lot of time reading about France and French food. Whether this be in the…Continue readingLe Croissant-Taché Avenue
