CAFÉ’ Carlo on Lilac just off Corydon.

The CHAISE Café’ and Lounge  and The Promenade Café’ and Wine , both on Provencher in St. Boniface.

CORRIENTES Argentine Pizzaeria and The PEASANT Cookery , both on Bannatyne , in the Exchange.

PIZZERIA Gusto  on Academy.

PINERIDGE Hollow in the RM of Springfield.

Some of my favorites are VIVA  on Sargent , always busy for Vietnamese cuisine, De Nardis on Taylor for Italian and the Quaint PRAIRIE INK in McNally Robinson .Interesting to note that the survey revealed diverse perspectives on cuisine and dinning patterns . 55%  prefer to dine close to home. Maple Syrup was #1 for national tastes , narrowly beating Poutine while Alberta beef came in third. Hang the diet , where should we have lunch?
