Shaba Thai

Specializing in Thai cuisine, Shaba Thai offers everything from delicious stir fry to curries. Located next door to the West End BIZ, it’s a wonderful place to stop and enjoy your favourite Thai food!

 

 

 


 

Sultan’s Shawarma

Are the chefs at Sultan’s Shawarma the sultans of making shawarma? We think so! Featuring delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, Sultan’s Shawarma takes shawarma to a whole new level with flavorful tahini, ridiculously tender meat (or falafel if you prefer) and delicious rice!

 

 


 

X-Cues’ Café and Lounge

A West End staple, X-Cues’ has all of your homemade Italian favourites with a Winnipeg spin. Enjoy hearty Italian food, play a game of pool, and take in the local soccer culture as fans cheer on their favourite FIFA teams as they watch on several full length projector screens… something you can only do at X-Cues’.

 

 


 

Jonnies Sticky Buns

This tour wraps up with dessert from Jonnies Sticky buns and you will no doubt agree, Jonnies has some nice buns (cinnamon buns that is)! Located at 941 Portage Avnenue, Jonnie’s Sticky Buns is a timeless (albeit quaint) experience that’s complete with sublime aromas of Saigon cinnamon, the homey smell of butter and of course amazing sticky buns!
