I have been working in Winnipeg for almost two months now, and I just wanted to share little bits of what I've seen so far in the city of Winnipeg. The first night that I was there, we were invited to a Jets game at the MTS Centre. This was my first time at a hockey game and the atmosphere was quite amazing. Even though I don't normally watch hockey, it was quite an experience to watch a live game from a box.
The Forks is a famous place to gather in Winnipeg. There's a small market and some small shops inside. Similar to the St. Lawrence market, but a much smaller version. This is right by where we work so we walk over for lunch every once in a while and get a view of the river.
Based on a recommendation from a colleague, we found a nice cozy restaurant called
Segovia which serves up some wonderful tapas. The restaurant is inside a house. The dining area is quite small and they don't take reservations, so you probably want to limit your party to a small number.
My colleague and I over-ordered a bit. We had five tapas in total. First was a biscuit with prosciutto.
The a skewer of octopus and chorizo.
Then we had the duck breast with hummus. This was my favourite dish.
We had a kabob of goat.
And a beef tartar that we had to mix ourselves.
We finished off with a dessert of chocolate torte and ice-cream. We were so stuffed!
