Top 16 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Downtown Winnipeg

We dropped in here for some drinks and appetizers. We tried the fully-loaded crispy potatoes, beet-humus dip, and fries +dips. The fully-loaded potatoes were so incredibly good I ended up ordering two. The dish was cooked three ways, crisp, balanced flavor, and some added kick from the Jalapeno. The beet hummus was okay but could have used more seasoning. I tried the watermelon sling that tasted light, I would've maybe preferred it have more tangy/sour flavor, but it was still good. My friend loved her margaritas. Our waitress was quite pushy to make us leave when the restaurant was practically empty 🙃. However, another waitress made up for it when she brought us shots for a life event we were celebrating🎉. I'd definitely come here again and try more dishes. I'd highly recommend the fully-loaded potatoes. The menu surprisingly had many gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Had their heartbeet bowl for a gluten-free option. It was delicious and gorgeous to look at before digging in. It looked so good I was interrupted 3 times early in my meal to be asked what I had ordered, it looked so appetizing. Staff was cool and accommodating to my questions about gluten-free options.

Best burger I’ve ever had. Even with a gluten free bun. Absolutely phenomenal.

Went for a work trip dinner, and it was very tasty! My coworkers with no food allegiance allergies really liked the mushrooms and ribs appies. Had multiple gluten-free and some gluten and dairy free options. Fryer is nominally gluten-free, but they fry a lot of shellfish in it. They even had GF vegan carrot cake as a dessert option, which was a pleasant surprise.

The food was delicious but the portions could be bigger. I also appreciate the gluten friendly food!

We went for the first time on Saturday night and it was spectacular! Not just the food, but also the staff and service. I am celiac and everything was explained and there were many gluten free options. We had a wonderful experience and will be back!

I was visiting with some friends and this restaurant was highly recommended to us and it did not disappoint! Great service and delicious food. They don’t list gluten free bread as an option on their menu but they do have it! I had the Turkish eggs and it was phenomenal. They don’t take reservations but we got there right at 9am and was able to get seated right away. Otherwise be prepared for a long wait.

We visited Kevin’s Bistro for the first time today to celebrate my nephew and a friend’s graduation. With a party of about 25 people, the evening couldn’t have gone better. From start to finish, everything was handled beautifully. My wife and I arrived early and were seated right away—great service from the outset. I appreciated their local touch with a beer selection from Good Neighbour Brewing. The “Hazy IPA” was a standout. The staff were outstanding. Matt and Jen were our main servers and did a fantastic job. Even though we didn’t catch all the names, it was clear the entire team worked together seamlessly. Everyone was friendly, professional, and on the ball. As for the food—absolutely delicious! Our group ordered a wide variety of menu items, and not a single person had a complaint. My wife and I shared the “Steak Chimichurri” appetizer. The steak was perfectly tender, and the flavor was spot on. We only wished there was a bit more chimichurri sauce to go around—just a small detail, but otherwise a hit. My wife enjoyed the Pasta Alfredo and liked the subtle touch of nutmeg. I had the Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Flatbread (gluten-free), and it did not disappoint. It had a kick, but the heat didn’t overpower the great mix of flavors. I also really appreciated the number of gluten-free options on the menu. The Mac and Cheese was another crowd favorite—several people tried different versions and raved about the taste. One surprise hit was the mussels, which are only available when in stock. Those who ordered them early were very pleased, but a few latecomers missed out—so if you see them on the menu, don’t wait! Despite the restaurant being full and one of their ovens being out of commission, our entire party was served quickly and efficiently—just like the other tables around us. That really speaks to the professionalism and coordination of the kitchen staff. Truly impressive. They also offer a dessert selection from Stella’s, though most of us were too full to indulge. The ambiance was great, and we loved that the kitchen was open and visible—very clean and professional. In fact, we literally gave the kitchen staff a round of applause, along with our servers and the bartending crew. They all truly deserved it. A fun little detail: don’t bother asking to meet Kevin—he’s actually a cat, and his portrait can be found on the back wall. 🐈 All in all, we highly recommend Kevin’s Bistro and will definitely be returning. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed.
