What can I say, these folks know how to do steak.
Unfortunately for me, I'm celiac so need to be careful. They have a few gluten-free items on the menu and many more that can be modified to be GF.
My steak was medium, the perfect temp on my plate, and I'm fairly certain we didn't talk during the meal, but we definitely enjoyed them.
The significant other has lobster. She was in heaven.
We skipped dessert.
The only downside, and it really wasn't, was that there was a lineup, and the hostess stated we might be waiting 45 mins without a reservation. We were only waiting about 20mins while we enjoyed our Mushrooms Neptune appetizer at the bar (GF, they didn't have the potato puffs, GF on the menu), and our wine pairings were perfect.
Bonus: AWESOME bar staff and table service!
Four stars for the atmosphere is how hectic it seemed. Tight spacing and constantly moving with purpose staff, detract from a relaxing environment, but that's not anyone's fault. Maybe because we were on the 'bar side' once seated at our table.
Also not a place for those who might be watching their budget. We had a gift card and easily doubled that.

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.
Love this place so much! Service is amazing, they really care about the customers. Food is great and they have good gluten free options and substitutions. One of my favourite brunch spots!
Authentic Métis cuisine - delicious food and phenomenal service. They have a celiac menu and are very customer-focused to ensure your experience is exquisite. Regardless if you’re local or passing through Winnipeg, you won’t want to miss out on this hidden gem!
Awesome place to meet with friends and have some snackies. The cocktail menu was awesome, the charcuterie board was amazing, and I found my new favourite gluten free crackers! Highly recommend visiting.
Best ever! The updated menu is amazing and I can't wait to see what Downtown will bring. Amazing staff and always wonderful food... Even for Gluten free me!
Just wanted to provide a few comments as a person dining at the Keg with celiac disease (gluten free). I’ve had mixed experiences dining here - when it’s busy (which is often), I find that the lack of communication with servers and the kitchen regarding gluten free options and cross-contamination makes for an uneasy experience. This is greatly exacerbated by the fact that the online menu and the in-person menu both indicate different gluten free items, so it’s difficult to tell what is safe. Those with celiac often plan ahead to know what menu options they can order, so I’d appreciate this being updated to avoid confusion! However, when the restaurant is not busy, I’ve had some good experiences where I felt that my meal was celiac-safe (albeit menu confusion) and where servers were able to communicate my needs with the kitchen and share what accommodations could be made.
I would really appreciate if servers at the Keg ask guests at their table if there are any allergies prior to ordering (other restaurants in Brandon should do this too!) to help those with allergies/sensitivities/celiac feel more comfortable dining there, and to open up the conversation for guests to feel at ease. Since dining out is a real luxury these days, I think these suggestions would help create a more pleasant experience for celiacs at the Keg. Thank you!
