Glutton's Bistro

Very much Winnipeg's restaurant of the moment, Gluttons is a small bistro attached to an upscale gourmet market. Gluttons rose to national prominence when chef/owner Makoto Ono, then 28, was named the Canadian Culinary Champion in the 2007 Gold Medal Plates competition. Now a pilgrammage destination for serious foodies, the restaurant serves a daily changing, four-course prix-fixe menu, with two appetizers (one cold, one hot), main course, and dessert. Appetizers may include fois gras with port syrup or venison carpaccio, and main courses have featured seared sea scallops with cinnamon red-wine reduction, poached lobster with marinated chantrelles and burnt-butter mayonnaise, or porcini-crusted beef tenderloin. If you can't afford dinner here (with the suggested wine pairings and tip, dinner can edge toward $100 a person) or can't get reservations, try lunch, when the chef's prodigious gifts shine in an a la carte menu.
