Manitoba's Local Eats

Eat like a Manitoban

Whether you're exploring the prairies or travelling through lakeside towns, every meal is an opportunity try the flavours of Manitoba. Wondering how to experience our signature cuisines? Get started with Manitoba's top local tastes and specialties.

1. Honey dill is widely considered Manitoba’s signature sauce. Ask for it at local restaurants where they serve chicken fingers and fries—it’s the perfect combination of herby and sweet. Or, try it in a new form with our Honey Dill Hot Sauce.

2. Perogies are a beloved culinary tradition in Manitoba. These doughy dumpling-like pockets filled with savoury or sweet fillings reflect the province’s rich Ukrainian heritage. Grab the Manitoba Perogy Trail to try this beloved dish across the province.

3. “Fat boy” burgers are an iconic drive-in style burger smothered with hearty chili. It’s a messy, but tasty, meal that serves as classic comfort food to many Manitobans. Here's everything you need to know about how-to fat boy in Manitoba!

4. Pickerel is one of the freshest catches of the province (known elsewhere as walleye), perfect for the unique experience that is a shore lunch.

Manitoba Farmers' Markets

Farmers’ markets spring up across the province, sharing the bounty of our crops and the flavours of our communities. Manitoba’s largest farmers’ market is the Marchée St Norbert Farmers' Market, located in south Winnipeg.
