Like the wide range of local musical acts that play at live music venue and 100-seat eatery Le Garage Café, Chef Darryl Riddle’s eclectic menu is inspired by myriad cultures. Tortière and legendary poutine with hand-cut shoestring fries reflect the St. Boniface café’s francophone neighbourhood. Meanwhile, dishes like the beautifully spiced aloo bronte spinach and black bean curry riffs off a dish Chef Darryl prepared during his culinary experience overseas in British gastropubs. 166 Provencher Blvd, 237-0737, Map 1: P-6.
