Dwarf no Cachette Cafe & Gift - Winnipeg, Manitoba

The food was so good I kept eating even though I was full already. I need to thank the chef for gracing this earth. I got the items from the June special menu: Himmel’s Favourite Omelette and the Merker’s Milk Pudding. The omelette was so good and the portion was huge, ... definitely worth the price. The honey and milk pudding was so refreshing, I wanted to order another one. Big giant kisses for each member of staff, even went to the gift shop upstairs to commemorate the food I ate. Read more

What an absolute GEM of a restaurant. I am visiting from Montreal for the week and have completely fallen in love with this place after only one visit. I'm so glad I'm here for a few more days because it means I'll get to go again 🤤 The best way I ... can describe this is a Japanese greasy spoon restaurant. People from Quebec will know what I mean. It's completely authentic and everything I tried was super well done. Winnipeg, you have something truly special here and I hope you know it. This Montrealer can only DREAM of having a restaurant like Dwarf no Cachette back home! Edit: I want to say that I went back for the Ramen and thought it was ok. If I am honest, it left a little bit to be desired, but I can understand, as it's not this restaurant's main specialty. The other stuff I tried was incredible though and still cannot recommend this place enough if you're in Winnipeg! Read more

Nestled in the heart of Winnipeg, Dwarf no Cachette is a hidden gem that promises an authentic Japanese dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a quaint yet inviting ambiance that sets the stage for a memorable meal. On my recent visit, I indulged in two classic ... Japanese dishes: Takoyaki and Pork Katsu Curry, accompanied by a soothing cup of Green Tea. First up, the Takoyaki—crispy on the outside, yet delightfully soft and creamy on the inside, each morsel was bursting with the savory goodness of octopus and topped with a drizzle of tangy sauce and a sprinkle of bonito flakes. It was a perfect appetizer to whet the appetite. Next, the Pork Katsu Curry—a comforting symphony of flavors and textures. The crispy yet tender pork cutlet, smothered in a rich and aromatic curry sauce, was a true delight to the senses. Paired with steamed rice, it was a hearty and satisfying dish that left me craving for more. The service at Dwarf no Cachette was impeccable. The server was attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was serene and clean, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. In conclusion, Dwarf no Cachette exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the cozy ambiance to the exceptional service and, most importantly, the delectable food, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine in Winnipeg. I wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to my next visit. Read more

Went in for random dinner and waited 10mins to snag a table. Not bad for peak hrs. The server gave us their menu from the time he directed us to our seats. They've changed their menu but their price is reasonable. The food were rich in flavor and perfect ... for the weather. I would recommend to do some upgrades in regards with the store ambiance. Furnitures fixation, and decors as well. Photos were taken during my 2018 visit. No photos taken during our meal due to the hype of capacity. Read more

Food was good. Their friend chicken dishes are all very good. Some are very plain, with just chicken, rice, and green onion, so read the menu carefully or order a side of veggies and sauces as desired. Ramen is another good option here, one of my favorites in the city! ... The restaurant has a small shop on the second floor, so you can kill time waiting for your food by browsing their trinkets and art. Read more
