529 Wellington - Winnipeg, Manitoba

We had an absolutely lovely dinner on the patio. I started off with a refreshing bourbon renewal cocktail. They have an absolutely extensive wine list with a great selection of interesting wines. My wife and I split a salad (The beet and quinoa salad) which was perfect size for ... each of us. I had the tenderloin with portobello mushroom that was cooked to perfection. My wife had the seafood trio and each one was delicious in their own way and so much fish. We had a lovely lunch the next day. We went with the lava cake dessert and swapped out the vanilla ice cream with the chocolate ice cream (I'm a real chocoholic). It definitely left me with a chocolate buzz and was a lot of food.

The food experience is very bad. Don’t understand why there is so many 5 stars reviews. The Baguette is a regular Baguette. Butter can taste it is expensive butter but no salt. When the no-salt-added butter put on top of a slice of cold Baguette, it is just regular cafe ... meal. Tuna tartare is okay but doesn’t give us enough impression. We even forgot we order it. The sautéed mushroom only can taste salt, doesn’t have much another flavor. Shows no effort at all. The shareable Tomahawk with sauté onions and foie gras infused butter is very greasy. The whole combination is a mistake, using the leftover onion from French onion soup, and put just a regular butter on top. State that it is foie gras infused, but sorry we didn’t taste the foie gras at all. My suggestion is put some romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce and starches or veggies to make it less greasy. The Wellington beef is another dry steak served with very flat flavor demi glacé. Again, seem doesn’t put any efforts on making it. Dessert is another disaster.Chocolate lava cake is using cheap chocolate, and it tastes very floury on the chocolate cake. Vanilla ice cream doesn’t use much vanilla beans, not even use much vanilla paste. Can see there has some vanilla seeds but not much, so the rest of the vanilla flavor is depending on the vanilla extract. In conclusion: The price they charge the guest is 5 stars but the foods they serve worth 2 stars. So if you factorize the price probably it is 1 star. Read more

The 529 is the best steakhouse in Canada. The experience is phenomenal, the staff is exceptional and the food is otherworldly. If you are passing through Winnipeg you MUST stop by and eat here. Words cannot portray the experience you have at the 529. I want to personally thank ... Marnie for being an amazing, informative and hospitable waitress 6/5. Pictures are : 22 oz.

I recently dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the luxurious ambiance reminiscent of Europe. The dish I ordered, the steak, was impeccably prepared – cooked to perfection without being overdone. The wine selection lived up to my expectations, complementing the meal wonderfully. Moreover, the service provided by ... the respectful and attentive staff truly enhanced the overall dining experience. I highly recommend for anyone seeking an exquisite dining experience."

Came here for our now annual Christmas dinner with friends, and it was an incredible experience. The servers are some of the best in the city. With their expert knowledge of food and drink pairings, I was impressed. Personally, I like the server uniforms, they look like scientists. Our server walked ... us through sides, which is an experience I won't rob you of in writing, but rather something you need to experience for yourself. Food came out at perfect temp and was tasty! The presentation was top tier. My only gripe was leaving. It's very disorganized and a chaotic mess trying to get coats. The entrance creates this wild choke point, and no one can move. How the servers and food runners got through those crowds is beyond me. It's my only complaint. Other than that, the vanilla bean ice cream was flavorless. Would absolutely go again! Read more
