DAN’S DINER IN CHURCHILL
FEAST WITH VIEWS OF THE TUNDRA Churchill’s food scene is small but mighty, with many dining delights to keep you busy throughout your visit. Frontiers North Adventures hosts Dan’s Diner in February and March, where you’ll experience a culinary adventure inspired by land and sea. The unique pop-up restaurant on the frozen tundra features panoramic windows and skylights over- head for optimal northern lights viewing. Back in town, Ptarmigan serves hearty meals featuring flavoursome local ingre - dients that include elk, Manitoba honey and fireweed jelly. And for one of the most remote winter experiences in Manitoba, visit Churchill Wild’s Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge for win- ter wolf safaris and northern lights view- ings. While there, enjoy sophisticated
tundra-inspired cuisine that uses locally sourced meat, fish and produce. SAMPLE THE PROVINCE’S LATIN AMERICAN CUISINE Latin American food is full of warmth and vibrant flavours, ideal for a chilly day. Experience some of the province’s best Latin American food in Winkler, where you’ll find numerous restaurants to choose from. The beloved Flavors of Mexico is family-owned and -operated and serves a delicious assortment of enchiladas, tacos, burritos and more, all with house- made guacamole, queso and salsa. Minas Café 1027 is your one-stop shop for authentic Brazilian snacks including pão de queijo and coxinha, as well as imported grocery items. Head to Del Rios for a unique menu of Mexican and Mennonite dishes; it’s not often you can
order perogies and chimichangas in the same meal, but you can do that here. EXPERIENCE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS (AND BITES) Northern Manitoba is home to some of winter’s best experiences — and that includes culinary experiences! Enjoy the best of both worlds by visiting Flin Flon in the winter months, where Bakers Narrows Lodge offers Northern Lights Adventure packages to witness the dazzling aurora borealis dance across the sky. Dine on locally caught walleye in the lodge’s eatery or catch your own with ice fishing on Lake Athapapuskow. Head into town to try Aurora + Pine Bistro, a modern and inventive restaurant where every menu item is made in-house.
