Hermanos Restaurant and Wine Bar

This restaurant has long been a favourite of mine, and I have been remiss in not posting about it. 

I absolutely love the energy in this historic space.  It is themed on South American dishes, and it does not disappoint.  Over the years since it opened I have found the staff consistently friendly and providing of excellent service.  The menu offers a full range of South American dishes but I have to say my favourites are the tapas style entrees.  I have to admit too that I have a passion for the Heart of Palm & Tomato Salad for lunch, unless I’m in the mood for one of their fantastic steak sandwiches and a glass of wine, the choices for which are extensive. I particularly like the malbecs and carmeneres.  The Chivito, a Uruguayan sandwich, is another popular choice.   

I’ve been to this restaurant when they have allowed charities to use the lounge to host a function and when they have had great jazz playing in the background.  It is very versatile, and a good corporate citizen.  All in all it is a wonderful place, and I’m glad to see it doing so well.  I highly recommend it.

Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria

I had a wonderful lunch today at Corrientes, which has been open for about a month.   It is associated with Hermanos, another Winnipeg restaurant which is a favourite of mine.

   

The surroundings are comfortable and the staff friendly and attentive.  Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, as well as offering options which were available to suit my preferences. 

A delightful menu including salads, pizzas, empanadas, desserts and a full selection of coffees.  Of course there was a good wine selection too.  I had the Corrientes Mixta Salad, without the hard boiled eggs; as well as the Corrientes Delugo Thin Crust Pizza.  All good, except my inconsistency to pay attention to cholesterol eating by avoiding the eggs, but having a pizza covered in lovely provolone. 

This restaurant is well worth the visit.
