đ¨đŚ Reginaâs Hidden Western Gem Found! đ¤Ť
This winter break, I hit the jackpot in downtown Reginaâmeet The Rooftop Bar and Grill, a cozy spot thatâs totally worth a detour if youâre passing through SK! First off, the ownerâs from Northeast Chinaâsuper warm, chatty, and kills it in the kitchen. And letâs talk portions: pure Northeast-style generosity. Two of us ate till we could barely walk, took leftovers, and the bill (before tip!) was just $80+. As someone whoâs been âtraumatizedâ by Vancouverâs sky-high prices, this made my heart (and wallet) sing đ. Letâs Dive Into the Food đ´ 1ď¸âŁ Seafood Pasta đ The star of the meal! Tangy-sweet sauce that hits just right, and the seafood? Loaded. Plump shrimp, tender scallops⌠I added a side of salmon, and it was hugeâalmost as big as my palm! Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying I wanted to lick the bowl. 2ď¸âŁ Pumpkin Soup đ Warm, creamy, and packed with rich pumpkin flavor. Perfect for Reginaâs chilly days, and the presentation? So pretty it looked like a little autumn hug in a bowl. 3ď¸âŁ Smoked Salmon Salad đĽ This appetizer stole my heart! 𼚠Smoked salmon, crisp apples, fresh veggies, and creamy avocadoâtossed in a light dressing thatâs bright and refreshing. Itâs the kind of salad that makes you excited to eat greens. 4ď¸âŁ Banana Chocolate Cake đ° Fresh out of the oven, with the ownerâs secret sauce drizzled on topâheavenly. Warm, moist, with a gooey chocolate-banana combo thatâs sweet but not overpowering. We practically fought over the last bite. 5ď¸âŁ Dry Ribs 𤤠Only at a Chinese-owned Western spot will you get bone-in dry ribs this good! Tender meat that pulls off the bone, with that perfect âdryâ crust thatâs salty, smoky, and addictive. We couldnât finish, so the owner packed it upâreheated the next day, it was still crispy and flavorful. Total Chinese stomach catnip. From the ownerâs friendly chitchat to the âno skimpingâ portions and prices that feel like a gift, this spot is a food desert oasis. Whether youâre craving comfort food, fresh seafood, or a sweet finish, The Rooftop deliversâwith heart. If youâre in Regina, do yourself a favor and track this place down. Your taste buds (and wallet) will thank you! đ đ The Rooftop Bar and Grill, Regina SK #WesternCuisine #HiddenGems #ReginaEats #FoodDesertOasis #BudgetFriendlyEats #ReginaFoodie đ´â¨
