🇨🇦 Regina’s Hidden Western Gem Found! 🤫

This winter break, I hit the jackpot in downtown Regina—meet The Rooftop Bar and Grill, a cozy spot that’s totally worth a detour if you’re passing through SK! First off, the owner’s from Northeast China—super warm, chatty, and kills it in the kitchen. And let’s 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 who’s been “traumatized” by Vancouver’s sky-high prices, this made my heart (and wallet) sing 😭. Let’s Dive Into the Food 🍴 1️⃣ Seafood Pasta 🍝 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 huge—almost as big as my palm! Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying I wanted to lick the bowl. 2️⃣ Pumpkin Soup 🎃 Warm, creamy, and packed with rich pumpkin flavor. Perfect for Regina’s chilly days, and the presentation? So pretty it looked like a little autumn hug in a bowl. 3️⃣ Smoked Salmon Salad 🥗 This appetizer stole my heart! 🥹 Smoked salmon, crisp apples, fresh veggies, and creamy avocado—tossed in a light dressing that’s bright and refreshing. It’s the kind of salad that makes you excited to eat greens. 4️⃣ Banana Chocolate Cake 🍰 Fresh out of the oven, with the owner’s secret sauce drizzled on top—heavenly. Warm, moist, with a gooey chocolate-banana combo that’s sweet but not overpowering. We practically fought over the last bite. 5️⃣ Dry Ribs 🤤 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 “dry” crust that’s salty, smoky, and addictive. We couldn’t finish, so the owner packed it up—reheated the next day, it was still crispy and flavorful. Total Chinese stomach catnip. From the owner’s friendly chitchat to the “no skimping” portions and prices that feel like a gift, this spot is a food desert oasis. Whether you’re craving comfort food, fresh seafood, or a sweet finish, The Rooftop delivers—with heart. If you’re in Regina, do yourself a favor and track this place down. Your taste buds (and wallet) will thank you! 🌟 📍 The Rooftop Bar and Grill, Regina SK #WesternCuisine #HiddenGems #ReginaEats #FoodDesertOasis #BudgetFriendlyEats #ReginaFoodie 🍴✨
