After several friends and colleagues recommended Clementine Cafe for brunch, I recently had the pleasure of dining at Clementine Cafe and I must say, it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the cheerful ambiance to the tantalizing flavors, this eatery truly knows how to create a memorable dining experience. I had the following dishes: Chia Pudding The chia pudding I ordered was a delightful start to my meal. The creamy texture combined with the perfect balance of sweetness made it a refreshing and satisfying choice. Topped with fresh berries and a sprinkle of nuts, it was a light and healthy treat that left me wanting more. Cauliflower Salad Next up, I savored the cauliflower salad, which was a true revelation. The combination of roasted cauliflower, mixed greens, and tangy dressing created a symphony of flavors. Topped with crunchy cashews, this dish was a delightful mix of textures. The thoughtful composition of ingredients showcased the chef's creativity and attention to detail. Fried Chicken Toast The fried chicken toast at Clementine Cafe is a standout dish that beautifully blends the flavors of crispy chicken, toasted bread, and a mouthwatering sauce. Each bite was a perfect balance of savory and indulgent. Braised Bacon Benedict One cannot visit Clementine Cafe without trying their infamous bacon Benedict. The perfectly poached eggs, crispy bacon, and velvety hollandaise sauce amounted to a decadent and satisfying brunch dish. The flavors harmonized flawlessly, and the presentation was simply stunning. All in all, Clementine Cafe is certainly a culinary gem that should not be missed. Whether you're in the mood for a healthy and refreshing breakfast or a hearty and indulgent brunch, their menu offers a wide array of delectable options to suit every palate. *Disclaimer: This review is purely based on my personal experience and tastes.*

I decided to visit Clementine on my visit to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was an amazing breakfast and brunch restaurant. One of the most famous items they have here is Fried Chicken on Toast. In fact, not only are they generally known for it, but there were people waiting in line to get into the restaurant talking about this menu item. Fried Chicken on Toast came with Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Dill Ranch, Maple Calypso, Pickles, and Sourdough Toast. The chicken was fresh, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and very nicely cooked. The flavour of the fried chicken was very unique, and absolutely delicious. It had a hint of spice and a decent amount of sweetness in the buttermilk batter which made it quite flavourful. The sourdough toast with maple calypso and dill ranch added a hint of sourness and some creaminess. The toast with maple calypso and dill ranch and the buttermilk chicken with sweetness and a hint of spice was just a fantastic combination of ingredients and flavours that made this dish absolutely outstanding! This is one of the best fried chicken dishes I’ve ever had. I also had a side of Fried Potatoes which came with Chickpea Mayo, Bravas Sauce, and Green Onion. The potatoes were fresh and crispy and the sauces combined with the potatoes were absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed the cappuccino. The staff were very friendly and the service was perfect. I am very happy I came to this restaurant in Winnipeg!

Showed up before 9am on a Wednesday, and there was already a few groups gathered out front eagerly awaiting opening. Service was friendly and prompt. It's got an open kitchen which adds to the atmosphere. Food is as good as everyone says it is. Our party ordered the fried corn, the turkish eggs, and the mushroom toast. Everything was delicious, but personal favourite and standout of the dishes is the mushroom toast. The burst of flavour was unexpected and very welcome! Definitely order something with the sourdough bread. It's thick, flavourful, and got just the right chew. Just visiting, but Clementine makes me wonder if I should move to Winnipeg for the food. Accessibility information: From street level, the restaurant is down a flight of stairs with handrails. I did not see an elevator but unsure if access to one is available. There is a mix of bar height counter and farm table style seating with some lower standard height non-fixed tables and chairs. Most if not all chairs have backrests. There are hooks at the bar counter for bags and personal belongings. There are two single occupancy washrooms, one with signage indicating it is accessible, but I did not confirm availability of amenities and accessories inside the accessible washroom.

The Hype is Real Tried this place while visiting Winnipeg based on many positive reviews I read online Verdict: this place knows how to take breakfast standards and elevate them by playing with ingredient and flavour combinations and textures Many before me have done a much better job at describing and reviewing their food and experiences That said, here's a quick summary of my experience Food Eggs Benedict - thicker cut bacon, hollandaise with a slight enjoyable tang, eggs poached to perfection Breakfast potatoes - a dill vegan aioli drizzled on top with a sprinkling of green onion - an enjoyable bite Ended with root beer pudding - yes, please, also interesting, light and delicious These folks get that we eat with our eyes and they nailed it My partner and fried chicken on toast It was visually appealing but also tasty based on the one bite I was able to sneak To drink: London Fog, also delicious Service Great server, friendly, answered all of our questions, made great recommendations around what menu items paired well, attentive, service was quick Prices are very reasonable Atmosphere Cool, cozy, funky Summary Winnipeg, this place is a real gem I'll definitely go back if I ever find myself in Winnipeg again

Enjoyed a nice weekend brunch in Clementine Cafe in this nice spring weather. The dishes there are super! I ordered a burger in dip, though never thought a burger could be presented -- would the buns be soggy? would it still taste good? Let me tell you that, after I finished my burger, I just regretted I didn't order some extra toast to use up all the source -- it's just licking-finger good. Fried cauliflower salad is my wife's favorite, hm, and mine too. On top of the wonderful food, the prices can't be more reasonable -- as I remember, the most costly dish is in mid teen, while many are at a single digit, like the homemade black sausage for my side dish (and it's delicious). They don't have an extensive menu -- one page covers all. But they change the menu quite frequently. I came with a friend two years ago and now I couldn't recognize any item on the current menu. BTW, two years ago, they ranked #3 on Tripadvisor among all restaurants in Winnipeg, and now they are #2 as I just checked. Way to go, Clementine!
