Segovia, Deer + Almond among Canada's best restaurants
On Tuesday, two Winnipeg restaurants were named to the Canada's Best 100 Restaurants list: Osborne Village's Segovia and the Exchange District's Deer + Almond.
The annual list, determined by a national panel of 97 judges, including chefs, restaurateurs, journalists, gourmets and industry leaders, is considered the Michelin Guide of Canada.
In listing it at No. 46, the judges singled out the contemporary takes on tapas at Segovia, run by Adam Donnelly and Carolina Konrad, who also operate Clementine in the Exchange.
"There are many reasons for sitting up and paying attention to Winnipeg’s improving culinary scene — and Segovia is the strongest case in point," judges said.
Deer + Almond, whose chef, Mandel Hitzer, also runs the annual Raw: Almond pop-up restaurant on the frozen Red and Assiniboine rivers, came in at No. 75.
"I can’t say enough how grateful I am for Winnipeg’s support," Hitzer said in a release. "We couldn’t do it without each of every supporter of the restaurant and the river pop-up. We are inspired by you."
The No. 1 restaurant on the list is Toronto's Alo.
