Great atmosphere and amazing food. The Salmon Orzo is a must. Our server was very attentive. I can’t wait to come back during patio season.

Overall, the food was amazing, and vibe was amazing. Food - the tacos were amazing, it was flavourful, chewy, and melts on the mouth. The shrimps were also light, crunchy, and doesn’t feel oily. For the butter chicken, it was good. It was spicy, the rice wasn’t hard or to water, the naan bread was a bit too dry, but overall the food was amazing. Service - the staff there were very nice, polite, and fast. Atmosphere - they play good music, the vibe is really nice, and scenic.

Good place for a drink in Winnipeg. When you look from the outside, you don't really imagine how's its inside. Great vibe. Service was not the best, but not terrible. Just average. Also, we were allocated to a table just in front of the kitchen door, so, it was quite a loud and busy spot (there were other seats available but we were allocated there). Food was good. Large variety of drinks. I've ordered a cocktail (Peach better have my money) and it was nice, however, REALLY weak for alcohol content (specially when the base is tequila), felt more like a mocktail. But it was nice. I would go back!

Second time coming here. The food is awesome again. Drinks are beautifully made. And Bo our server was so so so great. Funny, charismatic and a 10/10 for a server. We will make this our regular spot for our girls days!

After having a disappointing visit to a near by restaurant, The Pumphouse saved us by getting some delicious food for us to takeaway! Although we didn’t dine in the restaurant, the service was still top notch over the phone and in person when I went to pick it up. I was very impressed with the demeanour and warmth from the staff. Thanks again for all the help and service! The food was also delicious! As a vegan it was super easy to order, as they had a whole plant based section separated on the menu with lots of different options! The pirogies and ‘chickn’ parm sandwich were particularly delicious! Next time we’re in town we’ll definitely be back!

Always a great experience here - great food, vegan friendly options, and amazing service. Today our server Bo was extra helpful and so fun. He made special latte art and made a point to make sure we had fun during our stay. 10/10!!! Will be coming back at every opportunity

Wow!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! I ordered the Berry Soda Fizz, and poutine with The Georges chocolate brownie cake for dessert. The drink was a little less flavourful than expected, but still good. The poutine was very good, they even allowed me to replace the vegan gravy and cheese with the sauce that they braise the steak in and regular cheese. I'm pretty sensitive to gluten (celiac disease) and did not feel any symptoms afterwards. They baked the meal in the oven instead of the fryer to preserve the gluten free nature of it, which was very appreciated. The portion looks a bit small in the photo but it left me feeling satisfied. It also came piping hot which was great! The Georges comes gluten free by default. It also came very warm, I don't have much to say about it other than that it was very good. It was a little loud, however. My group were having to speak louder than usual. It's a smaller eating area, though, so I'm not surprised. Our waitress promised that all the meals would come out together, however they did not. It ended up all working out, though, because they took my meal off the bill (mine of course was custom so it took a little longer). Bathrooms are very clean. Highly recommend!!!
