Can you imagine going to a Sushi restaurant with allergies to shrimp, scallops and gluten? The staff is amazing. They know exactly what we can have from their menu. Thank you so much to our server who has gotten to know us and ensures that we will not have a reaction to the food. We will be back because the food is wonderful and the staff are excellent.

About the restaurant

One of Winnipeg’s most loved and consistent neighbourhood restaurants, Cafe Carlo’s warm, unpretentious atmosphere has been a staple since 1989. Cafe Carlo’s food and drinks are a big hello to the full flavours of the world with a flirtatious wink to Italy.
Created to be craved with delicious dishes like Fett Chile, sometimes classic, sometimes modern and always fresh. Cafe Carlo’s sharing plates, pastas, seafood and daily specials offer something to be savoured with a big glass of wine or a cocktail.
Join us for a satisfying experience as you run in to friends or make new ones.

About the restaurant

Please note: if your desired reservation time is not available, we hold lots of space for walk-ins.

We started Nonsuch to give back to our home, help grow our culture, and make Manitoba proud. We're proud to offer shareable plates with a focus on local ingredients as well as our award winning craft beer brewed in-house, just steps away from our dining room.

We make our beer. We make our food. But we founded Nonsuch to make your special moments. To appreciate your entire experience. From quiet, intimate gatherings to the grandest of celebrations, it's our honour to be in the heart of your moments.
