Eating Out Winnipeg | Vol. 03
The Tallest Poppy

The Tallest Poppy (best known for its family-style Sunday Brunch) is a very unique restaurant. With its own fresh baked challah bread, slow-cooked meals and ever changing menu, The Tallest Poppy is a different taste adventure every time. We started our adventure by perusing the mini library which mainly contains photography and art books. Then we moved on to looking at the art from their artist residency program before having our orders taken by the one and only Kitty.

I had the grilled cheese sandwich on challah with the usual rippled chips and fruit garnish on the side. Thom and Andrew LITERALLY flipped their lids at the sight of the lamb sandwich and Andrew sprung for the salad. Mark ordered “anything vegetarian” and got some kind of custom-made delicious sandwich with no name.

After the food came and went, we just sat there – stunned and satisfied. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat in the city. Andrew went as far as saying, “Best sandwich I’ve had all year,” and took it one step further to say “top five of last year!” Thom’s ‘pinion: “Best lunch in Winnipeg.” (Watch out for our upcoming blog feature, “Thom’s ‘pinion Tuesdays”)
