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”)
Eating Out Winnipeg is a new feature on our blog in which we showcase the ups and downs of eating out in Winnipeg. We will be documenting our lunch experiences every Wednesday. First up: Kawaii Crepe.
Kawaii Crepe is a new local eatery that serves up both sweet and savory crepes. It just recently popped up on Osborne Street near River Avenue. The food is quite delicious with names to match such as the Tofu Dill-Lite, Chickplease and Hit Me Baby One More Thai.
Chris Kroeker highly recommends ordering from the all-day breakfast menu while Thom’s favorite pick is A Lovely Pear off of the “Sweet” menu. Andrew, being the rebel of the group, decided to create a custom crepe of his own. I’d like to mention that it is a great place to get your bubble tea fix.
As far as the look goes, I think they nailed it. The interior is bright and fairly simple. It is a great addition to the visage of Osborne street and adds a much needed “friendly” vibe.
Unfortunately, it’s quite far from our office, so we don’t get to go there for lunch as often as we’d like. But we definitely recommend it. Check out their menu right over here.
