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.

Quick and efficient service. Our server Ava was excellent. The staff were very friendly. It was a little noisy as we were sat near the kitchen. Food was excellent. The crispy chicken sandwich and tuna poke bowl were delicious. I celebrated my 18th birthday here and as a result I was treated to a complimentary sticky toffee pudding, which was very delicious
