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.

HY'S is the best steak House in Winnipeg, our host Danny does a 110 % awesome job. Wish we could hire him personally at home. We try to go a few times a month but our busy schedules doesn't allow that to happen.
