Sunday Lunching...

This afternoon my mother and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at the beautiful Pineridge Hollow just northeast of Winnipeg. Upon arrival to this re-furbished country estate, you immediately feel the essence of country living as you pass their organic vegetable garden and make your way inside along a cobblestone path.


As we entered part of their gift shop, we soon realize that they have expanded to offer unique furnishing merchandise to surely enhance any living space whether it be country or contemporary. Inclusive of gigantic European inspired clocks, antique room dividers and even a king size Victorian style four poster bed, you seem to lose yourself and pretend for a moment how lovely it would all fit into your idyllic space.

After perusing the elaborate shop, which is spread over two full living rooms and an upstairs loft, we remember the reason for which we came. A lovely light lunch offered in their tea-room inspired dining area upstairs.

On the menu:

-Panko breaded shrimp complimented nicely with a wasabi mayo and hoisin sauce. A sweet and savory appetizer which was full of flavor and not greasy even though it is clearly a fried dish.

-Fresh vegetable hummus wrap. Light yet satisfying protein enriched wrap full of flavor. A great vegetarian option.

-Curry noodle, hoisin chicken lettuce wraps with fresh julienned vegetables. A fresh and crunchy wrap presented to the individual to create the wrap to their liking. Served with a peanut satay sauce.

The service was friendly and efficient. We received this amazing lunch all for $28. A trip that was well worth the 15 minute drive to the property which is backed north on Bird's Hill Park.
