    Cafe Carlo remains one of our favorite restaurants in Winnipeg. Always great specials. Many gluten free options for celiac folks.

    Ambience was perfect for our small group of 3. Trevor was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive - would definitely request him on my next visit. Food was delicious and the Dine About Winnipeg menu allowed us to save a bit of money while also having 3 courses. Entrees were generous in portions - my son had two lunches with the leftover Chili Fett :) Excellent experience - I’ll be back very soon.

    Highly recommend. Food is exceptional. Service was amazing. Can get noisy but never really distracting from conversation going on at the table.

    I have been a fan of Cafe Carlos for many years and it never disappoints. The service is always excellent, the food is consistently delicious, and the community feel inside is heart warming. Their caesar salad is the best I have ever eaten, and the fish tacos are outstanding. My friend had the pesto gnocchi which I also tasted and they were divine. This is my favourite restaurant in this city. I highly recommend it.

    2 couples for dinner. 1 diner did not enjoy the main course. The other said it was okay.They ordered the same dish. 3 of us had seafood chowder before the meal. This was delicious. This is a lovely local gem. I have enjoyed it on many occasions. Will go back.
