One of our city’s most affected sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic is dining and restaurants. Throughout 2021 restaurants suffered the most as restrictions changed, sometimes limiting their capacity, and sometimes shutting them down for dining in.
With current restrictions prohibiting sitting at a restaurant, and only allowing delivery and takeout, Winnipeg’s restaurants keep on suffering.
Winnipeg’s restaurant aren’t the only ones affected by the pandemic, and many of us Winnipeggers lost our jobs or had to reduce spending.
We all want to support our local businesses but many of us struggle as well during those unprecedented times.
For that reason, we have compiled a list of the best affordable restaurants in Winnipeg, still open for delivery or takeout, that give the best value for money for us Winnipeggers.

This Vietnamese establishment is located on Portage and have a great variety of Vietnamese dishes and even some Asian/Canadian fusion (see their poutine menu).
Bahn Mi King offers large portion dishes in affordable prices, and we especially recommend their Viet Subs category, where you can get great meaty subs in under 10$.
During COVID-19 restrictions the restaurant is open for takeout as well as delivery using SkipTheDishes.
