Late again with a review, but better late than never! May 4th, we BAGz hit the City again for an evening out at fude, a fantastic little eatery in Osborne Village.

fude gets a lot of rave reviews, and this one follows in familiar footsteps. With an eclectic menu, much of it locally sourced, fude brings innovation and flair to Manitoba's great bounty and variety of foods. Some items on the menu are subject to change seasonally, which brings even greater variety.



Toadstool Puffs and Mediterranean Dip

Our starters included a delightful puff pastry and mushroom concoction called Toadstools, as well as Mediterraean dip, chock full of artichoke and creamy cheese, served with crispy thin slices of homemade bread.  We really enjoyed this unique start to the meal, but it was difficult to choose from the appetizer menu.  There are many intriguing appetizers on offer, which makes it hard to choose.  The same held true for the entrées as well.




Clockwise: Chocolate chicken, Menage à trois,
steak,Thai pizza

We shared bits of our entrées, all of which were impressive combinations of flavours and ingredients.  The special, The Menage à Trois was particularly noteworthy --  a platter of three perfectly seasoned and prepared dishes -- Manitoba back ribs, tender and succulent, chocolate chicken skewers, a real treat of a flavour combination, and Berkshire pork tenderloin, so tender you could cut it with a fork.  We also tried the chocolate chicken, which came with a scrumptious serving of garlic mashed potatoes, and was a surprising, tasty and tender chicken dish.  The steak was also a hit, perfectly cooked and with a side of the fantastic potatoes.  Last, we tried the My Thai gourmet flatbread pizza, which was another great combo of interesting ingredients and flavours.  We ended the meal by sharing some house made ice cream, which you should surely try while you're there!

The service at fude is impeccably attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy, yet chic at the same time.  Parking might be a challenge at times, so expect a short walk, but in the summer, the Osborne Village area is interesting and lively, so the walk is a bonus.  If you are looking for some interesting and different food, try fude.  You won't be disappointed.
