I am working on an aboriginal project in Regent Park and just had to have aboriginal food and this is the place. Aboriginal cooks who treat the kitchen as if it is their own actually means you get scratch cooking.
The corn soup with hominy corn, shredded pork, kidney beans and onions is low cooked. You get a flavorful soup that cannot come from a 50oz can. You need the large $4
Bannock is just their traditional bread, and ask for jam and butter or get their wild blueberry bannock.
There you get a hearty and fresh lunch for $6
I also had a week later the Buffalo Burger. Its actually Bison with the usual fillings and a side of coleslaw. I loved it and better than the one I had in Winnipeg.
I talked to the owner and he does catering so that would be a interesting dinner and would support the local regent park economy.
It is a great restaurant story providing First Nations food, providing jobs for local aboriginals and keeping the culture and spirit alive.
You will just be impressed on how they spent time and effort to decorate the place.
