One of Manitoba’s musical talents makes an uplifting first impression the moment you enter east Winnipeg’s new Belle’s Kitchen and Music Hall, a 7500 square foot rustic, Texas Style roadhouse, complete with barn board walls, salvaged chandeliers, and mismatched furnishings. Southern style is etched on the chalkboard menu in the form of smoked brisket and other meats teasing the room with aromatic allure. If that’s not a reason to visit, tender juicy meats and a selection of comforting sides – baked beans, salads, mac ‘n cheese – make for an easy sell to prairie diners.
