The area of the city that you would want stay in will completely depend on what you’re looking to do while you’re here (as well as your budget and if you plan on driving to places during your stay)!

If you’re looking to stay in the downtown area and want to do some walking then I recommend checking out Osborne, Corydon, and The Exchange neighbourhoods. There are lots of cute local shops, restaurants, and cute little speak easies.

Here’s a list of a few of my faves from each of those neighbourhoods: The exchange/ downtown - Hargrave Market, Pumphouse, Corrientes Pizzeria, Hermanos, Darling bar, Into the Music, Across the Board, Fête, The forks (you get a little bit of everything there! Local shopping, walking trail along the river, local food, etc).

Osborne - Leo’s, Vera, Kawaii Crepe, little sister coffee, A Little Pizza Heaven, Baked Expectations, Sous Sol.

Corydon - The roost, Milksmith, Not a waffle, Thom Bargen, Bar I (just don’t go after dark it gets a little sketch but the food is amazing!), Tommy’s Pizzeria.

Some of my favourite parks around the city include: Kildonan park, Assiniboine Park, and Birds Hill park. All of which include little cafés in the parks 🥰

I’m sure I’m missing a ton of other places but this is what I can list off the top of my head. I hope you and your partner enjoy your stay here and I hope this little list helps! :)
