While Regina, Saskatchewan, often flies under the radar compared to Canada’s larger metropolitan hubs, its culinary landscape is a testament to the prairie city’s vibrant cultural mosaic and agricultural abundance. Far from a simple meat-and-potatoes outpost, this capital city has quietly cultivated a dining scene that balances hearty, farm-to-table traditions with bold international flavors. For locals and visitors alike, exploring the restaurant scene is one of the best ways to understand the community’s character and hospitality.
The city’s geography places it at the heart of the Canadian breadbasket, meaning chefs have direct access to some of the freshest grains, lentils, and proteins in the country. This proximity to the source has inspired a generation of culinary professionals who prioritize local sourcing, seasonal menus, and a respect for the land. Whether you are looking for an upscale evening out or a casual lunch that tastes like a home-cooked meal, Regina delivers with a distinct lack of pretension.
Navigating the dining options in the Queen City can be overwhelming, especially if you are trying to balance budget, atmosphere, and dietary preferences. The restaurant scene here is spread across distinct neighborhoods, from the historic charm of the Cathedral Village to the bustling commercial corridors of the east end. Each area offers a unique vibe, ranging from cozy bistros housed in heritage buildings to sleek, modern spaces perfect for a business lunch.
What truly sets Regina apart is its resilience and community support. Many of the best kitchens in the city are independently owned and operated, run by passionate locals who have spent years perfecting their craft. These are not faceless chains; they are places where the owner often stops by your table to ask how the meal was, adding a layer of warmth that is increasingly rare in the modern dining world.
This guide aims to cut through the noise and highlight the establishments that consistently deliver exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. We have considered a variety of cuisines and price points to ensure there is something for every palate and occasion. From authentic Vietnamese pho to perfectly seared Canadian steaks, the following list represents the pinnacle of Regina’s food scene.
Whether you are a long-time resident looking to shake up your weekend routine or a traveler passing through on the Trans-Canada Highway, this curated list will point you in the right direction. Prepare to discover hidden gems, local institutions, and innovative kitchens that are putting Regina firmly on the culinary map.

I had a date night here a couple of weeks ago. We didn’t make a reservation when we arrived, but they had two spots available at the bar, so we sat there. They were going to move us once a table became available. The menu is small compared to other establishments, which I don’t mind since I am indecisive, so this helps facilitate my decision making.
We started with the Honey Pear Salad ($9), which had spinach, pear, beluga lentils, radish, goat cheese, and a honey vinaigrette. I thought portion was fair for it being a starter. Fresh veggies with a zing from the vinaigrette, yet it balanced out with the sweetness from the honey. I am no fan of goat milk, therefore the goat cheese was me stepping out of my usual comfort zone. It paired well with the salad, but not my favourite combination due to personal preferences.
We got the Pork & Pickles ($15) small plate, which had braised pork belly with mustard glaze, house-made pickled vegetables, and warm pretzels. Also something I don’t eat often since it’s not my favourite flavour profile — mustard and pickled vegetables. Mr. N wanted it and I’m never bothered in eating things I don’t like to try it out again. The pretzels were soft yet had a bit of a chew on the outer layer, and a bit salty. The pork belly was a little on the tougher side due to it being crisp on the outside, but it was fine since the fatty portions of it balanced it out. Since they were mustard seeds, it had a mild, slightly nutty flavour with no spice, so it didn’t bother me. As for the pickled veggies, I seldom eat them but Mr. N described it as different since usually there’s a lingering mild sweetness from pickled veggies that keeps you wanting more, but these ones didn’t. I don’t know how to describe it but it had a strong pickling/tangy flavour. I didn’t mind it since I kept eating it but it wasn’t Mr. N’s favourite. I had bites with every component in it, and it paired well together.
We shared the Beef & Barley ($32) entrée, which is a 12-hour braised beef cheek, red wine au jus, barley risotto, and Harris carrot purée. Let me tell you, this is a must get! That tender beef fell apart with a simple cut from a fork. Umami and full of rich flavours. The carrot purée was a good pairing since the dish is savoury, the sweetness from the carrot helped balanced it out a tad. As for the barley, it was cooked perfectly — not too soft nor too hard. It had a nice chew.
They offered us a complimentary dessert since they didn’t have a table for us, which Mr. N and I didn’t mind. I enjoyed watching the bartender make all those drinks while we were dining. All the drinks looked pretty! I was in the washroom when this happened, so Mr. N made the decision to get us the Earl Grey Cheesecake to try, and he made the right choice. Strong earl grey flavour upon first bite. When we combined it with the berry coulis, it did overtake the tea flavour though.
Overall, it was a good dining experience and I can’t wait to go back for their patio season on the rooftop.
Everything about our visit was outstanding. It takes all to impress me as I've worked in this industry for almost 30 years. The chicken schnitzel was amazing. If I could leave a six star I would! Can't wait to come back for my next visit.
Dining at Rosemary and Rye was an exceptional experience. It is refreshing to find a kitchen that honors local ingredients with such technical precision. I started with their house-made rosemary focaccia, served with an expertly whipped chili butter and a brown butter honey spread that perfectly balanced heat and sweetness.
For my main, I paired the crispy pork belly with their Prairie Tabouleh Bowl. It’s important to note that this is a unique local variation, distinct from the traditional tabouleh found in Middle Eastern cuisine; using Saskatchewan-grown lentils and Saskatoon berries instead of the classic bulgur and parsley created something entirely new. It was a masterclass in local sourcing, where the brightness of the berries and mint paired perfectly with the richness of the pork. The Choke Cherry Hen was another highlight, featuring a beautifully glazed Cornish game hen served alongside a rich, well-executed confit duck and potato hash. To round it out, they offer an excellent variety of cocktails that are just as thoughtfully crafted as the food. A must-visit for anyone who values culinary integrity and creativity. Sadly no photos as the food looked to good to stop and take a picture.
The food is as fantastic as the atmosphere is as fantastic as the service. A serious hidden gem in Regina. If you're visiting town or live here and Havnt been, give it a shot. True Saskatchewan food done right.
Finally got to dine at Rosemary and Rye and it did not disappoint. The chicken bites were a big hit. The bread and cucumber pistachio salad were also delicious. My husband ordered the schnitzel and I had the falafel dish. Everything was good and the portions were more than fair. We need to come back to try the pork belly!

It’s been on my list to try Indulge for a long time now since they opened but timing never worked out. When I saw their post that they were closing temporarily until further notice, and then them opening back up — I knew I had to visit soon. I went on a Saturday around 12:30pm and there were a couple of tables occupied. I walked in with two other groups, and some people came for takeout during my time dining there as well.
I ordered their Thai Chicken Bowl ($21), which had crispy breaded Thai chicken, peppers, onion and cabbage, served on a bed of coconut rice with a spicy coconut drizzle. Although I don’t have any dietary restrictions, it’s nice that the dish was gluten and dairy free, which enables more people the opportunity to try it. Flavour paired well together! I enjoyed the slight sweetness from the coconut rice, yet there was that light spiciness from the coconut sauce. The chicken was super crispy with a juicy interior. The veggies were fresh! The dish was enjoyable and I would eat it again. If I had to point out something that could be tweaked, I wished there was a bit more veggies and a little less rice as a personal preference. It would be nice to have a bit of everything in every bite.
Ashley, Ryan and the magic they create with their food, their drink's, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is unparalleled.
If you like incredibly delicious, home made food and magical drinks, you MUST try Indulge!! I promise, after one visit, you'll be hooked!!
BEST FOOD IN Regina! My wife, son and I just ate there and we were blown away. Locally owned and operated. They are so friendly and a great atmosphere. SUPPORT THEM, you won't regret it!! Oh, thank you for the free coleslaw. It was amazing!
Last night we returned to Indulge for another outstanding meal. As always, the restaurant is so lovely with the plants, natural light, and the boho decor is unmatched. Everything on the menu looked delicious and it was so hard to decide what to order but in the end, my husband ordered the pesto chicken bowl and I ordered the coconut curry bowl. We ate every last grain of rice and it was pretty tempting to lick the plate.
The owners are a husband and wife team and they are also the staff. They remember their customers and are so happy when people return.
We would definitely order our meals again except we want to try every other item on the menu. Our meals were around $23 and we made fresh and from scratch.
It’s a little hidden gem right behind the General Hospital. It is a 10/10 and worth finding this place.
Oh….and they have Sunday brunch!! We haven’t tried it yet but the owner mentioned it as we left so if you are someone who likes to brunch….go to Indulge.
Great steak sandwich and coffee. The menu is perfect for a bite to eat at lunch. Apparently there's a brunch menu too but it's only available on Instagram (???)

What a wonderful surprise. My hubby & I were passing through looking for a special way to spend his 70th birthday before driving back to MB. What a find. Thomas and Louie. Thank you for the incredible hospitality. The food! The presentation! The service! Top top notch. So welcoming, so delicious, so enjoyable. Sooo Memorable. Not rushed. I hope we make it back. Will definitely share our experience with friends & family and recommend highly. Congratulations on your longevity. Not surprising. Thank you for a lovely evening. Take best care.

Memories Greek Restaurant is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Regina! The double rack of lamb was absolutely exceptional—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and bursting with flavour. Every bite tasted like a trip to Greece, with authentic flavours that were simply outstanding.
From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, and the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly.
If you’re looking for authentic Greek cuisine and outstanding hospitality, Memories Greek Restaurant is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back for another incredible meal!
I visited this restaurant while staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Regina and was impressed by the atmosphere. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, and a welcoming manager who visited all the tables.
I ordered the prime rib, which was perfectly cooked and served with mushrooms, potatoes, and vegetables. The only drawback was some gristle in the meat, which prevented me from enjoying the entire portion.
Overall, it is a great fine dining spot and well worth making a reservation for a quality dining experience.
After a long day of business travel, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to another solo dinner… and then I experienced Memories Dining & Bar in Regina.
From the moment I arrived, Nick and the entire supporting team delivered truly exceptional service — attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable dining experience.
Every course was outstanding from appetizer to entrée to dessert. I was thrilled to see Coquilles St. Jacques on the menu — something you rarely come across anymore — and the excitement was only surpassed by the flawless execution of the dish itself. Absolutely exceptional.
The sea bass entrée was prepared and presented to perfection, beautifully balanced and cooked with incredible precision. And just when I thought the evening couldn’t get any better, Nick graciously made an exception and prepared the strawberries and peppercorn dessert tableside for one, even though it’s normally served for two or more.
What started as a dinner I was simply trying to “get through” completely changed the course of my evening — and honestly, my outlook on the day. Just wow.
Needless to say, I made a reservation to return again tomorrow.
UPDATE..
My second consecutive evening dining at Memories Fine Dining & Bar somehow surpassed an already exceptional first experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were remarkably attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. The level of hospitality here is something special. Owner Thomas personally made a point of stopping by the table to chat and ensure both the food quality and service levels were meeting expectations — a thoughtful touch that perfectly reflects the pride and professionalism behind this restaurant.
The evening began with escargot, prepared flawlessly and served with the same elevated standards that define every dish here. The table-side Caesar salad was not only entertaining to watch being prepared, but easily one of the best Caesars I’ve ever had. Bold, perfectly balanced, and packed with a punch that won’t soon be forgotten.
The undeniable highlight of the evening was the Beef Wellington. It was executed with expert precision, cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully. Every component on the plate demonstrated remarkable attention to detail and culinary skill. Simply put — an easy 10/10.
Thank you Thomas, Nik and Angela for another home run meal. This was my first trip to Regina, and my dining experiences at Memories over the past two nights will absolutely not be forgotten. In fact, this restaurant is worth a flight from Toronto just to dine here.
We hosted our wedding reception at Memories and could not have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food and drinks were amazing, and every staff member was so friendly and accommodating. Nick, went above and beyond to make us feel like family and helped make our night truly special. Even when our guest count exceeded expectations, the team handled everything so graciously. We 100% recommend Memories for weddings, receptions, and any special occasion!

Food was really good.
Service was very nice.
Atmosphere was ok.
I had avocado on toast and I really liked it. My wife had croissant BLT she did not like bacon very much. . The fruit bowl was very fresh.
It was a little bit on the pricier side for breakfast with tip came just over $50.00. but it's something we don't do very often so it's ok.
Had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Delta Regina. All our food at 1919 was absolutely fabulous. Fresh, delicious ingredients cooked perfectly! Della our favorite server made things extra special for my Wife (celebrating her birthday) and two kids. She helped us pick some excellent food choices as well as a fantastic Pinot that I had never tried before. People like Della are always special to interact with as they exude the presence of an owner of the restaurant not just someone working there:) When we come back to Regina, we will be returning to Delta and 1919 in large part to Della’s excellent care and customer service - we had a very special experience:)
We also want to give Chander a shout out for making our last night’s dinner also very special! A great team working at 1919!
Fantastic spot in the Lobby of thr Hotel. Lovely lovely ladies working the bar and floor. Super chatty n friendly
Icy cold brew with a snack bowl of mixed chips. Fantastic. Love bar snacks. More places need to do this!!
It was our first time at the restaurant and was very pleased with how many different options they were and that there was a very decent wine list to go with your choices.
Della, our server was fantastic and very informative and offered several great recommendations on the wines and also on the food selections. She told us of the newest additions to the menu which we decided to try.
I had the braised bison shank.And my husband had the simmered beef short ribs! Both were stellar!
We would’ve tried dessert, but we needed to get across the street to the casino for a performance so maybe next time!
When recommendation would be for the Delta to be able to put the menu up on the website for the Regina location so we can share the menu with our friends who we would love to bring with us next time. People like to see the menus and it wasn’t available, but we trusted Della‘s recommendations and we’re not disappointed.
I would like to give a special thank you to Bansari and priyanshu for their amazing service during our stay. We asked for many things, and they were always willing to help with a smile and make sure everything was taken care of. Even during busy times, they continued to provide us with such friendly, patient, and professional service. Their kindness and effort truly made our experience better. Thank you both for making our stay so enjoyable, your hard work is truly appreciated!

Food is good, but experience was just ok.
We were excited to try it. Upon entering the restaurant, everyone seemed quiet, like in a library. There's this one customer who even asked one of us to close the door, he didn't close it yet coz they're still waiting for us to enter. (We're on the other side of the road)
Food waiting time is almost an hour, i timed it, it's 46mins to be exact.
There was only one server, and we think he's the only one making the food as well (not 100% sure) but they also have online orders (coz we can hear the notification of the online app orders). I heard they have food truck event that moment - the reason why he's all alone.
Server was able to ask us if everything's ok and if we needed anything.
Food is hot when served, order is complete. Food is really good ~ that explained the high score google rating.
But overall, manpower can still be improved for shorter wait and better service.
Overall still Good experience ~ something different to try here in Regina.
First time here and it was amazing! We got the hunter schnitzel and the schnitzel with mustard sauce. Both were so good! Food came fast. Service was awesome! Can't wait to go back!
We walked in and were greeted almost instantly. Great food, service, and a quiet place to come have a friendly meal among friends.
Didn't know what to expect, but had heard such great reviews about the food and service. It is a bright and cozy place.
We had a bacon cheeseburger, Korean fried schnitzel sandwich, hunter schnitzel and schnitzel with mustard sauce. Was tempted at the looks of the cinnamon bun and chocolate cake but really didn't have room for it after our meals. All were very tasty and my husband says he would try a different schnitzel for sure as the mustard sauce was good but not as good as others that he has had.
Lots of pickups and deliveries were being done during our meals.
This restaurant is a 10/10. The food is fantastic. My dad and I were there for lunch, we both had the Hunter Schnitzel. The pickled cabbage was sweet and sour and tasted fantastic, the Spaetzle were soft and seasoned beautifully, the Schnitzel was perfect and the mushroom gravy topping it all off was some of the best gravy I have ever had. Also tried one of their cinnamon buns crispy on the outside gooey on the inside and was not overly sweet. Can not recommend this restaurant enough. Myself and my family will be regulars.
I'm a sucker for a good schnitzel, and this place delivered the goods! The Hunter Schnitzel was mouthwatering, I didn't want it to end. The borscht was delicious, seasoned just right and so tasty! AND THE CINNAMON BUNS!! Easily the best cinnamon bun over ever eaten.
Please go here.

Went here for my dad's 87th bday and it was a nice treat for the group. Its nice to get out for a better quality meal and nice atmosphere. All the food was amazing, the liver and onions, the greek salads and the baked seafood penne. The server was very thorough and attentive and they even brought my dad a piece of cheesecake to celebrate.
Steak was alright, didn't have much flavors other than salt. The mushroom, steak fries, and chicken lemon soup were delicious though. Our server Rob was amazing, very attentive and made the dining experience much better.
Grekos is much better option than The Cottage with similar style but with Grekos has way better food, service and atmosphere. Went today for 7:45pm reservation on Friday night and right from the beginning they were trying to rush us out the door. Felt rushed and with poor service. Food was very average but nothing special in terms of flavour.
I'm here only for a couple days and glad I found this place early on. Steak - amazing. Athena chicken - amazing. They even bring a tray of desserts to your table to choose from. And you guessed it - amazing. Tomorrow I'm going to have the veal cutlets. I'm told it's the most popular item on the menu (and cheapest).
You know a place is good when you're already looking forward to your next meal. It's totally a hidden gem.
Heard really good thing about this restaurant so we tried it out for our anniversary. Food was amazing. Everything came out super hot and delicious.
Staff we extra helpful and accommodating when it came to dealing with a disability and getting us a table worked.
Definitely going back and trying different dish off the menu as they where so hard to pick from they all sounded good

I finally made my way to Oxpecker! I’ve wanted to try them when I found out they are the sister restaurant to Nightjar Diner Co. in Swift Current. I’ve been trying to make a stop there each time but timing never worked when I was passing through for a road trip. I was happy to finally try their sister restaurant.
I went with my bestie, and we both ordered their BBQ Pork ($26), which had two BBQ pork skewers with a tamarind BBQ glaze, parmesan, scallions, udon “mac & cheese”, chili fried shallots, and garlic. The udon was bouncy, and had a fair amount. I enjoyed the different noodles used — just something different yet it works. I found the sauce to be a little too runny, and the cheese flavour tasted like Kraft singles cheddar cheese, which surprised me because I thought it would be another flavour profile. The pork was delicious with a good balance of lean/fatty meat and I liked the little charred parts. It was a little too sweet to eat on its own but paired well with the savoury cheese sauce. The scoop of pickled veggies did add some acidic component to cut the fat from the pork.
Excellent food, really tasty. Haven’t tried beer on tap yet. Service was very good.
We saw their patio while walking our dog and realized that it was dog friendly. We had the delicious lactofermented drunk fries and they were very fresh, hot, and delicious! There are sun umbrellas to give shade and it's a comfortable protected patio. The server brought us water and dog water without having to ask. Great service and experience!
What a great little restaurant, inside a great little brew pub. Lots of delicious beer on tap. And the kitchen has a small but delicious menu. They keep it simple but fresh and the Korean influence in most of the choices is just delicious. The whole space is quite homey. There's a bunch of pinball machines. They seem to always be playing my favorite music when I walk in the door. The staff is friendly and effective. It is a brew pub. But it's one that welcomes children, and dogs only on the patio but that's cool too. A good accessible washroom and easy to get into if your person in a wheelchair like me.
The food was ok. Was not full when we left they could have put a little more fries with the burger. The lady waitress gave us our food then left our table and a customer came in and she went to his table and she talked to him for over 20 minutes. The other waitresses were even looking at her because all she was doing was standing there talking. They were running around doing her job and finally, the guy waitress came over to our table and asked if we wanted anything and i said yeah just the bill. When we paid the guy and were leaving she was still talking to him and the place was starting to get packed. Was not Impressed at all and this will be our last time there.

Went for buffet dinner today (May 30, 2026)
Buffet three meat dishes plus Tandoori Chicken served on the table so four meat dishes in total.
Plus many vegetarian dishes.
All meat was halal.
Food was good, restaurant was clean and service was good.
They priced the buff every reasonably $20 per person.
Give a try you will like it.
Incredible food and amazing service! (I HAVE LISTED ALL ITEMS PLEASE READ.)
We attended their free unlimited buffet today, and everything was super delicious. We were so excited to try it all that we completely loaded up our plates with a bit of everything (as you can see in the photo!).
The ambiance was great, and the staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
The MENU had an amazing spread. They had salad, Hakka noodles, tandoori chicken, fish kabab, butter chicken, beef Rogan Josh, veg Manchurian, Punjabi-style chicken gravy, tandoori roti, plain rice, and rice pudding (kheer) to top it all off. And that wasn't even everything!
A huge thank you for hosting this free event. I highly recommend giving them a try. I am already planning to come back soon as a paying customer!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and beautifully prepared. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere felt warm and inviting. A must-try place in Regina for anyone who loves good Indian food!❤️
Had a wonderful experience at Royal Aroma with my friends! We tried the Paneer Lababdar, Royal Mix Platter, Zafrani Paneer Tikka, and Chilly Paneer, and every dish was packed with amazing flavors and cooked to perfection. The paneer was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the presentation was excellent.
What made our visit even better was the outstanding service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great dining experience from start to finish.
If you’re looking for authentic Indian food with great taste and excellent hospitality, Royal Aroma is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

We walked in after a large table came in with very little wait staff to look after the small groups that came in after the large group.
The wait staff where working to get food on to the large group, where the small groups where still waiting to get their orders put into the system to be made. We were there for more then 40 minutes before we got our order in and we were the first small group to be seated in the lounge area. Not sure about the dining room versus their private dinging area where the large group was. But we waited patiently to try this food.
In the end, we aren't to sure if it was worth the wait or we were just hungry and needed to be back at work right away.
The food was served at the right temperature for what we ordered.
Would I be back? Maybe... but likely for dinner versus lunch. But then it is hard to say, it is hard to staff properly when people are so finicky about when they go out to eat and what they eat. I will have to give this place another chance, just not sure when.
The atmosphere in the lounge was decent with the fireplace, other than that is all was able to see as I walked in the door of this establishment.
Today I checked out Fancy Fork Café & Bistro in Regina, and I’m still thinking about that Bistro Burger hours later.
I ordered the Bistro Burger with fries and gravy, plus the Cuban Sandwich with mushroom soup.
Let’s start with the fries and gravy because honestly? The gravy deserved its own moment. It was a lighter turkey-style gravy with a rich savoury flavour, buttery finish, and those cozy roasted notes that remind you of Thanksgiving dinner. Not super thick, but silky enough to get a thin coat on the fries. Absolutely drinkable.
Now the Bistro Burger? One of the best burgers I’ve had in Regina. This thing was massive. An 8 oz handmade patty cooked perfectly, seasoned with a smoky peppery crust on the outside while staying unbelievably juicy and tender inside. The beef literally melted in your mouth. The bacon added a salty crispness, the double cheddar brought that sharp creamy bite, and the mix of fresh onion and sautéed onion gave it both crunch and sweetness. Then the aioli tied everything together with this rich garlicky finish that made every bite feel indulgent.
It was messy in the best way possible. Had to be cut in half and squished down just to eat it.
The mushroom soup was clearly housemade. Earthy, warm, and loaded with that deep mushroom flavour that lingers after each spoonful. I personally would’ve liked it a little thicker and creamier to really push those rich notes, but it still tasted fresh and comforting.
The Cuban sandwich was also packed with flavour. The roasted pork was juicy and savoury, the salami and pepperoni added this smoky salty kick, and the melted mozzarella softened everything perfectly. Then the pickles came through with that sharp acidic crunch that cut through the richness, while the Dijon added a tangy bite on the finish. All pressed into warm artisan bread with a crisp golden exterior and soft centre.
Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out surprisingly quick considering the portion sizes.

We visited Fancy Fork recently and arrived quite late when the kitchen had already closed, but the experience was still good. The staff were very accommodating and we were still able to enjoy some drinks along with a few appetizers. Everything we had was well-prepared and enjoyable, and the service made the evening feel relaxed and pleasant despite the late timing.
Our visit on Monday night was a letdown. Initially, the server was overly attentive, checking on us every five minutes to take our order. However, after the order was placed, the service drastically declined. The server asked how our food was before we even had a chance to take a bite. Following my response that we hadn't tasted it yet, our server became noticeably absent. The food itself was disappointing; the roasted duck breast was overcooked and tough, while the chicken pesto pasta had an overwhelming broccoli flavor that wasn't indicated on the menu. When the server did return, he seemed more focused on providing boxes than checking on our satisfaction. The billing process was also inefficient, requiring us to hunt down someone to pay. Given the restaurant's past reputation, this experience was particularly underwhelming. I usually don’t like writing bad reviews but this experience was so disappointing.
That night the owner reached out to me to ask about our experience and asked if we would give him a second chance. So we went this Tuesday and to our surprise our meals were much better and service was spot on.
I have changed my star rating to reflect on our second visit.
I loved the elegant ambience—it had a luxurious feel, and the waitresses were very pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious as well as filling that I couldn’t even finish mine.

We came on a weekend evening so place was packed and after walking through the cold windy plaza, we were greeted by the warmth and the delicious aroma as soon as we opened the door to Kimchi. The server was very friendly and directed us to a booth and gave us menus. The place is clean and cozy but also quite modern in aesthetics. We ordered Japchae and Mandu for appetizers, Seafood Soondubu Jjigae Stew, Bulgogi Ssam Set, and Dakbulgogi Rice bowl for our mains. The mandu was juicy and cooked well without being oily. The Japchae was the closest you can get to how Korea House made them and that’s very high praise since i will always say KH Halmeoni made the best in Regina! It just needs a bit more meat morsels and vegetables to compete but the soy-sesame taste and texture is perfect. The Jjigae Stew will warm you up 🌶️🌶️🌶️and the Dakbulgogi is a good westernized offering. The best by far is the ssam Set! Be it the beef or the pork, it comes with the complete banchan and ssamjang dip and will definitely satisfy your korean meal cravings. We also recommend trying the Korean FruitAid Yuja and Hallabong for drinks. It’s a frizzy drink with refreshing fruit syrup perfect to counter the spice!
I ordered Gamjatang (pork bone soup) and it was THE most authentic and tasteful soup I have ever had! Even better than the ones in Vancouver or Toronto. The meat literally falls off the bones and the soup was spicy, hearty, and so flavourful. The staff (Sid, Sidra, and Chacha) were also very friendly and attentive! I loved my time here.
This place is great.
First time coming but will not be the last.
Had the pork bulgogi- hot, it was great the veggie dumpling were good too.
I want to go back and try all the soup.
The price is right too $13 for the bowl, that's better than fast-food and this was fast too.
First - Authentic Korean? - Absolutely Yes, including staff chef/cooks who are all kind and welcoming.
Second - Space - Check! Spacious inside, dont be fooled by the small door.
Third - Menu/Taste - Traditional Korean, famous Tteolbokki, Bibimbap, Jiggae, Galbi, Mandu, Bulgogi, and Kimchi we tried these and no regrets!
We came here for the food after a trip from Korea couple of months ago, and we just miss it now in Regina. Glad to find similar to the taste and experience. Definitely recommend! And will come back!
Great food! The best authentic Korean food I’ve tasted so far. I just hope that they can find a better location.
And just in case. Please keep up the taste or maintain your flavor. If you need to increase the price that’s understandable but don’t lose your authenticity.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Regina! The pasta was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and tasted incredibly fresh. The portions were great, the service was excellent, and the whole place has such a cozy atmosphere. You can really taste the quality and homemade touch in the food. Highly recommend giving Silvia’s a try!
Absolutely loved our experience at Silvia’s Italian Café! The food was fresh, homemade, and full of authentic Italian flavour. Everything tasted like it was made with care, and the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. Silvia is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. Definitely a hidden gem in Regina and somewhere I’ll happily return to!
While in town for a turnaround at the Co-op refinery I stumbled upon this lovely little restaurant tucked into the basement of the Legion in downtown Regina. During my 5 week stay I frequented this establishment 4 times enjoying the homemade tiramisu on every visit and trying 4 of her 5 entrée dishes (enjoying the Lasagna the most) every meal was superb and my experience has been echoed by the swathe of coworkers that I sent there over the last month. Highly recommended to anyone, its a hidden gem, Silvia is a sweetheart and I hope that anyone reading this enjoys their experience at her café as much as I did.
I need to preface this by saying I’ve spent some time in Northern Italy, and the food there is incredible. It tastes so good you'll wish you had your very own nonna back home.
Italian food is at its best when it’s simple, real ingredients, done well, no overthinking.
We started with a warm, soft baguette served alongside olive oil and a rich balsamic, simple, classic, and the perfect way to ease into the meal.
Right off the bat, the service here was spot on. The gentleman at the front was friendly, casual, and made you feel comfortable immediately. It set the tone before the food even hit the table.
We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and the Italian sandwich with soup.
The soup was fine, light, sweet, a little underwhelming, but the sandwich made me forget about the soup. It’s served on baguette with an airy, soft interior and golden, slightly crisp exterior. Inside, you’ve got three meats, fresh greens and a bit of arugala, melty provalone, onions dripping with a balsamic that brings it all together. I think ours was missing the pesto, or maybe a bit of basil.
The balsamic had that perfect balance slightly sweet, tangy, and rich without being overpowering. It cut through the saltiness of the meat and made every bite feel fresh. It was a gorgeous sandwich and snapped me right back to my time in Italy.
Then the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were the highlight, soft, tender, and well seasoned, they almost melted into the pasta. You can tell they were made with care. The sauce, though, was very simple. Not a bad thing, but for me, it was missing a bit of depth. I asked for black pepper and was also offered chili flakes (I declined). I love a clean tomato sauce, but I couldn’t really pick up on the basil, and it just needed a little extra something to bring it to life.
Overall, this is still one of the best Italian spots we have in Regina. When I’m craving something that feels like Italy, even just a little, this is where I’m going.

Silvia is incredible, we stopped here on our way through Regina and the service was wonderful, food was fantastic, and we wish we could go back. If I ever end up back in Regina this is high on my list.

From breakfast/brunch to lunch to supper to their lights out dark dining, I've tried it all and it's been fabulous. I enjoy the rotating seasonal menu, which is always refreshing to try something new. The lights out dark dining is my favourite with its four-course mystery menu. Such a unique experience, and I'm happy we have something like this in Regina (only in the winter months).
I really wanted to enjoy our dinner at Bar Willow Eatery, but unfortunately it was a mixed experience.
The draft beer was excellent—cold, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the meal. However, the cocktail was disappointing. It tasted very diluted and lacked flavor, especially considering the price.
The biggest letdown was the steak, which was the most expensive item on the menu. While it was presented beautifully, the meat itself was extremely tough and chewy, almost like eating rubber. It was very difficult to cut and enjoy, which was disappointing given the premium price.
The atmosphere and presentation were lovely, and the service was pleasant, but the quality of the steak simply didn’t match the cost. I hope the kitchen can improve the consistency of their food because the location has a lot of potential.
I had the pleasure of coming by this absolute gem of a restaurant for lunch today. On top of having the best view in Regina; I can now say they also have the best food and atmosphere!
I noticed a very well though-out menu with some familiar go-to options along with ones I haven’t considered before. I went with the P.E.I Muscles and the Chicken Parmesan sandwich and was blown away with the quality and flavour. (All my “Mmmm” and “Oohhh wow” sounds probably got annoying but it happens when a place exceeds your expectations)
Definitely coming back for the cool date night idea on Tuesdays!
Grounded in the old ways that put quality first, then add prairie hospitality, brings the culture-hungry traveler to a sanctuary on the lake. The wine list is the quiet revelation—a terroir-driven, low-intervention book with genuine depth (Lapierre, Tempier, Chave, Zind-Humbrecht) and every bottle offered offsale at 15% off. Highest praise for the food and service to match. Find your people here.
Can’t help but give this place 5 stars for prefect weather and stunning lake views. The staff was great, and the food was good too. My only critique is that there weren’t enough bread/crackers for two people. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Today (March 5th) my coworkers and I wanted to go for lunch. A quick look at the menu and everyone agreed.
I got the Chicken Katsu ($24) with soup ($2) and a Peach Hibiscus Soda ($4.5). I really enjoyed my drink, it was delicious and alcohol free. The Chicken Katsu was a panko-breaded chicken cutlet with tonkatsu sauce, aioli, and shredded cabbage on a brioche bun. Wow did that brioche bun smell and taste good. As a whole it was good, though I didn’t really taste the aioli and the chicken was rather thin. My soup was delicious, it was a house made Chickpea and coconut soup full of other vegetables like carrots, peas and onions. I’m pretty sure it had a hint of curry as well. Portion sizes were great.
I’m glad to see they are offering delicious and unique options, it leaves me pleased with the menu. However, despite it specifically stating they strive for in house items.. their fries looked and tasted like McDonald’s fries to me. It makes me curious to how much of their menu is actually house made.
While good, I don’t think it was $26 good. For example, you can get a traditional Katsu Sando from @mitsujapanesestreetfood Regina for $17.99. That’s a thick cut of pork, on toast, with the same toppings, AND with a side and drink.
And unfortunately many of us found the service lacking attention. It took way too long to have our order taken, we were not checked for our food, and we had to ask for our bill. When we only have about 45 min for lunch, we want to get everything wrapped up in under an hour. So we tried to come in early, beat the lunch rush and yet we still were there for just over an hour.
Completely random, but I personally feel the chairs need to be reupholstered because it still felt like I was sitting on a very flat and hard chair.
I will return and order more food but different food. Some of my coworkers want to return while others couldn’t be bothered.
Now, I’m no expert when it comes to reviewing drinks since I basically just drink water, and tea lattes all the time, haha! However, since I rarely drink alcohol, I was intrigued when my friend suggested trying the Mocktail Flight ($18) from here, which included a S’mores Espresso Martini, Grapefruit Oleo Paloma, Blood Orange Mule, and Bourbon Berry Sour.
I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the S’mores Espresso Martini since it’s coffee based, but the sugar from the s’mores component helped sweetened up the bitter flavour. The Grapefruit Oleo Paloma had notes of bitterness, tanginess, and sweetness. I did find the salted rim was too much for me, haha. The Blood Orange Mule had a slight spiciness from the ginger beer, a tad acidic, and sweetness from the blood orange. The Bourbon Berry Sour was fruity, and tart.
For food, I got the Quesabirria Tacos ($25), which were filled with slow-braised beef, and mozzarella, and topped with cilantro, onions, salsa verde, and pickled onions. It was served with consommé. The tortilla was nicely crisped with a tender, savoury beef filling and melted cheese. Everything held on together perfectly. I wished there was a tad more meat in the tacos considering the price point. The consommé was deep in umami flavour, but not as rich as others I’ve had before. It wasn’t as heavy/fatty. The additional toppings added a nice sharpness and balance to the dish. I really liked the veggies in the consommé as well, providing more depth of texture and flavour.
For dessert, I tried their Feature Cheesecake - Nutella Swirl Cheesecake with Hazelnuts ($12). I really liked the pieces of hazelnut with it, giving it a textural difference. That nutty flavour combined with the cream cheese balanced the sweetness of the Nutella.
One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Highly recommend both the food, atmosphere and drinks were 12/10.
I had the 3 taco Carnitas special. I ordered a few minutes after happy hr but they honored the special. The tacos were good but the meat i felt was bland. Will go again bc the atmosphere was great. A cool hole in the wall. Small menue, wish there was more. I would recommend it tho
I quite loved this experience. I wish I had been there with live music as they have a cute little stage but the place is still lovely! I just loved the simple decor. The wall of books is such a nice touch. The food? LOVED! had a fish taco to start and the steak frites with chimichurri >> delicious!! It was fast service and the whole ambiance was perfect!

This was our first time here.
When we walked in, we could smell the amazing aroma of freshly toasted bread. it smelled like garlic bread 🤤
Everything we tried was delicious, but our favourite was the tuna toast. The bread was especially soft and chewy, with a texture that’s very different from regular toast.
The tomato soup was also really good. We’ll definitely be back next time!
Come here if you want to pay 10$ for the world’s smallest soup!!
I was shocked when the guy at the cash handed me my “large” soup. He knew it was small and he agreed it was too expensive for the portion.
Oh! And the chicken club?? Yah, it’s cold cut chicken. No mention of that either on the menu.
So ridiculous!!! Not cool, guys!
I was really looking forward to a nice lunch today… and instead, I’m starving. And disappointed.
Finally stepped into this place for the first time, but have had sandwiches from this place a few times. It is a very interesting concept of how they do business and very hopping at lunch time. Get there early to get your choices and check out their desserts. Yummy!!
Everyday is a different set of specials and choices.
The pictures are of their pork belly sandwich that I had a while back. Someone brought me the sandwich to the office, hence I had time to admire the sandwich in front of me.
This is always my first choice when I’ve forgotten to pack a lunch for work. Very good food, a lot of variety, and very kind service. A bit pricier than you’d pay for something from the food court at the Cornwall, but I think it’s worth it for supporting local.
Incredibly delicious array of savory sandwiches and soups. Been coming all week.

Our second visit. We went with another couple of. We all enjoyed our meals. My husband and i shared a pizza, it was very good, love the crust. Our friends had fish and chips, pasta dish, they also enjoyed their meals. We had the churro sundae for desert, it was a 10/10. Our server was great, we had so much fun and laughs with her. We will definitely be back!
Casual dinner out for myself and wife.
Menu and atmosphere are presented as pub style but is to the Max in a good way!
Service was great! Up tempo, lively place. A small menu of unique cocktails and a small but well rounded selection of wine. We enjoyed the Goat Hill red from Saskatchewan. Appetizer, the shotgun shells, was interestingly good.
The entrees were portioned big and delicious! Schnitzel with mustard gravy, and "Steak Sandwich" were cooked as ordered. Also had a side of the Cajun Shrimp and it did not disappoint! Some specialty espresso coffees and deserts rounded out our night and I've got a few more menu items I'll be trying soon!
Tonite was my first visit to Tommy's and let me tell ya, it did NOT disappoint! I was invited by darling friends Nathan & Janelle and the food lived up to their hype! Some of thee best chicken wings I've ever had. Troy was our server and was incredibly attentive and just a sweetheart. Tommy's menu is outstanding! Everything is made in house and locally sourced and damn, so, so good. If you've never been, put it on you list to go! 100/10 and that is not an exaggeration! Thank you Janelle an Nathan. Twas a lovely night.
Update Nov 2025:
In a last minute decision, we decided to try Tommy’s Sunday brunch. I’m happy to report my ENTIRE family was extremely pleased. We got the Classic Benedict ($19), Crème Brulee French Toast with bacon and sausage ($19 x 2), the Speakeasy Breakfast ($21), the Breakfast BLT ($19), 3 coffees ($4 each), and one latte ($6.5).
📕 The Classic Benedict had perfect poach medium eggs, house made hollandaise, house made sourdough muffins and locally sourced back bacon. This was served with thick cut cherry smoked bacon. It was my dish and I was extremely happy. You could taste the high quality ingredients and the potatoes were very obviously cut IN HOUSE. Unfrozen potatoes are hard to come by… yes the bar is in Hell.
📕 Crème Brûlée French Toasts were an easy favourite. The bread is house made and it was caramelized!!! 😍 easily the best French toast I’ve had in the city. My family raved about these.
📕 The Speakeasy Breakfast is a classic breakfast made with locally sourced back bacon and house made bread. You can’t go wrong with simple done so well.
📕 The Breakfast BLT was very good. Originally, my brother didn’t order this, but it looked so good that he asked to waitress to let him have it 😂 She was extremely apologetic and ended up giving him 50% off. Honestly, he loved his food even if it wasn’t what he originally asked for.
📕 Coffees were ok but nothing note worthy.
The service was amazing and the food even better. Tommy’s can give you phenomenal food any time of day! I highly recommend trying their Sunday Brunch if you can.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First and foremost, I absolutely LOVE that their door is a book case. It enforces the “Speakeatery” vibe.
Before another fun Soul Shift Saturday, we had a lovely dinner. I got the Saskatoon Berry Pork Belly. After tax, it was a high price of $29.97.
While the price is steep, where else are you going to get such a meal in Regina? The gastro pub is a vibe. And the pork belly truly was a fall apart tender slice. While the berry flavour was not as strong as I expected, it paired very nicely.
Whoever designed this menu is creative and knows what they’re doing. I’ve never had spaetzle in my life but I’m converted. It’s a type of German Egg Noodle and honestly I’m very much a fan.
I’m honestly not much of a drinker and tend to default to something easy. I would like to see more cocktails on the menu or a cocktail special for the weekend. Or maybe I just need to pull the trigger and try something new!
Either way, Tommy’s has my foodie heart. It’s a good place to get really nice food. The staff are always extremely down to earth, no matter who you get.
Wife took me out for father's day. Had the fish n chips. It was very good! Only complaint is there were very few of the delicious chips! Service was good and great atmosphere.
Practical Tips for Dining Out in Regina
To make the most of your culinary journey through the Queen City, it helps to understand the local dining culture and logistics. While Regina is a friendly and accessible city, a little insider knowledge can elevate your experience, ensuring you get a table at the hottest spots and enjoy the best value for your money. Here are some essential strategies to keep in mind as you explore the local food scene.
Book Ahead for Weekend Dining
Regina’s top restaurants are popular, but the city has a relatively small number of high-end tables compared to larger metros. If you are planning to dine out on a Friday or Saturday night, or if you are attending an event at the Brandt Centre or Conexus Arts Centre, reservations are essential. Walking into a top bistro at 7 PM on a weekend will often result in a long wait or being turned away entirely.
Embrace the Local Ingredients
When scanning a menu, look for items that highlight Saskatchewan’s agricultural strengths. Dishes featuring local bison, wild rice, chanterelle mushrooms, or lentil-based creations offer a taste of the region you cannot easily replicate elsewhere. Chefs in Regina are proud of their province’s produce, and asking your server about the local sourcing is a great way to discover the freshest items on the menu.
Understand the Tipping and Tax Structure
Visitors from outside Canada should note that menu prices in Regina are subject to a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and a Goods and Services Tax (GST), which are added to your bill. Additionally, the standard tipping etiquette for good service ranges from 15% to 20%. Budget accordingly so that the final bill does not come as a surprise.
Explore Beyond the Downtown Core
While downtown Regina has a strong concentration of hotels and business travelers, some of the best food lives in the surrounding neighborhoods. Areas like Cathedral Village and the Warehouse District are walkable and brimming with character. Don’t be afraid to take a short drive or taxi to the east end, where you will find some of the city’s most beloved family-run eateries.
Check for Seasonal Hours
Saskatchewan experiences extreme weather, and while the restaurants themselves stay warm, patio season is sacred but short. Many establishments open their patios only from late May to early September. Conversely, some smaller, owner-operated restaurants may reduce their hours during the harsh winter months or take a brief summer vacation. Always check social media or call ahead to confirm hours of operation before heading out.
The dining scene in Regina is a reflection of the city itself: unassuming, generous, and full of pleasant surprises. It is a place where you can enjoy a world-class meal without the traffic jams, exorbitant parking fees, or the exhausting hype often found in bigger cities. The focus here is on the plate, the ingredients, and the people sitting across from you.
As you work your way through the list, you will likely find a new favorite spot that keeps you coming back. Whether it is the comforting warmth of a bowl of ramen on a -30 degree day or the crisp freshness of a summer salad on a sunny patio, Regina’s restaurants know how to match the mood of the moment. Enjoy the journey, and bring your appetite.
