Winnipeg eatery named as one of Canada's top hotel restaurants
A local hotel restaurant has been selected as one of Canada's best. Last week, OpenTable and KAYAK released a list of the country's top 50 hotel restaurants and the Fort Garry's Oval Room Brasserie made the cut. The restaurant, run by executive chef Kyle Lew, features a wide selection of dishes, including classic breakfast food like pancakes and eggs benedict, as well as lunch and dinner offerings that include pizza, lobster tail and prime beef tenderloin. To determine which restaurants made the list, OpenTable and Kayak analyzed more than one million reviews from verified OpenTable users and examined dining metrics from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2025. Oval Room Brasserie, located in downtown Winnipeg, has a 4.8 rating and 533 reviews on OpenTable.

New York City's Best Chefs Pick Their Favorite Restaurants
After we published the 2024 list of the 100 best restaurants in New York City, we asked readers what restaurant would land at No. 1 on their own lists. This year, on the occasion of our 2025 list, we decided to pose a question to some of the chefs from the list itself: What's your favorite restaurant in the city right now? Their answers show a perfectly New York variety of neighborhoods and cuisines. Some even overlap with The Times's picks — but that's purely delicious coincidence. Wu's Wonton King Chinatown, Manhattan I like to go to restaurants that remind me of home, and Wu's Wonton King does just that. It's loud and chaotic in the best way, you order too much on purpose and spin the lazy susan for hours. The crab fried rice, loaded with sweet chunks of crab, is a must: I always finish the plate. Overall, it's just the kind of place where the food does all the talking, and that's my favorite kind of spot. — Vijay Kumar, Semma 165 East Broadway (Rutgers Street) Little Pepper College Point, Queens It serves Sichuan food and is run by a really sweet family. Mom up front, pops in back. The first time I ate there I was so full of joy that when the chef came out of the kitchen for a second, I just started clapping, and then everyone else joined in. I just wanted him to know how amazing his food was. I love everything on the menu there — cumin lamb, scallion fried rice, braised fish in spicy broth, salt and pepper prawns, and cabbage with dried chiles to name a few.— Dria Atencio, Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette 18-24 College Point Boulevard (18th Avenue) Raku East Village, Manhattan Want all of The Times?
