Globally Inspired Modern Prairie Cuisine
Around the world, people gather with food for celebration, ceremony, and connection. Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar, located in The Leaf at Assiniboine Park, explores food from across cultures, incorporating fresh, locally-sourced, and seasonal ingredients from our gardens. Craveable dishes incorporate traditional flavours and techniques from around the world, inspired by the nature that surrounds us all. Pickled, preserved, fermented or straight off the vine, local ingredients are creatively prepared to highlight the amazing growers and farmers in Manitoba. Inventive, botanical cocktails made with herbs grown in-house, seasonal fruits, and house-made syrups will delight the senses.

Menu
Experience chef driven, globally inspired cuisine. Small plates encourage the sharing and sampling of dishes that celebrate biodiversity and multiculturalism. From farm to fork, mains highlight local and seasonal favourites of the region. Cardamom, guava, sugar cane and coconut found growing in the biomes have inspired our extensive cocktail list.

At Gather Craft Kitchen & Bar, he explores our rich cultural diversity through the lens of community and food. Chef Mike has worked at Assiniboine Park for over ten years; at the Park Café, as a Banquet Chef at The Pavilion, and now as Chef at Gather.
