The Blue Marble

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Winnipeg Dining Room Worth Returning To

The Blue Marble Restaurant & Lounge sits inside the Grand Hotel at Winnipeg Airport, on Wellington Avenue — and if a guest review is any measure, it has a way of changing dinner plans. Visitors who stop in for appetizers before an event tend to come back the next night instead of going elsewhere. That kind of pull is earned, not marketed.

The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2024, a recognition that speaks directly to the depth and curation of its wine list — a natural fit for a dinner experience built around thoughtful Canadian cuisine and attentive table service.

What People Order

Guest accounts point to a menu that ranges confidently across starters and mains. Spring rolls, calamari, and salmon are mentioned alongside short ribs, chicken, and steak — a spread that reflects the comfort and range you'd expect from serious Canadian cooking, without pretension. Dessert gets a mention too, as something not to skip.

The Room and the Service

What distinguishes The Blue Marble as much as the food is the quality of its service. One guest described their server Ryan as "probably THE BEST person to oversee a restaurant. Anywhere" — high praise from someone who dines out regularly. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable service is clearly part of the standard here, not the exception.

Validated parking is complimentary, and the restaurant opens for dinner seven days a week.
