A perfect 10/10 across the board! ❤️✨ We did the full Chef's Menu — 9 dishes, and I swear every single plate was perfection served with heart. I still can't get over how delicious it was. Like, we were silent because we were too busy enjoying it. We got to chat with Chef Emily — she's honestly one of the great chefs in Canada. You can taste the love and talent in every dish. And Emily?! Our service was phenomenal. She took care of us with so much love, like we were family at her table. So warm, so attentive. If you're looking for a place that feeds your stomach AND your soul — this is it. We recommend NOLA with our whole hearts. #nolawinnipeg

The yellowfin tuna crudo was fresh and flavorful, and the gunpowder roast carrots were surprisingly filling and packed with flavor. The Bananas Foster dessert is a must-try, absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. I also really enjoyed the Hollyhock House cocktail. The only minor downside is that the tables are quite close together, so you can hear conversations from nearby tables. Overall, excellent food, great drinks, and a wonderful dining experience. I would definitely come back! 😊🍸🍌✨
Lunch was excellent! Loved the shared plates! Our table had the shrimp, chicken and pork belly mains, all interesting and delicious combinations of flavours. Strongly recommend! The dessert were superb
Tried the Chef's Menu at Nola and here's my take: Tuna – fresh and delicious. Bread – simple but so good. Pork Belly – easily the star of the meal.…Tried the Chef's Menu at Nola and here's my take: Tuna – fresh and delicious. Bread – simple but so good. Pork Belly – easily the star of the meal. Perfectly cooked, tender, and paired with incredibly flavorful sides. Gyoza – lacked flavor. Scallops – unfortunately the weakest dish and some of the worst I've had. Chicken: loved the taste was something bew and different Service: Service throughout the meal was great. However, towards the end of the night (around 11 p.m.), the staff made us feel a bit rushed to leave. I understand closing time, but at a restaurant of this caliber, I expected a more relaxed ending to the experience. Overall, the food was excellent, especially the pork belly and Tuna. I'd definitely come back, but I hope the end-of-night experience feels a little more welcoming next time.

We got lucky with a reservation, and the restaurant was full the entire time we were there. That being said, it never felt overcrowded or too noisy. The atmosphere was really lovely and the open kitchen was a nice touch! Between 3 of us we shared 5 dishes and a few of the desserts, and that was more than enough food. Note that the menu items here are meant to be shared amongst the table! Some standouts were the corn + nori fritters, the beef tartare, and the scallops. The cocktails were also quite good. Service was great and we hope to come back soon!

YumYak's take
Emily Butcher’s share plates in Saint-Boniface, No. 88 on Canada’s 100 Best 2026.
Nola is No. 88 on Canada’s 100 Best 2026. Chef Emily Butcher’s share-plate restaurant in Saint-Boniface is the first concept from Butcher and the Burnley Place Hospitality Group, and it serves both lunch and dinner.
- Order: The scallop and smoked-goldeye lo bak plate, if it is on
- Best for: Lunch or dinner for a group sharing plates
- Skip if: It is Sunday or Monday; Google lists both days as closed
The background
Canada’s 100 Best describes Butcher as a self-professed maximalist whose plates draw on her Chinese heritage, her Vancouver upbringing (she trained at West) and her years with Mandel Hitzer at Deer + Almond. Its example dish pairs smoked-goldeye lo bak with seared scallops, grilled cabbage and a fermented-radish beurre blanc. Nola’s own site says the menu draws on Butcher’s Pacific Northwest upbringing.
What to order
- Smoked-goldeye lo bak with seared scallops, grilled cabbage and fermented-radish beurre blanc, if it is on
- Several share plates for the table
Menus change, so treat these as examples, not promises.
