Winnipeg Trip–Day 3 Hallock and travel to Winnipeg (Monday, September 29, 2014)

On our way up to Winnipeg we stopped in Hallock for lunch with my cousins, their families including their two infant daughters.  This was the first time I had seen them and so I really enjoyed that.  We also had a good time with my cousins.

Once in Winnipeg we sought out Mongo’s Grill.  Before we left, I had searched for gluten, dairy, egg, and meat free friendly restaurants and this one fit the bill and seemed to be one my husband would like.  Well it was quite the experience.  They give you a bowl and tell you to fill it as much as you would like with more ingredients than you can imagine (veggies, meats, fish, chicken, noodles, etc.) along with your choice of sauces and oils.  We quickly realized we were amateurs as we watched others pile their bowl twice as high.  They had a laminated list of all the gluten free options so it was easy to pick out those and our waitress had checked into the sauces for other allergens.  The end result was really good.  We hope to visit another one in the future.

We stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Winnipeg South.  The room was clean and very comfortable but a little small.  I’m not complaining though as it was free (through points earned by my husband on business trips).  They also had a hot tub and pool which we enjoyed one evening.  We stayed here three nights.
