Woke up early for Raw:Almond yesterday

February 9, 2015 - 7:03pm - by Alyson Shane

For you non-Winnipeggers Raw:Almond is the annual pop-up style restaurant built on the ice of the frozen Assiniboine River. They do incredible 5-course dinners, cocktail & snack sessions, and an informal weekend breakfast which is divine.

I went with Adam and Brittany and John and also waved at Kevin and Laura K, who were also there but with different groups of people.

Because eating breakfast off of paper plates in your winter coat is all the rage.

All of the food is served at these huge, long public tables which encourages people to share the experience with each other. 

It's bigger than it's been in years before, with three separate tables to host all of the people that line up in the cold waiting to get inside.

It's heated but still so cold you have to wear your jackets and toques.

The food is divine, as evidenced by the photo above, and worth every penny.

We sat next to Bart Simpson, a filmmaker who was involved with writing a documentary called The Corporation you might have seen (if not, it's on Netflix!) who chatted about all sorts of things with us and took the photo at the beginning of this post. Hi Bart!

It's almost time for the restaurant to close for the season but if you want to know more check out this documentary that my friend Colin put together.

Stay warm, lovelies!
