Manitoba Food Bloggers Meet

This time at Segovia!

This Tuesday I was lucky enough to join the Manitoba Food Bloggers meet at Segovia Tapas Bar & Restaurant .  Hosted this time by Susie while Shel was off hunting Elk (or Moose - I can't remember).

I met Adrian at the University of Winnipeg after class and headed down to Osborne.  We arrived a little early and noticed Segovia wasn't even open until six. Natasha was waiting outside as well.

We figured we would kill 30 minutes at the Toad in the Hole and have a pint before they opened.

Cheese!

Tuna tartar

Anchovy

The one scallop I saw... (and didn't fight Adrian for)

So much delicious wine...

The octopus was my favourite dish of the night

Braise short ribs with potato

With our beer finished we made our way back up the street to Segovia.  I have eaten there a couple times and have always been blown away.  Today was no different.  We met lots of new people, all who love food, and met friends I haven't seen in a while, we also did wine tasting.

And olive oil tasting - thanks to Jennifer at Cannensi .

After Segovia Deborah , Adrian, and I made our way to the Toad for one last pint.

Then to Little Pizza Heaven for more food.  Because we clearly needed it.

Tomato and feta goodness

Instead of being responsible and going home.  We decided that we need to eat kangaroo and alligator too.  So we made our way across the street to Billabong Bistro .

Crocodile Pale Ale

So we ordered one last pint.  For real this time.  And some delicious food.

Blackened alligator spring rolls

Mini kangaroo taco salad

Flat bread with 3 amazing dips (lemon hummus, pureed beet and chèvre cream cheese)

Eventually I had to head home.  I had homework.  But it was a good night - even if I stayed up until three in the morning working on homework.  And watching Sons of Anarchy .
