Simon's Steaks is one of the best steakhouse restaurants in Winnipeg for special occasion, especially if you want a strong option in The Forks.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Simon's Steaks occupies an unusual position in Winnipeg's dining landscape: a counter-service stall inside The Forks Market that draws its culinary identity not from the American steakhouse tradition but from Argentine asado culture. The Lomito and Gaucho sandwiches signal the kitchen's South American orientation clearly — this is a place where the steak reference point is Buenos Aires, not Kansas City, and where the format strips away tablecloths, sommeliers, and pacing courses in favour of getting uncommonly serious beef into your hands without ceremony. That proposition resonates at The Forks, a market that has always rewarded vendors willing to commit to a specific culinary point of view rather than hedge toward the broadest possible audience. At a mid-tier price point, Simon's is making a case that Argentine steak tradition belongs in the everyday rotation, not just on special-occasion menus. The menu centers on steak sandwiches executed with evident care. The Lomito — the Argentine classic built on tender, thinly sliced grilled beef served on fresh bread — appears consistently across diner accounts as the benchmark item, praised for the quality and preparation of the meat itself rather than the surrounding architecture. The Gaucho Sandwich draws similar attention for its seasoning and the layering of flavours its name implies, nodding to the pastoral grilling traditions of the South American pampas. Less expected is the B.B.O. Burger, which pairs blackberry compote with goat cheese and arugula — a composition that reads as genuinely considered against the rest of the menu rather than a concession to non-steak diners. The practical reality of a food-court format means no reservations, no wait list, and seating that moves quickly during The Forks' peak afternoon hours on weekends. The move is to arrive at an off-peak lunch hour on a weekday, when the market thins and you can eat without negotiating for a table. Order the Lomito as the anchoring test of what the kitchen does — diner consensus points there first — and decide from that whether the B.B.O. Burger merits a return visit on its own terms.
