Jazz Thursdays
"Jazz at the Station" continues with three more weeks of three hour jazz
extravaganzas! A selection of Winnipeg's finest jazz musicians will be
with us every Thursday in August from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00, rain or shine,
as our 15th season of live jazz rolls on.The sultry song stylings of vocalist Nadia Douglas return to Resto Gare
on August 11th. Nadia's excursions into the classics of the Great
American Songbook always provide one of our favorite evenings of the
season.Alto saxophonist Neil Watson is one of key soloists with the Winnipeg
Jazz Orchestra. On August 18th Neil and his trio join us at Resto Gare.
It's always a particular treat to hear a big band soloist given the
opportunity to stretch out at length in a small group setting. When said
stretching out takes place in the fabulous environs of Resto Gare it
becomes doubly special!We conclude August with an appearance by the Brian Chipney Trio on the
25th. Steve Hamilton will be back on bass as usual, with Brian playing
soprano saxophone. We'll also be welcoming Chenoa McKelvey back to the
bandstand! Chenoa has been out of town for the past while and we're
excited to catch up with her again! If you haven't heard Ms. McKelvey
previously, you're in for a treat. Chenoa has a true affinity for "the
old tunes", especially the songs of the 1920s and '30s. She'll be
well-featured during the evening on both guitar and vocals.Our jazz sessions in August will begin every Thursday at 6:00 and will
go right up to 9:00. When the weather is swell we'll be out on the
patio. When that isn't possible the music will move into our elegant
dining room. While reservations aren't required, they are suggested.

Resto Gare Bistro and Train Bar
Family-owned since 1983, located in a 1913 St Boniface Train Station with a train car and consistently serving the best French cuisine in Winnipeg.
The old train station remains one of Winnipeg’s most stunning dining rooms. Historic elements like dark wood framing, grand lighting fixtures and railcar lounge speak of the building’s train station past. Scarlet drapes and elegant upholstery emanate subtle sexiness. A gigantic lipstick red booth now divides the large dining room, and the best seat to snuggle with a date is in front of the industrial-chic fireplace.
Resto Gare Bistro is the most authentic French restaurant in the St Boniface French Quarter, offers full bilingual service and plays the latest Montreal francophone music. A trip to Winnipeg should include a trip to the French Quarter and we would be pleased if you included Resto Gare Bistro on your itinerary.
