Village Pot serves bold, home-style Nigerian cooking at 180 King Street in downtown Winnipeg, minutes from Portage & Main and the Exchange District. Jollof rice, rich West African stews and generous portions, open late every night.
See TestimonialsWelcome to Village Pot, where we bring authentic Nigerian and West African cuisine to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Located at 180 King Street in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, our kitchen was built around a simple idea: cook the way families cook back home. Every pot of stew is simmered with traditional spices and time-honoured methods, so that the African diaspora across Winnipeg and anyone curious about Nigerian flavours can find a real taste of Nigeria close to Portage & Main.
Our menu features the Nigerian classics our guests come back for: smoky jollof rice with stewed goat, chicken or beef, white rice stew with one piece of meat in rich West African spices, Nigerian fried rice, comforting yam porridge, and hearty egusi soup with swallow. White rice with chicken melody makes it easy to build a full meal, whether you are new to West African food or craving the dishes you grew up with.
At Village Pot we believe in creating more than just meals; we create memorable dining experiences. Our welcoming downtown Winnipeg dining room is made for family dinners, team lunches, cultural celebrations and late-night cravings, with the kitchen serving until 2:00 AM every night. Dine in with us, grab takeout on King Street, or order online for delivery through our own ordering platform.
