The passion, energy and personality of owner Chris Fougere (the Fude dude) are apparent in every aspect of the restaurant from the menu through to the ambiance and his great staff. But it is the food that Chris insists is his focus.

Chris's background in Winnipeg's restaurant industry grew in him a desire to create a new culinary experience for Winnipeg diners.


Chris's creativity can be found everywhere from the restaurant name - Fude Inspired Cuisine and Wine Bar, to the menu headings - Squished fude, Twisted fude, Flat fude, to name a few, and through to the dishes themselves.  His passion and vision come through in the fabulous flavours delivered by each dish.

Chris makes a point of chatting with every Fude dinner guest and getting his or her feedback.  "'Okay' and 'Good' is not enough. -You can get good anywhere.  Our goal in no uncertain terms, is to wow our guests", says Chris
