Discover the dishes locals drive across the Interlake for. Every plate at The Boot Tavern is made from scratch in our East Selkirk kitchen using honest ingredients and recipes passed down through generations.
Our signature 12 oz prime rib, slow-roasted and served Friday and Saturday evenings with garlic toast and your choice of two sides — baked potato, fries, Boot potato, green beans or Caesar salad. The reason locals book a table every weekend.
Fall-off-the-bone pork back ribs — a house favourite available as a half rack or full rack and featured as a Saturday night special. Slow-cooked until tender and finished on the grill with our signature sauce.
Two hand-formed smash patties topped with garlic aioli, Swiss cheese, crispy bacon and fried onions on a toasted bun. One of our most-talked-about plates and a featured pick during Le Burger Week.
A 6 oz fillet of fresh Manitoba pickerel, lightly floured and pan-seared until golden for a clean, classic local flavour. Served with your choice of sides — a true taste of the Interlake.
A longtime crowd favourite — hand-tossed wings available in a range of sauces and dry rubs. Pair them with a cold pint and catch the game in our bar. Consistently recommended by regulars.
Chef Derek's signature scratch-made borscht — a hearty, beloved comfort staple that keeps regulars coming back through every season. Served piping hot with fresh bread.
