Chef Derek's signature Homemade Borscht — scratch-made from beets, fresh vegetables, and a rich savoury broth. A beloved Manitoba comfort staple that keeps regulars coming back through every season.
Our Homemade Borscht is one of The Boot Tavern's most-loved menu items. Made in-house by Chef Derek using a traditional recipe, it's a rich, hearty Ukrainian-Canadian style borscht — beets, root vegetables, cabbage, and a deep flavourful broth simmered slowly for the perfect bowl of comfort.
Whether you're warming up after a cold Manitoba winter day or just craving something homemade, the borscht is a must-order. Pair it with garlic toast or grab it as a starter before your prime rib — either way, it's the real deal.

"Best borscht I've had outside of a Ukrainian grandma's kitchen. Rich, hearty, and absolutely homemade."
