About Us

The Little Eggplant is the result of generations using traditional ingredients in our family kitchens. We created everything from scratch and with a purpose.

Our inspiration for this comes from Italy’s street food scene, particularly their deli style cafés and food trucks. These places are known for serving tasty panini and desserts in every city throughout the country..

Our goal is to bring that same warmth and feel to the streets, offices and homes of Winnipeg.

We use only the best products to create delicious food for all to enjoy.

Our pride flows and is evident in the preparation of our menu items. We prepare our sauces and vegetable marinades from scratch with the utmost diligence and care..
