Flavour-forward simplicity, served fast inside The Forks Market.

Tender shaved roast beef and gooey melted cheese piled on a toasted brioche bun, served with a rich, bold red miso au jus for dipping. The undisputed fan favourite — and the most talked-about beef dip in Winnipeg.
House turkey, salami and pepperoni layered with melted mozzarella, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a grilled hoagie. A hearty, flavour-packed sub that's a daily crowd-pleaser at The Forks.
Classic corned beef stacked with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on toasted rye. Exceptionally fresh and consistently satisfying — a deli staple done the Crafted Crust way.
A nod to the iconic Montreal-style smoked meat tradition — piled high on artisan bread with quality, locally sourced ingredients. Honest, hearty and unmistakably Crafted Crust.
An elevated take on a beloved classic — premium cheeses melted between slices of perfectly grilled artisan bread. The gourmet grilled cheese Winnipeggers come back for again and again.
Grilled chicken, crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato layered on artisan bread — a fresh, satisfying staple that proves the simple ones, done right, are still the best.
Crafted Crust was founded by Paul VanGinkel — the P.V.G. behind nearly a decade of beloved Winnipeg food trucks. In June 2023, Paul brought that street-food expertise indoors and opened Crafted Crust inside The Forks Market, the city's most iconic food destination. The philosophy hasn't changed: real, fresh, locally sourced ingredients, every sandwich handcrafted with care. Browse our full sandwich menu or stop by The Forks for lunch.
