I haven't been on the Ghost Tour, but I know there is one.

When you say Mennonite, you probably mean holobchi, farmer sausage and especially perogies.
Perogies are pretty much Winnipeg. Not just Winnipeg food, but Winnipeg.
Best perogies used to be at Alycia's, but they closed a few years ago... much to the dismay of many, many people!
So... I've heard that Julia's Ukrainian Restaurant is good, but haven't tried it myself so can't vouch for it.
Good chance that you'll find perogies
somewhere though.
Local Greek burger/semi-fast-food place, my fave (and lots of others) is the Red Top. Not far from downtown/forks area.
Or if you
only want a burger (and fries) go to VJs right across Main St. from the forks.
Just a little shack with take out only, but best burgers in Winnipeg (order the special).
If money is no object, 529 Wellington is the place to go. Pricey, but delish.
For breakfast or lunch, try Stella's. A few locations (including right at the airport) but the Osborne St. location is the original.
Best Pizza... well, you're going to get lots of different opinions of course. Best chain would be Santa Lucia. But if you don't mind spending just a little more, try Diana's. Voted best in all of Canada by Reader's Digest. Was also on "You Gotta Eat Here".
Chinese Food. We've tried a lot of places, but our favourite (take out only) is 4 Season's (east end).
A fun place to go for pasta is The Old Spaghetti Factory which is right in the forks. But that's not just in Winnipeg so might not be what you're looking for.
Winnipeg also has a large German population, you could try Gasthaus Gutenberger. Closer to the western side of the city. Call for when they have their buffet.
Be prepared to eat there... then not eat again for a day or so.
Ice cream, Winnipeg tradition to head to the BDI (Bridge Drive Inn) when it opens for the season (open now).
Dessert, Baked Expectations on Osborne (dine in or take out). or Jenna Rae's on Academy (take out only, mostly macarons and the best cupcakes ever)
Any restaurant types that I haven't mentioned that you'd like to know about. Just ask.
