Entreprises Riel owns three distinctive kiosks on the Esplanade Riel footbridge. Their design was inspired by the first trams which traversed the old Provencher Bridge in 1908, the year of the incorporation of St-Boniface as a city. With these, we seek to create an inviting entryway into St-Boniface by offering bilingual services: Tourisme Riel information services, French inspired culinary experiences, and entertainment.
Over the 2022-23 season, a couple, originating from the Brittany region in France, operated a traditional creperie, Crêperie Ker Briezh and had a highly successful season. Their success has inspired the entrepreneurs to open a new restaurant on Sherbrook Street while still operating the crêperie. They also partnered with two former USB students who had launched the successful Le Monkey bar and operated the second kiosk for the 2023 summer season.
