Part of Winona's and Greening's Fine Foods
Nestled in North Bed-Stuy, Winona’s is a family-run restaurant, café and wine bar focused on warmth and hospitality. Anchored by seasonally-driven platings, thoughtfully curated natural wine, we hope to offer our guests an experience that is not limited by time but where lingering over dessert or conversation is encouraged.
Our first restaurant venture as a family, Winona’s is our follow-up to Backroom Dinners, an extension of the Greening Fine Foods’ catering company, in which we opened our home for a monthly meal, gathering friends and strangers around one long table. The word-of-mouth-based series evolved into what is now Winona’s (named lovingly after our dog). Our focus has always been to bring people together, and while, in these interesting times, the way in which we are able to do this may look a little different, it remains the driving force behind Winona’s.
