Below are reviews of the city of Portage La Prairie, MB from an actual visitor's perspective.
Over the coals restaurant was very Jeepnee Pilipino resteraunt, wow, large portions and delicious. Watching the northern lights and seeing all the waterfowl at delta beach both nights were wonderful.
Portage is a wonderful community. Friendly and welcoming. Easy access from the highway. Excellent grocery and gas options.
I grew up in the Portage area, but have been away since 1980, it was like coming home.
I would move to Portage la Prairie. Very idyllic town with all you need.
Good things to do- their aquatic centre, rock climbing for kids and adults, bowling and so on.
