Lechon Pares Mami
Crispy lechon over egg noodles in rich pares broth.
View dishBeef Pares is the dish Winnipeg keeps coming back to Sargent Avenue for. Brisket is braised low and slow until it falls apart in a sweet-savoury star-anise broth, then served with a bowl of hot pares soup and a mound of garlic rice. It is the full Filipino pares experience — comfort in three parts.
Pares takes its name from the Filipino word for “pair” — braised beef paired with rice and soup. At Crspy Bnch we build ours the traditional way: beef brisket simmered for hours with soy, star anise, garlic and a touch of sweetness until the sauce turns glossy and clings to every piece. Nothing is rushed, because the braise is what makes pares taste like pares.
It arrives as a proper set: tender brisket in its sauce, fragrant garlic rice, and a separate bowl of clear beef broth to sip between bites. Regulars from Sargent Park, West End and Wolseley order it as a full dinner; late-night guests order it because it is the kind of bowl that fixes a long day. Want more of everything? Ask for the Loaded or Langit version and we pile on bone marrow, tendon and tripe.

Calls the brisket the reason they drive across the city — it pulls apart with a spoon and the broth is exactly right.

Says the pares set is the best value dinner on Sargent Avenue and the garlic rice alone is worth the trip.

Ordered it for takeout on the way home and found the beef still hot and the broth still steaming.
Beef Pares is a Filipino rice meal built around beef brisket braised in a sweet-savoury soy and star anise sauce. It is always served as a trio — braised beef, garlic rice and a bowl of clear beef broth — which is where the name “pares” (pair) comes from.
No. Our Beef Pares Clasico is mild and family friendly. If you want heat, add our chili oil or use the spicy vinegar that comes on the side.
Clasico is the classic brisket, rice and soup set. Loaded adds extra toppings, and Beef Pares Langit is the fully loaded version with bone marrow and additional cuts for a much richer bowl.
