A downtown Winnipeg restaurant that was forced to close down last fall after a suspected arson was once again on fire Sunday evening.
Winnipeg firefighters were called to Boujee Restaurant and Bar, which has been vacant since an October 2025 blaze, around 5:38 p.m.
Crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the building on Main Street.
While the fire was declared under control at 9:40 p.m., crews remained on scene throughout the night to extinguish hotspots.
“The building sustained significant fire, smoke and water damage,” WFPS said in a news release.
No occupants were found inside the building, and no injuries were reported. The fire is under investigation.
The restaurant was damaged by flames in October in what police have described as a string of arsons targeted various restaurants and the offices of two ministers’ offices.
A suspect was charged in November.
More coming.
