The victors of the annual warming hut competition showcased their structures and opened them to the public Thursday morning at The Forks.

The huts were selected from over 100 entries. A total of five huts were constructed, three from the competition, one from the University of Manitoba and another from a Montreal architect.

New this year was the addition of a pop-up restaurant.

Raw Almond set up a temporary location on the river and is offering a five-course meal for $85.

The restaurant is set up in a tent on the river and is only open for three weeks.
