We came here for my husbands birthday, he had been wanting to go for a long time. This temporary location is not the best, it is not run down and tacky. But if you are looking for great food and don't care about the locale, you can't go wrong here. The entire menu is strictly Gluten Free! I mean everything, from appetizers to desserts! My mother in law is celiac and she was so delighted she could just pick anything on the menu. Our server always very sweet, friendly and clearly loves where she works. And everything we ate was delicious! Not just good for gluten free I mean delicious. I ordered the mushroom spaetle with shrimp, my husband had liver and onions, my daughter had the perogies, and my mother in law had chicken stroganoff. And for dessert we had apple strudel, tiramisu, and a Black Forest cake. All were amazing. I really hope they can open in a better location soon as we absolutely loved the food! read more

We went out with friends for dinner. It was delicous. Me and a friend chose the 3 course dinner. We both chose the pickle soup, the Artic char dessert, and the blackforest ckae for dessert. My husband went with just the artic char meal. My other friend chose the sausage with fried potatoes. Service was great. Our server was friendly and helpful. However when we were ready to pay the bill she was no where to be seen. Otherwise great. Wonderful ambiance. It feels like old world Europe. Quiet. Dark wood. Nice to sit and chat in. Food was wonderful. My soup was great. Definately the pickle soup tasted pickley. The main meal was great. The fish was a large portion but slightly overcooked. We loved the spatzel on it. Well cooked. Black forest cake was good but not as moist as I remember. All and all an enjoyable evening. read more

We decided on Continental after seeing the restaurant featured in a youtube video. As someone with Polish and Eastern European decent, I love finding gems that feature my ancestral cuisine. I want to buy the red cabbage in bulk!!! The warming spices gave the cabbage great flavour, especially on a cold, late-autumn day. The dill pickle soup is famous for a reason: YUM! Thanks for a tasty Thanksgiving (US) meal :) read more

Don't usually have anything to say about wait staff, but Keshia was the exception. It was more like being served by a family member with an atmosphere of warmth. Having said that, we don't go to restaurants a lot due to budget restraints, but here we are at the Continental Treat. We were attracted by the Quartet entertainment that night which was excellent. The dishes were 5 out of 5 which Keshia helped us to select and a big thanks for the Sauerkraut sample soups. read more

Came here for an event and the dinner and wine was lovely. I keep meaning to come back and try their famous dill pickle soup and this review has reminded me that I must go! read more

Ordered schnitzel with spaetzle. Comes with veggies. Cold veggies were good but buried underneath the "spaetzle" and had to be excavated. The spaetzle was broken up fettuccini noodles boiled and fried. It comes with a choice of sauce. Which we were charged an extra $4 for. And it might have been 1/4 cup. Not even enough to cover the schnitzel. Ordered escargot as the appy. That consisted of a bowl of thick white tasteless sauce with several snails and pieces of mushrooms mixed in. No garlic and no salt to be tasted. There were 4 slices of seedy toast on the side. Both the sauce and the toast had a bit of a slimy texture. Generally tasteless. Waste of calories. Won't return. read more

If you are looking for delicious European food in a lovely atmosphere, this restaurant can really fit the bill. Not only is the food really great but it is all gluten-free which is perfect if you know anyone who is a Celiac or who has a gluten intolerance. Regardless the food is great -- I really like the rouladen among other dishes here. The dill pickle soup is lovely as well. The bread is great especially given the gluten-free nature of this place. The building itself is great (the downtown space has hosted other restaurants in the past) but the food is really the highlight. And the staff go above and beyond to recognize stuff happening for your group if you let them know when you reserve. I thought this was lovely. Yes service can be occasionally slow (which happens with many restaurants of this caliber) but honestly sometimes it feels good to take time for a good meal. read more

Hi. I ate here last evening at the invitation of good old friends. I'm sure they were embarrassed. The quality of the meal, of all four of us, was close to disgusting. The schnitzels we had were absolutely pathetic. I couldn't believe they would serve such 'I hate to give it the word I'm thinking". If this restaurant thinks they'll survive serving such terrible food they have another thing coming. And just to mention, in the last 15 months I've eaten at hundreds of restaurants around the world and this was the worst!!! read more

Amazing atmosphere. Superb service. Chic and modern space previously occupied by the hardware grill. Tasty European food. The pickle soup and snitizel are my go to's everytime. The food transports u to eastern Europe bc it's so delicious! Elegantly served. This place is another level above the original location because I personally enjoy this atmosphere than the old European vibe the original Whyte avenue location has. They even kept the chefs table! I started off with the famous pickle soup. It was sour and delicious. It definitely hits the spot for a sour craving! It is unique to this restaurant and I would say it's a specialty that most restaurants don't offer. So don't miss out on this! Next I had the tender pork snitzel with potato salad and veggies with a side order of spaetzele. These were my favourite dishes in the original location and it was just as delicious...if not better! The pickled cabbage, cucumber salad and pickled carrots remind me those pickle bars I miss so much in Germany! I always got my fix at this locally owned restaurant. But now it's closer to home. This place newly opened in December 2021. And I'm loving the vibes and location in downtown! It is perfect for a fancy date, girls night out or a office luncheon! I'm impressed and hope to come back soon! read more

I've known about this place forever, but never really wanted to go because of the fact that I am vegetarian, and my partner is vegan. I was excited to discover the vegan and vegetarian options and I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful they all tasted. There were two vegan on tree options and mini salads and mini soups. The atmosphere is very nice and romantic. I want to go back around Christmas time and enjoy a their vegan cabbage rolls, and dill pickle soup!! read more

Nice place food was bland not worth the prices stay away heading a hard time putting together 85 words

Ate here last year. Food was not great but it is gluten free, important for my family. So when they told me they were coming to Edmonton again last week, I booked for a party of 5 for Wednesday Oct 22nd. I got a confirmation message and a second one on Oct 21st. As I pulled into parking at 5:56, 4 minutes before my reservation, I got a text from them that they were closed and cancelling my reservation. One of my guests told me that they had looked up the restaurant earlier that day and there was nothing about a closure on their website but a google search that afternoon said they were closed. So the restaurant knew hours before they were closed and did not bother to contact me. TOTALLY unacceptable and unprofessional. We drove all that way for nothing and were left stranded with no dinner plans for our out of town guests. That poor treatment plus the mediocre food the time before leads me to warn all potential guest to STAY AWAY. read more

First off I have to say is I COULD DRINK THE DILL SAUCE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOAT, I want to bath in it, that's how delicious this sauce is. Oh my goodness, the most divine and succulent chefs kiss for that! Anyways I have loved my meal every time I've gone here, the perogies, borscht, chicken schnitzel and the coffees are out of this world amazing. I'm blown away how everything is gluten free, that is astonishing. I love this restaurant read more

Visited on New Year's Eve. The Strathcona String Quartet was the highlight of the evening!! We had to leave early due to a family emergency. We were hoping to do some dancing. All the appetizers and wines were great! Food and service is always great! Would like to know if and when the Strathcona String Quartet will return! read more

This is an update to my review. I was contacted within 12 hours of posting, by the owner, Sylvester. He said our experience was unacceptable and that he was having an emergency meeting w the staff. Additionally, he said his family takes the business v personally - his mother has cooked at the Whyte location for 40 years! And she would be v upset. When a family owns a restaurant and takes such pride in it, you just gotta support them! We r having a "do-over" dinner and I'm sure it will be fabulous read more

Fantastic experience! The atmosphere is classy, the entrees were delicious, and the dessert (the bownie) was worth coming back for by itself! They were also very accommodating to food intolerances. Thanks Continental- we'll be back! read more

I was at the convention center for the ndp leadership debate and found there was no food available at all. But this place was in the area, so I came here for lunch. I just wanted a quick soup and sandwich. So I ordered ruben and a dill pickle soup. No I recently learned that by the book rubens are made with Russian dressing and not mustard. The continental uses mustard, and I like mustard So I was not gonna start an argument, but .... Anyway the soup and saneldwich come and both are good. What was a surprise, because I had not read the menu closely was the sandwich also came with some pickled carrots and potato salad. So now I am in a bit of a hurry, trying to get back to the convention center and dealing with an enormous 2 plate lunch, and all of it good. I had to leave some behind. Soup and sandwich lunch special all that was needed. Put a small bowl of soup on a plate cut sandwich in half, and on the plate with the soup bowl. It's a classic combo cause it works. Anyways nice place with a friendly server read more

First time here. Order dill pickle soup and beet salad as apps - both were very good, I will say the arugula in the salad was a bit over salted, main courses were goulash, stroganoff and chicken schnitzel. All were good, spatzel was over cooked but tasty . Over all good food but fire alarms and fire trucks were a little annoying. read more

First, if you would like to try the most delicious Bavarian style food you have ever had...come here. Second, if you have a gluten allergy, there's no problem, this is a certified Gluten Free restaurant. Everything is gluten free. Yes, I know there's some spouses of gluten free people out there and you're taking a pass. You are just cheating yourself out of the most delicious food you've had. On top of that the service is great, the atmosphere great! Don't pass this up as just a gluten free restaurant. You're missing out. read more

An amazing experience. We had the beef rouladen that's thinly slice round roast rolled up. A typical German dish slow braised served with creamy pan gravy. We finished with crème brûlée just as delicious. Really enjoy old school ambiance jazz music, professional service and elegant setting. Very reasonable priced we will be back!! Located in downtown Edmonton close to the Hotel McDonald. read more

We have been here a few times but tonight our server Thomas was outstanding. He made recommendations , knew his menu and was such a delight. I would highly recommend sitting in his section. The food is awesome and we love it. read more

Wonderful location with an all gluten free menu. Comfortable atmosphere and moat of the night was great, but I will remove a single star because the bathroom obviously had not been inspected by staff (all stalls were dirty) in a while (I work in customer service so I know it can get busy but bathrooms and kitchens are very important to keep clean in a restaurant). read more

More than just the very delicious food, are the most gracious and accommodating servers and the luxurious yet comfortable dining atmosphere! In every way, Continental Treat Fine Bistro is AMAZING! read more

The best part about my dinner here was the beets! They were delicious. The maple salmon was acceptable, but what's with the plates? Every time I put down my knife it slid right into the middle of my plate. I think the sides of the plate were too steep? Crazy! My companion had the cabbage roll and said he'd had better for far cheaper. Service was pretentious to say the least. read more

impossible Ruben Sandwich, $29.00 times two, for this sandwich which actually turned out to be two pieces of toast, a table spoon of potato salad, and a teaspoon of beats. totally burnt, with an invisible amount of meat. Managment offered a dessert as a let's be nice gesture. A good server would NEVER have brought this to our table, they would have told the kitchen this is NOT a Ruben. they do not care about their customers. SAVE YOUR MONEY GO NEXT DOOR FOR CHINESE. read more

We had a large group that needed a reservation at the last minute, and the management and staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate us. They were responsive, happy to work with our special requests and made everything incredibly easy. Everyone in the group agreed that the food was incredible, and both the service and ambiance were top-notch. The dill pickle soup alone is worth many repeat visits. Continental Treat never disappoints! read more
