We came here for Edmonton Downtown Dining week, which is a good plan for this place if you are not…read morea picky eater. You can have a lovely meal with a reduced cost but it is a fixed menu. You can't beat the atmosphere here on a clear day. The restaurant revolves and so in the time of your meal, you will have revolved around. (The revolution takes about an hour). The inside is plain, but you don't need much for decor when you have the entire city to see. Service was excellent. They were prompt and helpful. They were particularly kind to my daughter who is disabled and treated her really warmly. So I am just commenting on the food for the Downtown dining menu, which might be slightly different than what you would experience on a daily basis. We loved the rolls with the herb oil. I am sure this come complementary with all dinners. We had the crispy shrimp mousse with apple mint salad and spiced fish sauce. This was excellent. Refreshing and flavourful, the perfect start to liven up the taste buds. For the main meal it was duck confit with plum, maple syrup, with angel hair pasta and the vegetable of the day. The duck was so soft and delectable. My only small issue was the pasta was fairly bland, so I could have had more of the plum/maple syrup sauce on it. Dessert was a passionfruit eclair with pistachio praline. This was delectable. This is a great place for a splurge meal.

Okay so admittedly I am not the hugest meat lover so take that for what it is. We recently visited…read morefor my husband's birthday with friends, I'd never been to this particular location but assumed it would be similar to the Ellerslie location. In my opinion it's not. The restaurant itself feels super tight and considering how many people are up and walking around at any given time almost claustrophobic. I was initially hoping to just so with the salad bar option and forgo the meat but when the question wasn't even asked I decided to just try the odd meat item but still lean heavy on the salad bar. Compared to what I remembered about the other location this salad bar seemed to be much more of a disappointing experience. The food itself was good but overall there seemed to be a bunch of dishes that didn't appeal to me. The food was really good. There's no debating that and the grilled pineapple is to die for, same with the cheese buns. But overall it just seems to be very expensive for what you do get. It's definitely not my top tier restaurant choice and I might not return to this particular location.

It was our first visit last night. We had tried Pampas many years ago but revisited the menu and…read morereviews online. It seemed a bit crazy to spend $65 per person and pay extra for other foods and drinks. We asked a friend for recommendations, and they suggested Fumaca to us. At Fumaca, it's $50 per person, and you can Order your pops for $4 with free refuel!! This offers much better value and a great deal - saving $15 per person for some extra drinks. The staff was friendly and provided good service without any issues. However, I'm not sure how they handle things during busy times. Last night was quiet and relaxed with not many people around. I saw their online menu which has chicken heart, and they don't serve around. So we asked, and they did it JUST for us!!!!. One thing to note, though, is that I could smell that the chicken heart might not have been cleaned thoroughly. They had to cut out the garlic shrimp as it wasn't available, contrary to what the online menu indicated - just a heads up. I recommend trying the pineapple!

I mentioned my allergies and sensitivities and the manager was so diligent that she looked up ingredients to make sure I would be okay. I ordered a side of bearnaise sauce which we determined I may have issue with but I still ordered it. A little while later someone called me again to make sure I was aware of the allergen and wanted to confirm I still wanted it. I had to make sure I left a review because I was truly touched by the care and concern the staff at the Keg had for my wellbeing. Also, I ordered at a busy time! The steak was absolutely fabulous and I hope to visit for dine-in my next visit.

He greeted us and said some new additions to the menu then took our drink order. Which gave us time to look over the menu and choose our steak option.

By half way through we switched steaks so she could enjoy her meal better. Probably a common mistake since it was fairly busy in the restaurant. Food was exceptional for flavor as always and we will have to pop in again for a steak redemption meal. This time, hopefully the steaks come out correctly.

Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse is a restaurant of legend in Edmonton. The flagship location was…read moreoriginally opened downtown by Oscar Lopez and Joao Dachery in 2011. Their entire concept took the city by storm and everyone sought the Pampa-induced meat sweats! The idea was to bring authentic, traditional Brazilian food to the heart of the Alberta prairies. I honestly can't think of a better fit - traditional Brazilian churrasco paired with Alberta's premium beef. Genius! Since then, Pampa opened two more locations in Edmonton, as well as one each in Calgary and Red Deer. The original downtown location has since closed but the others remain. (There was also a cafe downtown called A Bite of Brazil by Pampa which I loved that has also sadly closed.) Named Favourite Latin American Restaurant 2022 and 2023 in the Edmonton Journal, I myself hadn't paid them a visit in quite some time. Making my way to their Ellerslie Industrial location on a Saturday evening, I could only think of the parade of meats that awaited me. The south restaurant is situated in a huge, almost monolithic building, a veritable palace for all things churrasco - authentic Brazilian BBQ. This style of cooking dates back to the 17th century from Brazil's southernmost state located in the Pampa region - or the "prairies" of South America. Cattle herders from the area are known as Gaúchos and they historically used open-pit fires to cook meats on large skewers near the open flames. It's pretty easy to see the parallels and the perfect fit with our own celebrated beef culture in Alberta and Oscar Lopez and Joao Dachery knew this. Entering the restaurant, the space is expansive, modern, and there are nods to the Gaúcho way of life through the art and decor. There are multiple dining rooms, an entire wall made up of wine bottles, and there's a main area that contains the salad bar and the impressive rotisserie of spinning meats. It doesn't take long for the tantalizing aromas to seduce your senses. Gauchos (dressed appropriately) circulate the dining room carrying large, sword-like skewers of fire-roasted meat, ready to carve them tableside directly onto your plate. Seated at a circular table in the main dining area (salad bar adjacent), the anticipation was real! But first, a cocktail - and there is no better choice then a caipirinha - Brazil's national cocktail. Pampa offers seven different flavours and I chose the Cashew and Lime Caipirinha (Fresh fruits muddled with simple syrup and cachaça. Refreshing and vibrant - $13.00). This cocktail reminds me a little bit of a margarita but a lot more fruit-forward. I was really interested in the cashew aspect of the beverage and it truly did add a subtle and delicious nuttiness to the drink. The lime component felt incredibly classic, giving this drink a great balance of tart and sweet flavours. Very enjoyable and felt like a perfect refreshing match for the food. Pampa specializes in the concept of Rodízio which means "rotation" in Portuguese. This refers to the variety of meats that will be brought to your table and carved table-side endlessly. Each table is given a double-sided red and green coin which allows you to control the Rodízio service. (I could have sworn that in the past each guest was given their own coin, now it's just one for the table.) The green side means "GO!" and that you would like meat service. The red side means "stop" and that you are on a break or are finished. At dinnertime you can expect to see 14 different cuts of meat circulating the room. Also included in the experience is the unlimited self-service hot and cold salad bar. Dinner for 12 Years and Older costs $68.95. We turned our token to the green side and never looked back! The first order of business is naturally the salad bar. There is a huge selection of housemade salads, dressings, picklings, breads, and cheese. There are several hot dishes, including traditional Brazilian Feijoada (which I somehow missed and will have to try next time!). However, my tip is that you shouldn't overdo it with the salad bar because you're really there for the meats. Pacing yourself is the name of the game at Pampa, especially if you're aiming to try a little bit of everything. I made small piles of Salada de Churrasco (a beef penne salad), Pineapple Corn Salad, and Beterraba Assada (oven roasted beets) in an attempt to not get too crazy. Each salad was very fresh and I loved the smokiness and robust flavour that was front and center in the churrasco salad. This salad felt unique and like a good match to the overall experience. Certainly not a typical pasta salad! The pineapple corn salad was creamy and refreshing, almost like a palate cleanser, which was nice. One salad bar item that I don't recommend holding back on are the Pão de Queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread. They're my absolute favourite and no one makes them better than Pampa does! This small baked roll is crispy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. They are a complete d
