We have been talking about going to the Marc for years. We finally got to make this happen for…read moreValentine's Day this year. And I'm so glad we did. We had made a reservation far in advance as it was for valentines night. We were seated promptly and I got a corner table as requested, Thank you! The staff were all very attentive, pleasant and friendly, and never lingered too long. The restaurant was warmly lit and was mostly quiet but had some lovely relaxing/romantic music playing. I ordered a lovely glass wine, which turned into a second glass, closer to dessert and hubs had a fancy non-alcoholic drink he liked. The menu was a prix fix but I was pleasantly surprised with our options. There were 3 choices for each course. Our first course, Hubs ordered the Bibb salad with chicken skin croutons, such a unique and delicious idea. I had the pork rillette, which was like an amazing pate, with apricot gelee, mustard and crisp bread. This was absolutely incredible. Our second course, hubs had the duck with lentils and endive, every bite was simply divine. I had the steak with mushrooms, peas and asparagus, the sauce for this was amazing and the steak was so incredibly tender. Third course was dessert, hubs had the chocolate cake, which he said was very good. I had the "cereal milk" panna cotta. This dish was the hit of the night, so many components from the berries to earl grey tea gelee to the cornflake tuile. Nothing in this dish was overly sweet as may desserts are, but they all worked so brilliantly together in each bite. I could not stop eating it. The courses all came at perfect intervals, with enough time in between for you to want the next course. I often feel rushed at most restaurants, this was a lovely change. They were also perfectly portioned, so you have room for all three courses, unlike so many other restaurants. My biggest complement was that each dish I tasted was not only delicious, there was an intellectual component, and each bite made me think about each ingredient and how they worked together. I have never been to a Micheline star restaurant, I personally think these dishes would fit right in. Well done chef!

I have no idea hoe there is a 4.7 rating... maybe diners have not tried other establishments in the…read moreCity. We wanted to take friends out for a nice dinner.. booking the day prior, most establishments had no availability... The Marc did. It's been 4 years since we last ate here... The red flags maybe should have popped up when we entered to an almost empty restaurant. SO to start... The Burrata was fine, not great.. just average (Try Pip for a really good Burrata) The Market Cheese for $14.00 is a complete joke. At least we thought it was.. you get 1 slice of cheese and 3 pieces of bread. The 4 of us looked at the waitress when she put it down thinking they made an error.. but no.. it is a $14.00 slice of cheese. The steak Tartare was decent. Their take is heavy on pickles but it is fine.. if you are looking for a less "tangy" tartare, skip as this is pickle and caper forward. The steak.. you would do better at Chop, Keg, Cactus Club or a variety of other places... thin, little flavour but ohhh the grill marks. My wife had chicken... it was chicken stacked on some beans etc. Not bad.. just chicken .. sauce was good but not "fine dining" The duck.... OMG the duck... my friend has never had duck so I convinced him to order it, He ordered Med and I ordered Med Rare... Both came out as 2 pieces each of Grey wet skinned, Medium (over) meat with a couple crispy wedges of overdone (Hard on the bottom) tomato polenta. The "Sauce Moutard" .... Well.... Maybe look online for a recipe.. Needless to say, my friend's 1st duck experience was sub par.. So for $500.00 (4 cocktails and wine were $150 of that), there are sooo many other establishments in Edmonton to select from... but you may have to book in advance. We could have taken them to Cactus CLub and had a better meal for less... Dissatisfied to say the least.

I love the inside of this place, elegant, calming, and welcoming. Our server was good. He was prompt and effecient. There are a lot of items on the menu, but I always get the same thing. Roasted duck with dumplings and to start with a dill pickle soup. My friend went with the Natural Schnitzel her starter was a salad. My soup was delicious, nice and light and fragrent. It had the right amout of acid in it. My friend really enjoyed her salad. My duck was as delicous as usual. Two large pieces with sauerkraut. I would like to see a few potatoes in it though. My friend enjoyed her schnitzel. We ended the night having crepes which were rich. I had the Crêpe "a'la King" butter crêpe with Frangelico. My friend also enjoyed her stawberry crepe Prices seem high at first but for the quality and amount well worth it.

You can try the white or rye bread with a red peppered flavored, whipped butter. So good :) Hubby had Free Range Pesto Chicken Breast over Linguini, while I had the Free Range Breaded Chicken a la Rousse (Stuffed with Salmon, white wine dill cream sauce) - - - save your pennies and just do it, visit here. To top off hubby's birthday we had the Sticky Date Pudding "served warm with ice cream, whipped cream & topped with hot caramel sauce" as per the menu, but it does not do it justice (picture included) I had the Terrine of Sorbets "layered black cherry, lemon, mango, served with champagne" - they actually pour the champagne over the sorbet, deeee-lish! I've included pictures of the sorbet, the sticky pudding and mushroom soup. Not the chicken dinners, as I was too busy enjoying it and felt a bit bad not staying engaged in the experience.

Free parking in the back. I love their pate dishes. The foie gras and goose liver are to die for. Yum.i could eat this all day everyday. The fruit preserves are always complementing the dish perfectly. The venison, steak, lamb, veal, and duck are always tender and flavourful. Some of these dishes are only daily specials so ask your server. The desserts are great too. I personally prefer the apple crisp. The chocolate mousse and creme caramel are a bit underwhelming but the crisp is very very good. At lunch they have great daily specials which are quick and u can be in and out in 40 min flat. Sitting by the window is amusing as well. Free parking in the back.

Located along the Sturgeon River in a gorgeous Victorian-style house in St. Albert sits Riverbank…read moreBistro. Known for classic Canadian fare with a modern twist, this restaurant has been around since 2017 and has been St. Albert's most coveted date night spot ever since. Chef and owner Dan Ducharme has been in the game for a long time and his culinary vision is allowed to shine within Riverbank's historic walls. Using ingredients from the best local producers; such as seafood from Effing Seafoods (Rob is everyone's favourite fishmonger), whatever sparks inspiration at the St. Albert Farmers' Market, and of course beef and cheese from a producer that requires no introduction; Lakeside Farmstead, the plates at Riverbank Bistro promise fresh comfort food with an elevated air. In fact, it was Jeff Nonay (a name synonymous with quality) of Lakeside Farmstead who arranged for my dinner and I couldn't have been more excited to taste his famed products, prepared under Chef Ducharme's expertise. I visited on a Saturday evening and you certainly cannot miss the iconic building that Riverbank Bistro resides in. With its burgundy exterior and dramatic spires, this converted estate now contains several businesses, one of them being the restaurant. Perched along the river, you will be treated to idyllic views to accompany your meal. The inside of the dining room is refreshed and modern while carefully maintaining the original character that makes the building so special. Expect charcoal-wrapped banquettes, rustic wood, and statement lighting. Whisked to our comfortable table, it wasn't long before each and every other seat within view was occupied and the room was filled with the din of happy diners. Our server was exceedingly prompt and professional, revealing that we would be treated to a special five-course chef's table experience. I absolutely could not wait to get started. Chef Ducharme himself made the time to greet us at our table, narrowly escaping the intensity of his busy kitchen. He managed to personally deliver our dishes, describing each one and its ingredients with care. What a unique privilege! I'm a cocktail girl and had to begin my adventure with a Strawberry Vanilla Mojito (Fresh strawberries, Bumbu rum, vanilla liqueur, mint, lime - $16.00), prepared by the skilled barstaff. Perfect to sip on while reminiscing on the summer that just was, I enjoyed this fresh and fruity take on a classic. Muddled strawberries and mint leaves mixed playfully with the flavours of vanilla and lime. Just my kind of drink! The first course to arrive was a showstopper; Quahog Clams sourced by St. Albert's own Effing Seafoods. Served in a kimchi broth that was made with sun-dried tomato and saffron then dotted with emerald-coloured chive oil, this dish was bursting with big umami flavour! The portion consisted of a generous number of clams, each one large and juicy. However, it was the perfectly executed broth that I could have lived in. The provided triangles of sourdough were necessary for sopping up every last delicious drop. Next to arrive was a beautiful Fall Risotto, showcasing the best ingredients of the season. This unique risotto was made with a grain similar to barley or farro instead of traditional Arborio rice. Not only did this create an innovative and Canadian twist on a classic dish but the larger grains delivered a rustic plate. Each bite was chewy and nutty which was highlighted perfectly by the bright orange pieces of tender kabocha squash throughout. Mustard and sunflower seed added texture, while the housemade chicken jus (inspired!) brought decadence. The pickled components went a far way to achieve balance. Delicate curls of greens sat atop it all along with a sprinkling of Alpine cheese from Lakeside Farmstead. Each bite was rich and delicious, taking the concept of a warm fall comfort dish and elevating it to something thoughtful and elegant. Truly autumn in Alberta on a plate. The third course consisted of a Strawberry Sorbet palate cleanser which was a great way to pause and refresh the meal after the starter courses. Served with lemon zest and basil, the perfectly spherical scoop was sitting in a small pool of extra virgin olive oil. Beautifully fragrant, this sorbet was ultra creamy with very few ice crystals. A perfect match to my Strawberry Vanilla Mojito cocktail as well! Then it was time for the main dishes and they were more than what we could have wished for! Two gorgeous, high-quality, well-marbled, Nonay Strip Loin Steaks, each cooked to a medium-rare perfection. Each plate was accompanied by Lakeside Farmstead Fromage Blanc mash (their beef and cheese on one plate - chef's kiss!), sautéed spinach and mushrooms, and a black garlic jus. The really cool part was that each steak had been dry-aged for a different amount of time and it was very neat to taste and compare the difference that 40 days makes. First up is the 80 Day Dry-Aged Strip Loin Steak. Visually, it was very evident that this

The staff bring everything in and set up all the food along with condiments. Our office really enjoys the Chicken with Wild Mushroom pasta, Beef Rouladen which is thinly sliced beef rolled up with a sauce and the turkey at Christmas time. The signature stuffing which is made with assorted bread, cranberry, apple, onion, celery and sage is also delicious! The baked tomatoes are juicy and so flavourful, and the cabbage rolls are tender. We also usually order the Asian Spinach Salad which has rice in it and different sandwiches for a lighter lunch option. The only item we think is too salty is the Homestyle Chili so I don't recommend it. During the Covid-19 pandemic, our office decided to order individual safe-serve meals for lunch. They offer quite a few selections and also delivered. A few people had the butter chicken with rice and cauliflower which was tasty but didn't have that much chicken in it. The stir fry chop box also did not contain enough meat. The beef rouladen with vegetables was good as usual. This catering company has a very nice selection and can supply lunch or dinner for your crowd no problem! Give them a try and you shouldn't be disappointed!

I had the Galicia Chicken Burger -breaded chicken layered with tangy sauerkraut, beet & prune mayo, and a whisper of smoky chipotle. Served with classic fries. This combination was unreal - the beet and prune may although sounding odd was such a lovely combination. Very flavourful. The only thing was the chicken patty was a little small, but still very tasty. The fries were the ones that are battered and I love them. Service was great. I will come back here again and again.

I used to come here regularly as it felt like home away from home on the Ave. The menu usually included an entree or sandwich option for the day with pasta or salads always available. You would see regular crowd favourites like the Ultimate Cheeseburger or Sterling Silver NY Steak. These would often sell out with people calling to reserve theirs ahead of time. Over time their business shifted to catering only and, with their level of quality mixed with their personal style, I can understand why.
