A gorgeous early-evening stroll brought me to Pip, my ole stomping grounds for 6 yrs at the OSYS round the corner next to Varscona and now the city has put the building for sale.. Tonight felt like a true homecoming. I arrived a little early and enjoyed walking through the neighbourhood before settling in. Madeline, our server, was warm, attentive, and absolutely lovely. Harry ordered his usual martini, and when it arrived looking so crisp and elegant, I couldn't resist ordering one myself. Madeline also brought out a purple martini with olives that looked divine and tasted even better -- one of the most beautiful cocktails I've had in Edmonton. We both chose seafood dishes, and every plate was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly done. Pip manages to be elevated yet relaxed, with a real community vibe. It's kid‑friendly, welcoming, and has a great patio for summer evenings. A memorable evening at a neighbourhood gem and with Pals next door it serves the community well with so many cafes closed following #Covid on #Whyte Ave #YEG read more

Very misleading hours posted we showed up there at 9:41 and were told that they were closing soon and that they shut their kitchen down at 9:45pm & that they had already done last call for food for the night. They were still willing to serve us food to go though when my friend initially asked for menus they said to go? . Super disappointing we drove a half an hour to make it on time and rushed and everything thinking that an hour and 20 minutes before it closes is more than enough time for a quick Dinner service for two people and obviously we're not a-holes so when the entire staff is ready to just shutter early and leave, we're not gonna be the two people that insist that they stay open. The guy working there was really nice to my friend apparently though. So nothing against the staff personally or anything. Oh, and the gazebo is getting wild. There's some guy out there screaming about cutting some girl named Kristen's head off so if there's any violent crimes tonight, we're audible witnesses lol read more

Pip is absolutely delicious for brunch and for dinner. I ate there twice in one day because my dinner reservation elsewhere was cancelled. The interior is beautiful exposed brick, warm grey chairs and banquets. Very comfortable and chic. The hostess and wait staff are friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions. For brunch I had the short rib benedict, atomic blond cocktail, and coffee. All were very good. For dinner I had the focaccia with whipped ricotta, a sazerac, the gnoochi, and an affogato for dessert. The whipped ricotta was the suggested appetizer by my server and of my goodness I could have crawled right into it--absolutely get that! If I went back to Edmonton for a visit I was definitely go back. read more

The food service and ambiance are all excellent. I had the chicken and it was perfectly cooked, fork tender and delicious. The serving was quite large so I was glad I hadn't ordered salad, soup or appetizers. The water was lukewarm and still had the taste of the tap. The server was almost too attentive and kept it topped up. The desserts looked tempting but we were all too full to eat anything more than our mains. A good place to take a date or your parents. A bit pricey, perhaps but everything seems pricey to me these days. Reservations recommended for peak times. read more

Great food on Whyte. Sometimes, you just think, "is Whyte just for university students?" Go to Pip for the answer. Every dish well executed and balanced. Wow! Fennel salad was mellow without the overwhelming licorice flavour. Large size was humongous. Steak frites was well executed w au poivre sauce. Perfection. Dessert was the featured one: Pavlova w mellow custard and apricot topped w walnut crumble. Often this type of dessert is cloyingly sweet but Pips treatment was perfectly balanced. Seriously impressed and will make this part of our restaurant "rotation". read more

We decided to go to Pip to try it again for supper. This time I was more impressed then the last time. It is beautiful in the new location with more space and it seemed more personable than the last place. The wood work and the candles set an cozy space to enjoy drinks and chat. Our server was prompt and friendly. We decided on thow dishes - hubby decided on the steak fries and I decided on beef ragu. Both came out presented lovely. My husband's steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. Fries were well cooked with a tasty roasted garlic sauce to accompany it. The whole dish worked. My beef ragubeef ragu was made with a braised beef w/ pappardelle in tomato sauce and dusted with fresh cheese. I really enjoyed this dish. It was a hearty portion and a great way to take off the chill on a cold winter's day. We will definately consider this place again! read more

Great service and even better coffee. Do not leave without a bottle of their in house mango hot sauce.

I don't live in Edmonton anymore so it's nice to try out restaurants when I'm in town. Pip is a new favorite! Dropped in on a Saturday morning hoping to grab brunch during the rush and we got lucky! We were seated right away. The interior is fresh and airy with a touch of art deco and lots of exposed brick. Our server Selene was super nice and took great care of us. We ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict and it was so good! Food came out pretty quick considering it was prime brunch time. Got a side of the Pip's hot sauce on the side and it was the perfect thing to top off the dish. Next time I would order the breakfast hash that comes with as extra crispy - that's just how I like to do breakfast potatoes. Still delicious the way it came, though! Looking forward to coming back for the dinner service! read more

NOT JUST A BRUNCH SPOT. When looking for a nice place for dinner, I wasn't sure this place was much of a go-to for evening fare as most of the reviews were of their brunch. They moved so the photos of the inside that are older are not the current location. Really enjoyed the cocktails, wine, dinner feature (trout), and dessert. Service was excellent, atmosphere right on point, and I would recommend Pip to anyone, any time of day/night. read more

Being on the corner of 104 and 83 Ave inside a brick structure is remarkable. Their food was not as great as I expected but it could be due to what I ordered and my taste. They were kind to seat us without reservations during holiday season. I would return to try their lunch menu items and more. read more

Worthy of its name. Located in the popular whyte Avenue area. Pip offers a variety of options for every taste bud. Better know for delicious brunch. However, also have great dinner and lunch options. The restaurant is very small, hence the name. The decoration is very nice. The service was prompt and courteous. They do have their wait times online where you can reserve a spot. I ordered the French toast with strawberry rhubarb. The portions were decent. The taste was great. The only thing is that it comes with a lot of cream cheese frosting which can be a bit overwhelming. Overral, delicious, good service and cozy place. read more

Pip is perfect to either start or end a night out on Whyte ave. Being so close the Walterdale... Dinner and theatre ... Perfect !!

We've always found Plp to be a little hit & miss. Our recent brunch there continued the trend. The sitting policy was very strange. The place was half empty. Everyone waiting was in pairs but the hostess declined to sit a 2 at a 4-place table, so the growing line up just had to wait. On the plus side we all bonded over the shoddy treatment. Once finally seated, the food was mediocre, somehow they managed to both over- and under-cook scrambled eggs. read more

We stopped here on Victoria Day for some early brunch. Cute, small, quaint place. Some outside seating as well. We ordered a coffee and a mimosa, the mushroom toast with egg and a cup of tomato soup with cheese croutons. All the food tasted great but nothing special. The service was meh, was too friendly. It is extremely overpriced for such little portions. The $9 mimosa wasn't even filled half way in comparison to the other tables around me. Our mushroom toast was $17 and only came with one piece of toast and one poached egg with a small side of hash browns. That's alone, I wouldn't be back for the portion/cost ratio. read more

I love that Pip uses the yelp app so you can join the waiting list for brunches. It's super helpful. This place is small and really tight. Definitely not the place for you if you're even slightly wanting any kind of social distance. That being said the food is incredible. I had the mushroom toast and it FLOORED me. It was so unreal. I would definitely be interested in eating here again but I will say the girl working the door had a bit of a "chilly" demeanor. I would return again for the food, not the service. read more

A friend had recommended I tried the gnocchi and let me tell you I was not disappointed. This was by far the best gnocchi I've ever had. I wish the portion sizes were larger. The steak frites were really delicious as well. Only complaint is the service, it took just over 45 minutes to get the food. And it wasn't hot when we got it either. Then another waiter had came and gave us a $30 gift card for our next visit, and apologized for the wait. It was also a 20 minute wait to get a table, so I'm glad I got to try the food but next time I'd rather just order it as take out. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm glad I did. The food was great but the service could use improvement. It was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon but our table seemed far from our server's section. As a result, we had to wait for service and updates. Although the food was delicious, it was very slow for a breakfast restaurant. It shouldn't have taken 45 minutes to receive poached eggs and a sandwich. Because of this, we're unlikely to return. read more

First time going to Pip for dinner. I was a little skeptical because they are a breakfast and brunch kind of restaurant. So wanted to see what their dinner ambiance was like. And they did not disappoint! Nicely dim lights for that romantic feel for a date. Our server was lovely. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant. Food was amazing! They definitely should be up there with the fine dinning category! I ordered the Buratta for my appetizer which was probably one of the best I've ever had. Extremely flavourful! Then ordered the Braised Beef with Mushroom Risotto! Wow! Such an amazing dish! The beef just pulls apart nicely and that mushroom Risotto just brings the flavors all together! Then finished with a delicant chocolate tort! The wine paired well with our dinner! What I also loved is that they had a small menu to choose from. Can't wait to go back and try the other delicious mains on their menu! read more

Had the traditional Benny - shaved ham Benny with dill hollandaise and hash -$17 . Oat Latte - 6$ . The Benny was good. 2 slices of sourdough with soft poached eggs. The hollandaise was quite rich, but all tasted good. . I'd love if they made their own hot sauce &/ ketchup. . Otherwise super cute, as everyone says and good ingredients. I found the latte price a bit much, but if you don't drink alcohol you get away with brunch for 2 for $50. . I'd come again, but it's a bit pricy for a casual Saturday. That said, prices have gone up everywhere and this is definitely one of the better brunch places in edmonton! read more

I stopped here this past week for late brunch on my way home from an appointment. I managed to snag a close street parking spot and I was seated quickly. I had hoped my friend could join me but unfortunately timing didn't work out. However, I did snag a spot on the back bench and was wonderful location to watch people walking by and not be blinded by the rare sunlight we seem to be enjoying this fall. There is also bar stools along another window that would be perfect if you know up front you're just grabbing a quick coffee or are by yourself. As observed last time, this place is perfect for those grabbing a meal solo or have 2-3 persons/table. I arrived a bit later than 1 pm and it was still quite busy up until I left (a bit after 3 pm), which is interesting to see on a week day. As it was that busy the whole time, the level of noise stayed fairly constantly loud with amount of people and background music. My server was wonderful and very attentive. Coffee here is tasty and food arrived quickly this visit. Again, I had the bennie but this time with what I think was the braised short ribs for the meat. Loved the smokey taste. Potatoes of course to accompany it (as how else would you got to make sure you get all that hollandaise sauce off the plate without looking like a 2 year old licking your plate clean?). I really liked the range of choices on the menu and will be back again to try something else. Glad this experience made me want to increase my star rating. The real trick to properly enjoying this place is going solo or max 3 in a group. read more

Brunch at Pip is always great! The service was very good and quick despite the restaurant being full. Their new location has much more seating, space and natural light compared to their previous location. We had to wait 30 mins for a table which wasn't bad at all. The lattes and cappuccinos are always delicious and the short rib eggs Benedict is my go-to. The mushroom toast is also a great option. read more

I can honestly say this was the first time I ever ate a grilled cheese sandwich with a knife and fork. My wife and I have been wanting to visit PIP for a while now, and today we finally got that chance. My wife had a lobster roll and said it was absolutely fantastic. I had the grilled cheese with an over easy egg and dill hollandaise sauce and it was absolutely fantastic. The service we received was very good and I quite enjoyed the atmosphere. We were able to bring our two year old son which was great but I wouldn't say the menu is very kid friendly. That being said my boy ate and loved the potatoes and we ordered a side of avocado which he devoured. Both my wife and I love this place and are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

The space is small and the service is sometimes slow but the tastiness of the food makes up for it! This place is small and doesn't take redo's but you can see wait times in Yelp! All of the food was SO good and the home made maple butters and jams for the French toast put us over the top! All so good! We also loved the grapefruit mimosas! Not a ton of options, which is sometimes nice and all of the food was so tasty! Definitely reccomend! read more

If you can get past Mike, the incredibly obnoxious and dismissive 'host;' the overcooked slow cooker pot roast, fresh dill, and extra tart hollandaise is almost worth the $20 plate. Just kidding. It's not. Im honestly very disappointed in what should have been an excellent dining experience. Almost exclusively because of this Mike character. Check out the other low reviews on Google about 'the middle aged host' for some affirmation. If a couple kindly asks if some tables without reservation signs or menus on them are available, it's a valid question to be addressed, not one to be rudely dismissed and glanced over. You werent even that busy. Your entire establishment has maybe 10 tables? Youre the first point of contact in a restaurant; after a show of disrespect like that it can only go downhill for everyone. I do appreciate that the servers were all very nice and excellent at their job but unfortunate victims to Mike. This is besides the lukewarm tapwater given to us in dirty, excessively fingerprinted, water glasses. Which in usual circumstances could be forgiven. As someone that makes it a point to always finish their food or take their leftovers home - i couldnt enjoy my meal even when i tried to force myself. The disrespect i experienced as a hungry, hopeful, and paying patron was to the point that i lost my appetite. In summary, i like to eat but i literally could not stomach this otherwise half-decent meal. The traditional Benny is the most acceptable. Avoid this place. Not worth the hype - Denny's, Cora's, Route 99, OEB, McDonald's, and Tim Hortons are much better options. At least you wont be treated like swine. This guy even had the nerve to try and shake my hand on the way out as if he doesnt know how rude he is? Mike, I know youve heard it all before. Abhorrent behavior. read more

As I came to visit my cousins for the weekend, I wanted to try a brunch place with comfort food so we decided to check out Pip based on word of mouth. I was told it gets very busy here so good thing we came for late brunch and there were seats available right away. As it's quite small I suggest coming later in the day unless you're ok waiting in line. If you carry a long coat, fear not as they offer coat hangers to the right of the entrance. I started off with a Hugo Spritz and decided to try their lunch special which was a Grilled ham and cheese sandwich with egg and hollandaise sauce topped with a cup of mushroom soup. If you come with an empty stomach and want something hearty and delicious, you should definitely try it but I heard it's only there for a limited time. Just off of Whyte ave, I can see why this place is a very popular place to eat! Little room, big hearts. Xo read more
