great place! looooove the atmosphere of it. very rustic feel. the food is great. very different but that's what makes it so great. highly recommend it if you like trying different things. read more

We had our 25th wedding anniversary at this establishment and were treated fabulously. The road trip was worth the cost, the services was bar none. The perogies were excellent and we had goose salad which was very tasty. Atmosphere was refreshing. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Over all number one in our books. read more

Our first experience with RGE RD earlier this fall - We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and experience the entire night. We ordered multiple items (some recommended by Chef at our request) and shared everything - without exception- all great. Well balanced taste, texture, complexity and presentation of exceptional and locally sourced food. And even "questionable bits"- don't be afraid- it was delicious. Knowledgeable, friendly, attentive server and conversation with owner-Chef Blair shows they are clearly passionate and informed about what they are doing. It shows in the food and the atmosphere. Big plus- the music and noise level was perfect- in the background and not the main ingredient. This is a leading edge restaurant- we are excited to see what evolves over time. read more

We decided to check this place out for a fancy birthday dinner. We booked a month in advance and still had limited service times so book early if you want a prime time service. We are fans of tasting menus, and usually order them anytime we are out for fine dining. The 'road trip' as they call it here is a blind tasting menu which is an interesting spin on the usual tasting menu. We also had the wine pairings with the tasting menu, which were quite nice. We only disliked one of the wines, and that was more of a personal preference thing rather than it being a bad wine. The food itself was well prepared, beautifully plated, perfectly explained by the knowledgeable staff, the whole nine yards. The issue I had was that no dish was incredible, rather all were just good. Perhaps it's my pallet, but I found several dishes rather bland. There were some interesting flavour notes and combinations but nothing revolutionary. We have eaten at high end restaurants all over the world and been wow'ed many times, but this place just didn't do it for us. At this price point we came in expecting to be blown away and simply weren't. read more

Food was great, flavours and textures were awesome and the atmosphere was top notch. Very cozy and nice and warm! I ordered the daily wine feature and noticed there was some residue/particles in my glass. This was most likely due to the wine being from the bottom/end of a bottle. Im a bartender and sometimes this happens, so I didn't bring it up because I'm not that picky but hopefully the bartender sees this and notices for next time. However, our server didn't seem like she wanted to be there and definitely lacked food/drink knowledge. Every time I spoke to her she wouldn't even make eye contact with me, and whenever she was speaking with us, she would only acknowledge my girlfriend, as if I wasn't even there. When I told her I had trouble choosing between the bison and the pig roast, she just said "well they're both different". Well obviously I know it's different...tell me something else?!?! Didn't really try to make small talk other than near the end (I assume she was trying harder for a tip near the end). She only had about 2 other tables, but we noticed that she spent more time at the table that had ordered an entire bottle of wine. Bigger Bill = Bigger Tip so I guess they deserve better service? She cleared the dessert plate, DIDN'T ask how it was, and as soon she took the plate, put down the bill in the same transaction and said "don't feel rushed or pressured to pay". I didn't ask for the bill nor did we look ready to leave so I'm not sure why she even gave it to us. Pretty rude and made us feel like we needed to leave. I ALWAYS tip 15% and above, especially for better cuisine, however this time the service was not up to par so I tipped less. She stood in front of me the entire time I was putting in my card information and as soon as she saw the amount, her face completely changed. Gave me my copy and stormed off. I hated feeling rushed and it was not a satisfying experience - especially for our anniversary. Honourable mention to the bartender (she was super nice and friendly, brought out our dessert and explained each part of it to us) and to the Chefs who put out some really stellar food, best duck breast we've ever had! Unfortunate situation for a place that I've been looking forward to trying for so long but we will definitely give it another try sometime! read more

Probably my favourite restaurant in the city. Each dish I've ever ordered was consistently yummy. I'm not sure if it's in season, but the BEST creme brûlée I've ever had. Parking can be a bit of a challenge and reservations are definitely required. read more

I can't make a single complaint about the food, of all four people at our table, no one had anything negative to say about anything we ate. Everything was cooked to perfection, full of flavor, presented beautifully. The one downside, it took longer to eat here than anywhere I've ever been in my life. I mean anywhere. It was 40 minutes between each visit to our table by a server. You can probably chalk it up to the fact that the food is truly made fresh from scratch, no precooked meals here. And it shows in the quality of the food. read more

It's really hard to add something new that hasn't already been mentioned in the overwhelming number of positive reviews. RGE RD scores a perfect ten on all elements of the dining experience: food, service and ambience. read more

Been here a couple of times now. I suggest getting the chefs tasting menu. It's nice to be served dishes I wouldn't ordinarily order. Let's you experience something new and I highly recommend it. I will definitely go back again and again read more

A group of four of us visited RGE RD recently and were very impressed with their menu and service! Top Drawer for sure! We had the kitchen board selection of meats and breads and the borscht sausage for appetizer. I had the pasture raised beef entree. Super delicious!! We will go back again. read more

Excellent service, which I find rare in Edmonton. The food was very very good. The server was super knowledgeable and helpful. I found the menu a little limited, especially if you are not a pork eater. The atmosphere is pleasant. The place is small and cozy. The only reason I am giving 4 starts is because the menu was a bit limited and I didn't have many choices. If you eat pork, I would say it's 5 starts for sure. read more

Heard about this place from some friends, then I saw a segment on the news where the chef made a meal, looked real good so my wife and I went for our anniversary, we did what's called the rge rd trip, it's all up to the chef and you don't know what you're getting, it was 6 courses, each were fantastic, quite expensive for the trip, but definitely worth it, great wine selection, great atmosphere, the staff were wonderful, I recommend it to everyone. read more

We had the bison and market beef dishes which were both delicious. I love the fact that they use local food! Service was great but the only reason they lost a star is some of the tables are so close in the small, quiet atmosphere that we felt we were being listened to the whole time by people around us. read more

Travelled to YEG for a meal with my lady friends- great service, inventive but not pretentious food and a really easy going server. Great experience read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner last night, and it was incredible. Everything from the cola Danny ordered, to the complimented pairings of garnish on each dish. The ambiance is wonderful and cozy with great service to boot. Will we return, you betcha!! read more

We've visited twice now and both were excellent experiences. First was with a large group, which was great as we were able to try a lot of different dishes, and there wasn't a single miss. The second time was with my husband for our anniversary. We were able to get a reservation for a Saturday just 2 days before, which was great. Food was as great as the first time, and we enjoyed that the menu had been switched up enough that we could try some new things. Ambience is cozy and not too loud, service is exceptional. Cocktails and wine list are both solid. I can't think of a better dining experience we've had in Edmonton. read more

Took my wife here for her birthday and she totally enjoyed it! It a really nice ambiance to relax and enjoy a glass of wine and good food. Oh, the food, it as amazingly delicious. Our waiter Ron, was prompt and very helpful with the selection of our meal. I have no reservation in recommending that you take a trip down the "RGE RD". read more

I'm looking forward to coming back here. I had a fantastic experience and am glad to see such genuine food being served in Edmonton. The dining experience isn't the least bit pretentious. There's a real warm atmosphere that translates through the menu. We tried the RGD RD trip, which was a little on the pricey side, but the range of dishes and quality of food was certainly worth it. read more

Their hours are suggestion, so if you show up "late" you will not be served. I suggest calling before hand so that your 30 minute drive doesn't leave you disappointed and hangry. The hostess was super great to send us to a couple other restaurants in the city thoigh. read more

I was taken here for my birthday recently and was very impressed. We did not have a reservation (although we did try earlier in the day but no one got back to us), we showed up around 7pm on a Monday and they were able to seat us immediately (table for two). Great cocktails. Service was a little slow at first, but was still very good. The starters are a little overpriced in my opinion and I would skip them next time around. The entrees however were generous and delicious and well worth the price tag. Lovely decor and atmosphere and I would definitely go back. read more

RGE Rd has been a bucket list visit spot for a long time. Finally managed to plan a visit and was not disappointed. Decor was relaxing and fun. Service was terrific and the staff were fun and engaging. Menu was well laid out and offered a good variety for all palates. Being adventurous I tried the "Questionable bits" and was very satisfied with my perfectly cooked heart. The bison was superb and perfectly cooked. To my mind I don't need to be asked how I like my steak, the chef should be able to look at the meat and choose the perfect doneness. And they did. The chick pea dish was wonderful and the pierogies were in a fabulous sauce. I dared to try the blue cheese creme brûlée and while I am very open to taste combinations, it wasn't my favourite combo. The saltiness of the blue cheese was a little over powering of the sweetness of the brûlée crust. A fun adventure but a miss for me. Not a cheap night out but worth the experience. read more

See all

This place gets a lot of hype around town. I found the food to be really good, flavorful and innovative. However (and I'm not usually one to complain about this, as I've eaten at a lot of fine dining establishments including 3 michelin star rated ones and it sort of comes with the territory) the plates were SMALL. Like really small. Like I'm hitting the McDonalds drive-thru after dinner small. So just be aware of that going in. But definitely quality food. read more

RGE RD is my absolute favourite restaurant in the city, no question (I was angry that it lost its status as Avenue Magazine's best restaurant this year because I have had way better meals here than at Corso!). It's perfect for special occasions, and especially perfect to shut up visiting relatives from Toronto (or any other city with a superiority complex) who think that Edmonton just can't compare in terms of anything, let alone food. I'd describe the food as farm-to-table Canadian. The ingredients are always fresh and in season, the menu is always changing, so it's hard to recommend things to others (or to know what's coming each time I come). I've eaten here a few times and have always enjoyed my whole meal. Appetizers are around $10-15 and mains are in the high 20's/low 30's - definitely not the most expensive night out in town. Decor is rustic and you don't have to dress up too much to go (smart casual is ok, definitely saw both nice jeans and dresses). Dishes I've enjoyed and would recommend time and time again (if you're lucky enough to have them pop up on your menu): - Green Bean Salad (appetizer) - my favourite dish of theirs, ever. Green beans with lemon curd and a poached egg to top it all off. Fresh, tangy and creamy all rolled into one. You must order this if it is on the menu (when I returned tonight they had an asparagus salad variant of this which I didn't try because I'm not a huge asparagus fan). - Clam and Pastrami Tart (appetizer) - it sounds... odd, and I would never have ordered it had the server not raved about it. But is so cheesy and creamy and caramelized. - Bison (main) - the bison is cooked to a perfect medium rare, but what makes it really special is the delicious spaetzle and currants that accompany the dish. - Duck breast (main) - the most tender and juicy duck I've ever had... with a potato latke, rhubarbs and apple butter foam! - Creme brulee (dessert) - again, the flavours vary by season, but one of my favourites has been a lavender creme brulee served in a rosewater poached pear... understated and elegant! Like a recent review stated, it is undergoing renovations on the outside and has a big dumpster in front of it - the building is now painted bright lime green, which... doesn't really seem to be in line with how I envision the restaurant... but it's the inside that counts, right? read more

Lots of meats so it's already a hit for the typical Albertan. Well thought out menu, good size, great cozy atmosphere however they don't really manipulate your food or push any culinary boundaries. Easily a top 10 in Edmonton. read more

Lovely atmosphere, good wine and fantastic service. Also, great desert. Dinner was a different story though. I ordered the Locally-Sourced Pasture Raised Beef, and it was disappointing. Sometimes beef has an strong off-taste and this whole dish was that way. I couldn't finish it. My companions loved their meals though, so maybe just don't order the beef. read more

The food was amazing! However, it is on the pricier side. Enjoyed how cozy the restaurant atmosphere was. It was an excellent place to go for a special occasion. read more

Made the mistake that Anthony Bourdain suggests against and went here on a Monday. So much of the service felt unrefined. Hostess was not as attentive as one would expect for the reputation of the restaurant, the server had moments where he became nearly argumentative and defensive, and both our meals (one a flat iron bison the other duck breast) came out cool from the kitchen. Granted, the "charcuterie" board we had as an appetizer was quite spectacular and the flavour profiles of our mains were quite good, and the creme brulé was done very well, small things with every aspect of the service seemed unreflective of the hype and price of the meal. It felt like the entire staff needed a leader to get them back on their game. I may give it a second chance on a different day of the week, but RGE RD certainly missed it's mark the night we went. Another very surprising note was given the prices commanded for their fine dining menu, the restaurant does not accept all major credit cards. read more

Maybe it's because we didn't do the Rge Rd trip ( larger group and not everyone wanted it ). But food was still excellent but not as memorable as Rge Rd trip. Steak was really good, seasoned well. I didn't really like it sliced and although they give you a wild mushroom ragout to put over it, I prefer my steaks clean with no sauce. The questionable bits were great and kitchen board was good. Food - always well seasoned and prepared. Not my preferred serving of steak but it's still very good. Wine - lots ( majority if not all ) are Canadian wines. Not being anti patriotic but I am not a fan of Canadian reds but they had some really decent ( to very good ) ones. Atmosphere - lots of people dress up for this place but they make it feel more casual which I like. I have no problem going to this restaurant over and over again. I know they will, for me, float between a 4 and 5 stars depending on what I order. read more

My wife and I went to Range Road for a special dinner and we were not disappointed! We didn't have reservations but the staff was happy to sit us at the bar. We were then entertained and wined and dined by the fantastic bartender, who offered plenty of suggestions. The food was absolutely fabulous. Couldn't ask for a better dining experience. read more

RGE RD is cozy and warm as soon as you walk in. We were greeted by the hostess, and shown to our table right away (booked a reservation weeks in advance). Our server was really sweet, and although she was really busy we felt she took care of us. Everything on the menu looked so good we took awhile to choose, and decided to go on the "road trip". It was WOW the meal was beautifully done, it was 6 courses with the main entrée being elk which was absolutely perfectly executed. The food comes out at a great pace so you're not rushing. It is a high price point, but for 6 courses each one better than the last, and the experience of trying new and different things (beef bone marrow, so delicious) was completely worth it. Will be returning on our next big occasion! read more

was very excited about coming here, the idea and the menu are quite cool. the ingredients were very good and the service was very good, but the cooking was mediocre. most of the proteins were just flat-out overcooked, which was shocking. maybe we came on a bad night. read more

Delicious food, nice atmosphere. Slightly pricey for the portion, but good quality and farm fresh.

Wow!! The food and service is amazing! I ate the bison steak and it was delicious. I think they constantly change the menu so you may or may not see the same thing twice. This is all the more reason to eat here again to try other wonderful dishes. The resturaunt itself is kinda off the beaten path, if you blink you'll miss it. The inside is a little small which gives it charm and exclusivity. I look forward to eating here again! It is more of a business casual but jeans and a golf shirt will do. read more

Wow, what a disappointment. Party of 5 who are used to 5 star restaurants spent approximately 2 hours at the restaurant tonight. Food was only slightly adequate. Would rate this restaurant at a 2.5 at most. Bison was bland and tasteless. Beef tenderloin was the fattiest cut of meat ever served in any other restaurant we have tried in Edmonton. Appetizers were small but were the only redeeming saviors of our dining experience. Didn't bother to stay for dessert. Not one of the 5 guests would return to this restaurant. Did not get value for the money spent. read more

All I can say is the food and service is worth many more stars than what yelp permits. We went here because we couldn't believe a restaurant has 5 stars in Yelp....well we now know why!! From the Perogies with white onion cream sauce, the tomato and bread salad, the leg of lamb curry with chick peas in red wine sauce, to the pork (absolutely amaaaaazing), to the honey parfait and Saskatoon berry desert, EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations, and then some! We will definitely be putting this place on our regular rotation of "go to" restaurants!! read more

Modern day eatery that hits all the marks. Leave the kids at home and enjoy the feast for the eyes and body. Everything on the menu is hip and to be enjoyed. Multiple trips necessary. read more

This place is a hidden gem within Edmonton... it is quiet, romantic and worth every penny. The quality of food is just superb as well as the range of options it has. The waitress we had was friendly, polite, and attentive. I always recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something new. I am going back this weekend! read more

The service was very rushed as we had a 6:00 PM reservation and they appeared to want our table. The kitchen board was quite bland and there was nothing on the board to put on the dry bread served with it. The crab cakes lacked flavour. I had the lake fish and it was cooked nice but not a lot of flavour and it was served on plain boiled potatoes. My spouse had the pork roast and it was undercooked. baked alaska was mediocre at best. I asked for a coffee after the waiter brought the bill (rushing us out) and he took the bill back to add the coffee on a $400 bill, I thought that was cheesy. Overall I would not go back. read more

I've had a few great experiences at Rge Rd. The food is generally delicious and memorable. The portions appear smaller than a "chain restaurant" but are filling and of high quality. I've had two poor quality dinners here, one over-seasoned and one bland and poorly cooked, but my overall experience has been great and I would recommend trying Rge Rd to everyone. For a first visit perhaps ask the servers for a dish that is a favourite, rather than a new seasonal trial, in order to ensure you have the best experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgable, and attentive. read more

Great care is taken with all aspects of your dining experience at RGE RD! They seem to always deliver Fresh and Healthy food with Excellent service. Drinks are crafted in a manner that is exciting, fun and new. I highly recommend everything about RGE RD except for the fact that seating is usually booked solid for a week or two but the wait always proves worthwhile. :) Keep up the good work! read more
