    This was my first visit to Rhubarb. It was a pleasant surprise. The cafe had music in the background but it wasn't very loud so sitting here was quite comfortable. I ordered a coffee and the featured sandwich. My partner ordered a savoury toast dish and meatball soup. I tasted her toast but didn't find it particularly flavourful although it was hard to tell right after eating my sandwich. The sandwich made for a nice light lunch. It was well made with good flavours. I had a drip coffee that was freshly made and it was quite nice. Actually it was better than "nice" as it was just right. If Rhubarb Cafe was closer to home I would definitely return but I live on the other side of the city. If you are looking for a relaxing environment to enjoy your coffee and perhaps a light lunch or pastry, this might be the cafe for you. As a bonus you get to visit the best looking strip mall in Edmonton. I recommend it.

    I have been here for coffee and also for cocktails. I'm telling you their cocktails are amazing. Very unique and so delicious. Their patio is really nice right by the fountain in Manchester Square. I highly recommend the Rhubarb cocktail and the Rhubarb mule. I appreciate that they have milk, alternatives, and vegetarian options on their menu. Last time we were there for cocktails the waiter didn't come out once to ask us if we needed anything else and the interior could use some work for the night cocktail vibe. But I would still highly recommend.

    Nice location in Manchester Square with plenty of parking, bike accessible (via the multi-use path that comes up from Oliver), and a nice south-facing patio to catch the spring sunshine. This place looks trendy and has lots of room indoors as well as a decent amount of seating outside. Their strong points seem to be fancy cocktails and coffee/pastries; good place to stop by for a latte and a pastry on a weekend morning, or for some fancy drinks in the evening. We had a Golden Hour and a Chimney Sweep cocktail and both were delicious. Unfortunately the service was very slow; we sat down outside but as nobody greeted us I went inside to order; but although the patio outside was mostly full the entire interior was empty, even the front bar, and I stood there for nearly 5 minutes before anyone came to help me. We tried their Maple Pumpkin Bruschetta as well, from their food cocktail menu; however, we were less impressed with this. Not only was there no significant amount of either pumpkin or maple (it was mostly yellow tomatoes), the toasted baguette slices were over-dry and hard. We had originally contemplated getting a few of the nibbles here for dinner but the experience of the bruschetta made us decide to move elsewhere for food. However, they are literally called "Rhubarb Cafe & Cocktails" so clearly they know their strong points - by all means visit them and enjoy some great cocktails (and presumably coffee) and maybe just skip the bar food for now. They're pretty new at this location so hopefully once they get into the swing of things their service and food quality will both improve.

    We decided to have a date on Saturday morning. We ended up at this very cute Cafe. Walking in I was amazed how beautiful it looked. Excellent space and clean/crisp atmosphere. I ordered white mocha while the wife ordered a Caramel Macchiato. For snacks we got a mini egg cookie and a Danish of some sort. My ratings were as follows: Coffees 3/5 Danish 1/5 (was hard and dry) Cookie 4/5 Ambience 5/5 The service was very friendly and quick. Seems pricier than other places but it is meant to be upscale. All in all, was a great visit (besides the danish). Cute space to have a coffee date. The complex looks very European and gives you a feel that you are not in Edmonton.

For starters, we had the crispy yam fries and the Creole crab & spinach dip. Both were very good! I wasn't a huge fan of the chips that came with the crab dip, but honestly, that's such a small thing compared to how good the dip itself was. For mains, we had the chicken fingers and the peppercorn ribeye. The chicken fingers were SO good -- perfectly cooked with amazing breading. I wasn't a fan of the honey mustard, and unfortunately they didn't offer another dipping sauce, but the chicken itself was fantastic. And the ribeye... SOOOO GOOD. It was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the mashed potatoes that came with it were amazing. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The décor was great -- very modern and very 109th Street. It has that slick, upscale bar vibe that fits the area really well. The only awkward part was the hostess stand, which kind of puts you in the middle of a very active walkway while you're waiting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, though! Huge shoutout to our server Abby, who was fantastic and made the experience even better. Overall, really enjoyed our dinner at Cactus Club. A couple tiny misses, but the food, atmosphere, and service definitely made up for them. I'd absolutely come back!

Small place though and I imagine on weekends it would be really loud. Our server happened to be the owner as well. He was prompt and friendly. He treated us well. Tonnes of amazing cocktails on the menu. I think I will try a different cocktail every time I go. There is one for everyone. Menu is short but has something for everyone there too. I decided on the Warm Mushroom Salad which contained a Mushroom Medley, with a Shallot, Rose Water, & Elderflower Liqueur Vinaigrette and the Spicy Rigatoni with Habanero Rose Sauce. My husband went with Braised Chuck Flatserved on fresh grits, glazed in demi. Cocktails were carefully crafted and the food came out in a timely manner. Food was excellent. The mushroom salad was full of flavour and cooked properly. The spicy rigatoini was excellent with just enough heat from the habanero sauce. However, the real start was the braised chuck which melted with a tap of the fork. The grits were well cooked and a good accompaniment. We were stuffed but I would like to try thier desserts in the future. Cocktail prices were high but in the same price range as other fancy cocktail bars. The food prices were the same as many other places but with higher quality. Definately try this place out. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I liked it, It made it more intimanite. Menu varies depending on the season. But I am sure that everyone will find something they would like. We chose a few things raw elk with fried capers, shallots & blueberries, the seared scallops with celeriac puree, capers, garlic and butter, saskatoon berry brisket with beef and carmelized onion on bannock, and the pappardelle rabbit ragu with parmigian reggiano . We also took two cockails which was delicous. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was delicious. The stand out was the raw elk. Delicous combination of thing that do a party in you mouth. I would go back just for that . The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the brisket. Way too sweet for me. Be warned it is pricey. Expect to empty your pocket book.

The menu is somewhat seasonal and they were happy to answer all our questions and to provide suggestions where needed. We mostly had some appetizers and we'd like to come back to try more dishes. The seasonal salad had apples and walnuts and was super hearty and delicious. The scallops and the sauce were so tender and creamy, the bison tartare was really nice too. It was similar to a steak tartare with its own twist. If you enjoy steak tartare you will love this. We will definitely be back! Great new local restaurant to support!
