We ordered French Toast ($22), Duck & Waffles ($26) a mimosa ($6) and an americano ($6). Got here right as it opened. The duck & waffles was a confit duck leg, vanilla liege waffles, foie gras gravy with a bistro salad that had a yuzu vanilla vinaigrette. Duck was delicious. I liked the salad, but honestly felt that the vanilla in the vinaigrette would be best removed. However, that's my personal opinion. The waffles were... ok. It was like eating cake and bits of sugar. I mentioned to the server that the waffles had chunks of sugar in them, but she said that they were sugar coated. To be honest, I'm not convinced. there was chunks of white sugar, not a glaze...In the waffle itself. And the batter was very heavy, thick and cake like. Not the best waffles. French toast was great, very filling and delicious. It has a foie gras caramel, maple pecans, maple caramelized apples, whipped cream cheese and back bacon. This can easily be your new favourite. My mimosa was amazing, best mimosa I've honestly ever had. Americano wasn't really anything special, especially for $6. While it was a decent breakfast, I don't think I would order waffles again from here unless they change their recipe. I was also a little disappointed they didn't have more than 2 flavours of latte. I don't think I would return with the competition that's out there, but it wasn't bad. read more

I'm shocked the ratings are so high on both Google and yelp. The food is way over priced and portions are small. The menu doesn't give you appetizer options so all they have are expensive mains. I ordered the cabbage rolls and basically it was very small amount of cabbage with tons of pork sausage for $34. Yes it was alright but that was it! No vegetables, no side starch. Sides are not even in the menu for you to order. The dish was way too heavy. My husband's gnocchi dish was mediocre as well. The service was good though. It wasn't their fault that the restaurant menu was so bad. I ended up leaving and headed to Norleys to order Empanadas. Overall we will not go back. Such a bad experience. read more

Disappointing Experience with Questionable Fish and Poor Service. My friend and I visited The Eden with high expectations, but left thoroughly disappointed. We ordered the bouillabaisse, only to find the skate fish stringy, bitter, and clearly off. When we raised our concerns, the server dismissed us, insisting the chef deemed it acceptable and that "everyone" was being served the same (yikes!). Worse, she suggested the issue was with our "uneducated palates." After, using Google, I confirmed what we already suspected: fresh skate should be mild and delicate--not bitter and unpleasant. For a restaurant of this caliber (pricey), the quality of both the food and the service fell far short. A truly disappointing experience. read more

Love this place! Blue crab salad is a must!!! Wish I would stay on the menu always! But regardless, have never had a bad meal there. This place is one of my fave spots in Calgary. read more

The highest compliment I can give a restaurant is to say very little. What a sublime experience it was eat here! Flawless in every way. For those visiting Calgary, who also love great food, this is a must visit read more

The Eden - Amazing "baked yogurt " dessert - French Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

Portions are small for the price, so doesn't make sense with how highly rated this place is on Open Table and Yelp. They changed the way they make their French toast and I was super disappointed. Definitely not a fan of the sour cream whipping cream, garnished with diced pineapple, with caramel sauce, and they also cheaped out on the bread and meat, which is a terrible choice for a change from how they made their French toast back last year in late September when I first went there. read more

such an amazing meal. Coral, our server was casual but professional. don't miss the short rib "steak frites" or cauliflower dishes.

The Eden features a great menu, excellent service and is in the expected price range. Chances are that you meet one of the owners and you can experience their passion for food & service first hand. The dining room has two levels and dining on the upper level is definitely an experience. This is a nice venue for a romantic dinner but also works perfectly for a quick bistro style lunch. We will be back many times - thank you for a great experience. read more

Had dinner here tonight and was completely impressed by the quality of food!!! Highly recommend. Nice location in Inglewood. From the outside, leaves a bit to be desired. I actually walked by it a couple of times when I was looking for the place. The restaurant has a simple menu with lots to choose from but everything we had was just top notch. The server was great and very attentive. Shared the Thursday special Lobster and Crab Cobb Salad, Burrata Toasts, Lamb Sirloin and the Croque Madame. Who doesn't love burrata lol? It came with a selection of olives, pickled peppers and olive oil with perfectly toasted baguette. The Cobb salad was tasty, came with crumbled blue cheese, bacon, egg, guacamole too. The lamb so flavourful and was served on a polenta patty that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The croque madame was a fancier version served on a croissant, with roasted chicken, mustard pearls, fried egg and parmesan cream. Such a solid meal. Looking forward to returning in the near future! read more

The reputation of this joint made me seek it. In short it's even better than stated anywhere An underwhelming setup but quite clean.close your eyes and choose from the menu: you can't go wrong, taste is unforgettable. The service will be the reason to come back. read more

Visited on a Sunday for brunch. Lots of free street parking in Inglewood on Sundays, would assume a little bit more difficult on Saturdays. The brunch menu is short and sweet but you still have to spend a good minute contemplating between all the menu items because they all sound sooo good. Got the breakfast poutine and the burger. The poutine portion looked small at first, but topped with two eggs and a yummy sauce consisting of mushrooms and braised beef, it was comforting and filling. I like how it was different from most breakfast poutines because it had thinly shredded hashbrown. Yums! The burger was also really great - simple but the patty was juicy and the bun was perfectly toasted. I see reviews about a burger with truffle and I assume it's available for dinner because the breakfast one did not have any on it. Had a mimosa to compliment my brunch. The server was amazing and not overbearing. I saw some pics of what's available for dinner and I'd love to visit again for other dishes. Overall would recommend this place if you're looking for a new brunch spot! read more

I came to Inglewood to visit kane's harley diner, but it was closed and this place was open so here I had breakfast. Its a small busy place so I had to sit at the bar. I had simple breakfast of eggs bacon and hashbrowns. All really great. They give you some toasted peices of baguette. They also give you a french press of coffee. So even though it was not my plan, was glad I stopped by. read more

First time going to The Eden and was very impressed, we felt welcomed from the time we entered, the food was delicious and the menu isn't overwhelming. A great date night or meet up with friends! We had a great experience and will be returning! read more

Lovely spot in Inglewood. My friend and I tried the vegetarian burger, mushroom toast and mussels and frites. The veggie patty is from "Know Meat". Personally, I prefer this patty to the Beyond patty because it actually has a nice composition of lentils, spices and a range of textures. The bun is vegan and tasted like a regular bun to me. The mushroom toast is decadent and a must order. Loads of shitake and other mixed mushrooms in a light creamy sauce. The mussels were huge and tender, one of the best in the city. Drop by during happy hour when all appies are 50% off and wine/beer is only $5. read more

Was looking for some fine dining and the restaurants we were looking for were all closed. We popped into this little gem and were not disappointed. The service was prompt and helpful. I had the duck and my date had the beef. The duck was amazing, maybe one if the best I've had. She thoroughly enjoyed the beef. The atmosphere was cool and rustic. Great martini, you could tell the bartender had been trained professionally. My only issue would be the wine selection. A wide variety but you have to pay for it. Other than that I couldn't find a thing wrong. read more

Inglewood area is a distinctive part of calgary and we came here looking for a suitable dining experience. We found it at Eden. Casual atmosphere, friendly service, good food. We had the mushroom toast and crab cakes as starters, then the pan fried sole and ratatouille for main course. The quantity was more than enough and the flavoring delightful. They have a simple menu and reasonable prices so you can focus on the company you're with and the quaint creaky floors that add to the Inglewood atmosphere. read more

The Eden - cars parked in front of a building - French Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Haven't been this impressed by a dinner service in a long time. Top-notch service, thoughtful menu selections, and fantastic food. The pork chop is massive, really lovely piece of meat cooked perfectly. More than enough to share for 2 people. The poutine sounded very interesting and I'm glad we got it - the sauce was unreal. Much different from your standard heavy, greasy poutine. I really enjoyed the salad - the different elements come together so well, especially the warm pieces of pork and the devilled eggs. Crispy almonds, too, which added a really nice texture. The owner also came out and chatted for a bit, super nice dude. This is approachable upscale food that hits the mark perfectly. Highly recommended. read more

I have eaten a lot of burgers in a lot of places, some of them quite notable, and this is BY FAR the best burger I have ever eaten. Also, there was a jazz trio. read more

Went there for a date and the food was really good, would definitely go back for the octopus pasta but it has a strong flavor so not for everyone. The price is definitely high, I don't think anywhere should be 50$ for a meal but it was really good. Would be 5 stars but just too expensive. read more

This place is so cool and very romantic ! The food is great for sharing. Loved everything I got. Right in trendy inglewood, easy to find

We had our wedding at this gem of a bistro 22 June. Rob, Nadine, Chef John along with their amazing staff provided the most memorable food and wonderful experience we could only dream about. They were fabulous! Alex and Clinton took great care of our guests. Thank you! We've been going to The Eden since they opened. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out. read more

Nice comfortable restaurant in Inglewood serving up some pretty good food. 4.5 stars. For appetizers we had the mussels and the poutine. Both were delicious and sizeable for being "small plates". The poutine uses the same sauce and meat from their beef bourginon entree dish. It is a meal in itself. The mussels were fresh and the Paris butter sauce was great to soak up with the bread accompaniment. For entrees we had the duck confit, beef bourginon, and the steak and frites. All were very tasty and again sizeable portions. You may want to adjust your appetizer selection given the size of the entrees and appetizers. So value wise it was very good and the service was superb. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will come back again. read more

Just found this restaurant by accident and had their lunch special (mussels with spicy tomato & chorizo, $15). Outstanding. I then opened this app to post my review and found it's the #1 rated restaurant on YELP in Inglewood. Lucky find. I'll be back! read more

Best burger with truffle mushrooms and the mussels were in a wicked creole butter sauce. You HAVE to check this place out!!!

Glad this spot is back open. It's been a date night staple. The menus are always really good and inventive but still accessible.

Menu selection (cocktail and main) is absolutely wonderful. Tried the burrata, the mussels, the frog legs, the steak tartare, the bistro salad, and a black rose cocktail, and all were fantastic. Service was great, music was not too loud, and the experience was overall wonderful. 10/10 recommend !!! read more

My good friend of many years was leaving Calgary, and a dinner treat a The Eden was in order. From the moment we sat a the table by the window the magic started to happen... a lovely Inglewood street scape view, to foiegras, so soft and creamy over the unique potato cake, a. mazing! to fresh tuna hamachi with a lively slaw of radish and jalepeno a. mazing and onto a very well prepared crispy duck confit, fork tender large piece of short rib with all the trimmings, yes, wild mushroom ragout...from the truly curated selections of wine we choose a red that took us through every delicious bite. Semi freddo for dessert, yep a. mazing. highly recommend a visit! thankyou chef and staff at The Eden, you made goodbye less difficult. read more

Amazing. Had the beef bourgignon, which was as good as I've had in Paris. Great service. We'll be back!

Wonderful- laid back vibe with good food and excellent service. I wanted everything on the menu!

This is definitely one of our favourite spots. The food is great, the staff is super friendly and the ambience is perfect!

I've been here maybe ten-ish times. I've never ordered the same meal but I haven't had a meal I didn't LOVE. In fact, the same always goes for everyone at the table. Pricing is always fair and the care the staff puts into the quality and service is a breath of fresh air read more

My boyfriend took me here on a date and it couldn't have been a better experience! A perfect combination of classy and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful ceiling and local art on the walls. We had their Caesar salad and poutine, a tasty twist on each of them. Service was excellent and prompt, the owners were in and made us feel very at home. I've never met a cheesecake I didn't like but their blue cheese cheesecake is to die for!! Will definitely be back here soon and recommending to all! read more
