I had friends in town and we decided to check out The Workshop Eatery and were so impressed! The food here is locally sourced and the menu does rotate depending on the season. The service is always great! Jordan, the manager, and Trina, our server, were so attentive! And we can't forget Harry the bartender. Our drinks were so good. Everyone made excellent recommendations and made the evening one to remember! The restaurant has ample parking. Handicap parking is in the back if needed. Come check it out in all the seasons. I know I'll be back for the next menu change! read more

Brought the family and extended family were in the city. Arrived after lunch but in time for brunch menu. Sat on the patio and it was a surprise heat wave and the umbrellas were still in storage. It's a hot one but oh so nice to be outside! Bring a hat and check the chairs before sitting in shorts! Served by Amanda today and she was impeccable. Knew exactly what we needed and when - water pitcher on the table and refills. Checked on us just enough to keep everyone looked after. The honey toast was the popular item at the table today ... loaded brioche with strawberries, syrup, and sweet topping. Everyone was pleased. Also a Juicy Lucifer - huge patty! Much squishing to fit in the toothy human. The chips were crisp and popular theft item at the table. We should have ordered an extra side serving! The celiac (me) has the special brunch item - croque madame with gf toast and hollandaise sauce and hash browns on the side! What a feast that was! Got a take-away to go. Gf bread is available to modify dishes that can be adapted. We had waters and lemonade to drink and the lemonade was really tasty! Would recommend. The photo of carpaccio was from our previous visit - not sure it's on the menu any longer but it was also fabulous! I might post a photo someone took of the honey toast if they share with me! read more

Brother got the Fried Chicken Waffle - no bones, loved it. Chicken was moist and great flavor. Waffle was very bland and needs syrup. Sister-in-law got the Reu-bano - said it was okay. I got the Wakey Wakey - was good, nothing really special. Boyfriend got the Chorizo Scramble hash - loved it. Classy place - nice brunch spot if your southside. Staff were great. read more

Really nice vibe inside. High ceilings with airy warehouse feel and high bright windows. Food is excellent and has variety. Servers were very pleasant. They have coffees and alcohol. Good for lunches. Free parking. They grow their own herbs and vegetables. Their Benny said 4 eggs but there are only 2 and the sweet onions were overpowering over the beef brisket. read more

The Workshop Eatery is not cheap, but it's not exoticly expensive either. Expect to pay $24 for a lunch item in 2024. It was busy when we arrived but we were seated immediately as there are lots of tables. The ambiant sound is under control which is really nice. We had no difficulty hearing each other (but I certainly wouldn't call it quiet either). They found the right noise balance. I ordered the Short Rib Grilled Cheese sandwich $23.00. It came with a good sized bowl of potato leak soup. This was a very filling meal so come hungry. My sandwich tasted very good although it seemed more like pulled pork than short ribs. My partner ordered the Ginger Chicken Bowl. I tasted the chicken from her dish and it was excellent. Our orders came fast but coffee refills did not arrive until our second attempt to flag down the server. Apparently the coffee was Americano so no refills. I recommend Workshop but, it's not perfect. I would have been happy with a smaller meal and drip coffee with refills. However the food is what counts and I can't complain about the quality. That's the most important thing isn't it. read more

Did not know this gem of a place existed so close to south side in Summerside. Their breakfast menu was pretty good. They had a special in mimosas for $8 on Sunday. Server Melissa was very nice and accommodating. One of my eggs didn't turn out like I wanted them to and she brought an extra one. It's massive restaurant with patio and bar seating. read more

The Workshop Eatery - Chorizo hash and lox Benedict - Canadian (New) Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Had dinner there a couple of days ago, the prices are outrageous for the portion size. a glass of wine $15.00, The food was just OK. I had some turnips on my plate, that you could not eat, they were so tough. Our servers were fantastic, very attentive. You could barely carry on a conversation because of the noise level, it is so loud in there with a group.. Ate there once, certainly won't be going back. read more

Really like the bike. Open concept creative kitchen. Ordered the burger with the house salad. Burger was juicy and full of great flavour. Salad will full of vibrant flavour. Fresh fresh fresh. Yes would come back. Wished I had known about the feature as I might have ordered it instead. Next time. On that note, the overall Service could be a bit better. Took longer than I would have guessed for the food, as it wasn't cracra busy at the shop. Another sidenote, my server never did ask how things were. Aside from that, the food flavour superseded the lack of service and timing. read more

Came here for my birthday brunch with some girlfriends and of course the food was fantastic! I ordered the scramble hash and it was so tasty and delicious!! All my friends also enjoyed their meals and the portion sizes were huge! Each dish is around $20-$25 but we definitely all had leftovers. My one friend said her omelette must have been 5 eggs cuz it was huge! I would recommend sharing a dish if you're like us and don't eat that much. Since it was my birthday, my friends ordered me a birthday dessert. It came to the table and they all sang to me which was sweet but then there was no candle for me to blow out!! And I never understand why they serve dessert with spoons instead of forks? Or maybe ask our preference cuz the spoon wasn't the best tool to tackle that brownie. I was really disappointed about not having a candle. :( My friends split my bill amongst them so not sure what the totals were. We also ordered 3 London fogs but what came were actually lattes which we had to send back to the kitchen. Our waitress also spilled water all over the table, thankfully it missed my phone! But not a big deal since she cleaned it up quite quickly. My water did go empty for a long period of time but I had other drinks so it was ok. I ordered an americano as well at the end of the meal and I'm not 100% sure what came was Americano or just regular coffee as if didn't taste as strong as espresso americano normally tastes. Anyways, I hope Workshop will invest in some candles for future birthday celebrations as it's just not the same without one. read more

We had a much better expereince than last time. Our server was amazing. Me and my friend split a bottle of wine. We had the smoked pickerel dip to start to share as well as the deviled eggs. I had the crusted pickerel while my friend had the salmon and we had the white chocolate creme brule for dessert. It is a nice enough restaurant. However the sitting isn't comfortable. And for a fine dining concept that seems to promote sharing of wine and plates, it certainly comfortable to sit in for any length of time. I would really change at least the chairs here. Menu is perfect. Enough for everyone but not too much to get ovewhelmed. Great wine, beer, and cocktail list. We had the most dreaded server pre-covid but this server was prompt, friendly and informative. Onto the food Smoked pickerel dip was tasty but perhaps a too bit runny and the everything bagel chips were the disappointment. Nothing like a bagel chip and flimsly fell apart when the dip was put ontop of it. Rice crackers would have held up better. CHANGE THIS. Also couldn't taste the pico de gallo even though it was ontop. Just give some sourdough bread or something. Or actual strong bagel chips that can withstand something more than a few molecules of dip. It isn't that hard to do and would make a big difference. I wouldn't order this again. Thankfully that was the low point of the evening. The deviled eggs were amazing. Interesting and full of flavour. Mustard and siracha was a good additions to these. They were perfectly whipped and I would for sure order this again. My Ontario pikerel was delicous. Perfectly cooked and the cornmeal crust was so nice and crispy. The corn and bacon risotto's richness paired so well with the clean fish. The chipolte pepper beurre blanc was a lovely addition. All and all a perfect dish. My friend was equally happy with her salmon. We both loved the creme brule. Lovely richness and well done. Price point is high. Food for sure is worth it. Not sure if dining area is. read more

Celebrated the Mother's Day last month with a hearty brunch at Workshop Eatery! It was our first time trying out their brunch menu as the last time we were here, we tried their dinner & it was sooo good! We had the Wakey Wakey Eggs N' Bacey, Lox Benny & Workshop Reu-Bano. We all enjoyed what we had esp the bacon, ham, lox benny, reu-bano sandwich, chips & jam (for dipping or spreading)! The only thing I think they could improve on is their potato hash & scrambled eggs as they both lacked flavor. I had to sprinkle a lot of salt on both or add ketchup (unless it's meant to be that way for customers to do it on their own). It could be just a one time thing. This won't stop me from going back at Workshop Eatery though but will probably try the lunch menu next time. The service was a delight. The server who assisted was very attentive & accommodating to our requests. Nice service over-all. The over-all ambiance was pleasant. The place was booked up that morning when we went & everyone was well attended for. read more

This was my first time dining at the Workshop. The only reason I have yet to eat here is due to its location. It's slightly out of the way, but well worth the drive. I had the Effing seafood special. Today it was a monkfish on a lentil stew and it was delicious. I've never had monkfish before but this was a very good first experience. I was at this restaurant with a larger party, and the server was great and very on top of things. The food came out in a timely manner and everybody enjoyed their meals. The space is beautiful and very well lit. I enjoyed the big windows and the warm atmosphere. Overall, I had a very good first experience at this restaurant, and it will not be my last. read more

Attended a work dinner at the Workshop last night. The food was delicious (seriously try the short ribs!!) and the cocktails were on par. Our servers, Jill & Trina (I think I got that right) were phenomenal. The food was prompt and our drinks were bottomless. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job taking care of us! I will be recommending this restaurant to my friends on any night those ladies are working! read more

I've only been to Workshop Eatery twice, but omg I hope to come back way more. Although I've only been here twice, this is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Edmonton. The first time that I was here it was for a work lunch. The second was for a wedding! Both times I have been blown away by the food and service. Their prices are so good for the high quality food that you are getting. Their menu also changes seasonally so you will never get bored. I love everything about this place. High quality food with a casual vibe is right up my alley. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. I'm from Calgary and bookmarked this restaurant a year ago. It's located in the Deep South of Edmonton. The service was great and they wanted to make it right if they made an error. We ordered 2 salads and the duelling duck entree to share. All 3 dishes were yummy. I also ordered their lemon meringue drop for dessert. However, honestly wasn't a fan. It tasted like a very sweet lemon curd and jam pudding. It was missing something to crunch on such as a cookie or a cake. The meringue they added wasn't sufficient enough bc it was a very small bite size meringue. Therefore, obviously you won't come to Workshop for their dessert. The decor is very nice and a great atmosphere. Will definitely come again the next time I'm in town. read more

So this place has been on my list for a very long time and I finally had the opportunity to try it out for my return from a deployment. I wanna start off by saying this restaurant is so amazing, the atmosphere and the way it looks is so beautiful, I love the kitchen and how cozy it really looks inside, the service was up to par our server was actually really really nice and even explained what was in the dish and recommended some good dishes to try, we started with the mussels and the capaccio, the mussels were very very good and a good quantity, the carpaccio wasn't a hit for us it just didn't taste the same and the mushrooms had to strong of a fermented taste which didn't hit but being Italians we have high expectation for it, for Mains we had the slow cooked beef, the lentil stew and the taquitos, the slow cooked I had a very high expectation because the server said it was one of the top things and I can't lie I was fairly disappointed with it (maybe is having a high expectation) the meat wasn't very soft and It felt more tough than what I've had in a different restaurant and the sauce that it comes in the bottom I wish it had more of it specially on top of the beef to give it a extra sweetness flavor to it, the stew was good but we felt like it was missing the coconut flavor on it and the lentils were cold but the inside was very hot so it was confusing, the taquitos were very good though my dad seemed to really enjoy it, we finished up with the apple crisp with ice cream and sadly it wasn't a hit, and I love dessert specially because we don't get sweets in the army, the inside of the pastry wasn't cooked and it felt like it was more dough than a apple crisp, the server was really nice and removed it off our bill which was very nice of her, over all I think we had very high expectations and Maybe it went this way, I do hope to give it a second try to maybe see things differently and definitely change this review. read more

Lovely building and the staff were very warm and welcoming. Our waitress recommended the arancini which we had never had and it was incredible!! The aioli underneath was to die for! Seriously!! For our main we shared the smoked beef short rib which came on a bed of kale with confit potatoes and mushrooms. Felt like it was lacking some sauce, especially since the meat was fairly dry. It would be a better dish if it was braised as I honestly did not taste much smoke flavour anyways. Braising the ribs would have yielded a much more tender and moist dish. Besides that, everything was cooked to perfection, and the juices we ordered were nice! read more

I always hear amazing things about this place but it just didn't hit the spot for me and friends. We started with wine which is always a good idea but our server was completely absent. Our appetizer was dropped off by another staff member and they took off so fast we couldn't even ask for more wine. It took us til dinner time to get another drink. I found the greenhouse wedge nothing exciting, quite boring to be honest. We all went with the token steak which the brussel sprouts were great but the chorizo tater tots were kind of cold and not up our alley. The steak was tough and chewy. It just did not feel like a $43 item. The crème brûlée was great but overall it was super meh. I can't say I would rush back here anytime soon. read more

Made a reservation for 5pm on a Wednesday for an early dinner, the first one out postpartum and post Covid lockdown. By 6pm the restaurant was full which speaks to the popularity of this establishment. So glad Workshop Eatery was the restaurant to break our dining out fast. I was meeting up with a friend from out of town, both of us vegetarians. We were pleasantly surprised by the array of plant based options on the menu. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and left with full bellies and full hearts. It is evident the care that goes into preparing the food. Everything was plated beautifully and seasoned to perfection. Noteable was the Peas & Carrots ($32), gnocchi with roasted garden carrots, carrot puree, fresh shelled peas and pea shoots. The Flourless Chocolate Cake ($12) was also delicious. It is served with a sesame gelato *chef's kiss* Our server was the perfect balance of engaged and hands off, allowing us to enjoy our food without feeling bothered as can happen in other fine dining establishments. The ambience is light, airy, and gives off the impression that everyone is welcome. Menus are seasonal and I look forward to coming again to try more of the chef's creations in the fall/winter. read more

My friend invited me here for a weekend brunch. This place is very asthetic with large glass windows, wooden decor and a hipster vibe. This would be a convienent place to go to if you live on the south side of Edmonton. My friend ordered the Wakey Wakey Eggs N' Bacey and I ordered the Just Duckey Omelette. For dessert, we ordered the classic creme caramel to share. Food was delicious and I loved the unique names they gave the menu items. Dessert was tasty and the Saskatoon berries was a nice touch. This place aims on using local ingredients so the food is top quality. The only bad thing I can say is that the service was quite slow. The food took long to make which I assume was becuase they wanted to perfect the dish. However when we asked for the bill, it didn't come until 20 minutes later. This place was pretty busy when we arrived but 20 mins for a bill seems a bit unreasonable. Maybe I came here on an off day? read more

Food is always tasty. Service can be a touch slow sometimes. However , be patient. It's worth it! Drinks are always kind of funky too.

Great restaurant! Recommend it highly to anyone local and visiting. I've started stopping by there almost every time I find myself in Canada. Menu constantly changes and from what I understand so do the chefs, I guess it's like a teaching restaurant of some sort. It's a great experience! One thing - they ran out of Bumbu and haven't stocked any back. Need to get some! read more

We've been wanting to try this place, waiting for a special occasion. My husband and I went to Workshop for my birthday last week and it lived up to every awesome thing I had read. Met every expectation. My husband likes to order everything, forgetting we can come back. ;) Started with the Workshop Pickle Jar, Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Arancini. Pickle jar was delicious.. we liked different items. He ate all the beets and mushrooms, I ate the cauliflower and onions. The brussels sprouts may have been the best part of the meal. Huge plate with sriracha sour cream. It tastes insane! HIGHLY recommend. The Arancini was a French onion flavour and it was also incredible. I could have eaten another plate if we were only doing appetizers. Husband had the Nonay Cut; his beef was cooked perfectly (medium) and wrapped in bacon. Veggies were perfectly cooked. I had the Chicken.. skin was crispy and the inside moist. So good! I asked for an alternative to the mushroom risotto (mushrooms are my enemy) and they made the risotto without. Very pleased! Server was pleasant, knew the menu and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. We will 100% go back. If you're going on the weekend, consider reservations. We went on a Monday and it was pretty chill. Prices are what you would expect for this type of restaurant. Restaurant is located through the doors of the main building to the left. read more

First, make a reservation. This place was absolutely packed on a Sunday morning on the southern outskirts of Edmonton. We had a small wait. But staff was very pleasant and offered us some water. We ordered the just ducky omelette and the wakey breakfast. Both were exceptional. All the meats are locally sourced, and were full of flavour. The potatoes were fried with peppers and onions giving them a unique taste for the normal breakfast side, although slightly salty for my preference. Homemade strawberry jam and ketchup were just a bonus. Lavender lemonade was good, but nothing special. Price may be prohibitive to some; expect $40-$50 for two people for breakfast. read more

The Workshop Eatery - Just Ducky Omelette - Canadian (New) Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

When they can nit be fully open, they are operating as "the henhouse" and are acting as a smokehouse for take out and patio. We had brisket, pulled pork, tatertots, bacon creamed corn, and the corn bread. Everything was great. The corn was the standout as it is a very original dish. The tateetots were good too. The description was a bit misleading. They are not at all like the famous tots from the freezer aisle. They are mashed potatoes in a ball and deep fried. The s.oked meat we had was extremely good too. The pulled pork was good and we ordered it as I saw it comes from Irving Farms. I buy Irving farms bacon and sausage from the farmers market all the time so it was great to see them mentioned on the menu. We can't wait to go back when they are fully operational read more

Ambiance is nice. Causal and social. Service was great and the food was a hit and a miss. I loved the Brussels sprouts. They were packed with flavour. I had the salmon for my main and even though all components of the meal were cooked perfectly, it lacked flavour. I will go back and try again....def for the Brussel Sprouts!! So so good. read more

Workshop Eatery is doing a concept called "The Henhouse" while they are closed for pick-up/delivery only - and it is a nice option to have BBQ available to those of us living in the Deep South......of Edmonton. Tonight we ordered Buttermilk Fried Chicken - well seasoned and crispy. BBQ Pulled Pork - melt in your mouth tangy and sweet, and the Beef Brisket - great smoky flavour, for our proteins. For sides, we had the Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Ancho Bacon Creamed Corn and Pimiento Mac n' Cheese. Everything had a ton of flavour, and we have lots of leftovers for another meal. read more

Located in the south side and really close to my home. I decided to give this try a place after reading good reviews from Yelp. I went in the afternoon around 2 pm and it was not really busy. I did not want to try main course so i went for small plates: Arancini: These deep fried italian stuffed with rice balls and chicken, coated with bread crumbs and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese. Ask your server for creation of the day. I don't remember the stuffing on that day, but i have mixed review about it. I paired my dish with lemonade on a hot summer day.

Made reservations for brunch for 10:15am. When we got there, there were only 4 other people dining. By the time we left at 11, the place was packed. The server was nice enough. Weirdly though they don't have ice tea as a drink option. The food was good. Not quite as good as say OEB or little lot dinner in Calgary though. The portion sizes were a little small compared to the prices (My plate was mostly potatoes and corn bread). The atmosphere was nice but my boyfriend and I are definitely not hipsters and we felt slightly out of place hahaha. We also found is kind of pretentious that on their site, they ask that you leave their creations as they were meant to be made. So basically don't ask for changes to the food because your tastes aren't better than theirs Because of the portion size/price and that notice on their site, I docked 1 star. read more

If you plan to eat here on a weekend, definitely make reservations in advance or call ahead to check the wait times. I came around lunch hour on Sunday with friends without reservations and we had the option of waiting an hour for seats...hard pass. However, if you opt to come on a weekday, you can pretty much be guaranteed quick seating without reservations. I ended up going for lunch on Monday with a friend. Our server was pretty nice there & filled our water glasses multiple times without prompting. The restaurant touts itself as one that takes extra care & time to prepare a meal, but I didn't find that to be the case. I think we were served fairly quickly, about 15 min or less for food to come to our table after ordering. Between the two of us, we had the appetizer arancini, Brussel sprouts, and 2 orders of small plate of tacos that came with salad or soup or kettle chips. It's actually a lot of food! The soup I had hits the spot on a cold winter day, but the salad my friend got looked so good, that I almost wanted to order one too! We needed to pack food as leftovers. I think on this visit, the brussel sprouts and tacos were a touch too salty, although it everything was very flavourful and went well together. I wish I had room to eat dessert after too! I am interested in making a return visit because I hear the menu is constantly changing and that they forage from their own garden for ingredients in summer. Plus, they have colourings pages and crayons available which hints off that I should bring the kids too! read more

Came here for brunch because of their rating on Yelp. A new place in Edmonton SS! This place is pretty cool in my books. They source locally where they can and they have a garden that they'll use for their own! I think that's awesome! We came for the eggs Benny because we love eggs Benny. My recommendation is you have to come here to try them. They were very tasty! The sauce had a good amt of lemon flavour, which is key for me and the English muffins toasted perfectly. They came with a healthy amt of roasted potatoes and they were good but for me the meal would have been perfect if they would have given half the amt of potatoes and provide some fruit instead read more

This is a dinner review. Not a lunch or brunch. Dinner began with cocktails. I ordered the "Aviation" it was my mistake not realizing the "Violeta" made the drink taste like what I would assume was my grandmothers potpourri. This is not a flavour I like, but in all fairness, I did see others doubling down after 1 to have more. I offered to pay for the drink that I could not consume and it was taken off the bill at the end of the night. This is greatly appreciated even though not expected. You need to like floral flavour to like this drink. Appetizer's of Burrata which was OK.. not great but OK.. I have had lots of Burrata where the accompaniment was more that an afterthought of tomatoes, pesto and candied bacon (bacon was not "candied").. the mussels were way overdone so they were shrink and dry. They were steamed in a basic wine sauce which needs a little elevation. Would have been much better if not overdone. The Butchers Cut of Skirt steak "medium to medium rare" with deep fried oyster mushrooms. The skirt was served well (grey to maybe a couple medium pieces. The sauce was sweet... a chimichuri would have been a far better selection vs a sweet cream sauce. The oyster mushrooms were battered in a heavy batter and cooked until there was a leathery mushroom inside. A proper cooked skirt with a gently sautéed oyster mushroom in some butter, garlic and thyme side would go far... and did I mention chimichurri.... Or anything but a sweet creamy sauce. If you still want to batter and deep fry a beautiful oyster mushroom, maybe a light tempura batter and don't cook it down to leather with batter that explodes on impact with the fork. The smoked short rib was flavourful and no complaints... but you are not getting a fall apart braised short rib so just keep that in mind.. we would order this again. The service was great with no complaints. Don't overcook mussels, serve the steak with pink and save the oyster mushroom and I'm back. read more
