Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Old Strathcona

Dining at La Ronde's rotating restaurant was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic views of the city were breathtaking, creating a stunning backdrop for our meal and photos.. The ambiance was very classy yet inviting, perfect for a special occasion for my wife and I .. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing our experience with their friendly service. As the restaurant rotating made every moment feel special. La Ronde is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in a remarkable setting!

Valentine's tasting menu was fantastic! The ocheshishak (rice) with duck hearts and livers is amazing and made in an incredibly savoury broth. We added the PEI oysters with strawberry mignonette which were fresh and silky smooth. The pipon (winter) salad is awesome and the grilled salmon with beet puree was perfectly prepared! The staff and owners were attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the perfect wine pairing for each course. The artwork and ambiance makes a perfect environment to enjoy Indigenous inspired dishes that are sourced primarily locally, but definitely nationally. Indigenous food is the original and best sustainable, nutritional, and tariff free sustenance for body and soul. Bernadette's is best!

Delicious food and always great service! The set Valentine’s Day menu was super tasty, but I do wish they gave slightly bigger portions of a couple of the dishes. Could’ve done with just a touch more pasta and arancini—overall didn’t leave hungry, but did still have room for a bit more. Chicken parm, strozzapreti, and grilled zucchini were fab!

Beautiful small restaurant allowing for an intimate dining experience. The menu encourages sharing plates. Enjoyed the bread & butter appetizer. And shared the sablefish and steak both prepared to perfection. If you want a quiet dinner in Edmonton check out Darling

Really nice experience for Christmas brunch, good food, friendly staff.
