    I’ve been to the original Continental Treat on Whyte Avenue a few times, and have always enjoyed the experience there. We’ve now come to the Jasper Avenue location on two separate occasions, and both times the experience hasn’t quite lived up to our expectations. The menu has a lot of great European-style choices, and the cocktail, beer and wine list are also quite varied. Unfortunately what you receive isn’t always what you expect. For example, the Spaetzle was more like a linguine noodle, and clearly not home made. The Pork Schnitzel was ok, but a bit dry and not a huge portion. Potato salad was decent. The Caramel Old Fashioned was cloudy and watery, and the red Sangria was also not very fruity and was also a bit watery. That all being said, the service was decent and the atmosphere is well enough. It’s a decent place to try out, but don’t expect to be wowed by the food or the atmosphere.

    Hello, Thank you for your honest feedback and continued support. While we’re sorry your Jasper Ave experience didn’t meet expectations, we want to clarify that everything on our menu is made in-house — from our pierogies, spätzle, and schnitzels to our fresh-baked breads, bagels, pastries, and cakes (wedding and birthday). These are handcrafted daily using family recipes and old-world techniques. Your comments are appreciated and shared with our team, and we hope to welcome you back for the true Continental Treat experience. Warmly, Sylvester Borowka

    We came for Saturday morning brunch to hear the jazz playing. I had the eggs Benny with salmon. Nice dish, but I would have preferred an English muffin to the toast it came with. We had excellent service- professional and attentive. Beautiful restaurant where the old hardware grill was.

    It’s wonderful to enjoy a restaurant with a unique menu and being fully certified gluten free for our family’s needs is amazing. Delicious to say the least…..and the service from our waitress Alanna was exceptional. Having live music was a great addition to add to the ambiance. We will be going back soon.
