Restaurants near Edmonton City Hall

We came early for our reservation and even though it was a very busy night due to the Oiler’s game, they did accommodate our group of four ahead of our reserved slot. Seating was not ideal but expected when you arrive almost a half hour early. The dining area is quite dark so all of us had to take our phones out and use the flashlight to read the menu. There is no feature menu or nightly special, so I recommend you peruse their menu ahead of time to narrow down your choices. The service was excellent and the food was good, Noise level is high so not great for conversation but if you are stopping by prior to attending an event in Rogers Arena, this is a great choice.

Always love this place before an Oilers game- great food- great beer and terrific ambiance!

When to Buco to enjoy a meal with a friend before an Oil Kings game. It was very busy as the Oilers game had just recently just ended. Our server was very much on the ball. Our water glasses were never empty and she cleared the table at the right time. Food was very good and enjoyed by the both of us. Will be returning.

Excellent service. The gentlemen that greeted us when we were a little early for our reservation , made no issue, and took us to our table. We seated next to the Christmas tree. It was a beautifully ambient table. Very authentic European dining atmosphere and flow. Marlon, forgive my recollection of the name, was an incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and personable waiter. Points of note were service, bacon wrapped figs, croquettes, bread service, and the grilled sardines paired with the Albariño… that really took me coastal.  Look forward to coming back.

Darling Wine Bar is, without a doubt, my favorite little gem! Last night, we switched it up from shareables to main dishes (though we couldn’t resist the PEI oysters—so fresh and delicious), and every bite was incredible. The ambiance was perfect as always, and my leadership group absolutely loved it. From the expertly curated wine selection to the attentive service and outstanding food, everything was flawless. Huge thanks to the owners ( <3 ) and staff for consistently delivering perfection—this place never misses!
