About the restaurant
Ernest's Dining Room at NAIT has been aptly described as the "jewel in the crown" of Hokanson Centre for Culinary Arts in the School of Skilled Trades. Ernest's decor is described as "understated elegance". Tasteful compliments of cherry wood and brass highlights, a beautiful rock feature wall, muted lighting and attention to detail provide the room with a distinct corporate ambience. Critically acclaimed and numerous accolades identify the "haute cuisine" prepared by second year Culinary Arts diploma students as "outstanding". OpenTable diners voted Ernest's top 100 in Canada for two consecutive years. Seasoned chef instructors emphasize the importance of using high quality local regional products. Mastery of traditional cookery combined with contemporary artistry has resulted in a truly electric cuisine. Elegant service is provided by eager Culinary and Hospitality students. An emphasis on etiquette and authenticity is encouraged through the guidance of professional mentors.Top review

About the restaurant
AT LA PATRONA, EVERYONE IS FAMILY & The food is Authentic Mexican Deliciousness
Chef Carlos grew up in Mexico City in a food culture as diverse and unique as any in the world. After leaving Mexico when he was 19, he spent many years working in kitchens across the US and discovering his passion for creating food that everyone can enjoy.
Hard work and dedication through his training at La Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute landed him a highly coveted gig at a Michelin-starred restaurant in California before he finally made his way to Canada.
In Edmonton, Chef Carlos and his business partner - Janette, started the Casa12Doce food truck. Set up for many years, Casa12Doce became not only a staple of the food truck scene but also of the community.
The delicious, authentic food created a following so loyal that when Chef Carlos and Janette decided to open a restaurant in 2016, it did not take long for the place to fill up regularly.

Owned and helmed by Chef Sergio Turlione, Rigoletto's delights diners with signature dishes like the Angel Hair Sergio, a delicate pasta seasoned with Cajun chicken, and the infamous Ribeye Steak in Honey Jalapeño sauce.

About the restaurant
Please don't judge this book by its cover. You’ll find our St. Albert location in a nondescript strip mall on one of St. Albert’s busiest streets. Step inside the doors and be transported to a bustling spot that’s become a gathering place for those seeking a downtown vibe in the ‘burbs. Enjoy our Spanish and Portuguese tapas cuisine without the long trek. We are your friendly Neighbourhood restaurant & kindly ask that guests observe a two hour dining experience on busy evenings so that we can give a great experience to as many of our valued patrons as we can.

About the restaurant
Original Joe's Edmonton - Terwillegar is a place that welcomes all adults. We have craveable classics, down-to-earth vibes, and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ's is located in one of Edmonton's most popular neighbourhoods since 2005. We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the development and growth of this community. You can take in a few rounds of golf at one of the nearby courses before stopping in for an OJ's meal, or visit the Edmonton Public Library. We have a dog-friendly patio in the summer so you can bring your fur babies along for a pint on a hot summer day. Being close to South Edmonton and the Currents of Windermere means there are plenty of retail options and entertainment. With quick access to Anthony Henday Drive, Whitemud Drive and the River Valley, we are in the heart of the community. Come in, grab a seat wherever you'd like and we'll take care of the rest!Top review
