About the restaurant

Aalto’s inspiration runs deep. From Pyramid Lake’s shimmering waters to the sky-scraping peaks that tower above, we’ve translated our neighbouring natural wonders onto our menu. The result is what we call “lake-food” — a homegrown interpretation of seafood that spotlights Jasper’s finest regional flavours.

Riverside Bistro-Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton is very commendable to all who want to eat a decent and delicious food with a beautiful scenery of Edmonton Downtown. My wife and I was very happy and very satisfied to celebrate her birthday. The crew are also nice, kind. We would probably come again but this time with family and friends.
