Old Strathcona Restaurants

Food was good, there was a bit of a wait for it to come out, however that is understandable seeing there was a large dinner crowd.

A cool, fancy, little “hole in the wall” restaurant with great ambience, wonderful service, and punchy flavours. The food was great, very creative and very well-seasoned with bold and interesting flavour profiles. We sat at the bar and our server Jess was knowledgeable and friendly, helping us with some suggestions for dishes and attentive to our drinks and each of our “first bites” to ensure we were happy. One of the best carpaccios we have had in the city so far, the linguine is a must, sablefish was cooked perfectly, and the anchovy toast was an umami flavour bomb (don’t be scared of this one- GET IT)! We also tried the croquette, and fennel salad which were both also very punchy and creative. Would highly recommend Darling if you like bold, creative dishes with a contemporary Canadian framework.

I love going here for lunch or dinner. The FOH staff is always on point and attentive. It makes being there so enjoyable. The BOH staff is so consistent with the food, you are never going to get something wrong. My fave Earls in Alberta. Dawn

We made a reservation for 6 and were delighted to be seated in the more private dining area. All the waiting staff are pleasant and attentive but we never felt rushed as we were catching up with old friends. Food and coffee/lattes/ cappuccinos were top notch as always. Our favourite place for brunch in Edmonton ❤️❤️

What a wonderful experience! This was our first time at Sabor and I can't say enough about the quality of the food or the expert wait staff. Our waiter took great pride in guiding us through the menu and in assisting us to making selections that best met our interests. When the food arrived, we were treated to a glorious culinary adventure befitting this wonderful restaurant. If you haven't been, go, you will not be disappointed. The tenderloin and the Halibut & Shrimp dishes were particularly worth the visit. It was clear to us that the people who work for Sabor are very proud of their establishment and went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our time at Sabor. For example, despite how busy the restaurant was this evening, another waiter took us on a quick tour of the restaurant simply because we had shown interest in seeing more of the beautiful decor.The atmosphere felt like we were in a divine home in Portugal being treated by friends to a home-cooked and locally-sourced delectable meal. This is a must visit in Edmonton!
