XIX Terwillegar
5940 Mullen Way NW, Edmonton, AB T6R 0S9Nineteen is one of Edmonton’s latest additions to the local fine-dining scene. The décor has modern focal points (like sleek, artistic light fixtures) mixed with classic comforts (like leather cushioned booths). Imagine this space as a more refined cigar room, slightly masculine but with sophisticated touches, like captivating artwork and charming accent lighting. It’s the perfect place to feel hidden away, like you’re in an upscale grotto where the food really is the focus.
Characters Fine Dining
10257 105th Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 1E3Antiquated brick, warm, glossy wooden accents, a crackling fireplace – Characters truly does have, well … character. It was named one of the 50 most romantic restaurants in Canada, certainly not by coincidence. This is the place to come if you want an intimate, cozy, entrancing evening with someone you love in one of Edmonton’s most adored locations.
Wine Room
10525 Jasper Ave Nw, Bsmt, Edmonton, AB T5J 1Z4Walking into The Wine Room truly is like walking into a wine cellar from the early 1900s. The roof is designed to look like the inside of a wine barrel and the woodwork is simply stunning. You’ll also notice antique iron work and classy candle-lit booths. It feels like being taken back in time in the best possible way. From the soft jazz music that fills the air to the private ambiance, this is a hidden gem worth looking for.
Wildflower Grill
10009 107 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 1J1Chic is the first word that comes to mind to describe the atmosphere at the Wildflower Grill. It has a more feminine aura than many of the other options on this list. Sleek white booths and floral-focused pieces of art give it that special appeal of a “woman’s touch,” but it is balanced with earthy wooden walls and darker-toned carpets. The ultra-contemporary all-white bar top is a personal favourite. Such a stylish place to sip cocktails!
Woodwork Restaurant
10132 100 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0N8If you’re looking for hip hole-in-the-wall, Woodwork is your place. Picture the kind of narrow, modest eatery you’d expect to find in New York City, but with a fresh, cutting-edge look. Minamalist stools line the bar, floating shelves display a sea of spirits, and simple clear-cut design choices give the space uncluttered charisma. This is the kind of place that makes you feel more trendy simply by being there. Give it a try!
The Marc Restaurant
9940 106th Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5K 2N2The Marc is twice as nice when it comes to inviting atmospheres – once for its bright, intimate indoor space and twice for its coveted patio space in the heart of downtown. The crisp white walls adorned by long horizontal mirrors make the quaint space feel much larger, and the slim, elegant lighting fixtures give it an undeniable uptown flair. The Marc does all of the important things right without any of the needless embellishments. You’ll be impressed!
