Celebrated my in-law's birthday at Normand's and it was excellent from the beginning to the end. Although the interior of the restaurant was a bit too old and my husband and I were a little worried about the quality of the restaurant at first for that reason, the food and service were above and beyond. The server who took our reservation ensured that we would get a nice table, and actually took care of our table on the day of our reservation. He was professional and had a great sense of humour! We couldn't stop laughing every time he checked on our table or came to serve our food. The dishes we ordered were well-balanced and flavourful. The birthday dessert was on the house and served with a candle and a Happy Birthday message. The server also took a picture of us with their phone and printed it on the spot. Thanks to Normand's for the unforgettable service and special memories!
I was impressed by the quality of the service especially to find out that Normand himself serving my table!!! He was absolutely amazing, the timing of serving the food and the way they care about every small detail to make you comfortable and happy.
Regarding food, it was delicious and something new I tried. Their menu has a lot of good options and I highly recommend their seafood selection.
I would definitely come back and great job!
I would recommend this location
I haven't been to Normand's for over 15 years. I pass by it almost weekly. Back in the day, Edmonton has a handful of higher end dining establishments of which thus Jasper Avenue haunt was one of them. The last decade especially has seen a boom in Edmonton in dining establishments that offer contemporary and fusion cuisine from all over the globe. As such, it's becoming harder to find top end restaurants that do meat, potatoes and veggies the old fashioned way...simply but with some extravagance.
I was told Normand's has been serving edmontonians for over 30 years. They must be doing something right in a very hard food industry to still be standing the test of time.
The location is the same as is most of the decor. You know you're visiting an old friend when you step through the front doors. You can feel the vibe...history and tradition.
The food is exactly as I described....extravagant and timeless. The service was so engagingly wonderful. I gave it five stars because Normand's knows what they do, they stick to their lane and they do it very well.
