I don't usually "review" restaurants, so this one must be special. Went to Revel Bistro and Bar tonight with a friend for a late birthday dinner. We wanted to try the gnocchi poutine (not on online menu). Since my friend is vegitarian, we asked for the duck confit on the side. When the server told the chef, he said, well it also has bacon in the cassoulet, so let me make a different sauce. It was so good! My entree was the shortrib. If there are shortribs on a menu my mind can't process anything else. It's not on the online menu so I can't double check what the sides were but let's just say they were so very yummy. "Co-diner" (as they say in reviews) had the roasted brussel sprout salad and said it was heavenly. For dessert we tried the olive oil cake (also not online) which was topped with chantilly cream (as the server said, a fancy way to say vanilla whipped cream) and sorbet. Not too sweet and delightfully different. Then they also brought out, as an extra for my birthday, housemade orange gummies served on a rock that looked like half a loaf of bread, florentines, pistachio nougat and truffles served in a glass container on a bed of cacao nibs with applewood smoke. That smoke is one of the best smells I've ever experienced in any restaurant. Thank you so much Revel for a wonderful meal for my belated birthday and for the special treats!
As first time dinners, my friends and I were thoroughly impressed by our experience. From the moment of our arrival to our last goodbye, we felt warmly welcomed by the outstanding staff. Despite having a later reservation time and being the last table to leave the dining room, the staff remained patient with us and our requests. To start our evening off, we enjoyed ourselves to their broad selection of Absinthe spirits. The drink itself was highly enjoyable and the fantastic presentation made the experience all the better. Followed by a variety of high quality beers and phenomenal share plates, my friends and I found pleasure in every bite. It’s worth noting that every item on the menu functions fantastically as a share plate, and the braised beef is a prime example of this. To cap it all off was a relatively inexpensive bill. Ultimately, I recommend Revel to anyone looking for a cool and classy establishment to visit with friends or family.
What a stellar place. Will be going back for sure. What a fantastic place, cocktails wow. And the dinner menu was insane. New menu launching next week so this will be an old menu but sounds delightful.
Been here a few times. Wonderful setting and enjoyable experience. Food is great for price point. Prices are a little high but you do get a good portion. Sourdough bread with brown butter. Bar is a exceptional beautiful spot. Only real issue is music played does not really fit ambiance of place. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Dinning area is romantic.
Awesome atmosphere and great food. We really enjoyed gnocchi poutine, part of LA Poutine Week. Also, clam and lamb was so delicious, even for someone that's not a big fan of lamb dishes. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try everything else on the menu.The staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu as well.
Overall great experience! We ate off of the lunch menu. Great portion sizes, prices and quality. Levi recommended the best vegetarian options for myself (I got the Mumbai sandwich) and my friend had the burger, which he said was amazing. Delicious cocktail selection as well! And the service was stellar. Thanks Levi!
The food at Revel made me realize what people mean when they say flavours burst in your mouth. The textures and flavour were a perfect balance. One of the best meals of my life.
The only reason it’s not a 5-star is because of the vibe of the restaurant. There wasn’t anything to it.
But I’d go back for the food any day.
Revel Bistro's pumpkin agnolotti is as delicious as it is beautiful. The sage browned butter sauce and toasted pumpkin seeds are the perfect bitter balance to the sweet bundles of roasted maple pumpkin agnolotti. There's nothing better than a dish with depth, balance, and beauty to leave a person satisfied both body and soul.
If you like an amazing mix of flavours brought together in an absolutely perfect dish, come to Revel. Holy freaking hell our meal was amazing. There’s no where else in Edmonton that can serve up flavour like Revel. We will be back for more!
