It is a great place to share a bunch of items with friends. Two of my favourite things are the boar cheeks and the piri piri prawns. I also love the sardines but our friends weren't so eagar to have them. So what we ordered was a wonderful bottle of Portuguese wine, boar cheeks braised in red wine, topped with crispy onions, patatas bravas -fried potatoes, spicy aioli, piri piri prawns with piri piri aioli, robalo -European seabass fillet with olive oil, sea salt and lemon, and Spanish pork sausages with puttanesca mustard, baked Portuguese baguette and butter, and smoked duck carpaccio with truffle oil, arugula. Everything was delicous but the standout for sure was the seabass and the smoked duck carpaccio. I think that I should try a few new dishes each time I go. You will never know what will be your new favourites.

We visited Bodega, a cozy spot tucked into a small, family-oriented neighborhood. We went with our…read morefamily and some of the staff. Although we arrived a bit late, and the baby wasn't fully at ease, we were able to step in and out comfortably since the space is so intimate. I'd say it might not be the best place for a baby due to its size, but the food was outstanding. We tried a bit of everything: bore cheek, meatballs, calamari, Brussels sprouts, bone marrow, mussels, patatas bravas, and bacon-wrapped dates--each one a standout. For dessert, we couldn't resist and ordered the whole menu--every bite was delicious. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine that paired perfectly. Despite the baby's fuss, we thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant flavors, the warm atmosphere, and the attentive service. We'll definitely be back!

This menu is meant for sharing. We decided to split some dishes - the tuna crudo, the meatballs with grilled foccacia, and the cauliflower. There was some hits and some misses. The hits first - tuna crudo was great with fermented mango, coconut milk and sesame crackers. Fresh and exciting. The second one I loved was the meatballs. The sauce was amazing and meatballs were full of flavour. Make sure you order the bread to soak up all the sauce.These two I would totally recomend. The two that were disappointing was the cauliflower. It comes as a whole head and the idea is that you cut it into pieces. So the sauce doesn't really penetrate the cauliflower and the sauce was okay but seemed to berry forward. The pizza was worse. Barely any toppings except an obsene amount of arugla which didn't add anything to the dish. I had three peices and there was only two measly small peices of chicken. It also lacked flavour. Skip these. Saying that I would come here again to try some other things. But save your stomach and don't order the pizza.

So excited to see a Bodega so close to my house. This is one of my favourite restaurants. Not only…read moredo they have a unique and extensive wine list but they also have the best friendliest and knowledgeable staff, and such talented chefs! They have specials daily, so check their website for those. We went for wine Wednesday which is all wine for 1/2 price. They also have daily chef dishes so of course I ordered one of each to share. They were both absolutely divine!! I always like trying their chef specials because they are always delicious. Also all their tapas are absolutely worth trying too. If you're not sure which wine to try, ask the bartender to recommend something or your waitress to recommend a wine that will pair well with your meal. There are ample tables available and even a small patio outside as well. I highly recommend checking our Bodega if you're looking for a night out, date night, or dinner with your friends.

We are from south Edmonton so we don't get to St Albert very often. We decided to stop for lunch at…read morethis corner cafe in downtown St Albert. We were handed a brunch menu so it might be different on weekdays. My partner and I both ordered the Shakshouka mainly because it sounded so unique. I'm glad we did try that dish because it was unlike anything either of us has eaten before. It's a mix of bread, tomato sauce, eggs and other good things. Delicious! Service was friendly and prompt. We parked on the street nearby in the 2 hour zone. I don't know if they have their own parking out back. The washrooms seemed to be clean, and featured reusable washcloths instead of paper towels. Tryst definitely has guest WiFi that is password protected but I didn't try it out. If you are passing through St Albert I would definitely recommend Tryst for lunch or brunch.

I am very thankful because they held our table because we were half an hour late for our…read morereservation due to circumstances we couldn't help Small place, which is fine. i wish they would do their seeting better. For a place to enjoy wine and appy the seating is literarly a pain in the ass. The whole thing is to make a comfortable experience. It is hard to enjoy your flat bread when your ass is sore. Just get some decent chairs for crying out loud. However they insist that there is a time period for you to get in and get out. So maybe they make seating uncomfortable so you get going. That is why they loose one star. Food was lovely. Service was good. We each had a unique cocktail. This was well executed. Food was great. There wasn't a standout because everything was amazing. We ate a whole lot of things. Really loved the most simplest of dish which was the sourdough bread with whipped butter. It was lovely. The bread was chewy and had amazing texture. We also loved the ricotta gnocchi. It was pluffy and flavourful. The fish of the day was delicate and tender. Beef Carpaccio was tasty and interesting with lack of a better word waffle fries ontop. And the beef and cheese was rich. The only thing that we didn't love on the menu was the lamb flatbread. Too many pickled radish on top took away from the dish. However, I think anything you order here will make you happy. A little pricey but again it is a well saught after place. And much cheaper to other places that are in chains that won't give you the same experience. I would definately go here again. But make reservations. The place was jammed packed.

Assorted Sashimi 5 kinds - loved the variety but we didn't like the squid or octopus at all. Next time we will just focus on tuna and salmon. Sakura Roll: 8/10. Boyfriend have it a 10/10. Super Dynamite roll: 8/10. Great flavor but roll is too big and hard to eat without taking a too big of bite or making a mess. Garlic Salmon Fried Rice: 10/10, what a surprise! My favorite dish of the night by far. Flavor was so umami. Highly recommend. Kokuto Umeshu ice cream: 10/10 such a nice light sweet flavor over vanilla ice cream. Overall food was fantastic.
