You can't beat the atmosphere here on a clear day. The restaurant revolves and so in the time of your meal, you will have revolved around. (The revolution takes about an hour). The inside is plain, but you don't need much for decor when you have the entire city to see. Service was excellent. They were prompt and helpful. They were particularly kind to my daughter who is disabled and treated her really warmly. So I am just commenting on the food for the Downtown dining menu, which might be slightly different than what you would experience on a daily basis. We loved the rolls with the herb oil. I am sure this come complementary with all dinners. We had the crispy shrimp mousse with apple mint salad and spiced fish sauce. This was excellent. Refreshing and flavourful, the perfect start to liven up the taste buds. For the main meal it was duck confit with plum, maple syrup, with angel hair pasta and the vegetable of the day. The duck was so soft and delectable. My only small issue was the pasta was fairly bland, so I could have had more of the plum/maple syrup sauce on it. Dessert was a passionfruit eclair with pistachio praline. This was delectable. This is a great place for a splurge meal.

Ladies, men and a family washroom. Open concept dining with a Window view from the dining to the kitchen, and on the other side a modern stylish bar. People started rolling in around 5:00pm for the dinner rush. Everyone i saw entering was seated promptly, quick. Do they serve alcohol? Yes! Do they accept reservations? Yes, and i recommend making a reservation on opentable. Do they offer any live music or entertainment? Multiple tv screens in the bar area; with one tv having that nice relaxing fire burning channel. Is the restaurant suitable for families, children, large groups? Yes! There is also a larger round table near the back of the dining for that larger group. The children had the Lil' Mike burger with fries. Their fries are delicious that is all that my youngest wanted to eat first. And my oldest only wanted to eat their Lil mike burger - i did not have to fight him to eat. I had the classic Mr. Mike burger and i actually finished it. The Perfect size burger! Lodge chips for starters was very delicious, the dip that comes with has a kick to it. So make sure you have a refill handy! Overall, love the elegant, fashionable compact restaurant.

Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse is a restaurant of legend in Edmonton. The flagship location was…read moreoriginally opened downtown by Oscar Lopez and Joao Dachery in 2011. Their entire concept took the city by storm and everyone sought the Pampa-induced meat sweats! The idea was to bring authentic, traditional Brazilian food to the heart of the Alberta prairies. I honestly can't think of a better fit - traditional Brazilian churrasco paired with Alberta's premium beef. Genius! Since then, Pampa opened two more locations in Edmonton, as well as one each in Calgary and Red Deer. The original downtown location has since closed but the others remain. (There was also a cafe downtown called A Bite of Brazil by Pampa which I loved that has also sadly closed.) Named Favourite Latin American Restaurant 2022 and 2023 in the Edmonton Journal, I myself hadn't paid them a visit in quite some time. Making my way to their Ellerslie Industrial location on a Saturday evening, I could only think of the parade of meats that awaited me. The south restaurant is situated in a huge, almost monolithic building, a veritable palace for all things churrasco - authentic Brazilian BBQ. This style of cooking dates back to the 17th century from Brazil's southernmost state located in the Pampa region - or the "prairies" of South America. Cattle herders from the area are known as Gaúchos and they historically used open-pit fires to cook meats on large skewers near the open flames. It's pretty easy to see the parallels and the perfect fit with our own celebrated beef culture in Alberta and Oscar Lopez and Joao Dachery knew this. Entering the restaurant, the space is expansive, modern, and there are nods to the Gaúcho way of life through the art and decor. There are multiple dining rooms, an entire wall made up of wine bottles, and there's a main area that contains the salad bar and the impressive rotisserie of spinning meats. It doesn't take long for the tantalizing aromas to seduce your senses. Gauchos (dressed appropriately) circulate the dining room carrying large, sword-like skewers of fire-roasted meat, ready to carve them tableside directly onto your plate. Seated at a circular table in the main dining area (salad bar adjacent), the anticipation was real! But first, a cocktail - and there is no better choice then a caipirinha - Brazil's national cocktail. Pampa offers seven different flavours and I chose the Cashew and Lime Caipirinha (Fresh fruits muddled with simple syrup and cachaça. Refreshing and vibrant - $13.00). This cocktail reminds me a little bit of a margarita but a lot more fruit-forward. I was really interested in the cashew aspect of the beverage and it truly did add a subtle and delicious nuttiness to the drink. The lime component felt incredibly classic, giving this drink a great balance of tart and sweet flavours. Very enjoyable and felt like a perfect refreshing match for the food. Pampa specializes in the concept of Rodízio which means "rotation" in Portuguese. This refers to the variety of meats that will be brought to your table and carved table-side endlessly. Each table is given a double-sided red and green coin which allows you to control the Rodízio service. (I could have sworn that in the past each guest was given their own coin, now it's just one for the table.) The green side means "GO!" and that you would like meat service. The red side means "stop" and that you are on a break or are finished. At dinnertime you can expect to see 14 different cuts of meat circulating the room. Also included in the experience is the unlimited self-service hot and cold salad bar. Dinner for 12 Years and Older costs $68.95. We turned our token to the green side and never looked back! The first order of business is naturally the salad bar. There is a huge selection of housemade salads, dressings, picklings, breads, and cheese. There are several hot dishes, including traditional Brazilian Feijoada (which I somehow missed and will have to try next time!). However, my tip is that you shouldn't overdo it with the salad bar because you're really there for the meats. Pacing yourself is the name of the game at Pampa, especially if you're aiming to try a little bit of everything. I made small piles of Salada de Churrasco (a beef penne salad), Pineapple Corn Salad, and Beterraba Assada (oven roasted beets) in an attempt to not get too crazy. Each salad was very fresh and I loved the smokiness and robust flavour that was front and center in the churrasco salad. This salad felt unique and like a good match to the overall experience. Certainly not a typical pasta salad! The pineapple corn salad was creamy and refreshing, almost like a palate cleanser, which was nice. One salad bar item that I don't recommend holding back on are the Pão de Queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread. They're my absolute favourite and no one makes them better than Pampa does! This small baked roll is crispy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. They are a complete d

Having thoroughly enjoyed our meals here on previous occasions, we were extremely surprised &…read moredisappointed at our last visit. The service was excellent, as always, but our two dinners were very sub-standard. My wife had her favourite, Risotto Of The Day. The texture & flavour of the Risotto didn't agree with her and chunks of the short ribs were way too "chewy/sinewy". She couldn't eat most of the ribs and left much of the risotto. I ordered the $46 Rib Eye steak which, at that price, one would expect to be very tender & delicious. It always has been in the past, but not so this evening. I ordered it medium but think it was under cooked. Regardless, it had lots of gristle, difficult to chew and not very flavourful. Having expressed my disappointment, to their credit, they cooked me another steak. I ordered this second steak medium-well and while it was certainly better than the first, still didn't meet the standard of what I expected and had experienced in the past. Despite no charge for either meal, my wife & I left very disappointed, wondering if we will ever return.
