    Like sitting inside a barrel
    Cyn D.

    Think Cask of Amontillado, as the setting. Add a fabulous wine selection and a picturesque charcuterie assortment. Cheeses, meats, nuts, crackers, breads, fruits, and pickled things. It's dark, it's intimate and delicious. The service is personal, knowledgeable and interactive but not intrusive. We went after work and indulged but now that we've been we would go back for a date. It's romantic, tasty and beautiful. I have no "buts" or "howevers" to include in this review. The only qualifier is price, it's expensive so we couldn't go all the time but we will go again and again for a treat.

    Charcuterie board at the wine room! Yum
    Tracey S.

    Stopped in with my sister for some cheese and wine. First off, this place is hard to find. It's actually located in the pub ( can't remember the exact name but it as pub in the title). U have to walk through the pub to get to The Wine Room. Once there though it's a pretty cool little place. Looks like the inside of a wine barrel! Service was great! It's a little pricy but the wine choices are a plenty. We had a charcuterie board with 2 choices of cheese. It was big enough with a pretty big slice of cheese. It had these tasty roasted almonds as well (yum). If u like cool decor and a dark secret corner to have some nice wine, this is the place for you. It's rather fun so check it out.

    Charcuterie with bunderflesh & sopressetta
    Monica I.

    Greeted and were queried if we had a reservation. Without a reservation we were offered the choice of the front bar, or one of the several tables at the front of the establishment. We selected the hightop for 2. As the night progressed, there wasn't a lot of room for our food trays, but it worked. Presented with an iPad on arrival, we navigated the wine menu, cheese, charcuterie and small plates. We did find the menu frustrating that there was no indication in the User Interface when we had reached the end of a list, and couldn't find dishes we had seen. When we were done, we did find the search and that may have helped us. Gluten free... yes, they have crackers, but not entirely certain of ingredients of the charcuterie. Apparently some come with no labels? Apparently the restaurant seats 40+, and is a lovely decor with an Enomatic system with 24 bottles on tap, white and red. Served and priced by the ounce, you can select your serving size. We found 6 oz. to be perfect for our evening. We ordered the warm goat cheese with proscuitto and basil. It arrived with breads, gluten free crackers and fruits. Next, we ordered a charcuterie board with the bunderfleish, and sopressetta. It arrived with a large variety of nuts, grapes, berries, fruits, beautiful figs, more gluten free crackers and variety of breads for my companion. The sopressetta was sliced a bit thick for enjoyment without cutlery, but we managed to eat it all. The bunderfleish was perfect - we could have enjoyed a double order of that alone. We did find the music to be unique, however overwhelmingly loud as our evening went on. Atmosphere was a little dark, the novel Edison bulbs providing lighting. The curved roof in the rear mimicking the barrel effect was quite interesting. The counter tops were beautifully finished made of wine crates, and the standing bar made of barrels. Without a reservation, it seems seating is restricted to the front of the room.

    Charcuterie Platter: Triple Cream Brie, Bluebry, Wild Muskox
    Cara P.

    I am always on the hunt for the best charcuterie in town and I had a friend recommend this place to me after she found it by accident one day while hunting for a drink on Jasper Ave. This by far was one the best executed charcuterie platters that I have had in YEG to date. It is located next to Pub 1905 and is easily missed as the door is actually inside the same entryway as 1905. They do not have traditional hard copy menus here, it is all loaded on to a iPad that allows you to scroll through the choices of wine and charc by variety (Reds, Whites, Soft, Semi-Soft etc.) The system that they use to pour the wine is an air tight delivery so you are able to order samples of any bottle you like by the oz.! I tried an amazing Zinfandel that's name escapes me as I sampled quite a lot... but it was our servers favorite so I am sure he will recommend it again. The décor is amazing and you feel like you are walking into a castle's private cellar as soon as you walk through the door. The ceiling looks like the interior of a wine barrel and took months to complete according to the owner who was very friendly and actually assembled our platter for us. The bar is also very unique with a base of wine barrels and a top that looks like a massive wooden Salvador Dali puzzle. I ordered the triple cream brie, bluebry (a mix of blue cheese and brie) with the wild muskox. (See photo) The platter came with two separate knives; one for my self and one for my partner which is usually one of my biggest pet peeves at other restaurants. I greatly dislike having to share one knife amongst two to three people and mix all of the flavors of the platter together. The brie was as brie should be rich, creamy and velvety in texture but the portion that we were served was very generous compared to others in the city. The Bluebry was a recommendation of our server as I am currently attempting to get on the blue cheese train but often can't handle it on its own. The brie took the edge off and lent a creaminess that complemented the blue perfectly. The wild muskox was absolutely amazing and the star of the platter in my opinion. It was perfectly cured and had a hint of lemony freshness to it. The portion seemed gargantuan as it easily could have been 200 grams and was shaved just the way I like it, velum thin. I had never had muskox before but it had a flavor all to its own that I woke up craving the next day. The vessels chosen to deliver these delights to our palettes were perfectly paired as well. I have been to some establishments that serve their charc on Breton crackers which makes my soul die. Not here though. There was ample fresh baguette, mustard pretzels and a bread crisp that had dried fruit and seeds that matched perfectly. It is a rare occasion that you do not run out of bread and other carriers before you are finished the rest of the platter. Also strewn throughout the platter were roasted nuts, blackberries, figs, miniature grapes and raspberries they helped cut the creaminess perfectly. I only wish that they were open more, they are currently closed Sunday - Tuesday as they just opened in August. I hope that with more regular visits from myself and the rest of Edmonton those hours will extend. For two 1 oz samples, 4 glasses and one platter the total bill for two came to approximately $87.00 plus tip. Very reasonable considering the quality and quantity. There were more cost effective options available for someone on a budget though, we just decided to indulge. I will definitely becoming back here often and hope to see them flourish.

    What a pleasant surprise! Moving from Northern California I assumed this would not be up to par, but it was really enjoyable. The charcuterie board was amazing! The owners took care to provide knowledge on an iPad at your table regarding every single item they serve. It seems quirky to walk into a dim lit faux cellar but once you settle in it's a great experience.

    What a great little gem! I came here last Thursday with a date for drinks and appetizers. You could easily miss it when walking by since the signage isn't very noticeable. It shares the main entrance to Pub 1905. Instead of heading straight, turn left and you will see a grand medieval wooden door which leads you to the wine room. The establishment has an old European feel with a fusion of modern and medieval decor. It is quite dark, maybe a bit too dark for my liking but the soft lighting does create a romantic and cozy mood. Be prepared to spend your moola here as it is not cheap. You can order bottles of wine that range anywhere from $60 to $1300! Or you can sample various enomatic wines anywhere from $3.00 to $10.25 per ounce. We decided to sample a white and red wine. I tried the Waimea Viognier Nelson which is a light fruity white wine and the light velvet red Valpolicella from Veneto, Italy. Both were lovely. We ordered a charcuterie board choosing 2 cheeses and a meat to eat with our wine. Our server recommended the firm cheeses to eat with our red wine so we chose the Cantonnier which was a creamy, medium-strong cheese from Quebec. It really paired well with the Valpolicella. The other cheese we selected was the Manchego cheese from Spain. I felt that the wine really brought out the earthiness of this cheese. It wasn't my favourite but still delicious. And for the meat we chose the Barolo Wine & Peppercorn Salami. It was also very tasty and a good addition to the cheeses. The charcuterie board itself was a display of art. You had tons of crackers, breads, nuts, dates, grapes, olives and peppers to sink your teeth into in addition to the meat and cheeses. My only complaint is that the portion of cheese we received was on the small side. Service was ok. Our server didn't check on us regularly but he did offer us a free sample of wine to end our evening with and that gave him some bonus points in my mind. All in all a very enjoyable evening. I will say that this isn't a place that I would come to regularly. However, it is a great place to come to and treat yourself every once in a while.

    Cheese tray!!! All i can say is wow!!!! 5 star realy!

    Gorgeous room!! Nice to see a little investment in decor and ambiance!! Snowy cold night,why is this place not packed! Warm brick and wood. A nice cheese and charcuterie menu.(please add olives/pate). This room Would kick if It's full!

    Make your own charcuterie board! All ingredients so fresh!
    Brittany N.

    What a great experience. Love the decor, love the use of iPads to explain all the wine, cheese, meats and appetizers! Tried two different wines which were both delicious...Had a charcuterie board with two cheeses and two meats, and tons of fresh fruits and warm breads and crackers! I loved the variety of the board and the fact that they gave us separate plates/cutlery! So much easier to share. We were both full afterwards because the board was so much more than just cheese/meats. The waiter was very helpful and polite as well. I would recommend this little place for a nice date night or a girls night with a few friends! It's great because you can order the wines in any amount of ounces so you can try a few different kinds without having to fully commit to a glass or bottle :) I will be back!!

    A friend and I went to the wine room. You order wine by the ounce so you get to sample a few varieties. You order off an iPad with a server. Once you've tried a wine you can decide if you want to order a whole bottle. Every wine that was on the menu wasn't one that I have heard of or tried before. Per ounce of wine it costs between $1.50 to $3.50 on average. The charcuterie board was the most impressive part of the experience. For two people it was $22 for cheese and $22 for meats. It is a little overwhelming to try and choose the meats and cheeses for your board on your own so you can ask your server to bring out the "in house expert" and she will help you decide and custom build the charcuterie for you. We loved the whole board and it was MORE than filling. We were stuffed to the brim after. The in house made honey sausage was TO DIE FOR. It melts in your mouth. As we stated, it was "orgasmic".

    Goat cheese infused prosciutto and basil, so yummy...

Most people in the city are familiar with Sabor, Edmonton's legendary Spanish and Portuguese restaurant. But have you ever wished that there was a more casual, more low-key version of Sabor? Maybe with multiple conveniently located spots around town? Well you're in luck because that's exactly what Bodega is! You'll find Bodega's flagship restaurant in the lower street level part of Sabor itself, however there are now five other locations. It's almost a guarantee that there is a Bodega near you, no matter where you are. People have loved this place for years. Voted as #1 Best Tapas 2018, #1 Best Spanish 2018, and #1 Best Wine Bar 2018 in VUE Weekly. CBC Edmonton's Best Restaurants 2019 listed them as Best of Downtown. And you'll find them as a Favourite Communal (Sharing) spot on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 list. It turns out that the people of Edmonton love a laid-back tapas moment and getting some sangria into the mix doesn't hurt either. I was excited to visit Bodega's original location in the heart of Downtown on a Saturday evening and to finally experience their flavours. The first thing to note about the OG Bodega restaurant is that they don't take reservations, however all of the other ones do. As previously mentioned, you will find the flagship location right inside of Sabor. Parking can sometimes be tricky in this area and that's the only downside. If you've been to Sabor before you already know how impressive the space is. The huge building is one of those places that doesn't need to pretend to be old because it actually is. Instead of heading up the stairs into Sabor's dining space, Bodega is found to the left of the entrance in the lower street-facing area. It's actually a wonderful use of space which otherwise might not have served much of a purpose. Less dressed up and grand than Sabor (but still bearing a similar decor), Bodega harnesses the Spanish modern-day watering hole vibe by featuring a simple but beautiful bar area and bistro-style al fresco dining in the warmer months. The dining space is small and because there are no reservations taken it might be necessary to prepare for a wait. When my group arrived it took about 15 minutes to be seated which seemed entirely reasonable. We were pleased to be situated at a beautiful little table outdoors, in the warm summer breeze. Unfortunately, there were a lot of bugs flying around that kept landing on our table and we had to ask to be moved to one of the more interior tables. Thankfully the staff was able to accommodate this! We really didn't want the bugs to land in our food. The servers who visited our table were all extraordinarily friendly and gracious. Of course there were going to be drinks! The wine list is plentiful and extensive. However, I was more drawn to the interesting Iberico gin & tonics, caipirinhas, sangria, and the signature cocktails. These are the types of drinks that I picture myself holding on a patio in the summer. From the cocktail list, the De Puta Madre (Mezcal, dry Sherry, pineapple, lemon, orgeat, cocoa powder - $16) sounded like the most special one to me. Out of curiosity, I put the name of this drink into a Spanish to English translator and had a pretty good laugh when I learned that it means Fucking Awesome. Well. Sounds like I made the correct beverage choice! And I really did enjoy sipping on this perfectly crafted cocktail. I was slightly worried that the mezcal would be very strong and boozy, but the balance of the ingredients was lovely. I felt that I was able to taste and appreciate the flavour of the mezcal without it being too overpowering. The fruity and sweet flavours from the pineapple, lemon, and almond syrup made the drink fun, but again it wasn't too sweet either. I loved this cocktail and it paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. The food menu is packed full of options and every single thing sounds enticing. The good news is that the plates are small and part of the experience is to order a lot of them. There's a whole long list of tapas, but also breads, spreads, charcutaria, and cheese if you are in the mood to create an exciting board (I always am!). There are also some larger plates if you are truly looking for one big meal of food. On this visit I was aiming to remain in the tapas realm since that is what this restaurant is actually all about. As such, we proceeded to barrage our server with a long list of items, eager to sample as many dishes as reasonably possible. We were asked if we would prefer to have every dish all at once, but opted for a slow and staggered method. No need to hurry though! It wasn't long before our parade of plates began to arrive. First was the Brushchetta (Grape tomato and fromage blanc - $14.00). I wouldn't have chosen this dish on my own accord but I saw it pass by on its way to a different table and it caught my eye.
