Came here for lunch on a windy Saturday based on my Yelp search. Had the grill cheese and soup…read more Sandwich was as expected. The soup was split pea and ham. Very good. And just what was needed to warm me up. The latte was also very good. I chatted with the owner a bit. They have been open for about 5 years. 30 years ago when I was growing up jn the area, such a nice little Cafe would have been impossible to find. But Red Deer downtown has really become nice and this place is part of that improvement

Since starting a new job downtown, I wanted to find a comfortable place to grab a light lunch, and…read moreThe Bistro really has hit the spot. The Bistro is a bit easy to miss - it has a modest storefront, and looks a bit dark from the outside. When you walk inside though, the business has a nice cozy feeling: wooden chairs and leather accented tables, as well as big comfy lounge chairs and 2-person booths, highlighted by local artwork on the walls. It's a counter-service affair, and you can order coffee and espresso drinks, milkshakes and floats, plus an assortment of soups, sandwiches, salads, sweets and ice cream. They also do a breakfast first thing I the morning for the early risers and office crowd. The staff is always super friendly, and quick to clean a table or help where they can. Basically everything is made-to-order, so you're going to get fresh food. An average lunch typically runs me about $10, a bit more if I opt for a latte instead of a pop, so the value is great too. This is definitely a place to check out if you'd like a change of pace from the fast food and pricey restaurants otherwise nearby. I understand they also do catering and they're pretty accommodating.

You would think I'd give any place that would serve me a beer an automatic five during these COVID…read moretimes. Tollers Bistro's food is certainly worthy but since each of its previous five ratings are fives, I'll go against the grain with a four, as there is always room for improvement. Located in a small strip mall, it's a high ceiling open space that lends itself well to safe dining. Tables are nicely separated and booths have guards between them. However, there is no sanitizer available at the entrance and I noticed the waitress seating customers without masks, so a little more effort regarding patron's safety would be nice. The food is excellent. Great menu, lots of choice and really interesting. We did some sharing, fish tacos, sweet potato fries, and cauliflower bites. Fish was battered, not normally my favourite, but was light and really tasty. Maybe the best sweet potatoes ever and the cauliflower bites are a meal, lightly breaded and tasty, maybe too big to be shared with just two people, most of ours came home. Staff is friendly and attentive. Waitress didn't know the beer list and suggested I "go look", which is fine but there weren't that many to remember. She did, however, bring us a takeaway box without being asked as she noticed the cauliflower bites still lingering on the plate. I can agree with the previous fives, but there is always room for improvement, at Tollers it's just some attention to detail. Great spot!

How can I describe the lemon poppyseed doughnut? Which I am assuming would describe all their…read morehandcrafted, fluffy-doughed, not really wanting to share, perfectly fried without lingering oils, incredibly tasty doughnuts. The lemon glaze had just the perfect amount of tart! Was a difficult decision choosing a doughnut flavour. The iced coffee with English toffee was just perfect for this sunny Alberta morning. All the reviews are correct. It's a must stop coffee shoppe. Easily one of my favourites when I come 'home' to Lacombe.

This is a wonderful place to eat in the Pigeon Lake South beach area. We were here for lunch on a…read morewarm July day so we really appreciated the air conditioning. The menu has some unique and interesting looking meals. I ordered the Eco Wrap $19.95 in 2026. It was definitely unique. It came with a choice of sides so I opted for the soup. My partner ordered the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese sandwich $16.75. It was very meaty and filling and she enjoyed it. The prices are on the high side but not unreasonably so. Service was pleasant and prompt. We will return some day.

Although great tasting food, my steak contained about 3 or so ounces of hard inedible grisal. When…read moreI complained, I was told they had no control over meat quality!!! I've never seen a restaurant refuse to take responsibility for what they serve. So, no compensation or adjustment, just a statement about maybe firing "another" butcher. As for service... average to mediocre at best. Not impressed.

I'm in Red Deer for a couple of hours so for lunch I consulted Yelp. Café Mellenium was not far so…read morethat's where we went. This café is downtown so we had to use the meters. After empting our pockets of change it gave us 48 minutes. Neither of us were ready for anything big so we both had soup and a muffin with coffee. They had four kinds of soup so I ordered cheddar broccoli. It was good, not from a can but not exceptional either. Bassically it's what we were looking for. The café offered some unique muffins which were satisfying. Our coffees were fine, although mine could have been a bit warmer than it was. The service was very friendly so I think they were also the owners. The café is located in the common area of the building which presumably is for a variety of offices. There were people coming and going like you would see at a shopping mall so that might prove distracting for people studying or working but it was very quiet while we were here. Will I come back? Certainly if I'm near the downtown and looking for a light lunch. Otherwise Red Deer is a large city now so there are many other places to explore. Tip: the washrooms are up the escalators and you need a code for the doors so ask for it at the café.

Started college downtown and this has quickly become my favorite cafe. They have a large variety of…read morefoods, way more than other cafes downtown and they're cheap too. I paid $5 for a drink at another place. That $5 got me a whole meal here. Their food is delicious and always ready to go, no wait times. Service is quick and friendly.

Came here to check it out. Lots of parking in front of the store. Staff was not the friendliest but…read moreanother staff came out while my order was being made and was very friendly. No one else came in while I was there. Didn't look like they have a bathroom for customers. I tried the Ice scramble as they had a picture of it at the front counter. It look more than 5min to make. Want an interesting drink! Shaved ice flavored with a light syrup, chocolate sauce, and skim milk powder (?sweetened), with mini marshmallows on top (like 4 of them. I was surprised by how much I liked this drink. It was good kind of melted as well. Portion is a little too big for my preference. Not too sweet which I was surprised about. Would recommend for something totally unique!

We both ordered the Hash bowl, which is unusual for us. The service was attentive, and excellent. The ladies were engaging and knew their stuff. The poached eggs were perfect, the potatoes nicely cooked were not crispy as advertised. There was more food on the plate than it looked like there as. We left well fed, and impressed with the experience. Not sure when we will be back in Red Deer, but this place will be on the docket for sure!

Great food. Great service. Great environment…read more This place was located within walking distance from our hotel. I love the dinner feel of the inside. We both ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was breaded with the most amazing seasoning. And the hot maple syrup made this dish even more amazing. Love that you can get tater tots with it. This place is amazing.

Pipestone is located approximately midway between the south and north shores of Pigeon Lake. Today we had breakfast for a very reasonable price. The food was homemade style with lots of sausages. You won't leave hungry. I'm looking forward to trying their pies too. Tthis restaurant mainly sells both frozen pies and pies by the slice, including savoury meat pies. we bought a frozen meat pie to try out for supper. The restaurant is not noisy so it makes for a pleasant dining experience. Note that motorcycles are welcome. The owner ride a Harley Tri-Glide and he's even put up a sign for a dedicated motorcycle parking area so other riders feel welcome.
