Unique menu. Really tasty. Very professional staff. Super friendly. Had takeout tonight and it was beautiful. As always.
We went on a Wednesday night, it was slow but the waiter wasn't always at the table. Good atmosphere, food was great, service was great.
Great food. Amazing service. Would highly recommend.
Small food quantity and very expensive but...very fine food, it's worth it!

Best Eggs Benedict ever. I love the atmosphere here, and the service is excellent.
Best eggs benny in Edmonton.
Quite wonderful food and amazing staff! I came here with my husband a couple months back to celebrate a job promotion and the waiter congratulated us. Had the steaks and side salads, all cooked nicely and seasoned well. Thank you, Normand's! We will come again.
Best Eggs Benny n Fruit Salad Dr or Sunday Brunch...come back the next day for Mussel Monday!
I ordered the roast duck and it was soo delicious! It comes with 2 thighs but it was so much I could only finish 1. The potatoes were also so yummy and complemented the overall dish very well. Would recommend as a date night destination =)
Came here with a group of 50 people and the staff were very accommodating, the food was fabulous the atmosphere was nice. Would come back here again with the wife for a fine dining experience.
Food was awesome....service was wonderful.
Always fantastic service !! Our favorite place to treat ourselves to a truly wonderful culinary experience . Normand always makes it feels.like home !
excellent meal and service!
Always great here, service and food wonderful, keep it up
Great place for groups, did a private dinner with family and friends and had amazing, attentive service with great food. Was very impressed with the service and quality, owner came up and socialized with us and just elevated the evening. Highly recommend for a wonderful dinning experience with old school ambience!
Food is great. Good wine selection!
Good location, nice interior, good service and the food are awesome
Great food and services.
Had my birthday here, and it was amazing. We got the special with my wife, and a nice bottle of wine. Afterwards, the server brought me a nice birthday surprise with real melted chocolate sunday for dessert with a nice candle. Great food, service and atmosphere.
Good but fairly expensive
This was delicious! If you want good service and awesome food!! Merci ...thank you to a friend that took me there!!
This place is fantastic! Convenient pricing, big dishes and the staff members are always kind.
Normand is always exceptional! He definitely knows how to treat all of his customers. We've had many dinners there and my wife and I just celebrated our 26th anniversary there on July 15th. From start to finish it was nothing less than AMAZING!! The food was perfection. The chef hit every part of the dish spot on! It's always a pleasure to see Normand and hear his jokes! See you soon Normand and this time we'll bring the kids as well!
Loved it! Service was excellent food was fantastic and they presented my wife and me with an anniversary cake at the end of the meal which was totally unexpected :) pic is upside down but you get the idea.
Food and service was great but way over priced.
Always a great dining experience, excellent food and relaxing atmosphere.
I had the fruit bowl & toast and a side of back bacon. Such a nice presentation of the meal, assortment of strawberries, watermelon sliced banana, blackberries, cantaloupe, fresh pineapple, honeydew. The rye toast was fresh & tasty, and the slices of back bacon grilled to perfection. Our waiter was attentive & so pleasant. We will definitely be back!
I love this restaurant. It is always delicious and never disappoints. They always have a wide selection of meats and entrees. The staff are friendly and can always accommodate our large family. They never rush us to leave either. The restaurant is cozy and well decorated.
This restaurant was amazing, the food was excellent in taste and presentation. Very class, this will be my new date restaurant .
Had the wild game and it was spot on. Norm as always provides a excellent dining experience.
Holy crap food is good. Not to expensive either. Our server Michael was a great guy.
Normand's is a dining experience that emphasizes game. Service was friendly, the food was excellent, and then menu choices were intriguing. Exotic meats such as kangaroo can find themselves on the menu, so be willing to try something new. A fancier place with a high but fair priced menu, and a good wine selection.
Normand treats all the guests as family, and he's been doing that for 30 years with great food and service
This place always has great service and amazing food.
Other than the company I was with Normands was an exceptional dining experience. Normand (himself) saw to it I was accommodated with my restricted Celiac diet. Everything was a succulent and to perfection. Right down to the gluten free bread.
We had a great meal everyone loved it!! Carpachio was delicious may be best I've had!
Excellent food, wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Formal dining with a higher price tag to match.
Great restaurant, great food. My favorite in Edmonton. Have been there many times and never had a bad meal.
Best birthday supper ever! Absolutely loved the take home photo from that night as well. 10/10 recommended
Very good food. Not a cheap place to go.
This was the first restaurant, that I went in this new normal.Owner and staff are friendly , caring and accommodating .Food was superb it was prepared to perfection .Highly recommend !
Best food and excellent service.

Their food was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were big! Service was amazing and I had the pleasure to meet Normand himself! The sticky date pudding is a must try????
Good bison and new Zealand lamb
Fantastic, like it always is, never disappointed
Great menu with choices ranging from game to seafood. Also lots of drink and appetizer specials, like "Mussel Mondays". Prices are fair for a high end restaurant.
Absolutely lovely dinner with amazing service. The atmosphere is cozy and the servers are extremely attentive. Definitely coming back here for special occasions.
Wild game cooked extremely well and The duck was great. Awesome experience!
Chef and staff very accommodating. Delicious crab Bene.
Food is fantastic service was great great place to bring loved ones and family
Miss and have always loved this restaurant love the owner Normand the staff and the food has always been hands down amazing. Please come to California.
Beautiful, quaint spot. Love their food here, never been disappointed. They have a very nice wild game menu here. And the service is superb. Very friendly staff. Highly reccomend!
Haven't been for years and it's still great
Amazing service! Good selection of food, and whatever you pick it'll be the best meal you've ever had.
Amazing food and very personal service
Normand’s has been a go to for my father and I the past few years, and even during a pandemic, it’s an essential part of special occasions. My partner and I got the two wild game specials as takeout today (venison & kangaroo, and boar & ostrich) along with a bison carpaccio. I’m not sure where else we would be able to find such an amazing wild game selection! The attention to detail is humbling; nothing on your plate is neglected, including the seasonal vegetables (we’re still raving about the wilted greens). Normand Campbell himself is such a warm and welcoming presence and he makes you feel at home even when you’re just there to pick up food in a pandemic. If you’re looking for delicious local food crafted with love and attention, look no further.
Excellent food! Every need was attended to by our server. His recommendations were spot on. The exotic meat selection was superb. I had the wild boar and kangaroo. The wild boar bacon is totally awesome. Good food. Good service. I highly recommend it.
It's always great. I love the duck!!
Very good food and service. Will definitely come back.
Amazing service, ambiance, food and dessert. Forget Ruth Chris and the Keg. This is my new favourite steakhouse. The owner is present and very welcoming. Highly recommended.
Very good food, service was amazing. Went for my daughters 21st birthday. Worth the money!
Absolutely amazing! Exceptional service and exquisite food. So happy we came to this restaurant, and will definitely be back!
Excelente food & service
We had a party of 8. All aspects of dinner and drinks were excellent. Price point is a bit higher. But completely worth it. Service, food and atmosphere all top notch. Nice work Normands.
We went here for a birthday on Saturday. The food was to die for and the portions were large! We were lucky enough to have the owner as our server, he was so friendly and had great recommendations for what we should have to eat. There is a reason why they have been open for over 30 years.
Very tasty. Very high end. I had the wild game sampler or something named close to that. Just mouth happiness! Also had boar ribs and tasted the ceaser salad. All amazing.
Wonderful restaurant! I strongly recommend trying their unique menu options. I only give it a 4 because the location has very little free parking. But there is a paid lot across the street
Excellent food and variety, , consistently well prepared and awesome service.
Great place for breakfast. Doesn't get busy till after 10 on Saturdays.
Exellent service but menu sands an acquired taste.
The best liver i never had, melt in your mouth sooo tender. All the food we tried was sooo yummy.The service was top top. If you are french you can be served in french too. The harmorny of the restaurant is just perfect if you want to relax and disconnect of the stress of life, also perfect place for couples if you want a romantic and calm supper with your partner. Can't wait to try another things on their amazing and various menu.
Always great food.
Amazing food with beautiful and attentive service
Great service, great food! Always have a good meal here.
Great environment and service. Good food too!!!
'Very' tasty and well prepared meal. My first time to Normand's, however I didn't try any of the wild game main dishes (this time), I chose a New York steak instead. The entire meal was perfect; the wild game soup (goulash) was hearty and delicious, the steak dinner was perfectly prepared, and the chocolate cake was very good. The service was first class (including from the owner (Normand? Norm? Norman?), and next time I will try one of the wild game dishes. This is a small, intimate place serving all types of interesting main courses. Perfect for solo, couples, or small groups looking for something different in a high end restaurant... I'll be back for sure.
Amazing food, amazing service! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the great experience ????
Amazing food, the best game and delicious desserts!!
Taste great as always .
Has always been, and certainly remains one of Edmonton's best fine dining restaurants. Not over priced and wonderful ambiance. We went for a mussle night... absolutely the best !!!!
Absolutely wonderful food and atmosphere
The food is amazing and the wait staff is incredible. They serve unusual foods like crocodile and ostrich. A little old fashioned but a must try in the city
I LOVE NORMANDS!!!! I've been here for one of my birthdays and just this recent valentines day this year. Everytime I've went here Normand is just amazing and has been exceptionally wonderful. you can tell his business is his passion and treats his guests like royalty. The staff has always been so kind to me and whomever I've been with. I wish I could remember my servers name so I could give them a shout out. The food is delicious!! The bison carpaccio is my favorite. The food here is amazing and beautifully crafted. There is a reason he has been in business for so long. Thanks Normand I will be by again.
Good food, great service.
Fantastic service. Super friendly and great atmosphere. Everything we had was great, the salmon quiche was full of flavour. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and attentive servers
The owner is fantastic, super nice man and the food is simple but yet complex. The basic protein, vegy and starch meal combo but with nice flavors that makes the food quality shine. The Lamb was great and I had it Medium which I would recommend for those who usually get well-done, the lamb since it's a such a quality meat the Medium is perfect.
Fabulous food. Exceptional service.
Always exceeds expectations, every single time I bring my wife here. I have never ordered off the menu. I've always picked the special Game menu and have never been disappointed. Took my wife here for her first Mother's Day and it was absolutely amazing. Service was great, food came out in a timely manner. I honestly can't say enough great things about Normand's. One of our top 3 restaurants.
My boyfriend and I went with another couple for a nice dinner last Friday, and wanted to try somewhere new. Norman's was somewhere we had always heard about but never tried, so we decided to give it a go. We had reservations for 1930h and were promptly seated. Our server was absolutely fantastic and his knowledge of the extensive menus was quite vast. We had our drinks dropped off at the table, along with some complimentary bread. Things were off to a great start. And then the food came. My boyfriend ordered the filet and lobster tail, and his meal was decent - but hardly worth the price tag for cold side steamed vegetables and half cooked scalloped potatoes. Our friends ordered the bison steak, which tasted like it had sat in its own blood for too long. And the Mornay - which had ZERO flavour. I had ordered the New York - it was the least tender steak I have had in my life. We spoke to some other patrons outside and they all had the specials and said the food was amazing. This was disapointing for us to hear as you think a restaurant that has been a staple for so long would have some solid classics that hold the menu up. And the most frustrating thing was we wanted to support somewhere local and have a great meal, but at over $60 per plate per person, I feel scammed. So in hindsight, if you do decide to go despite it being over priced and needs a whole new menu revamp - get the special, enjoy the drinks and fill up on the bread !
Amazing place to go for a date. Food was great. the atmosphere was awsome.
Staff are great, the food is amazing, and there is always great features.
Excellent service and delicious food. Waiters are professional and the owner is superb. Great place for the romantic couple or group outings.
Great food and great service; a hidden gem!

Good food.
The best breakfast I have had in a while- 10/10 melt in your mouth, tingle every tastebud and have you wanting more! I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for quality, experience and precision! Very tasty, and very friendly atmosphere, the server we had was incredible!
Very nice place. The food is amazing there. Very welcoming staff. Nice atmosphere for family or work dinner. If you are planning to go it is better to reseve sometimes it is fully booked cause of reservations. You will certainly not regret your time at Normand's the food is excellent! Try it out!
Quality breakfast at a reasonable price. Almost all items are traditional - nothing new and fancy in this well tenured establishment
Great food and great service. Elite fine dining and Greg and Normand are the best. Would recommend over and over. Try the lamb. You won't be disappointed
There is no way to express how wonderful this restaurant is. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is perfect, and the staff are lovely. We always look forward to seeing Hank, and have spent MANY special occasions here. Normand is a wonderful person, and is always around to check on your experience. If you want outstanding food for a special occasion, you will not be disappointed here!
Probably the best place for breakfast in the city.
Absolutely amazing, just finished and can't wait to come back. Can't say enough so I kept it short.
We had the bison and kangaroo platter. It was delicious and very tender.
The food and service was excellent. Be prepared to spend a high price...but trust me it's worth it! My brothers had wild meat and they loved it. I had an awesome seafood dish. The staff are lovely.
There is no better Eggs Benedict ... anywhere ...... period. It's amazing. Then come back for brunch / lunch and supper. Mushroom soup is really really good to, and in reality its all pretty amazing. It's a go to place no question.
Good service. Ordered ostrich and elk steak. Well cooked and we enjoyed it.
Let hank sling your food with flair finesse and grace. Monday night mussels a must. Devoured the bison and kangaroo and slice of boar bacon savoring each bite cooked to perfection. Next trip will eggs benie with Alaskan crab and asparagus.
Every time is memorable! food is extremely good , the service is top notch
Going to Normand's was my first time eating in a restaurant since the start of the pandemic. Eating there was like remembering what good food tastes like. I was there as part of a large group and not a single person was anything other than pleased. Everything brought to our table was excellent with very filling portion sizes. Presentation, atmosphere, and service was all top notch. You can't help but feel the 'fine' in fine dining. Will definitely be going back.
Delicious brunch with great service
Normand and Curtis took great care of us, fantastic hosts, we will most certainly be back.
Great restaurant with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I always have the duck, no matter how hard I try. Top knotch.
Place needs a bit of an update but the food and service were good
I have never felt so appretiated as a customer. The staff are top notch the food is fantastic. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. If you havnt been here you're missing out on the best resteraunt in edmonton
5 stars is for the food and the older gentleman that helped us. Our waiter however was super rude and seemed bothered
Very pleasant place and service is perfect
An amazing restaurant and excellent staff.
Very nicely done french cuisine that has a changing menu. the complimentary bread and butter are great as you have three different flavors of butter as well as different types of bread. The place's design remind me very much of traditional french and even italian restaurans. The service was great and the food was very good too. It's not a wow for the price but I do think the price to quality ratio compliment each other very well. The ice cream for dessert was delicious and overall this is a great local restaurant for people to enjoy and maybe celebrate an occasion.
Excellent food. Great service. Wild game is awesome!
17 years ago my people & I happened to find this place and had an amazing meal which we continue to recall & recommend to others visiting Edmonton. Went again recently with the same people and it remains fantastic.
Could not have been happier with our experience. Great wine. Amazing food. Lovely service. They care and it shows.
Pricey, but absolutely worth it.
Amazing food and service. Highly recommend this place.
First time here and what an experience. Appetizers are amazing , I highly recommend the foei gras and mussels I probably ate one whole order to myself at a table of . Their seafood pasta was top notch unlike a lot of restaurants gst give you baby seafood , this plate had jumbo size!We were the last party and never felt that they were in a rush to kick us out. Normand even came and introduced himself. Thank you for a lovely evening ! Mypiglife Rating : ????????????????1/2
I recommend Normand's Restaurant, Edmonton, Alberta - Canada Delicious Dinner with the family and relatives . superb service . impressive .
Great gem in West downtown. Norman the owner is always greeting and entertaining customers, and all the server's are amazing. The prices are not cheap, but you also get what you pay for. The portions are huge, and they always have a great selection for dessert. Definitely recommend!
The food was fantastic. The ambiance was very nice as well.
Great food. Amazing service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food, and a nice cozy atmosphere that reminds me of a more sophisticated Edmonton
I brought my parents for a mother's day dinner. Everything was fantastic. From the wild boar ribs as an appetizer to the filet mignon with a lobster tail. And the cobbler was off the chart! The service was perfect. I haven't been since the early 90's but I definitely will be back soon after this amazing dinner.
It's a good 9 out of 10.food is nice & they try hard to please.
The staff and service is amazing and the food is even better. They made our anniversary really special and we will definitely continue coming back!!
Went here for Valentine's Day. We had reservations so we were seated promptly by Normand himself, who was warm and professional. The interior is what you would call old school upscale. At one point I'm sure it was well received but it is starting to look quite dated. Our server was quiet and awkward although you could tell she was trying. Drinks were strong and tasted good. However, there was a total of SEVEN drink menus! Three for wine, one for martinis, two for scotch, and one for Absolut. There was three menus for food, totalling TEN menus all together! Mildly excessive. The food was prepared well and reasonably seasoned. The prices are what you would expect from an "old-school fancy" restaurant. All in all we had a nice meal, albeit expensive.
My boyfriend and I recently had gone to Urban Tavern for a beverage but decided we were wanting something a little more formal, so we decided to give Normands a try as it is one of those places we were always saying "we need to go and try it out." Well we got there around 9:20 that evening, the waitress brought us some menus and said she would be right back. However it was, I am assuming the owner/manager, who came back and asked us what we would like to order. We asked if we could order a drink first and then decide, he said the kitchen was closing soon so we had to decide, he pointed out a couple options he recommended and took our drink order, very reluctantly. The waitress ended up coming back with our drinks and left, manager came back and we gave him an order for an appetizer. It is very hard to articulate the atmosphere that we were in, I had never felt so un-welcomed in a restaurant in my entire life. We just wanted to have a nice meal, sorry but the kitchen is still open; as well I am not sure what was with the waitress but its like she was afraid of us. I told my better half that I did not want to stay and he said lets go, so for the first time in my life I walked out of a restaurant. Im sure the food is great, although didn't to try, I will not be returning.
Excellent food, excellent service. Love the sticky date pudding
Would of given it 5 stars except my poached eggs which I ordered very soft came hard. Rest of the meal was great
Amazing food and amazing service 10/10
Let's start with Normand himself. An attentive and friendly host discreetly and efficiently overseeing the entire experience. With food (meat especially game) expertly and subtly executed. With an extensive wine and drink list to compliment the evening.
Amazing food and great staff
The people are extremely nice The menu needs a revision. The portion are generous, the food was ok but vegetables were overcooked and presentation was lacking of punch. The decor of the restaurant needs to be refresh. The location is prefect and they offers parking space.
Tasty food, nice personnel, warm atmosphere.

Great Experience
Normands has been a favorite with my husband for years. I finally had the privilege of enjoying an amazing dinner here for our 30th wedding anniversary weekend and it did not fail. The service is impeccable with wait staff that are professional and knowledgeable and Norman himself orchestrates the entire evening every night to ensure everything sent out is perfect. I tried Norman's house made pate and I would definitely recommend it even for those that don't normally care for traditional pate. Norman's pate is silky smooth and oh so buttery! The larger quantity of butter in the pate cuts the bitter liver flavour that is normally associated with traditional chicken liver pate and the addition of their house made citrus jam brings the pate to a whole new level. I also ordered the cranberry glazed duck which was absolutely incredible! Crispy skinned and succulent meat combined with the acidic sweetness of the cranberry glaze was incredible. Coming separately in its own copper pot added to the indulgence I felt when eating it. Portions can be large so ask your waiter before ordering full sizes, I miss judged and could barely finish my meal , it became a painful experience but I enjoyed every bite.
Awesome food, always
Another fantastic meal with a wonderful wild game menu! Thank you Normand for making my wife's birthday meal a special and memorable experience and congratulations on your 30th anniversary!
We had a wonderful meal at Normand's. I brought my daughter here to celebrate a special event and it didn't disappoint. A local fixture for over 30 years now and it's easy to see why. The food was excellent. Everything from the starter, to the mains, to the dessert was expertly prepared and delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided us a great understanding of the menu options and made helpful suggestions.
Wonderful Wedding Dinner Making a wedding during a pandemic can be challenging and frustrating. When I wanted to host a wedding dinner, Normand's made it easy. His suggestion of Kir Royale for a pre dinner drink was spot on, as was his suggestions for the appetizers as well. He even made mocktails for the youngsters and they were thrilled. After that, everyone ordered an entree from the menu. Normand and his staff handled 29 orders with military precision. The food, as always, was spectacular and the service was stellar. We introduced a few people to wild game for the first time and they were pleasantly surprised as to how tasty it was. I was also pleasantly surprised when the bill came as well. It was a lot less than I expected, even with the drinks! This is why he has been in business for over 30 years. You can always count on me for repeat business and after tonight, you have gained a lot more customers. Thank you to Normand and his staff for making this a memorable evening. Give Normand's a try and you will be very happy you did.
Loved it! Such a fun family Birthday night! Amazing fun and staff. We even got a picture of our table for our memories.
Dinner
My favourite place for breakfast. The service is especially good and the food is great. Freshly squeezed juice on site!
So....I have going to this restaurant for 25 years. I would not frequent a place for 25 years unless it is special. Normand's is special. Every time I go there the service is fantastic. The servers are pros. They are not bothersome but somehow they know when you need them. Normand always comes to say hello. What a warm and welcoming place. I totally recommend their potatoes au gratin and the wild game special. A bit expensive but soooooo worth it for $45. You can eat there for $28 if you order my regular which is the Normand's Petite New York. Super delicious with their mushroom sauce and perfect veggies
Delicious food, excellent service, knowledgeable and attentive staff without being overbearing
Absolutely amazing food, fantastic staff, and incredible service, as always. My husband and I celebrate milestones with a trip to Normand's; we've been a several times now. Their game dishes are our favourite in all of Edmonton, hands down. We recently ordered take out for a date night over the holidays. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. They even included a little bread basket & mints - a nice little touch from Normand and his staff!
Absolutely wonderful experience. Serene atmosphere coupled with an exquisite selection of food fit for every taste of cuisine. Thankyou for the incredible experience.
You will not be disappointed by eating here. A long time Edmonton mainstay and when you try it you understand. Professional waiters, the highest quality food, great relaxed atmosphere. Solid breakfast too.
This restaurant has a very special place in my heart... and the food is epic. I genuinely have dreams about the bison carpaccio and the seafood moreo.
Good food
The food is wonderful but the service isn't great. The staff don't appear to care or try to remember you despite the fact that you have raved about the food, brought friends, brought the company staff for 2 parties. And went to ALL the outfits run by Normand's (Glenora B&B, Normand's on Jasper, and Normand's at the Citadel). My last visit was about a month ago and it is my last. In the past, my friends said their unfriendliness probably stems from wanting to leave you alone/ French style, etc. My guest on this occasion was a Caucasian friend, fit and recently retired. Suddenly the service is better than ever before! I am so put off by the whole experience - my friend loves it and I'm upset because of all my previous experiences - including the one that day. They weren't busy but made me wait, then asked me if it's just me, then kind of ignored me till my friend showed up and suddenly, the grumpy waiter is super charming to me and her. And he's always been grumpy in all my visits. You never feel like they try to remember you. Yummy food but the attitude is a whole other matter. Not sure if they just don't like serving younger people, Asians, or large groups or what. I'm not going back.
Amazing food and fantastic staff! Whether you're a regular or just found the place off the street they treat you the same!
We went here for our anniversary and our server was also the owner. The food was good but the service was only average. The owner was busy fawning over two attractive single (she mentioned it when they came in) females who came in later. He even took her keys and parked her car for her. Social distancing was not in order here as he stood with his arm around the young lady for a photo and at another point he was leaning on her shoulders for another shot. He would lean in for intimate conversation at their table. So much for Covid. We also mentioned that it was our anniversary which he acknowledged. We've been to many high end restaurants for our anniversary over the years (39) and were never made to feel like it was just another day by the staff. I guess with Normands its bin dere done dat!
Worth the place to try out! The food is delicious and service is great.
Friendly staff, had a great Food, and the desserts were light and not overly sweet. Definitely will be back for dinner soon.
Everything was beautiful and delicious. The kind of close your eyes tingle all over your body delight! Thank you for existing! Thanks for all the hard work in making that lovely dinning experience!
What a excellent place you have to try it to believe . 3rd time there and will be coming back soon.
Best high class restaurant in Edmonton. I've been eating here for years and it always blows my mind.
Great ambiance, amazing food!
We came here on the last day of our Alberta trip. My boyfriend really wanted to try exotic game meat, so I thought I would give Normand's a try. It was Saturday September 18th and it was exceptionally busy. Nonetheless, the service was impeccable. We had a waiter named Glenn, who was attentive and funny. I was very impressed with the service and the food. They had provided complimentary bread, but the butter was infused with cranberry. oh my goodness, so good. I have never had butter like that before but I was impressed.We also ordered the 10oz Bison steak and my hubby got the Wild Boar Bacon, Elk and kangaroo as it was the special for the night. We were blown away! not even gamey tasting at all. It was super flavourful, and the space that went on it paired well with the meats. I couldn't believe that it tasted almost similar to steak just leaner and lighter. definitely one of the best meals, we've had in awhile. My hubby has never been the type of person to post food on social media, but you bet he did with his dinner at Normands! What a great way to spend our last day in Alberta. I would definitely recommend to all my friends and family in Ontario, who may be travelling to Alberta in the future! The first picture is the bison, the other picture is the kangaroo, wild boar bacon and elk.

Cozy restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Excellent food.
Good food and great people
Another great meal at Normand's. Perfect service, congenial host, great food. My wife loved the Petite New York steak with the delicious mushroom sauce and that's saying something since she isn't a big fan of red meat but when they do it this well, who can resist.
Staff: AMAZING!! we were celebrating our anniversary and they made it so special, thank you!!!
Probably one of the best meals I've ever had, straight up. The wild game feature was absolutely amazing and I was lucky enough to be able to try camel. Service was impeccable as well, as expected of such a fine restaurant. Servers were friendly and very approachable. Definitely a strong recommendation if you're ever in the mood for something luxurious.
the wild mushroom ragout with crostini was devine. coupled with a caesar salad and a couple of glasses of prosecco it was a perfect and satiating meal. a delightful evening with wonderful service and an embracingly warm ambience. kudos to normand for hanging in there through the past year and a half.
Dinner
Great place, great food... too bad the owner struts around the place like a half cut cigar looking down at the world through his mini empire of nothing. It would be a hit... without Normand.
Meal type
Very nice fancy dining. Some delicious entrees. ...and deserts.
Service
Service started out a bit slow; there were only 3-4 other groups inside, but it felt like it took a while to have our orders taken. Finally, a server arrived with glasses of water for us, and we had decided what to order. We ended up sharing the Frog Legs Provencal appetizer, and I ordered the filet mignon while my husband ordered the roast duck.
Classic brunch restaurant. Their hollandaise is home made and you can taste the freshness of the lemon. It is light and flashed before serving. The eggs are cooked perfectly. Nice accompaniments to the meal with delicious hash browns, and I do not do carbs but cannot resist then. Also a fresh, and I mean fresh bowl of mixed fruit and berries. The service is classic French style and very friendly. Cannot wait to go back.
wait staff was helpful and friendly. my eggs benedict was done perfectly. one of my favourite breakfast places in town.
Five Star ⭐'s plus. My favorite restaurant ever. Thank you Normands for making our evening so special.
Consistently great service and amazing food! The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Thanks for a great evening!
Fabulous food...one of the best eggs Benedict I've had. Nice atmosphere and great service.
You might not think this small restaurant could accommodate a 30 person group, but they made it very comfortable. The food was delicious -- especially the mushroom crostini, and the mussels. The service was simply impeccable with obviously professional waiters who never once referred to guests as "guys".
My friend and I celebrated our birthdays at Norman's last night. The service was impeccable. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the lamb as well as the bison. Have to admit the deserts where the highlight. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Hope to be back soon.
Nice lobster bisque, fabulous wild boar medallion and superb elk steak-- both wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked-- with double smoked boar bacon all served with Saskatoon sauce . The perfect finish was the sticky date pudding which was moist and delicate with a scrumptious caramel sauce (somehow filled with wonderful tiny sugar crystals) and thick whipped cream.
Amazing food and phenomenal service!
We went here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary, and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we entered, and the restaurant itself had an elegant but cozy vibe. Our waiter was very informative and gave helpful suggestions for both food and drinks, and the service was excellent. We both ordered the special, one with wild game and one with seafood, which were both described perfectly and exceeded our expectations. Wild game is not something we'd typically eat, but it was cooked perfectly and very enjoyable. I am quite picky with my seafood as I'm from the coast and have high expectations, and this meal was absolutely delicious! They even made it a point to serve us a special dessert to help us celebrate. This was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had at a restaurant, and it made the night extra special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Normands to anyone, and will definitely be back.
I like the concept of the venue serving regional food however I was thrown off when the special included kangaroo. Despite that everything tasted great though maybe too much bread. I had the wild mushroom dip as an entrée which said it came with crostini but it was actually sliced baguette. i opted for the special which was wild boar and kangaroo tenderloin with wild boar bacon served on top of a Saskatoon berry sauce with scallop potatoes and veggies. The beetroot was especially good. I had the straight martini for a drink and it was quite strong. Probably could have done with a bit more olive brine. As for the venue itself, the music was on point and not too loud, staff were courteous and polite, and the seats and table setting were nice. One downside was my mother had asked for her steak well done and it was not. Otherwise great experience.
Food is unique, superb and there is always something new on the menu. The staff is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We always have a great experience at this place.
Nice little place, the food was great with amazing presentation and at a great price. The breakfest is the same price as anywhere else but with the presentation and quality of a 5 star dinner.
(Translated) Great restaurant! Breakfast was delicious. The owner also speaks French. Great atmosphere! (Original) Great restaurant! Breakfast was delicious. Le propriétaire parle également français. Belle ambiance!
My fiancé, son, and I had a wonderful experience at Normand's. From the time the reservation was made until we closed the evening, it truly felt like we had been welcomed warmly into a friend's home, and treated to an assortment of fine food and skilled "chefmanship". Our service was absolutely delightful, and we left with a sense of joy, gratitude and a meaningful measure of humility. Merci beaucoup, Normand, Peter et Derek. -Kelly
Never again, never again.
Booked my bday dinner here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant seemed quite busy but we got greeted and seated promptly. The only hiccup was that they sat us at a tiny table right by staircase close to restrooms… a bit offensive for a birthday dinner that was booked 2 weeks ahead of time. I should have requested a window seat or something back then but assumed that giving a nice table was a common courtesy for special occasions bookings made ahead of time. We did ask if we could be moved and they did so within 20 mins or so to a slightly better table facing the kitchen. We decided we won’t let this stop us from having a good time and therefore enjoyed very much the rest of our dinner time. The food was excellent! My duck was absolutely phenomenal! Service was prompt and very friendly. They complemented my dessert which was very sweet. Overall rather good experience! We’ll be back!????
Today I learnt something new! Lox and Smoked Salmon are the same thing. I also learnt that this is now my favourite place for Eggs Benny.
Worst dinner we have ever had in our lives at a restaraunt. This food is absolutely brutal. We have the New York steak and lobster mornay,. The steak had what appeared to be canned mushroom soup as a sauce and the lobster mornay sauce tasted like butane fluid. My wife and I both feel sick. Horrible is the only way to descibe this place!
Great food and service
The service is excellent and the food is amazing! A lovely evening out, but I heartily recommend the eggs Benedict for breakfast as well!
Amazing food and amazing staff! Make sure to check out the kangaroo.
My mouth, throat and stomach are still burning from last night's "curried vegetables", even though I only ate two bites. Horrible!
(Translated) Very tasty food (Original) Erg lekker eten
Visited on a whim for my birthday dinner and I will absolutely be back again! Amazingly varied menu, excellent service, classy venue and some of the best wild game I've ever eaten. The elk, bison and boar were all phenomenal, and the staff went out of their way to ensure I had a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
Excellent customer service! Very attentive and kind courteous service. I came here for my birthday and was given a birthday dessert on the house. They wrote "happy birthday" on it and added a candle. They took a photo of us and printed it off for us! Such a nice touch.
The most amazing Birthday Party ???? for four. The personal touch was amazing and Normand is always attentive. The food was even more outstanding than the service. Be prepared to tantalize your palette, awaken all your senses and one of the most incredible evening of your life. ????
Great food and service here. Nice wine list and reasonable prices. Check this place out when downtown Edmonton.
Food was excellent as usual. Staff goes above and beyond.
Classic and decent food.
Wonderful place. The staff, the food, the whole experience was just fantastic. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a unique, wonderfully executed dining experience.
Great place!Will come back for dinner!!
Very lovely place.. tasty food ! Best service Printed a photo for us cuz of our anniversary. Very very recommended
Food is fantastic, although a little expensive and service is great!
Carrot ginger soup was fantastic
Good food. Good service
Very nice meal. Excellent service. Very nice helpful and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend for any occasion.
Best place for special occasions in Edmonton, hands down! Depending on the season, you can find ostrich here, kangaroo, elk, bison, aligator, etc. Also wine. Insane selection of wines that you would have difficulty pronouncing. Go see what I mean, it's a nice place for dates.
Good breakfast, good strong coffee, real food.
Excellent food. The breakfast menu looks short but there is something there for everyone. Most of the breakfast menu came over from the Glenora Bistro when they closed so the wonderful selection of benedicts. Lunch and dinner are excellent as well. They are also one of the few places with wild game on the menu. Service is always excellent.
Excellent food and service
Stellar food & atmosphere! My favourite place on Jasper Ave!!
Exellent restaurant. They have a large game menu. Their servings are large and great for sharing. The restaurant is small and popular so make sure you make reservations. Parking is in the back and limited. It is a bit pricey but worth it. For a full course plus desert budget approx 120 for two people. Definitely a place I would return too.
Tried to find one word to describe Normand's - fantastic, awesome, wonderful staff. There isn't one word for this fabulous restaurant!!!
Amazing food and service
(Translated) We went to dinner on Saturday 10/17 three couples and it was a pleasant surprise, both the treatment of the owner who attended us and the quality of all the dishes we ate. Highly recommended !!! (Original) Fuimos a cenar el sábado 17/10 tres matrimonios y fue una agradable sorpresa, tanto el trato del dueño que nos atendió como la calidad de todos los platos que comimos. Muy recomendable!!!
Good service, food was very delicious
Exquisite culinary experience from appetizers to desserts with amazing wine selections
This place continually delivers perfection in a dining experience. We have been 3 times now. We used to always go to the Harvest Room at the Fairmont. Couldn't get in one night and tried Normand's. What a stroke of luck. Everything about this place is genuine and exceptional. The food, atmosphere, and service. The owner is hands on and a joy to be around. Very welcoming and appreciative of your business. Diverse menu that offers game meat. We have had kangaroo, elk, bison and wild boar. All items are good value for your dollar and perfectly executed. At the end of the evening, Wife's birthday, they took a picture of us with dessert and proceeded to hand us a picture of our special night. Thoughtful touch. Highly recommend.
Best ever. Owner is amazing.
Definitely a must try restaurant if you haven't yet. The food is amazing, and the service was very professional. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Edmonton.
Went here for a family dinner, the food was amazing. The atmosphere is great. Food was a little expensive.
This restaurant was amazing! We just happened to find it, while we were trying to find a different restaurant, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The customer service was great the menu was pleasantly surprising and the atmosphere was lovely. The cost of food was in line with a place that has this type of cuisine. My hubby ordered the pheasant and I ordered the gaming special which was bison, venison with a crocodile skewer we shared our plates and everything tasted great. We started out with the pate, which was our least favorite of everything but still tasty, we also had a bottle of wine and payed I believe around $200 so it’s not cheap but it is worth it for an occasional setting.
Top class
We enjoyed a great dinner at Normand's last night. As always left satisfied.
We had brunch at Normand's January 2020. The quality of the food was excellent as always, but our server was rude and unenthusiastic, and when the kitchen forgot one of our table's meals, she promised several times it would be "just a few minutes". After 20 minutes passed we followed up and it appeared she had forgotten and it still wasn't being prepared. The kitchen then threw together an unsatisfactory sandwich and our server was unapologetic and didn't offer to comp the affected guest's bill. Very unusual for Normand's.
The food is fantastic. The staff and owner are very friendly, without being intrusive. It was a beautiful evening.
Just celebrated 65th birthday with dinner at Normand's. Everything was exceptional, from service, to food to atmosphere. It's been way too long since we were able to enjoy a long time favorite! Thank you to Norman, our host, and Peter, our very pleasant, able and solicitous server! A lovely experience all around. All best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. Maggie.
Excellent service and outstanding food! But cheap, but it's worth it
A very special place, with exceptional food, and phenomenal service. 11/10
A wonderful place to stay with your friends. Also a traditional restaurant other than very fast food restaurant that you will not disappointed with the real style of life should be. I love this restaurant????????????❤
Great place
My family and I always come to Normands with any chance we get. It’s always a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. I have never had a time where I was ever disappointed. Do yourself a favor and come to Normands!
Great experience. Mussels and Pate were amazing. Had the lamb and it was great as well. I would come here just for the appetizers.. Greats service. Their bread was amazing... Although the butter was just a little cold and didn't want to to spread well. I got the lamb for myself. It was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The scalloped potatoes were delicious. Overall, it is a great establishment . Recommend to anybody that wants to try wild game.
A classic 'old school' and 'old boys' place. The service is excellent, the menu traditional (dated, a bit), dependable and the kitchen has high standards. They are very accommodating to celiac and other dietary restrictions. The decor is definitely dated, and the bike parking is non-existent.
Excellent food and service, pricey but worth it
This place only needs one word: Amazing! Lots of unique menu items not found in other restaurants with knowledgeable service staff.
Simply put amazing! Never been before but for sure will be back now. The wild game selection is impressive and cooked to perfection. Service was great very attentive but not overly so and even the owner stopped by to introduce himself and welcome us! Very classy. A+ will definitely be recommending to friends and family
Great food. Always good to come here.
Food was amazing!
My favourite breakfast, the Sautéed Mushrooms and Smoked Gruyere Rggs Benedict. I can also never resist the outstanding g mushroom soup.
Food there is always great, and the servers are top-notch. Always professional - it's very rare to have adult males who treat serving like a profession and know what they are doing. Also, the owner is name is actually Normand, and he is a great host and shows he cares about his customers.
Good food. Slightly pricey. Service could be better
Simply amazing !!! Love the wild game menu!!
Fantastic brunch!
Normand's has always been our favourite restaurant for those very special occasions. Normand's is fine dining. Be prepared to spend a bit more but the eclectic selection, food quality and personal attentiveness by Normand and his professional staff is well worth it. The wild game choices are as varied as they are wildly satiating. Wild boar and smoke wild boar bacon and Elk so tender you can cut it with your fork. Norm and his long time Chef Cui will take you on a gastronomic safari you can't wait to tell everyone you know about what you experienced. Go there. Be happy.
Delicious. Old school French. Varied cuts of meat. Use your money wisely but go for dinner not brunch. Dinner is where it's at!!!
Food was tasteful but the prices are a little high ....I guess you pay for stability and professionalism , this place has that .
Always amazing food
(Translated) I am very happy to have been to this restaurant. The owner, Normand is friendly and took the time to meet each of his clients. I recommend this restaurant and will definitely return. Very good lunch! (Original) Je suis très contente d'etre allé à ce restaurant. Le propriétaire, Normand est sympathique et à pris le temps de venir rencontrer chacun de ses clients. Je recommande ce restaurant et j'y retournerai définitivement. Très bon déjeuner!
Love ???? the food and service always excellent.
We celebrate every new year with 2 other couples at Normands. This year was special as we used curbside pickup. The preparation of the food was excellent and overall this was a great experience. Joel D. Edmonton
In a word, excellent. I ordered their special of the night which was 3 different cuts of meat with potatoes and vegetables, my SO ordered their stuffed chicken. Both came out perfect, the meat steaks I had were cooked right and everything tasted excellent. We also asked the waiter for some wine pairing suggestions and he was on point on the wine as well. The atmosphere is intimate, with a little of a cozy decor all around. It's a smaller restaurant so suggest reservations ahead of time as the restaurant did fill up even on a random Wednesday night.
Food is tasty, service is excellent, and the food servers were jolly and awesome.
INCREDIBLE. Every element from start to finish was great. The petite steak was absolutely great and the salads were so full of flavour and interesting. The highlight was the dessert where no matter what you try is a win.
A solid, fine dining experience. A bit (ok alot) excessive on the menus but good food, good portions.
From start to finish our dinner was wonderful. Staff was warm and cheerful. Normand was on the floor taking orders and chatting with customers. The wild boar ribs made us groan and we soaked up the sauce with bread to get more of it. The wild mushroom soup was delicious. The onion soup impressed the boyfriend who hates onion soup. I had rack of lamb and loved it. It melted in my mouth. Boyfriend had the elk/bison/kangaroo. Very good, the kangaroo was unlike anything we've had before. I also found a new favorite chardonnay.
Been here many times, never a bad meal!
I was impressed by the quality of the service especially to find out that Normand himself serving my table!!! He was absolutely amazing, the timing of serving the food and the way they care about every small detail to make you comfortable and happy. Regarding food, it was delicious and something new I tried. Their menu has a lot of good options and I highly recommend their seafood selection. I would definitely come back and great job! I would recommend this location
Great food and wonderful service.
I have had dinner and lunch here on multiple occasions with my girlfriend; being a cook and a fan of classic french cuisine I'm always impressed. The atmosphere at Normand's has me feeling relaxed. It isn't plain and sleek like a lot of modern restaurants but this is where I see it's charm. As for the service, it has always been great. I have been seated by the owner multiple times, & the other wait staff are pleasant; always happy to share any information about the food. Who knew there was such a nice place right here in Edmonton? Note: I can't see how people can leave mediocre reviews about the menu size. For a restaurant to have such a large menu and still provide quality is incredibly impressive to me. A big menu is okay as long as it is something doable by the kitchen staff. Considering my friend had kangaroo and thought it some of the best meat he's ever had, I am definitely impressed.
Me and girlfriend came in from fort McMurray I had Alaskan eggs benny she had traditional breakfast best eggs benny I've ever had nothing in fort mcmurray comes close will be back again delicious
Service
Very delicious! Best roasted duck ever! Highly recommend to eat here.
Great knowledgeable service, an interesting menu and taste too mach!
Excellent service! Menu is amazing and the wine list is top notch. Highly recommend
A very nice setting on Jasper Avenue. Wonderful friendly staff !
(Translated) Very nice restaurant. Quality and good service. (Original) Restaurante muy agradable. Calidad y buen servicio.
Excellent service and absolutely delicious meals! We will be back!
Awesome time at Normand's. Service was second to none, food was absolutely amazing, and they were able to make a special evening even more special.
Very good. Made a reservation very late the night before and was accommodated. All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making for an excellent experience. All food was very good - the crocodile skewers and chocolate mousse stood out the most! The lamb was also excellent, and the server helped me pair it well with an appropriate wine. The bread that preceded the meal was superb, and the butter served with it was unique and tasty (had chives mixed in). Will definitely visit again - would like to try their escargot, carpaccio, and frog legs, and perhaps one of their seafood specialties. Would recommend to anyone!
Excellent
Always something interesting and delicious to try! Not sure if I’ve ever seen camel steak on a menu anywhere else?? Great service and drinks as well.
On of my favorite restaurants I've visited in Edmonton so far. The menu features items of wild game, which they prepare to perfection. This plate was a four meat special which included bison, boar, elk, and wild boar bacon. It's definitely on the pricier side of things but well worth it. I wouldn't think much of it based on outside appearance, but this is made up inside and with the food of course. I'll be revisiting as soon as I go back to Edmonton.
The service and the food here is fantastic. The brunch item Alaska Eggs Benedict and the coffee is top-notch.
Our favorite place for special dinners. The bison ribs with Saskatoon berry glaze are the best.
They serve big dishes and for fair prices. super nice staff. Fantastic work.
Not the normal fair. Try something different, you won't be sorry.
Very good!
I love this venue very much. there is a very special air. The cuisine is wonderful. the service is effective and the waiters are friendly. The price is modest. greatly recommend.
Great selection of authentic French food, including frogs legs! The wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time and prepared perfectly. Pricing was reasonable for a high end restaurant and very worth it.
Excellent food and staff
Excellent food, service & prices. Been there many a times and will continue to return in the future. 12.29.18. R.Mueller
Always satisfied with the service and food there.
Another spectacular meal at Norman's. Mussels, rack of lamb, pork tenderloin medallions cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Superb eggs Benedict. Fresh grapefruit juice. A delightful breakfast. Also one of the few places in Alberta to serve kangaroo steaks.
Went there to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was great. I had the wild game special which for the day was caribou and wild boar lion served with a slice of wild boar bacon and a saskatoon reduction sauce. I like my meat done rare while one of my dining companions ordered the same but medium rare. Each of our orders was prepared to the requested temperature. Service was great and Normand came by the table to see how we were doing. I will definitely be back again to try more of the expertly prepared wild game.
Incredible food and service. The owner and the staff are so welcoming providing exceptional service.
Good service, good food.
I went with the 10 Star Omelette, it tasted okay; nothing really stuck out and it didn't have much of a flavour to it. However, it was a filling meal and the service was good.Delicious and healthy food as usually the case with most Coras. The service is excellent as well and staff are friendly.
Always outstanding when we eat here. The food is first class cuisine with service to match. The owner & staff truly care about your experience here
Great service, not over bearing but genuine and on point. Attention to detail in the kitchen with good presentation and nice flavours. Entrees are $30-40 which is fair. Only suggestion for them, we received a total of five drink menus, all different, these need to be combined, it was actually a point of laughter as I continued to pass my significant other the multitude of drink menus. It was unfitting to the rest of the polished experience. Will certainly recommend and return.
Great restaurant
The food here was delicious! Loved the lamb dinner. All the food was good my husband steaks were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and very friendly. If we lived here we would come to Normand's often.
I started with frog legs. Never had them before. They were good. I had the wild game special- Elk, wild boar and wild boar bacon. All really good but the bacon was awesome. My friend had seafood pasta. Lots of shrimp and scallops. Portion size and taste was really good. They surprised us with a slice of chocolate cake... really good. Make reservations. Cozy place and had great service . Will go again.
Great food. Good service.
Pretty good.
We went to this restaurant after having an amazing sample at Taste of Edmonton. Every bite of our dishes was absolutely delicious, and perfect portions - not too small and not overwhelming either. Very cozy atmosphere and lighting, and the staff was so very pleasant and helpful. So polite and kind. We will absolutely be going back here! Thank you for a beautiful experience!!
Came here for a late dinner tonight. We were looking for a quiet place with delicious food and we found it! Staff was very friendly, all the food was amazing. We had the mushroom soup, wild meat special and seafood meal. Also the coffee was delicious and the crisp for desert. Really just a top notch place. We will be coming back!
I had the Arctic char with shrimp. It was made gluten free and instead of the cream sauce, the sauce was olive oil with tomatoes and capers! Absolutely, absolutely delicious!!
Fantastic food and service as usual..
Great food, and very attentive serving staff. They must learn by example, as Normand is always there making sure everyone is being looked after.
The food and service here are both amazing. We've tried several things on the menu and nothing has ever disappointed. Normand himself is wonderful, he spends time taking to patrons, making sure everything is up to par. He pays attention to the small details and it shows. I love the fresh flowers. I would highly recommend this restaurant again and again.
Top notch eatery. Not only for their famous suppers but also for their outstanding breakfasts and lunches. Be sure to check out their remarkable wine selection.
Amazing food with a nice selection of wild game meats that are not generally found in restaurants, great service, excellent atmosphere.
Dinner
Absolutely amazing way to treat your partner for birthday dinner! Will always recommend.
I love this resturaunt. They have the best eggs benedict in the city and the atmosphere is calm and quiet. It's the perfect place for Sunday brunch if you are looking for a nice meal. The service is always incredible and the food is of really high quality.
The best wild game in town. A lovely French restaurant that we love to come to when ever we can. Now that we live in Southern AB, this is a special treat when we're in Edmonton. A full spread of meats and deserts tonight. Always leave fully satisfied. It's always wonderful to have interaction with the owner himself.
Very good food. Go for the gamier choices, like bison and boar. They are excellent!
Excellent food and service! Very friendly. Great atmosphere. Highly reccomend.
Expensive but succulent. Amazing traditional French cuisine.
Excellent attentive service and good food. Prices are high but merited. The ambiance is that of a Parisian bistro, and the cuisine is top notch. Would recommend the duck which is very filling.
Normands is celebrating 32 years in business and after our dinner last night, its clear why they have been around for so long. The atmosphere and team were great but the food was stellar. We started with the Bison Carpaccio that was melt in your mouth delicious. I had the lobster, scallops and shrimp baked in a divine cream sauce and my husband indulged in the 12 oz new york with peppercorn sauce and both meals were flavorful and perfectly matched with savory sides and a fresh medley of vegetables. We finished our meal off by sharing a slice of chocolate raspberry truffle tort and it was the perfect end to our decadent dinner. We will absolutely be back. Way to go Normands and congratulations on 32 years of service. Top notch all the way!
It was good
Great food and atmosphere friendly staff made for a great evening out
Amazing game selection - Elk tenderloin specifically was to die for
Wonderful ambiance, service and food
Great service, good food. Appreciate the personal touch.
Amazing! Amazing food! Amazing ambiance! Amazing service! Reasonably priced.
Great meal.
Greatest little place with incredible, personal service.
Great food, awesome service. Will be back.
So worth it. My fiance and I go here for special occasions and always love it. Professional and clean with fantastic food! The owner greets people and is engaged. The staff are great. It is snug but I've really appreciated that it just seems more personal. Parking is a bit of an issue but.... if that's the only thing to complain about it's worth it to go! We will be returning for sure.
Amazing food as always, and fantastic service
Great place for breakfast and dinner
Normand and his staff are incredibly welcoming as well as pretty entertaining. The chefs cooking was on point and we will definitely be back.
This is an excellent fine dining choice in Edmonton. The food is creative, often unique, high quality, and utterly delicious. The wine and scotch selection are very good. Reservations are a must. They will provide added touches for birthdays and other celebrations. The staff are fantastic. The place is quiet and intimate.
The food, atmosphere and service are great!
Excellent. The sauce for Bison steak was very delicious. The sauce was very creative.
Wonderful food and Norman & the staff are just great.
Wonderful food
Fantastic service and great atmosphere. Oh, the food, right; it was delicious as well! Not the cheapest place but worth every penny. Definitely recommend and we will be back.
Great experience! Dinner was delicious and they were very accommodating!
We have been celebrating New Year's Eve at Normand's for many years but due to the current pandemic situation we opted for takeout and created our own event. The food was the best ever--many thanks to all who created it. We look forward to enjoying dining in at Normand's again in 2022.
Just found a new fav restaurant in the city. Classic old school French Neuveau ! Well done !
Service
Amazing! First time off of reviews and my husband and I will be returning. They even treated us like family or special guests, lol. And the food?! There was nothing we had that I wouldn't order again, however, next time I want to try their many other dishes that looked interesting. Thanks once again for the supper, service was great.
Amazing place, amazing food and amazing manager and waiters. Sent my husband there for his birthday with his friends. Only good things to say. Will go again. Highly recommend.
Amazing food every time we come. Boar ribs, kangaroo and the bison was loved by our table of 5 the other night.
Always a favorite, and a great treat for meat lovers! The staff are wonderful and on pretty much any given night, Normad is there to chat with every table. A+ for the food and A+ for the staff. I recommend the bison ribeye and definitely the mussels and smoked salmon for appetizers!
Friendly staff.
Good sir, your food brought me to tears.
Amazing food;!
Exceptional service, exceptional food. Day or night, never fails. Thank you Norm, Cui, Gregory and Derek for always going above and beyond.
Nice menu...my daughter & really enjoyed the arctic char & halibut &prawn specials. My wife and son enjoyed the steaks. Great soups and appetizers. Would go again sometime for special celebrations or date night.
Great waiter, very attentive and full of stories and suggestions . Perfect venue for an intimate dining experience...
July 2021 At Taste of Edmonton Tried the curry cream with prawns and they're delicious! ????
A lovely friend invited myself and my husband out to dinner at Normand's, and I am glad he did! I can't believe I had never been before. The menu has a lot of wonderful selections on it. Escargot, Frogs Legs and Wild Boar Ribs are available as appetizers. Alaskan King Crab, Veal and Lamb are available for entree`s. We were lucky enough to be able to sample the wild game menu that some of the other reviews were mentioning. I got the Bison and Ostrich platter. The meat was cooked perfectly, just the way I like it. Tender and juicy. My husband had the Wild Boar Ribs (entree) and was raving about how good it was. The owner came around to our table to check on us personally a few times. What a nice touch! Normand's is fine dining in a wonderfully inviting, laid back atmosphere. It would be a great place to celebrate an anniversary or a birthday.
My all time favourite place for wild game. The food is amazing, portion size is good, price fair and service is good. They are really understanding and accommodating with request for sides substitutions.A great place for good food and conversations whether it's for date night or with a bigger group.
I have been coming here for 20 years whenever I am in Edmonton. Classic French cuisine done the way it should be. Delicate seasoning fresh ingredients (the Arctic Char was unbelievably fresh) and a simple preparation. Break out of the steel and glass mega chains and treat yourself to this place. After 29 years you gotta think they are doing something right...and they are. And yes...there is a Normand...i am sure you will meet him Note: I saw a scathing review here and I can only think that it is some sad joke because none of what was complained about has ever been my experience in the 20 years (mentioned above) of coming here .
I went to this restaraunt for my anniversary and it did not disappoint. First impression: professional staff. They treated us with great manners and happiness as they served us throughout our stay. Second impression: setting is very intimate, with low lighting and tables not to close together. It is a small restaurant, so there was no large, noisy party groups. Music was quiet and classy - no pop rock or rap, just instrumental. The layout and decor felt dated but it did not take away from our experience. Last impression: the food was nothing short of astounding. Our appetizers, entrees, dessert, and drinks were all provided quickly and were scrumptiously hot on arrival. I highly recommend the kangaroo tenderloin and wild boar ribs. Thank you Normands for a wonderful evening in my anniversary!
The service was very, very good. The food was delicious but not "uniquely exceptional." Ambience was good and we would definitely go here again for a nice occasion! The bill was $150-$200, so pricey but not very very expensive.
Great food...friendly atmosphere. We will definitly be going back.
Always great service and great food, comfort food and a few surprises, most people I've talked to have a dish they think of when I mention Normands, exotics meat, steak, mussels night, crab quiche are just a few favourites without even mentioning the wine choices and desserts
