About the restaurant
AT LA PATRONA, EVERYONE IS FAMILY
& The food is Authentic Mexican Deliciousness
Chef Carlos grew up in Mexico City in a food culture as diverse and unique as any in the world. After leaving Mexico when he was 19, he spent many years working in kitchens across the US and discovering his passion for creating food that everyone can enjoy.
Hard work and dedication through his training at La Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute landed him a highly coveted gig at a Michelin-starred restaurant in California before he finally made his way to Canada.
In Edmonton, Chef Carlos and his business partner - Janette, started the Casa12Doce food truck. Set up for many years, Casa12Doce became not only a staple of the food truck scene but also of the community.
The delicious, authentic food created a following so loyal that when Chef Carlos and Janette decided to open a restaurant in 2016, it did not take long for the place to fill up regularly.

Celebrated a late valentines dinner at Bar Bricco last night. Room was simple, loved the dark atmosphere and music. We had fresh baked focaccia with prosciutto, house ricotta with truffle honey and olive oil, croquettes, agnolotti that you dip in sage butter and parmigiana reggiano, tonnarelli, chile & honey fried chicken dusted with fennel pollen, cacio e Pepe soft scrambled egg crostinis and a beef tenderloin & demi glace with charred Swiss chard & truffle aioli. Food was fantastic and I felt there was good value, no complaints about anything. Fantastic job Bar Bricco!

About the restaurant
vivo is where Italian comes alive. We relish the enthusiasm and joy with which the traditional Italian meal is prepared and delivered, and seek to recreate that experience for every guest. Our open kitchen showcases our chefs preparing fresh and local ingredients.

When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes). Italians often complete their meal with un dolce, un caffe, or un digestivo (dessert, espresso, liqueur or grappa).
we only use fresh in house made pastas and sauces.

The service is always impeccable, and the food was even better than our last visit. So many wonderful flavours to try, and the paella is outstanding. If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is the place.

About the restaurant
Bodega Ellerslie, our first Edmonton location south of the River Valley, is just 15 minutes from the Edmonton International Airport, steps away from Blackmud Creek and surrounded by numerous hotels and head offices.
Our Ellerslie location is the perfect spot for a speedy lunch, drinks afterwork and a night out with friends. With just 60 seats, this space is bright, dynamic with all the little details our properties are known for.
This summer, snag a spot on the patio, and settle in - small plates and paella to share will transport you out of the suburbs and into Spain. This is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant & we kindly ask guests to observe a two hour dining experience on busy nights so we can host as many of our cherished patrons as possible.

For groups over 4, please phone us at (780) 884-5916

We had a very enjoyable evening catching up with friends over dinner. Our server was attentive but not intrusive and we didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was delicious!! Will definitely come back again.

The menu is extensive in its choices, and if you have never experienced Korean BBQ before, it can be intimidating to know what to select. While there are a large number of waiters, they seem to all be constantly on the move. As such, you hate to interrupt them for a long discussion about the menu and what would be best selected. Reservations for 6 p.m. on a long weekend was probably not the best time to explore a new restaurant and a new cuisine for 3 out of the 4 in our group. We chose 3 appetizers, 3 meat servings, and 2 servings of rice. This was slightly more than we needed as it was all tasty, and we probably all overate. Once ordered, the meat/sauces and add-ons came quickly. The appetizers were all prepared fresh and came as we were half way through cooking the meat. So not the traditional way to enjoy a meal. But we made it work and enjoyed it all. The after-dinner drink with ice crystals, complimentary, and a small sweet touch as dessert given once the bill has been settled, was interesting and tasty - but not necessarily the best given the -25C outside. The restaurant keeps a cool temperature, which one does not notice when the grills are heating, the meat is cooking, and the place is packed with patrons. Eliminate all three of these factors and the atmosphere was almost cold - which may be another way to have quick turnover of customers, or not. But it did encourage us to bundle up and head back into the chill of winter.
