    Darling Wine Bar is, without a doubt, my favorite little gem! Last night, we switched it up from shareables to main dishes (though we couldn’t resist the PEI oysters—so fresh and delicious), and every bite was incredible. The ambiance was perfect as always, and my leadership group absolutely loved it. From the expertly curated wine selection to the attentive service and outstanding food, everything was flawless. Huge thanks to the owners ( <3 ) and staff for consistently delivering perfection—this place never misses!

    The food was incredible, the ambiance was quiet and intimate, the service was prompt and friendly. The oysters were the perfect appetizer and the pork chop was excellent in both flavour and portion. Will be back!!!

    Always a great dining experience, chef Ty continues to provide varying menus with amazing new and unexpected flavour experiences. It’s rarely the same dining experience twice, but it’s always incredibley delicious, and well priced for the gourmet quality and portion size. We also appreciate that the menu caters to so many occasions, from brunch, to a quick snack with a few small shared plates before or after a show, to a full multiple-course dinner experience. Highly recommended. The cocktails are also excellent, and the wine offerings are definitely fun and I’d say rather unique to Edmonton.
