North 53 - Edmonton

The drinks are absolutely out of this world. The smoke and oak is phenomenal. Haven't tried the food but hands down some of the best cocktails in town. read more The drinks are absolutely out of this world. The smoke and oak is phenomenal.

I left with all my clothes sticking to me. We ordered the fresh pasta, mushroom 'steak ' and gnocchi, popcorn chicken, and carrot cake French toast with London fog ice cream for dessert. The fresh pasta was good but it wasn 't anything special. It came with a tomato sauce a little bit of some sort of cheese. It was pretty simple and lacked flavour. The mushroom 'steak ' with gnocchi, which is a portobello mushroom and contains no steak, was absolutely incredible. So so good. It was bursting with flavour and made us same 'mmm ' with every bite. The popcorn chicken was meh. It kinda tastes like a fried chicken ball you would get at a Chinese food restaurant. We got the dill sauce to go with the popcorn chicken and the sauce was really good. Lastly, the carrot cake French toast with London fog ice cream was incredible. The French toast was soft and flavourful, and the ice cream was so good I could have ate a whole bowl of it. Together, it was a magical duo. The service was very good as well, and I always had water in my class. Overall, I would definatly recommend north 53.

Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. The drinks were creative and delicious, the ambience was quiet enough to have a conversation but loud enough to hear some rad music. And also there were no tv's! Can't wait to go back!
