The best place in Saskatoon. I was pleasantly surprised by the price. The steak was very juicy, and the mashed potatoes were perfectly smashed without any excess. The service was excellent; the waitress who served us remembered our entire order without writing it down (there were six of us). They brought our order very quickly, even though there were no empty tables.
I recommend it 100%.
P.S. It was a pleasure chatting with the restaurant owners, and thank you for the complimentary dessert.
Celebrated my high school graduation at this fabulous restaurant, we were taken care off really well with all the staff's being really sweet and accommodating. The food here is outstandingly good, every bite is just fascinating. They have a lot of choices for each food category. Applause for the service they have here, I would definitely come back here for special occasions!!
Our family had a great time in this restaurant, with many of us coming here for the first time, we didn't know what to expect. We had reservation so there's no wait. There was still plenty of parking despite it being a weekend night. Many of us ordered their steaks as well as pasta. The steaks were cooked to our liking and no complaints there. The pasta was yummy and very filling. Then we had a coconut pecan brownie cheesecake as well as creme brulee. They were also very good and not that sweet, just like how we preferred them to be. Our server was great, he was always checking in on us and made our family laugh with his humour.
One of the best places to eat in Saskatoon. The restaurant is beautiful, perfect for dates or meetings. The food is always excellent. You must try a different dessert each time. Ive never had bad service there. The portions are not stingy for upscale.
made a reservation at this restaurant after reading many positive reviews and was looking forward to the experience. While there were some positive aspects, overall, the visit did not meet expectations.
Upon arrival, we were seated in the middle of the restaurant where it was quite noisy. I requested a quieter table by the window but was advised the restaurant was fully booked. After ordering, I noticed an available table and followed up. Although the first server did not return, another server later assisted us and kindly accommodated the request.
We began with appetizers. The calamari was well-prepared; however, the chicken wings were overly deep-fried and dry. An alternative appetizer was offered, but it was excessively salty. The same concern applied to the lemon rice soup. When feedback was provided, it was explained as the nature of the ingredients, and the response from manager did not feel receptive. His actions and tone of voice is really unpleasant and unprofessional.
For the main course, we ordered a ribeye steak, fish, and shrimp. The dishes were generally flavorful, although the “jumbo shrimp” did not match the description. We acknowledged the quality of the main dishes; however, the wait time was significant, with food arriving over an hour after and half.
When this concern was raised, the response from another staff member felt dismissive, referencing our earlier feedback rather than addressing the delay. This made the overall interaction feel uncomfortable, as our intention was simply to provide honest and constructive feedback.
While the restaurant did not charge for the returned items, that was not our concern. We value good service and quality food, and unfortunately, this experience fell short. Based on this visit, I would not consider returning, but I hope this feedback is received constructively for future improvement.

Alice our waitress was amazing! We had a table of 6 and we all loved the food and atmosphere. This is such a fun spot and honestly everything we had tasted amazing! We had the short rib tacos and beet chips for appetizers and the walleye fish dinner as well as Khao soi bowls which every bite was so flavorful! Would recommend:)
The only word I keep coming back to is: excellent.
First time visiting, ambience and decor was lovely (shout out whoever chose the music tonight it was the perfect vibe). Service was attentive and informative whilst also relaxed which to me is perfect, our server had great knowledge of the menu and made some excellent recommendations. They were also accommodating with moving tables and taking restricted mobility into consideration (I had noted this when booking a table).
We shared the Mushrooms, Gua (Pork Belly) Bao, and Fries to start and then shared the Flank Steak and Karaage Chicken. Holy moly. First off, the mushrooms… could eat a bucket load, they were so delicious. Had me trying to figure out how I could possibly replicate them at home. Pork Bao, amazing flavours immediately in my top 2 bao ever. The Fries were delicious in their own right but honestly got a bit overshadowed by the other two dishes. The Flank Steak was SO good, loved the char on the meat and the freshness of the corn and poblano salsa. The Karaage Chicken had so many flavours going on in the best way possible, each bite discovering a new angle to the dish, amazing. Normally you have a favourite dish, but we couldn’t pick between the two, they were so different and both so delicious.
Before we’d finished eating we were already talking about coming back and who we’d bring with us. 10/10. Love to see restaurants like this here in Saskatoon. Thank you Loqui!
We visited Loqui for a birthday meal and the service we received from Alice was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, especially the gochujang chicken wings! I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion, in particular a birthday. They offer a complimentary dessert (which we were not expecting!) and even give you a signed birthday card from the staff. We'll definitely be back!
10/10 experience! First time in Saskatoon, got recommended this spot. Happy I checked it out. It was the highlight of the trip, so much so I came back twice for dinner!! It’s super spacious, unique menu, food was delicious, and the staff was amazing! Special shout out to Alice for her wonderful and kind service.
I had multiple dishes here that I would recommend
- khao soi
- karagee chicken
- shrimp bao
- shio koji wings
- lentil fries
- tuna tartare
- mushrooms
Will have to come back to Saskatoon for this restaurant
My wife and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary at Loqui. The entire experience was amazing! From entering Loqui the atmosphere was so relaxed and calm. It really felt like a place we want to be. Emma was server and she was fabulous. It was our first time at Loqui and she was a great ambassador that explained the Loqui experience. It is shared. The meal was a superb flavor journey. The presentation of each piece was art. Thank you for the experience! Above and beyond! ( The staff signed an anniversary card for us) So wonderful!

We have had the pleasure of dining at Odd Couple & Sulu over the years and it’s always fantastic through and through. It’s such a gem in our city. The food & drinks are crafted so thoughtfully. Their creative twists on classic Asian dishes are always so fun to try and we know there will always be great service alongside the delicious food.
We were so incredibly grateful to work with Andy and his wonderful team for our wedding catering and like always, they hit it out of the park. Andy was extremely accommodating and made the experience feel so seamless. He helped us curate the dinner & midnight lunch menu and handled any dietary restrictions so easily. People were raving about the food all night and we have had so many compliments from our guests. The portions were always extremely generous and we have been enjoying them for the whole week following the wedding as well. We cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking for catering at their wedding or any other event!
Odd Couple & Sulu will always hold such a special place in our hearts and we always look forward to dining at either of them any chance we can get!
A fantastic Thai fusion restaurant (for anywhere, but definitely a star for Saskatoon). Went last night and got their seasonal set menu. Just delicious. Really nice spread, at a very reasonable price. I’m not sure what was my favourite - the lemon grass wraps were excellent, but I think it has to be the Green Thai Curry…. Or the Drunken Noodles… haha. Good sized portions, a little heat but not very spicy, left very full and happy. Excellent service too. We’ll be back.
The food really is great here, ordered the wontons for appies and the Beef Tenderloin with Coconut Rice and Crying Tiger Beef Skewers for mains, they were all very delicious! The Beef Tenderloin lived up to its name and was indeed very tender and packed with flavour!
Ambiance was nice, it’s a pretty cramped space so the ambient noise from lively chatter is indeed very noticeable and the music is not on deafening levels so i’d say it has its own charm.
Sidnote, not a criticism, but their chilli oil does have shrimp paste mixed with it. It was delicious but just a heads up for people with allergies and or issues about shellfish(?)
Overall, had a great experience here, will definitely go back time and time again!
Wonderful atmosphere with classy decor and friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Our server was very pleasant and able to offer recommendations with our non spicy preferences in mind. Food arrived to our table in great time and was absolutely mouth watering. Drunken noodles and bacon fried rice with a starter of the crab rangoon. Everything was delicious, but the star of the night was that appy. I will definitely be back again.
We had an excellent dinner here. It's the kind of food that you hold in your mouth for an extra moment to savour all of the flavours. I wish we had tried this place earlier in our trip so that we could have enjoyed a second meal. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures first!

Came in at 2pm on a Thursday afternoon. Immediately greeted by waitress. Gave us our choice of seating. Inside or outside. We sat inside. Food was so delicious. Husband can eat a fair amount and he pleased. We ordered Pork Cartina Tacos and Surf and Turf tacos. Very quick. Great presentation. I also ordered a Brazilian Lemonade coconut flavored. Worth it.
Very nice little cafe with vibrant atmosphere. You get to order and pay at the counter hence more of self check in service which is very efficient. You get your order brought up to the table when ready. The food is delicious. I really loved their corn bread. The best I ever had. It can feel overcrowded as it's quite small but overall the ambience is very good for quick meet up, lunch or a coffee date.
Top notch flavours and great service! Pictured are the brisket mac and cheese, surf n turf salad, chicken burrito bowl, and burnt ends. I also enjoyed the jalapeño lemonade. 11/10 experience.
They cater too!
We’ve been here several times and have ordered the brisket, tacos, mac and cheese, baked beans, burnt ends, and a few other things I can’t remember.
Most recently, we ordered the smash burger and fiesta chips. We’ve had the fiesta chips before and they’ve always been really good, and they were this time as well, except the sauce was used pretty sparingly so it ended up feeling like mostly corn chips.
The smash burger was good, but compared to other smash burgers I’ve had, I’d say it was comparable in quality while carrying a higher price tag. Overall, I’d still come back for the brisket, baked beans, burnt ends, and mac and cheese, but for smash burgers I’d probably choose other places where they’re just as good, or better, at a more reasonable price. I have no issue paying more for a great burger, but this one just didn’t quite reach that level for me.
I had a great experience at Bistro on B! From the moment I arrived, the owner opened the door for me and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The girl at the front counter was also super pleasant and provided excellent service.
I ordered the brisket mac & cheese, and it was absolutely amazing—easily a 10/10. The food was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care.
Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

This is hands down of the best restaurants in Saskatoon. I am from Montreal, and let me tell you, I felt like home after eating at Hearth. The staff are welcoming, the vibes are warm, and the restaurant is not too loud, thus allowing you to hear your partner. We started off with 2 Negronis, fennel sausage with polenta, mushroom dish, and for the main course we had the sea bass and the lamb cooked 3 ways. And for desert we tried the Sasktoon apple/berries pie, and the carrot cake. Everything we had was just pure amazing. Explosion of tastebuds. It was so good, that I forgot to take a picture of the main courses, because we were so excited to eat it. Highly recommend, it is a must visit in Sasktoon!! 5 stars for me!
We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at Hearth Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The tasting menu was a true culinary treat—beautifully prepared, full of bold and balanced flavour combinations, and clearly built around high-quality ingredients. It offers excellent value for the level of creativity and execution.
Service was equally impressive: Katrina, and all the staff were, courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient without ever feeling rushed.
If you’re considering the 5-course option, do yourself a favour and add the mushrooms—they are not to be missed.
This is easily one of Saskatoon’s best dining experiences.
March 2026:
Recently went here for brunch with 4 other people! We were in for a long day and decided to get some good food is us.
I got the Trout Cake Benny ($18) and Apple Cinnamon Tea Latter ($5). My friends got some chai lattes ($5 each), Chia Chia Puddings ($8 each), London Fog ($5), Dark Forest Feature Latte ($6.5), the mushroom skillet ($22) and the Brisket Benedict Brunch Feature ($20).
We were all very impressed with how our drinks tasted. Some mentioned they wish their drinks weren’t made with tea bags but enjoyed it anyways. The Black Forest latte was an absolute hit and everyone wished they had ordered it instead. Tasted like cake! A direct quote “This unfortunately kicks ass.” And “unreal”. Their milk was very creamy and frothy with the drinks, which was a win in my eyes.
As for food, things were a hit and miss. My friend got the Eggs Benedict special and I regretted not getting the same. It was really good! Chia Pudding was also noted to be delicious and healthy.
I unfortunately was disappointed with my dish. It was 80% low salt potatoes, 19% eggs and 1% trout. There was barely any trout in my cakes. The rest of the cakes were potatoes and breading. This was a big disappointment as I’ve had amazing crab and shrimp risotto cakes as Poached. Not worth the money, I don’t recommend and the potatoes needed salt.
My friend also would not recommend her Mushroom Skillet. The best way she described it was simply “wet” and “needed acidity”. Near the end of eating it, it became a salty mush that wasn’t very appetizing.
It’s a beautiful location, they have good ingredients and they have potential... But looking around the room, every dish was a sea of beige or brown. More than half the breakfast menu was served with those barely salted hash browns. I wish the food had more colours and/or more options… especially considering this restaurant is literally in an art gallery. I would visit again, though I would prefer to visit when they revamp their menu.
I was lucky enough to get a table without a reservation. The mushroom dish was decadent without being too much. The server Saher was very pleasant and made sure that the services flowed. She even offered me a sample of the orange wine so that I could be sure if it was to my liking before ordering a whole glass. After supper, I waddled (lol!) thru the Remai Modern to burn off a few calories. The restaurant and the gallery were truly a wonderful combination to finish off my trip to Stoon.
A very pleasant experience with great service , however the food was a bit of a let down. I had the fish fry, which was very tasty (especially the trout) but the crispy pork was very disappointing. Super dry. And the vegetables were quite bitter that they took over. I’d give it another try.

It was our first time at Goblin's Grill, and we'll definitely be back! The food was amazing, and the shakes and fries were some of the best we've ever had.
We tried the Cinnamon Toast Shake and the Strawberry Shake, and both were perfect—thick, creamy, and not overly sweet. The home-cut fries were perfectly crispy, and the garlic fries were loaded with fresh garlic on top, which made them even better.
Next time, we'd love to try the falafel and the beet potato patty. The decor is so unique and adds to the whole experience.
Highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back again!
If you’re looking for a juicy, delicious burger made exactly the way you like it, The Rink Burgers,with the freedom to customize every detail, look no further than Goblin Grill!
Their burgers are absolutely amazing, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients that you can really taste in every bite. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the restaurant is always spotless and inviting.
You also have to try their milkshakes,they’re absolutely delicious and definitely worth it! The fries come in generous portions, but my favorite is their garlic fries. The combination of garlic, butter, and fresh herbs makes them incredibly flavorful and completely irresistible.
Every time we visit Goblin Grill, we leave happy and satisfied. It’s one of our favorite places for burgers, and I highly recommend giving it a try. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Goblin’s Grill is absolutely one of my new favorite burger spots in Saskatoon!
The portion sizes were generous, and the burgers were creative, unique, and packed with flavor. We ordered the White Rabbit and Beet Down burgers, along with banana pie milkshakes and fries. Both burgers were excellent—fresh, well-made, and clearly prepared with care. The quality of the ingredients really stood out.
The banana pie milkshake was a highlight of the meal and is definitely a must-try. It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The fries tasted great as well, although they were served in a cup inside a bag, which caused them to become a bit soggy after a while.
The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. The seating was comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I also appreciated the condiment station, where customers can help themselves instead of needing to ask staff repeatedly for sauces or extras.
One thing that particularly impressed me was the attention to cleanliness and food safety. I noticed staff washing their hands after preparing each burger, which gave me a lot of confidence in their hygiene practices.
The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for creative burgers, great milkshakes, and a welcoming atmosphere!
My nth time going here. This is my favorite restaurant in Saskatoon. I never leave without visiting this place. This time we ordered for take-out the Double Rink Burger with Goblin's sauce, lettuce, grilled mushroom, tomatoes and cheddar cheese, the Poutine, the Alpha Dog, and the Cookies and Cream Milkshake. They have the best burgers! My son always gets the milkshakes. Love this place and love the very friendly staff.
What a great spot! I’ve heard great things about Goblin Grill on socials, and decided to stop by for lunch. Despite the line to the door when we entered, we were sitting and eating within half an hour. The food was fresh and delicious, and the fries are some of the best we’ve ever had! They certainly don’t skimp on their burgers - they were almost too large to eat, and a GREAT price! I’ve eaten burgers half the size, for twice the price. The milkshakes were perfect, and a great addition to our already calorically-dense meal! 🤣

Food was excellent. My wife and I were here for a 1 year anniversary supper and we were both very impressed. We both started with a glass of wine then we had the chicken parmigiana bites for a starter, followed by the gnocchi tre salse for myself and the fetucini ragu for her. Both dishes were great tasting and well made. Finished off with a tiramasiu which was also excellent. Our waiter was awesome and kept checking on us and seeing if we were enjoying it. 10/10 meal and service
Dinner at La Mulanza this evening was nothing short of sublime. Having arrived in Saskatoon this afternoon on a family trip from Regina, we chose this restaurant to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary — and what transpired became an unforgettable culinary experience for all the right reasons.
We were a party of six, including two young girls, and from the very outset the evening was marked by warmth and hospitality. We had reserved our table in advance, and the gentleman at reception graciously escorted us to a comfortable table near the kitchen, which surprisingly added a lively and intimate charm to the atmosphere.
Then came the true magic of the evening: our hostess, Lauryn. She was absolutely enchanting — poised, personable, attentive, and genuinely eager to guide us through the menu with remarkable patience and enthusiasm. Her presence elevated the entire dining experience; engaging without ever being intrusive, she struck that rare and impeccable balance that defines exceptional hospitality.
Our table enjoyed soup, two appetizers, and three main courses, and every single dish was executed with astonishing finesse. As someone who considers himself a devoted foodie and who has sampled Italian cuisine across numerous countries and continents, I can say without hesitation that this was among the finest — if not the very finest — Italian meals we have ever experienced.
While every item was exquisite, the unequivocal masterpiece of the evening was the “Spaghetti Al Limone e Pepe.” It was extraordinary: vibrant, perfectly balanced, deeply flavourful, and unforgettable in its elegance and simplicity.
Equally impressive was the efficiency of the kitchen. Despite the restaurant being lively, every course arrived promptly and impeccably presented.
By the end of the evening, our entire group unanimously agreed that this was the best Italian dining experience we had ever enjoyed. We departed thoroughly satisfied, deeply impressed, and grateful that such a meaningful family celebration was made even more special by the remarkable team at La Mulanza.
I would recommend this restaurant without the slightest hesitation to anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine paired with refined hospitality and an atmosphere of genuine warmth.
Very pleasant experience from the staff to the food. Lauryn, our waitress was very good at making sure we were enjoying all aspects of our meal (checking in on all 4 courses). Had a great time with our private group function - restaurant closed to others so we could enjoy our evening dining. I would definitely recommend La Milanza.
Our first experience here, service was top notch. Great ambiance, smallish venue, felt very cozy. The food was absolutely delish, hot, and portions were generous. All four of us were very happy with our choices.
My first time dining at La Milanza and it was excellent. The food was delicious and the service provided was amazing. Cassandra was great - friendly, helpful and next level customer service! I highly recommend if you are in Saskatoon and want a great Italian place to dine to check it out.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most popular,and I can confidently say one of the best,Mexican restaurants in Saskatoon.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll love the beautiful décor and vibrant atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for their delicious cocktails, refreshing drinks, or their incredible tacos and authentic Mexican dishes, you won’t be disappointed.
If you’re not sure what to order, I highly recommend starting with the Coconut Shrimp appetizer. It’s absolutely amazing and something I order almost every time I visit.
I’ve been here many times over the years, and the food has always been consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious. This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Saskatoon, and I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t regret it!
One more spectacular review for an extra special, locally owned Mexican restaurant in Saskatoon! My fav are the classic margarita happy hour from 2-4pm nearly every single day. They sometimes have fancy marg specials too like smokey or spicy or strawberry. Sweet potato fries are so good and I ask for rancho-queso dip but it usually comes with a Dijon dip.
Their mole sauce is amazing. Refried beans amazing. Everything is so good!
There are three main areas in the restaurant and in each of them the atmosphere is everything you could ask for and more. Truly feels like a tropical resort with rich colours and heritage art.
Such a charming restaurant with full-on Mexico vibes - the music, the colours and the staff too. Tacos were excellent, packed full of flavours. Will definitely come back when I get the chance!
The coconut shrimp was absolutely delicious, and the tacos were just amazing 🌮felt like I was actually in Mexico🇲🇽 enjoying real tacos. The whole place has such a beautiful vibe, and the food overall is full of flavor. Definitely worth trying at least once.The prices are very reasonable too, which makes it even better. Highly recommend👌🏻
We've had a great experience here!
The food is consistently good, and the service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is also really nice, with a warm and inviting decor. We've enjoyed our visits here and would definitely recommend it to others.
It's a great spot for a night out or a special occasion.
Overall, we're happy customers!🤩

SOOO GOOD! A humble, newer restaurant in the city. They're just getting up and running, but their food is fresh and the flavours are amazing.
The owner is from Bangladesh and trained as a chef in Portugal. His dishes are a blend of both cuisines. Portions are good for the price. Highly recommend!
I went with my family and we got:
>veggie samosas - DELICIOUS
>Le Preston (chicken & rice bowl) - great!!
>Le Chris (beef & rice bowl) - great!!
>Falafel bowl - good but falafel is a little dry. Could use more sauce
>Veggie burger - great taste, though the patty is slim so not super filling on its own. I'd recommend the combo
>Chicken burger - sister liked it, brother said it was mid
>Egg tarts - good!!
>Chai tea - great!!!! not sure why they don't have it on their menu but the owner offered it and it really hit the spot
This place has been by far one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in Saskatoon in a really long time. The owner was really really kind to and was recommending multiple options too. We ordered lots of food, enough to have leftovers but let’s just say no crumbs were left. Owner came back and gave samosas on the house too! Definitely would come back!!
Had a great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous.
Definitely one of the best places to enjoy Portuguese food in Saskatoon. I’ll be coming back
Hidden gem! Ordered the double cheeseburger, chicken samosas and a chicken bowl (can’t remember the name, picture is attached). Patties were juicy and the burger had a lot of flavour. The chicken on the bowl was cooked perfectly. The samosas were amazing. The restaurant isn’t fancy but don’t let it deter you from sitting in and having a meal. The owner is so gracious.
Stopped in for a single burger, left TOO full!
Owner is extremely friendly, wanted me to try the Natas. (HIGHLY recommend!)
Food was delicious, hand made burgers and fresh veggies. I’ll be back for sure.

Had a great time celebrating our anniversary at Chop! Food was delicious, waitress was fantastic - she took excellent care of us. We even got a free round of prosecco. The food was delicious! Though, to be honest, we could’ve waited a little longer for things to come to our table as we almost felt a little rushed for turnover. It’s tough to complain when service and food are fast and efficient, though we definitely would’ve enjoyed more cocktails if we felt we had the time.
I came here after reading the reviews and was hoping it would be a pleasant surprise. The environment is nice, the service is very good, and the ingredients seem fresh and of good quality. However, I wasn’t very satisfied with the steak. Compared with steaks I’ve had before, it didn’t taste as outstanding as the reviews suggested. I hope it can be improved in the future.
We had such a wonderful experience at CHOP Steakhouse & Bar!
From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel genuinely welcome. Since it was our first visit, they surprised us with a complimentary welcome appetizer, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We were also celebrating my son’s 10th birthday, and they truly made it special. The staff prepared a handwritten birthday card signed by the team and surprised him with a complimentary birthday dessert. Those thoughtful gestures meant so much to us.
A special thank you to Taylor, our server, who was absolutely amazing! She was warm, attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit.
The food was excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked in tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and perfect for a family celebration.
Amazing food, exceptional service, and heartfelt hospitality. Thank you, Taylor, and the entire CHOP team for making our son’s birthday so memorable. We will definitely be back! ❤️
Chop is easy to enjoy .. even with a large group of 13! The service was exceptional - friendly, professional and just the right amount of checking in. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly - many different plates from chicken to steaks and all delicious. The drinks were cold, the dessert was a nice finish to our meal.
We were so busy enjoying company and Mother’s Day I didn’t think to take pictures of the food .. but just look at these desserts 🤣.
Excellent food, excellent service. First time going and based off of this meal, I would go back and would recommend to others. Ordered Birra Spring Rolls for an appetizer. Those were full of flavor - kinda reminded me of taquitos. Ordered a New York strip loin and loaded baked potato with veggies for the main. Steak was seasoned and seared to perfect doneness. The Peppercorn sauce was a nice add on as well.

Had such a great experience at Little Grouse! The food, drinks, service, and overall vibe were all amazing. Some of the plates are on the smaller side portion-wise, but everything we tried tasted so good that it didn’t even matter. The staff are incredibly friendly and really helpful with wine and drink pairings, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend making a reservation in advance!
I was craving Italian food, so I decided to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint.
I ordered the crispy polenta and panna cotta. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The food was beautifully prepared, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made it a truly enjoyable evening.
This is clearly a popular spot, so making a reservation is highly recommended. On my next visit, I plan to grab a seat overlooking the kitchen to watch the chefs cooking live.
We had the 7 course tasting menu. It came with two appetizers, risotto, 3 pastas, and dessert. We left stuffed and all of the hand made pastas were delicious!
Three of us had the opportunity to try this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. You can see how wonderful the food looked, but you can’t taste how delicious it was — everything was amazing! The prices to quantity and quality seemed reasonable for a high end establishment. The atmosphere was cozy, trendy, and so clean and comfortable — the type of place you can go with girlfriends or a business meeting. Our server was Greta, and she was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The only reason the I took one star off the service was that at the end of our meal we were just finishing up when Greta mentioned there was another seating coming within 20 minutes. This does not bother me, however the delivery was awkward and ended with the words, “I wish I didn’t have to kick you out.” This is an area available for improvement in customer communication - especially when it is regular practice for the restaurant to schedule seatings. I should not have left with the feeling of being kicked out. However, I would not have had that feeling if it had not been stated that way by the server. Instead, perhaps let customers know at the time of making the reservation or take a brief moment to outline the expectation in a courteous manner before taking drink orders. Regardless, I hope to be back in the near future to dine at this local gem!
Amazing experience! My husband and I finally enjoyed a long-overdue date night and had been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time. We chose the 7-course tasting menu, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Every dish was absolutely delicious, we never wanted the plates to stop coming!
The cocktail menu was creative and tasty, and even the zero-proof options were outstanding. The service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the entire evening feel special from start to finish.
We left already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for a memorable date night or special occasion! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely loved my experience at Darbar in Saskatoon! I had the vegetarian thali for $13.99 and it was an incredible value for the amount and quality of food you get. Every bite was delicious.
The naan was pillow soft, and the shahi paneer literally melted in my mouth. The chole were just alright compared to the rest, but honestly everything else made up for it easily. The thali also came with a sweet dish, raita, plain basmati rice, salad, plus a flavourful samosa and chutney. It felt like a complete and satisfying meal.
For the price, the quantity is absolutely worth every penny. On top of the great food, the restaurant was very clean, had a nice ambiance, and the service was excellent.
Will definitely be coming back again to try the mango lassi!
Stopped by while downtown for dinner and was blown away by this place! The staff were very friendly and they had a deal for a $40 dinner for two including samosas, two curries, rice, and gulab jamun. We ended up going for the lamb korma and chicken jalfrezi for our curries and everything was really delicious and flavourful. And the gulab jamun was out of this world. Will definitely be back again!
Excellent food, friendly quick service, clean dining area, and location is middle of downtown. The server was open to making recommendations when I asked and breaking down the menu for me.
Started with the Samosa Chaat and it was an explosion of flavour, the sauces despite being drastically different flavour profiles complimented as opposed to competed. Moved on to the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan side, another burst of flavour. I asked for medium-spicy, came out at exactly the heat level I expected. All of the food came out timely and piping hot. Chicken was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. The mango lassi was refreshing, tasty, and helped off-set the strong spice of the app and main, a must-get to accompany your meal.
Parking may be a bit tricky during rush hour times but at the time I arrived, just prior to lunch, I was able to find a spot without much issue.
Highly recommend for any fans of Indian cuisine and flavours, I also noticed on their menu they have an Indo-Chinese fusion section as well for the fusion fans out there.
“While passing through, we decided to visit Darbar, which is just an 18-minute drive from the airport. The food was excellent, exactly what we were looking for. The service was outstanding, and the gentleman who served us was very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely visit again!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent food and excellent service… very tasty food ., i tried chicken rogan josh with garlic naan. Chicken tikka kabaab awesome

The atmosphere was nice. We were very comfortable in our booth and not being dresses up. Our server was very nice, and attentive. The food to me was just okay. It was enjoyable, but overpriced for what it was. It felt more like a nostalgic place people go because they have been for years, and the food was a bit old fashioned, like they knew they were serving the same customers as 40 years ago.
I enjoyed the atmosphere, as always. 8th street is a lovely reprieve. Candace was our server, she was really on point. She had this look about her that insisted a sense of humbleness accompanied by the firm assurance indicative of the nature of hospitality of the past. No room for antics. Overall, I enjoyed the popularity of the place. Yet the window seats have the glass dividers that seemed s bit Covid Era related. Perhaps a slight tint design could drastically send a less industrial imposition.
Ordered the weekend exclusive prime rib, which came out quite perfect as medium rare. The main concern was the huge chunks of unrendered fat which was inedible, but I think even with that taken out it was 14 Oz so I won't doc too many points there. For the price though, it's not exceptional.
Lemon rice soup was a great starter, but I'd advise against the lemon potato as a main carb as it wasn't very lemony in flavour.
Service was attentive and my water rarely sat empty.
Mano’s on 8th offers a comfortable neighbourhood dining experience, and the lamb chops stood out. They were well cooked with a nice char, tender inside, and nicely seasoned. The portion was satisfying and fit the overall relaxed feel of the restaurant. A solid choice if you’re in the area and craving lamb done right.
The server we had was named Leena and she was a gem of a server and person she is very personable likeable and very caring. We really enjoyed our visit with her and she took the time to listen to some of the struggles that we’re having right now and gave great advice and my four girls loved her including my husband and I will definitely be back and hopefully Lena will be working. The food was phenomenal. Top notch as always ambiance was perfect. We had a lot of privacy. It was quiet. It was a great place to have Hannah‘s 21st birthday and send off to Morgan wallen in Minneapolis, thank you for such a great meal and environment!

Great service and wonderful ambiance but it fails when it comes to the pizza. Having eaten dip dish pizzas many times in the US, this one is rather below average in taste, unfortunately.
It is not a place to recommend for a pizza. We were 4 ppl ordering 2 different pizzas and we reached the same conclusion: Maybe a great spot to grab a drink and an appetizer but AVOID the pizza.
Had an awesome experience here this afternoon. The food is seriously great. The Detroit-style pizza is loaded with delicious toppings and sauce, and finished with that perfectly crispy edge. They also brew their own beer, and I tried the pale ale; it had a great aroma and tasted fresh. We also ordered the maple gochujang wings and they were amazing—the sauce works so well and is incredibly flavourful. Last but not least, the servers were super helpful and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!
This place is truly the best new restaurant to hit Saskatoon. The ambience is great, the food is even better and the staff is so damn friendly.
Their lunch menu is a real sleeper. Pop in for a $10 slice and sleeve of draft. Or enjoy any of their amazing sandwiches.
It’s incredible for dinner as well but bring an appetite and consider coming early. She fills up fast!
Was very impressed with quality of Detroit style pizza here. Nice to see different options for pizza in Saskatoon finally. Definitely coming back. Didn't have drinks but there was a big list of local craft beer to try and offsale to take home.
We came here after two other restaurants were completely full with long wait times. Turns out third time’s the charm! This pizza is heavy, delicious, and provides you with lots of leftovers. The dipping sauces you can order for an extra price are great; the black pepper garlic sauce was our favourite. The prices are very reasonable with huge portions. And the service is great, shoutout to Cody!

10/10 absolutely amazing Afghan food. My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. It is very clear the food is made fresh and in house. The service was also fantastic, the owner and her son were amazing hosts. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing restaurant. Excellent rice dishes and very tender lamb. Highly recommended.
Amazing spot for big families!
We came with a large group, and unlike most places in Saskatoon, they handled us with ease.
The warm service, cozy floor seating, and delicious food made it a great experience. Favorites were the Kabuli Pulao, Beef Tikkas, Shami Kababs, and Lamb Chops.
Highly recommend!
First time at kabuli afghan cuisine on a Sunday evening The pulao was excellent and the Doogh was though like “Chanch” had some different unique taste Next Sunday I will try their beef kabab The host and chef were very helpful and courteous The helping was very large and should be good for at least 2 people. I requested for extra green chillies which was given to me and I enjoyed the food quality and taste
Tried Afghan food again and it was absolutely worth it! The lamb shank was tender and flavorful, with fragrant rice and just the right spices. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked! crispy on the outside, juicy inside! Generous portions, hearty flavors, and such a satisfying meal! Will come back again 😆😆😆
Tips for Choosing the Right Restaurant in Saskatoon
Saskatoon’s dining scene is diverse, but selecting the perfect spot requires a bit of local knowledge. Whether you are a visitor trying to experience the city’s best flavors or a local looking to try something new, understanding the rhythm of the city can significantly enhance your meal. From timing your visit to exploring specific culinary neighborhoods, a little planning goes a long way.
Book Ahead for Peak Hours: The best restaurants in Saskatoon often fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during the summer tourist season. If you have your heart set on a specific spot, making a reservation a few days in advance is highly recommended. This is particularly true for smaller, intimate venues where seating is limited.
Embrace the Farm-to-Table Movement: Saskatchewan is a major agricultural hub, and the best chefs take full advantage of this. When looking at menus, prioritize dishes that highlight regional ingredients like lentils, bison, pickerel, and haskap berries. Eating seasonally here means you are getting the freshest possible flavors that the prairie has to offer.
Explore the Broadway Avenue District: While excellent restaurants are scattered throughout the city, the Broadway Avenue area is a hotspot for independent eateries. Walking this neighborhood allows you to window-shop menus and feel the local vibe before committing to a table. It is the perfect area for a progressive dinner or a casual stroll after your meal.
Check for Local Craft Pairings: The beverage program is just as important as the food. Many top-tier restaurants in Saskatoon feature extensive lists of local craft beers and spirits. Asking your server for a local pairing is a great way to support the community and discover unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
Be Open to International Flavors: While you might be looking for classic Canadian cuisine, do not overlook the city’s impressive international scene. Saskatoon has a rich cultural tapestry, resulting in outstanding Vietnamese, Ukrainian, and Indian restaurants. These spots often offer some of the most authentic and satisfying meals in the city.
Dining out in Saskatoon is about more than just eating; it is about experiencing the character of the prairies. The restaurants on this list represent a commitment to quality that rivals larger metropolitan areas, all while maintaining the warmth and friendliness that Saskatchewan is famous for.
Whether you are stopping in for a single night or planning a week-long stay, prioritizing these dining experiences will give you a true taste of the city. As the culinary scene continues to evolve, these establishments remain the benchmarks for excellence, proving that Saskatoon is a true destination for food lovers.
