Modern European
With a stunningly warm and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a family-run restaurant in Tuscany or Bordeaux, Continental Treat Fine Bistro in Edmonton serves charming continental cuisine. The traditional cheese and potato stuffed pierogis with sour cream and the vegetable-laden red barszcz soup make excellent starter dishes. Some of Continental Treat Fine Bistro's specialty entrée dishes include the marinated pork chop Munich style with smoked sausage and mushrooms in a rich pearl onion sauce, the chicken stroganoff in a creamy tomato sauce with spaetzle, sour cream and diced pickles, the famous Hungarian goulash with tender beef cubes stewed in a rich and fragrant paprika sauce and the rainbow trout with seasoned with lemon, dill and capers, pan fried until crisp and golden. Continental Treat Fine Bistro also serves an excellent array of beers and wines from across the globe; the perfect accompaniment to the hearty and rustic fare.

    Was a very nice evening waitress was great food was served hot and fresh portions were also of decent size . Being gluten free makes life easier for me to choose where to go for dinner as my wife is gluten sensitive all in all a very nice experience

    Our waitress was great, however we were there early, and other staff were loudly complaining about their jobs for everyone to hear. We brought it up to our waitress and she apologized, and promptly dealt with the issue in a very professional manner. A little while later another waitress (the one that had been complaining), decided it was a good time to do some vacuuming. Perhaps a better time would be at the end of the night, or daytime when there’s no guests. The dill pickle soup was very good as usual, and the schnitzel was good, however I don’t quite know if I felt it was quite worth the price. At the end of the day, I think the overall experience was ruined by the lack of professionalism by a single staff member. My chair was also getting a little rickety. Not a huge issue, but the dining room could probably use a little bit of love, but I also understand the hardships/lack of finances after that small family have had over the last few years.

    Excellent food! All gluten free. Quality, taste, service outstanding. Bread is exceptionally good. Pierogis were excellent. Schnitzel fantastic. I've previously had their pork chop (couple of years ago)...also excellent. We didn't have dessert (too full!). Small wine list but excellent quality-selection-price point. Restaurant was full so make sure you book a reservation (full restaurant, a bit loud, but enjoyable...able to converse.) :-) smiles all around.

    We were greeted warmly, seated immediately, served in a timely manner and had a delicious meal. It is so great not to have to ask if each item is gluten free and to negotiate what is available. I had duck which was very tasty. My husband had chicken schnitzel which he enjoyed.

    The food was fantastic! Everyone who recommended the pickle soup were bang on! Their menu is all gluten free but you’d never know it. Their bread tastes better than a lot of regular breads. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

    The food taste was excellent. My Guest struggled with the timing of entree. We both order the soup, and we were enjoying it with normal conversation. Much to our surprise our entrees arrived while we were less than 33% finished our soup. My suggestion is to not order your entree there until you’re 66% completed your soup.

    We have been supporters and patrons for years, almost always with good experiences, but last night was disappointing. My sauerkraut soup was lukewarm and I was really disappointed with the pan fried potatoes. While normally the potatoes are cut small, pan fried and crispy on the outside, last night, they were pretty much boiled, bland potatoes cut into very large pieces. Also, when I asked for a little extra gravy, it cost me $4 for a quarter cup. As for service, while Andrew was nice, he was not all that attentive, so I never got a chance to convey my concerns. We also had to wait ten minutes for our bill to come.

    Food was very good. The service was friendly and professional. The restaurant was poorly lit and loud and yet not all tables were occupied. The most egregious aspect of the evening was the prices on the wine list.

    Was our favourite restaurant, we’ve been going there for 30 years. Now not so much. We used to look forward to the wonderful rye bread. Now the in-house gluten free is so so. My wife had spetsai yesterday and was gummy. Not special. Used to have nice linen on tables. Now glass. Nice linen napkins- now cheap paper. Prices are up. I still like restaurant- but gluten free is loser and overall experience is not nearly as good. Quality of ambience down. Food was very good but will come off our must go to list for now.

    I often go the Treat. Enjoyed lunch there the other day with a friend from Toronto. Both had Schnitzel, one pork and one chicken. Very tasty as always. Also we each had the apple strudel. Good too. Our server was Julia, attentive, pleasant and efficient. Overall we had a great lunch.

    Such a pleasure to go with out to a place where we don’t have to worry about gluten cross contamination yet the food is prepared so well that is simply doesn’t occur to you that it’s gluten free. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Recommend without hesitation.

    My husband and I had never been before. The food was great. We had the pickle soup which was delicious followed by the pork chop and schnitzel. The sizes are big so we didn’t have room for dessert. It was a bit noisy to have a conversation but overall we had a great date.

    Had a reservation but the crowd at the door would not let anyone get through. Please try to get people to line up and deal with them quickly at the front desk. Hostess going to the back office to confirm reservations, is not a good idea. You can use mobile devices to confirm reservations and seat people quickly instead of keeping them standing. Certainly on the expensive side but $300 for 5 people is not bad for a special occasion! :-) Good (no, excellent) food, great service (once seated). A bit noisy during peak time. Can you please stock some good German beers? :-)

    My friend and I visit Continental Treat when she comes to Canada to visit just for the dill pickle soup - consistently good schnitzel and desserts are a bonus. This time we finished with the strawberries Romanoff - if that's "quaint" per the menu, I don't think we could have dealt with a "substantial" dessert! Lovely finish to a delicious dinner.
