Tzin Wine & Tapas - Edmonton, Alberta

Finally checked this restaurant out. It's small but kinda intimate and one of a kind. The waitresses were super friendly, welcoming and attentive. We tried seven tapas from the menu and they were all delicious and nicely presented. I was initially hesitant to order the paella due to the disappointment ... of the flavorless paella at Sabor, but I'm glad I ordered it here and it was very tasty and full of flavor. (Talking about Sabor, their rude and discriminatory attitude was also a huge turn off.) Will definitely come back again! Read more

Tzin has obviously discovered the perfect formula. This tiny little "room" on 104 Street is always busy and bustling. And during this summer, the patio is also packed. The vibe is fantastic - kind of a darker moody boho exotic feel and very intimate. The kitchen and bar are "right ... there" and there is only a singular washroom in the corner. We had reservations for 5 PM and already the place was full. The service was extremely friendly. And the food is delectable. It's all smaller plates and made for sharing. Presentation is beautiful and the food is wonderful. Their signature dish is the thick bacon on crostini. 😋 After dining, I understand that they have a time limit on reservations that is two hours. We went to four hours and they graciously worked around us without disrupting our meal. We are so thankful to the team at Tzin For their consideration. This is one of most favorite haunts in Edmonton. Never disappointed. ❤️ 5 x 🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲 Read more

Nothing short of fantastic. It was my daughter's 15th birthday and she picked this restaurant because she wanted to "go somewhere fancy". The owner catered to my daughter with such reception and hospitality it doubled the experience. The food was outstanding. My picky eater of a daughter loved every single ... dish so much she wanted to lick the plates 😊. Highly recommended. Read more

The place is very small and very tight but quite nice. One side of the standard seat is a bench with cushions and pillows. It is a bit dark as you come in but once seated it is fine. It's very small entrance door to find. At first I wasn't ... sure if I had come through the back. We did the recommend Feed Me / chef's choice option. Food is served one dish at a time. The best were the risotto (not on menu) and the pork belly with mushrooms sauce. We did not enjoy the beef steak as we are not rare or medium rare consumers. Did not think to mention this to the server. Not sure if we could have sent back to kitchen to ask for it to be more cooked. We also didn't think bacon on crostini was as special as the reviews raved about it. We ordered a glass of red and white wine. They gave us taste tests first with different red wine before we settled. We booked a week in advance for our seats on Open Table. It asked us if we were celebrating anything. It was for our birthdays. Nothing special was done except the server wished us. Service was good as they changed out our plates after every dish. They even store your coat for you if you want. They topped up our waters promptly. Explained the dishes to us. Helped us choose our wines. Cost $150 for 2 people. Very high end fine dining. Definitely for special occasions. Read more

It only took 7+yrs to check this place out and I’m kicking myself for not going sooner! I totally understand why I had to book a reso 6 weeks out ! Small space but cozy! Very friendly service from every single interaction. The kitchen to which I failed to take a ... photo of was my favourite part of the space. Open kitchen concept by the window made you feel like you were in a bustling metropolis in a city much bigger than Edmonton. Shrimp were big and flavoured perfectly with a light curry. A highlight for everyone at the table. Steak melt in your mouth with the mushrooms! Bacon signature dish was salty and sweet. The wine was nicely paired with the meal with the price point being average. Overall the friends from Calgary that were in town were blown away. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu sooner than later. Especially the option where you opt in for whatever the chef decides to cook. Tell him your dislikes and allergies then your meal is a surprise. Next time! Worth every penny! Read more
