We visit Tzin every time we're in Edmonton. I love that it is small and quaint, it gives great ambiance. Kelsey pays attention to every detail. We commented on how great the playlist was and she provided us with a QR code so we could access it at home. We had the chef's tasting with the wine pairing. It was excellent. It was so nice not to have to make a decision. The service was outstanding and the food, of course, was excellent. We will be back!

Wonderful ambiance, we had the lamb, cheese wheel chicken Alfredo, butternut squash pasta and the surf and turf special which were all delicious. The cheesecake was our favourite dessert .

About the restaurant

Aalto’s inspiration runs deep. From Pyramid Lake’s shimmering waters to the sky-scraping peaks that tower above, we’ve translated our neighbouring natural wonders onto our menu. The result is what we call “lake-food” — a homegrown interpretation of seafood that spotlights Jasper’s finest regional flavours.

We had a beautiful experience at Alto, we had eloped at Pyramid Lake and reserved a table for after the ceremony. The staff were very kind and professional. Food was absolutely delicious. The view from this restaurant was absolutely stunning. I do not have one negative thing to say about this experience. I will certainly go back to this restaurant when I go back to Jasper

Riverside Bistro-Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton is very commendable to all who want to eat a decent and delicious food with a beautiful scenery of Edmonton Downtown. My wife and I was very happy and very satisfied to celebrate her birthday. The crew are also nice, kind. We would probably come again but this time with family and friends.
