A Flavorful Adventure at Tzin Wine & Tapas My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Tzin Wine & Tapas this evening, thanks to a thoughtful gift card from close friends — and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be. We opted for the “FEED ME” menu, where you leave your culinary fate in the hands of the chef (who has been crafting magic in Tzin’s kitchen for an impressive 18 years). Every course was a masterclass in flavor, balance, and creativity. From the perfectly spiced curry prawns, to the rich and tender duck, the beautifully charred steak, and of course, their iconic bacon on crostini — each dish was a unique and delightful journey. The service was warm and attentive, the staff and owner incredibly welcoming, and the cozy, intimate ambiance made us feel right at home. This is more than just a dinner — it’s a full sensory experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore bold flavors, expertly prepared food, and genuine hospitality in the heart of Edmonton.

Wow! What a great dinner we had at Tzin. Amazing food (we had the surprise menu and it was so great) and our server who was the owner as well was simply so good and sweet. We had great talks with her and she was very knowledgeable about the wines. She also surprised us with different wines which was so fun. Highly recommend if you visiting Edmonton to go to this beautiful little restaurant where you feel the passion for this small business. We definitely will come back!

I got the 'feed me' option, their version of a tasting menu. It was great! Each dish better than the one before. Albacore ceviche: Good, but missing a bit of 'zing' Prawns in Vatavan sauce with Fennel: The warmth of the curry butter sauce contrasted perfectly with the tangy fennel. The prawns were also tender and a great vessel for the buttery sauce Succotash: Hearty, homey, comforting. Gnocchi, Bacon, corn, cream sauce Chowder-ey elevated with a Saskatoonberry glaze Sweet Italian Sausage with fennel pollen burnt peppercorn honey mustard: Tasty sausage, but a little on the dry side by itself. The honey mustard upps the ante. It adds the Juiciness missing from the sausage itself. The sweet and hot is a winning combination with pork and the fennel and herbs in the sausage add a great aromatic halo to the dish. Bison Meatball Pickled onions, house bbq sauce, creme freche, aged cheddar ranch. Warm, tangy, rich, creamy. The meatball is delicious all by itself and super juicy. The sweet and smoky bbq sauce complements the rich bison meat and strengthens the dish's warmth. The aged cheddar ranch ups the creaminess and umami yet again, but also adds a cruicial sharpness from the cheddar to balance the fat. The pickled onions are a 'cherry on top' adding a hint of crunch with a bit more zing. Bacon Crostini, maple apple glaze WOW Flavour explosion! Sweet and tart! Apple blast starts the bite off. Then as the tartness fades, the bacon's richness and smokiness comes to the forefront. The best bacon I have ever had! Lemon Curd Tart Freshly torched meringue, raspberry coulis, shortbread crust. As a dessert, Lemon curd tarts are hard to beat. They're up at the top with Tiramisu and innovative desserts like the hoja santa ice-cream at NOL. This is also a very good lemon curd tart! The tartness is STRONG as it should be and is reinforced with the raspberry coulis. All this tartness is balanced with the sweet and buttery shortbread and the creamy meringue. A great end to a great meal!
