The Servers Know Us By Name
Our regular hang out spot. We are always treated very well there. Every time we come in, we are treated like family. The servers know us by name, remember what we drink, and always give us great service. The food is 5 stars that's for sure, but the service is definitely what keeps us coming back. There aren't many places in Edmonton where you are treated this good.
Amazing!!!
Many people I know have been going to rouge lounge for over a decade and I can see why. The food is amazing, the staff are very friendly and it's a great location. I've had many great experiences there and will continue to share many to come with my friends and family!I would highly recommend Rouge Lounge to everyone!!!
Rose Bowl still serves up the perfect pizza
As my first groupon.com experience, I dropped $15 on a $30 Rose Bowl coupon and some of the best pizza in the city.
I started with a hot chocolate ($2.62), mounded with real whipped cream in its stylish mug and saucer, followed by phenomenal garlic-roasted Pavarotti bread ($9. It was eclipsed only by the bowl of meaty ragout included for dipping.
We waited nearly an hour for the massive pizza, and it was worth every minute. If you have ever tasted a large Rose Bowl Special ($29.80), heaped with a medium-sized farm’s worth of meats and vegetables, you know exactly what I mean.
I hadn’t been to the Rose Bowl since their transformation from neighbourhood pub to trendy lounge six years ago, and I admired what they had done with the place. However, as always, the friendly owners were delighted that you came by – and that pizza is perfect after nearly 30 years.
Great pizza and casual, relaxed atmosphere
The décor of this place may have changed but the quality of pizzas hasn’t, and may I say thank God! The place has been renovated and redecorated, and even though it feels a bit more upscale now, the atmosphere is relaxed and still feels casual. Rose Bowl gets rather busy during lunch hours and on the weekends but it doesn’t make the place less charming.
The pizza menu at this restaurant is great. You can either create your own pizza from the list of available toppings, or go for Gourmet Pizzas. Some of the pizzas I have tried and recommend without any hesitation are: Mediterranean Vegetarian, Chef’s Mistake, Island Special and Chicken La Rouge (you can really taste the spicy sauce that adds a bit of kick). Since their chefs take pizza preparation extremely seriously, prepare to wait for your order to come in 15-20 minutes. The wait is worth it. Rose Bowl’s menu also includes salads, sandwiches and pasta, but pizzas are real stars of the show.
A Fixture in Edmonton
This place has long been a fixture in town. It's known for it's amazing slow-cooked pizza. I've had it several times and it's always made me want to come back for more.
I liked this place when it was a no-frills dive with fabulous food. It used to have a bar and lounge attached to it, with thin walls, a loud stereo system, pool tables and a few seats. They completely revamped it, a campaign they called from "Rose to Rouge." Now the Rosebowl still has the same fantastic pizza, to stay or to go, but it's look has been updated to a modern, hip place to be, with a slightly more upscale menu and decor.
I don't know how busy this place gets yet, but as Jasper Ave. continues to grow as a weekend hot spot, this place will inevitably start to draw more of a crowd. Just writing about their luscious, slow-cook pizza is making me crave a visit.
