Our story

We are a family-owned and operated “blue collar” bistro in the heart of Inglewood, serving comfort fare with a French flair. We opened our doors in October 2017, with our six-month-old in tow, and Eden is our family name.Our story is woven into the space: a photograph of Bob Eden from circa 1956 overlooks the bar, and Papa Joe still stops in from time to time to make sure everything is under control. We thrive on word of mouth and our neighbourhood following, and we invite guests to come by, say hi, eat and drink.

Meet the chef

Chef Dirk McCabe leads the culinary team at The Eden, whose menu combines comfort fare with French influence in the restaurant's Inglewood bistro setting.

We tried breakfast at Eden and it was decent. The place itself feels really unique, which I loved. The food was good, just not something that blows you away, but the whole atmosphere makes the visit worth it. I’d love to come back and try their dinner menu next time because the vibe makes me curious about what they offer later in the day.

Delicious food. Great place for brunch. Good size portions and very tasty. Coffee was just okay, I ordered an Americano and an Espresso. The espresso was extremely bitter. The mimosas were good. Our server was very friendly.

Service was great - very attentive, friendly and helpful. Went for lunch (11:30) on a Friday. Nice place, not busy at that time if day and we had our choice of seats.For our table of 2 we shared the cauliflower, golden beets and steak tartare. The beets were exceptional. I'd hear really good things about the tartare prior to going. The portion was generous but found it slightly under seasoned and there were enough potatoes for the amount of tartare. The cauliflower was difficult to eat because it came out as 2 1/2 heads of cauliflower. It was also a bit under cooked, making it quite crunchy and hard to cut.Overall it was decent but with no lunch pricing felt expensive for what we had.

I was in Calgary recently to meet and have dinner with a wine maker from Italy. He requested that we dine at The Eden due to their care and quality while accommodating his dietary restrictions.I had never been into this beautiful space before and I loved every minute of it. The wine, cocktails, and especially the food were all knockouts. HIGHLY recommend the bone marrow carbonara(he drool's as he types this), the steak tartar, and ancho crusted steak...Thank you to the team for their hospitality and care.I will be back!

Underrated gem in Inglewood. Small, solid menu. One of the best burgers in town. Charming service. All in a historic space.

As always, everything was perfect! The Ling Cod was spectacular. The service was genuine, well timed, and friendly. I can’t wait to go back soon!
