Daravara - Edmonton

A sparse atmosphere with great music in the background, excellent service, and unique food.

Walking into Daravara for the first time I was a little rattled at the industrial look of the placeNot what I had in mind at all.

I wish you could write 2 entirely different reviews.

Went as a party of 6 and were able to make a reservation. Service was friendly and prompt. I shared the waffle chicken sandwich and the brisket sandwich. The waffle chicken sandwich was amazing. The brisket sandwich was good but found it could have used some BBQ sauce or something, it just felt a little dry. The meat was tender however but it was just meat, a bun and their jam that they put on it. Their fries are amazing! They are the thick fresh cut kind and they season them really well. Would definitely go back!

Oh. Em. Gee. First (and only worst) of all - parking here SUCKS. Be prepared for that and then get over it because it's worth it. I met with friends for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. There were four of us, it was noon - no problem. We got beers, mimosas, coffees, sweet tea...pretty much a drinking gamut of dreams come true. Brunch menu: varied but not in an overwhelming way. A one pager but with sweet or savoury, meaty or vegetarian, full of eggs or not. We had two vegetarians in the group who got fried tofu hash and were happy campers. Very flavourful and great texture. Personally I went for the Guinness Butter Bread Pudding French Toast...covered in berries with a side of peameal bacon. I could have done with more bacon, but you can't win 'em all. Overall, a delight. I will most certainly be back. Bonus: right across from Duchess bakery. Post brunch dessert? Obviously.
