Reviews for Pip in Edmonton, AB
Cute spot with a lively atmosphere for brunch. Tried their short rib eggs Benny and classic BLT. Also had a taste of the sweet... French toast bake - this had a nice flavor from the maple cream cheese and strawberry rhubarb jam but the bread itself was a bitdense for me. The short rib eggs Benny was solid. Eggs were poached well and the Hollandaise sauce was light and creamy. Themain critique is that the bread itself (apart from the crust) can get soggy from the sauce of the short rib. There is good meatflavor but if the bread getting soggy (if you don't eat fast enough) bothers you, this might not be your dish. The BLT was thestar - very good flavors that worked well together, especially the maple smoked bacon and pesto. The bread was also nicelycrisped up and had a light crunch when you bit into it. Overall, for what you pay for, it is of pretty good quality and portionsizes. Definitely recommended for brunch! Read more
Perfect place for a Sat brunch with friends (so can order more to share!) really fresh ingredients with tasty flavours to start... the day. Refills on coffee was nice :) great hospitality, in a stylish designed space! Read more
I checked out the new location this past weekend, and can confirm the quality is still amazing. Brunch is really good here - I... had the BLT with tomato soup (grilled cheese croutons! Come on!), and it was hearty and perfect for a fall meal. I?ve been fordinner as well, and it?s a really good place to get a few plates and share with the table. I also recommend trying a cocktail!

Coffee - Horrible coffee. We tried the black drip coffee and even lattes and they were all bad. Think a lesson in pulling a... proper shot is needed. Service - Food took forever to get. We were one of the first people into the restaurant and it tookclose to an hour to get our food. Server we had was okay. Had to tell her to clear dishes and fill up our drinks. She madethe regular excuses for the very late food arrival. Food overall was okay. Nothing really complex or anything that really mademe say WOW. Pretty much just a regular breakfast joint. I would say for the calibre of food it is over priced. There areother better breakfast places I would rather go like OEB or Under the High Wheel. Read more
1. Bourbon elderflower smash 2. Arugula and kale salad with fried cheese 3. Gnocchi with fennel sausage added 4. Beef... Bolognese We got these dishes and shared them, plenty of food for two people. The salad and gnocchi were probably my favoritethings. That fried cheese was just amazing and fit perfectly with how they seasoned the greens. The gnocchi was really great onits own, but adding the spicy fennel sausage was just *chef's kiss* Get a couple drinks and one or two dishes to share and youwill not be disappointed! Read more
Honestly the best brunch I?ve had in a long, long time. I ordered the veggie eggs benny and the hollandaise sauce was... PERFECTION. I ordered the fried cheese salad as my side (instead of hash) and it was also so delicious with the perfect amountof dressing and of course the yummy cheese. Run don?t walk to PIP! But try and go on a week day? we got a seat no problem :) Read more
This place was really cute and the food was really good. Servers were really nice as well and service was a decent pace. The... outdoor patio was small and I can see why this place has wait times but I would say it?s worth it! The drinks were all fantasticbut the coffee options are a bit limited given that it?s technically a brunch place. Lastly, I believe they change the menu sothough I came for an avocado toast I ended up getting the mushroom toast and buying a side of avocado for $3 to make my own lol.But it was delicious none the less. My friends got a short rib Benedict and Brie and prosciutto sandwich which were all loved. Read more
The ambience of the place is amazing. The dining experience during dinner service is in the dark, illuminated just by the light... of candles, which makes the experience interesting in a good way. The server, Sierra, was polite and good with herrecommendations from the menu. We ordered Tomato Basil soup, Fennel salad, and Blackened chicken. The soup was heart warmingwith a slight acidic taste of tomatoes, while the fennel salad tasted fresh and delicious. Blackened chicken was wholesome andtasted incredible on cold wintery night. The one star is deducted for the service of the food, we had to wait over 30 minutesfor our food to arrive. A highly recommended place to visit to cherish good food. Read more
