Warm and friendly staff - Edit
Warm and friendly staff, good atmosphere, food, drinks, great music. I’m regular at the Creole Envie and what I like most is that there is no dress code and it still holds good reputation. I feel free to stop by for a coffee or lunch, or to take my girl to a drink or a dinner. Good job guys!

Absolutely amazing! - Edit
Absolutely amazing! I went with my rowing team and the service was quick especially for having to serve a team of about 15. The food was light and fresh. The atmosphere was perfect. They have a great vegan menu!!!

This is our favorite restaurant in Edmonton - Edit
This is our favorite restaurant in Edmonton, and we try to get in to it once a month or so. Absolutely the best vegan food I've ever had and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

I don't normally take the time to post reviews, but after the experience we had at Creole Envie, I felt they earned it. Simply put, it's the best dining experience I've ever had. Our family visited a cousin in Edmonton. The staff was extremely attentive and made it a meal to remember. The food was superb & the portions were so big. We'll be back next year!

Really good! - Edit
I really like this resturaunt. I had the vegan 'chicken' and waffles and enjoyed it quite a bit. My only complaint is that most things don't seem to come with any kind of vegetable side (you have to order them separately), so I got a really large portion of 'chicken' which made the dish very, very heavy. I would have liked half the 'chicken' I got and something green on the side. My husband had the eggplant and loved it. Looking forward to trying more things on the vegan menu. :-)

Not worth it. - Edit
We really liked it. But beware, its a small place, and the service can be spotty. Reservations on weekends are highly recommended. But the vegan menu is a real treat, and quite unique. The dishes we had were delicious, and they even had live music the night we were there. A nice change from the few other options available in Edm. I would not give this five cows if that were available, but four is fair.

UPDATE: though our first experience was solid, last night we suffered through one of the worst dining experiences of our life. The food was, quite frankly, awful. I dont know if the regular chef was off sick or something, but I can only judge by what I ate. The presentation and taste of every dish we had was terrible. The fried chicken and waffles (vegan version) was terrible. I barely ate half of this dry, expensive dish. The gumbo was no better, being gooey and flavourless. My parents ordered from the carnivore menu and were even less impressed. It kills me to say it, as Edmonton is starving for good vegan options, but I will not be back. Very expensive, and not worth it at half the price.

Unfriendly Staff - Edit
We tried to go here on recent day trip to Edmonton. It was 5pm and there was only one occupied table in the restaurant. We were told that they do not accept walk-ins on Friday and Saturday nights and that we should have made a reservation. The staff member was rude and unfriendly. We ended up going to Padmanadi twice instead. On their website it only says reservations recommended. They should change that to reservations required. The rude staff member didn't say that they didn't have room for us that night even, only that it was their policy not to take walk-ins.

Warning Vegans!! - Edit
WARNING!!!!;
Read moreA friend and I ordered some delivery from Creole Envie, from the vegan menu. They claim to prepare all vegan food in a different kitchen. Our collard greens and rice had some shredded pork in it. I did contact them, first thinking it was shredded beef. They contacted me back, not with any sort of apology, but to say they did not have beef on the menu. I wrote back and said okay, it must be pork then, and that I still had the container showing the meat, and if they wanted to see it, I would bring it in. ZERO response now....just be aware. I just could not believe that they could not even offer an apology. The email I sent was also very polite, and flattering as well.
Updated from previous review on Saturday March 15, 2014
I got an email from the owner; "My apologies." "I am sorry for the lack of a proper apology yesterday as I was off site and was unable to talk to staff until late yesterday regarding your order. "We do have some new kitchen staff and they didn't realize that the veg collards were in a separate kitchen." "I do honestly apologize for the lack of staff knowledge." Sincerely, D. Majeau.
Pros: responded well to complaint, beautiful decor, fresh ingredients
Cons: uneducated staff

Awesome vegan menu! - Edit
Creole Envie has a great vegan menu on top of it's regular menu. You have to make a reservation for this small restaurant, make sure you specify that you want the vegan menu when you reserve!
Read moreI had the vegan andouille sausage po-boy, it was absolutely enormous! A whole french loaf of bread! Seriously it could probably feed two. You probably won't need a side dish, but the sweet potato fries are a good addition and there is even a vegan dipping sauce to go with them.
This is a restaurant that is somewhat high for my personal price range, but we definitely go there to celebrate special occasions! I highly recommend it.
Pros: extensive vegan menu, very large portions, super friendly owner
Cons: have to make reservations

OMG - Edit
I have never had any intrest in travelling to the south but after eating here I seriously asked my husband if we could. Entire page vegan menu had some weird and amazing things on it. Chicken and waffles? Vegan? Get in my face! My son had the chicken and waffles, I had the Jamabalaya, and my husband had the gumbo. All were phenomenal and we even finished it up with a slice of cherry pie topped with coconut milk whipped cream and an edible flower. I want to eat here every night! They only take reservations so walk ins is a no go. Totally worth it though.
