An all day, everyday affair, this is a collaboration between the people
that brought you Red Ox Inn, Canteen and The Wired Cup.

Our mission is simple—build a community gathering place and
serve tasty food properly prepared from locally sourced ingredients,
pour great wine and cocktails, make great coffee and present it
with impeccable service.

The vibe is relaxing, the parking easy and the patio is simply perfect.
Happy and Olive is an Edmonton destination where neighbours,
friends, visitors, and families can eat well and connect.

Excellent food & service. We enjoy H&O. One little table for 2 being taken away would give you less of a feeling of sitting right on top of the next table. We were in a corner & couldn’t get out without having 2 people at other tables get up & move to let us out.

We enjoyed another lovely lunch and birthday celebration at Happy and Olive today. The service is exceptionally good and from the time one walks in the door, one feels warmly welcomed, comfortable and well looked after. I always appreciate when all of the staff are working to to ensure I have a good experience. The food choices are interesting and varied and I have tried quite a few of the menu items now and have never been disappointed. This is the third birthday celebration where we have ordered the warm, cinnamon waffle pieces for dessert which arrive with a lit birthday candle tucked in the middle. I have only had lunch there and this has been on different week days but it is always busy over the lunch hour so reservations are definitely a good idea.

Had a great dinner at Happy and Olive! The saganaki was unique and perfectly crispy and cheesy, and the spicy Pina Sour was a delicious, bold twist on a classic cocktail. Fun atmosphere and great service—definitely recommend!

I highly recommend the roasted olives as an appetizer. The chicken sammie was excellent! Our server was attentive and made lovely recommendations, including the Chai Latte to finish off our meal. So nice to not feel rushed.
