Backstairs is on hiatus for a while due to the loss of a venue. We’ll keep you posted when things get rolling again!

Friday, February 12th

We’re back! After a holiday hiatus it’s time to have the first backstairs dinner of 2010. This one is coming together at the last minute, so we don’t have a definite menu yet, but feel free to email backstairscafe@gmail.com to reserve yourself a spot for this Friday!

Recent Press and Upcoming Dinners

We’ve had a few stories come out lately about the cafe. Sally from The Edmontonian did a piece on Backstairs and Byran Birtles from Vue Weekly wrote a great review here.

If you’re wondering where this weeks menu is, you’re going to have to wait. We are going to be doing dinners 3 out of 4 Fridays, so this week is the odd one out, sorry.

Also, our next dinner on November 6th is already full. Although from here on we will not be taking reservations more than a week in advance, so those of you who didn’t think to book weeks ahead of time will still have a chance to get in on November 13th and onwards!

Check back for the menus and we will start taking reservations for November 13th on the Saturday prior.

Looking for a Reservation?

Thanks to overwhelming demand, and in the interest of fairness, we need to make some changes with the way reservations are taken. We have so many people wanting to come eat with us that there are currently reservations spanning all the way to December! This is obviously difficult for us to manage, and can be discouraging to a newcomer who has to wait a month before they can get in.

To help us keep everything in order and give everyone an equal chance of getting a seat, we will no longer be taking reservations earlier than one week in advance. We will keep any advance reservations that have been made up until now, so don’t worry if we already booked you in for a future date!
