Happy thursday,

Luv cakes?

Lets go!

An ambitious new restaurant featuring a 16-layer chocolate cake and a cozy, elevated atmosphere.

Golden Sparrow has quietly taken root on Edmonton's beloved 124 Street corridor, and Westmount is already taking notice.

Tucked into one of the city's most character-rich neighborhoods, the restaurant brings serious culinary ambition to an already impressive dining strip.

At the helm is Chef Taimoor Mirza, a self-taught cook raised near Oman's spice markets, whose journey through PEI's seafood traditions shaped a menu that moves confidently across borders.

Nepalese chicken momos, Korean fried chicken, salmon laksa, and the fan-favourite Sparrow tots share space without contradiction — each dish executed with quiet precision.

The showstopper? A sixteen-layer chocolate cake finished with spun gold sugar that has already earned near-legendary status.

From the Golden Hour happy deals to a warmly received weekend brunch, Golden Sparrow is built for lingering — and for coming back.

At 10704 124 Street, something genuinely exciting is happening.
