When The Manor Casual Bistro's owner and executive chef Cyrilles Koppert hung his shingle on the redeveloped home in the High Street area back in 1989 (originally under the name Emery's until it was changed in 1992), the restaurant scene was nowhere near as eclectic as it is now. Back then, most Edmontonians probably hadn't heard of fusion cuisine, or maybe they were too busy chowing down on steaks from Alberta bovines, which were all the rage.'
When I started, the choices were not so great,' says Cyrilles. 'It used to be very limited.' How times have changed.
A more ethnically diverse population, a drive for healthier eating and greater demand for local ingredients have generated a more competitive hospitality industry. In turn, restaurants have relied on their chef's ingenuity to come up with dishes that satisfy these changing tastes and create menu items that distance themselves from the rest of the pack. While Cyrilles has embraced the changes, he remembers the adjustment wasn't easy.' You have more restaurants now and the changes are for the better,' he says, adding that steaks aren't consumed in his establishment as much as they used to be.

If you’re feeling particularly hungry, try the Heart Stop. It’s a striploin burger with maple bacon, a fried egg, roasted garlic aioli, lettuce and tomato.
