I didn’t understand how a place with this many reviews could sit at 4.8 stars; a feat that’s difficult for any restaurant. I finally got my answer. What I came here expecting:
-Excellent sausage
What I got:
-Excellent sausage -The best fish and chips I’ve had in the city -The best mac and cheese I’ve had in the city -The best fries I’ve had in the city
The restaurant also has a great ambiance, with lovely medium lighting, rich wood furnishings and music that doesn’t drown out conversation. We were also blown away by the price of everything, which was extremely reasonable for all the food we ordered. Owners, if you’re reading this: please do not change a single thing with your existing recipes like so many other places. You managed to hit the nail on the head for every single thing. Please keep it that way. You have something rare and amazing.

The schnitzel sandwich remains an elusive catch as I didn't know about it on my last visit and it wasn't available this time, for Octoberfest. Garden space expansion makes for a transcendent food heaven retreat during the summer.

$12 for a sausage that I can throw on the grill at home is a RIP OFF! Just another typical poor value restaurant in Edmonton - with high prices and mediocre quality.
What is the customer actually paying for? A non-cook to put your $12 sausage into a bun and hand it to you (expecting a tip for that 'service' of course)? To pay a teenager to lower the french fries into and out of a deep fryer, that a five year old year old child could perform? I stopped going to restaurants in Edmonton altogether because they're so hit and miss - with mostly miss. High prices, with the 'standard' being 'mediocre to atrocious' food quality, where you feel you're being swindled.

I enjoyed my first visit to OTTO! I selected a variety of sides, bread and a lovely drink. The House Salad was very tasty and was quite dressed up with cranberries, feta, lentils, etc. The fries were crisp and light. The Mac and Cheese was a bit too cheesy for me, but still nice. My Sour Cherry Italian Soda was really good. The $2 bread was huge and very good value for money.
Even better than the food was the great service and the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. There was plenty of on street parking available.
I left the restaurant comfortably full and am excited to return again to try the pretzel.

1st time there got food poisoning from undercooked sausage, brought it up with the owner, was told this shouldn't happen (obviously) and that they temp check every sausage that comes out of their kitchen. Aside from that, nothing was done to compensate me for my literally shitty experience. I may have been back, but that was enough for me. *pic not me just to give a specific idea of what it was like for about 3 hours of that night*

We had a roaring good time at Otto on the weekend. We were sat in their gorgeous garden patio. Our group ordered one of every sausage and nearly all the sides. Food was tasty and well seasoned! The feature sangria was a big hit to top it off.
PS if you’re lucky you may get to bump shoulders with a local politician!

This place came highly recommended by our friend and our dining experience did not disappoint. The atmosphere provides a laid-back yet elevated place to gather with friends and share in some great food and conversation. All three sausages we tried [Otto, maple sage, and Thai green curry] were phenomenal, tender, and flavourful. The smoked Mac & cheese was the favourite side, but the potato salad and the curry fries were a close second. And the owner came over later to check in on our meal and we enjoyed some great conversation with him as well. We can see why this is our friend’s top pick for a place to frequent. 10/10 on all fronts, a gem of a restaurant in Edmonton with a great vibe!

I like big sausage and im not picky;) So thats what i got here. Some different big sausages. The fries are good too but having my date put that sausage in and around my mouth was exhilarating. Teasing me with that big old meat. I was stuffed before i left. I was stuffed later to;) I highly recommend coming here. Tad pricey but the service. The experience. The food. So good. I recommend the pretzel as well. Also the potato salad. Its stellar.
The schnitzel was absolutely delicious! Just as good as in Germany and Austria. The smoked mac and cheese was very cheesy, tender noodles and lots of flavour. Our family tried different sausages and loved them all and the potato salad and pretzels were also very good. We will be back and I highly recommend!

A really delicious meal! We used to go here all the time pre-pandemic and it's great that a small local restaurant is still doing so well. It was packed! We had sausage, the Mac and cheese, potato salad, pretzels and schnitzel. It was all delicious.

Tried out Otto tonight. What a CHARMING location!!! Ed the owner is a darling!!! He looked after my party SO WELL, we felt like family. The servers were sweet and attentive. And the garden was so sweet. And the FOOD! And the DRINKS! Everything we tried was better than the last thing. We've already made plans to go back, and I suggest you make plans to go!
