Anyone that knows me, knows I am not a fan of what Christmas has become… To me it is not about all of the commercialism and who buys what for whom. It should be about celebrating with family and friends, spending time with loved ones and enjoying wonderful food and drink together.

Otto was started on that premise. It was meant to be a gathering place for families and friends where you can enjoy some great Alberta craft beer and some great company. The food was not the focus, but is still a wonderful part of the celebration that is Otto.

Owner Ed Donszelmann (previously of Culina Mill Creek) is the creative force behind this little neighbourhood Gem tucked away in the Norwood community. The decor is simple and warm. There is an overhead garage door that can be opened for the summer months. Ed ads to the warmth of the space by being present and making his rounds. He makes sure each guest is well taken care of.

Children are welcome at Otto. Sundays they have a kids meal for only $5. You won’t break the bank with a visit to Otto, the prices are very reasonable.

Grab a couple of friends and enjoy some great beer, food and sparkling conversation at Otto

The liquor menu has a lot to choose from. The focus is on the beer, but there is a full bar and a wine list available as well. There is something to quench everyone’s thirst, or to pair with the simply delicious food. .
