There is a new tenant poised to take over the beautiful restaurant space at the Alberta Hotel in downtown Edmonton (9802 Jasper Ave.)

Kaylen Como, who owns Privada Wine and Tapas in St. Albert (21 Perron St.), is expanding his reach with the acquisition of the lease at the historic space, home to two restaurants in the last few years.

Privada executive chef and part-owner Tony Krause says the Alberta Hotel will be a different concept than Privada, which focuses on charcuterie and shared plates.

“It’s a lot different than what we’re working with at Privada,” says Krause, pointing out that there is much more space at the Alberta Hotel, which has 98 seats in the restaurant itself, and another 100 available on the patio during the season.

Krause expects to be taking over the space imminently, and hopes to re-open within a couple of months. The restaurant will have a new name, as yet to be announced.
