A contemporary Canadian supper room in Edmonton, where seasonal food and social dining meet the focused energy of a real, physical poker room.
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, MAPLE HEARTH ROOM is a fictional venue designed to feel warm and modern. The restaurant is the heart of the experience, with a menu that changes with the seasons, while a secondary poker room offers face-to-face games in a refined setting.
MAPLE HEARTH ROOM is designed as a contemporary take on the classic supper room, where the warmth of a hearth meets the energy of urban dining. The name reflects the maple leaf and the hearth, symbolizing Canadian identity and communal warmth. The space is imagined as a place where people gather for good food and conversation, and the design blends modern aesthetics with cozy, inviting elements.
As a fictional venue, every detail is crafted to feel authentic and welcoming. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is meant to encourage you to slow down, enjoy a meal, and connect with the people around you. The restaurant remains the heart of the experience, while the poker room offers a distinct, focused alternative for those who want a different kind of evening.
Our menu is built around the best ingredients each Canadian season has to offer, from spring greens to autumn root vegetables. The kitchen focuses on locally sourced produce and proteins when possible, and dishes are designed to be comforting yet refined, reflecting Canadian culinary traditions. The menu changes regularly to highlight seasonal availability.
The hearth is central to our cooking, with many dishes finished over open flame or in wood-fired ovens. The open kitchen allows guests to see the hearth in action, and wood-fired techniques add depth of flavour to meats, vegetables, and breads. The menu balances hearty and light options for all seasons.
Our dishes are meant to be shared, encouraging conversation and connection around the table. Small plates and larger format dishes are available, and the menu is designed for both intimate dinners and group celebrations. Seasonal tasting menus are offered on select evenings.
The dining room is designed to feel like a modern interpretation of a classic Canadian lodge, with clean lines and warm textures. Exposed brick and wood beams add rustic charm, while large windows let in natural light during the day. The colour palette of maple cream, brick red, and mineral blue creates a cohesive look.
From cozy booths to a long communal table, the dining room offers a variety of seating options. Booths provide privacy for intimate dinners, the communal table is ideal for larger groups or social dining, and bar seating offers a view of the open kitchen.
As the sun sets, the dining room transforms into a warm, candlelit space perfect for relaxed dinners. Lighting is dimmed to create an intimate atmosphere, the hearth becomes a focal point adding warmth and ambience, and the pace of service slows to allow guests to savour their meals.
The restaurant is a popular choice for special occasions, from birthdays to anniversaries. Private dining options are available for larger groups, the team can help plan menus and seating arrangements, and seasonal events and themed dinners are occasionally hosted.
Some evenings feature live acoustic music, adding to the supper room ambience. Music is kept at a conversational volume, the lineup features local Canadian artists, and schedules are announced on the website and social media.
The poker room at MAPLE HEARTH ROOM is a dedicated space for face-to-face poker, with real tables, cards, and chips. All games are physical and offline; there is no online poker. Players sit across from each other, just like in a traditional card room, and the room is staffed by experienced dealers and floor personnel.
The poker room is designed to be comfortable and focused, with a slightly darker, more intimate atmosphere than the restaurant. Deep mineral blue walls and dark wood tables create a classic card room feel, lighting is focused on the tables to reduce distractions, and the room is separate from the dining area to maintain distinct experiences.
The poker room hosts a variety of poker games, including Texas Hold'em and Omaha, in both cash game and tournament formats. Cash games run regularly with varying stakes, tournaments are scheduled on select evenings, and all games are played with real chips and cards.
Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, the poker room aims to be welcoming and inclusive. Staff are happy to explain rules and procedures, the atmosphere is social but focused, and players are expected to follow standard poker etiquette.
Guests can combine a meal in the restaurant with a session in the poker room for a complete evening out. Special dinner-and-poker packages are available on request, the reservation form allows guests to indicate interest in both dining and poker, and timing can be coordinated to allow for a relaxed meal before play.
We encourage all poker room guests to play responsibly and within their means. Staff are trained to recognize signs of problem gambling, information on responsible gaming resources is available upon request, and the poker room is for entertainment purposes only.
Whether you're coming for dinner, poker, or both, we look forward to welcoming you to MAPLE HEARTH ROOM. Explore the full seasonal menu, learn more about the dining room and evenings, or discover the poker room and its offerings.
MAPLE HEARTH ROOM includes an adults-only evening poker area. Please confirm that you are 18 or older before entering the website.
