EDMONTON — Moxies has opened its new location in South Edmonton Common. This is Moxies’ fourth Edmonton location and the first to feature its new modern design aesthetic.
The interior features indoor greenery, neutral tones and gold accents throughout. The restaurant seats 290 people in an 8,200-sq.-ft. space that comprises multiple dining areas, a lounge, a bar and an all-season patio. The location can host private dining and events for up to 100 guests.
“We’re thrilled to bring a stylish setting and easy sophistication to the Edmonton market, and to continue to deliver on what we’re know for across the brand – exceptional hospitality and unforgettable dining experiences,” says Joanne Forrester, president and COO.
Director of Culinary and Beverage and executive chef Brandon Thordarson brings global inspiration to Moxies’ menu along with innovative cocktails. Standouts for which the brand is known include Chipotle Mango Chicken with sweet and spicy dry rub, ancient grains, seasonal vegetables, fresh avocado and pico de gallo; Vegetarian Power Bowl, featuring marinated tofu, shiitake mushrooms, soft-boiled egg, fresh vegetables, crisp greens, cauliflower rice, spicy vegan mayonnaise and sesame avocado; the Blackened Mahi Mahi with chorizo and corn hash, creamy mashed potatoes and salsacado; and the Grilled Chicken Zen Bowl with soy glazed chicken, fresh vegetables, sprouts, jasmine rice, sesame seeds and spicy mayonnaise.
The wine and cocktail list includes – in conjunction with Mark Wahlberg – the Mark Marg margarita made with Flecha Azul tequila, the Ginger Peach Smash and Lavender Lemonade. Three new seasonal spritzes include the Hugo, Grapefruit Bliss and Aperol. Happy Hour will also feature $5 beer and wine and $10 cocktails such as the Smoked Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini and Moxies Mule.
“We’re back in the south side of Edmonton with a fresh look and modern decor perfect for any occasion,” says franchisee Tim Collins. “Our four-season patio welcomes any Edmonton weather and accommodates our private events and functions with ease.”
