1. La Ronde Revolving Restaurant
As I write this, I'm spinning very slowly in the 24th-floor revolving restaurant at Chateau Lacombe hotel. I can see the city's skyline from this dimly-lit dining room with a panoramic view. Soft music is playing and I'm sipping Merlot and eating a…More »
2. New York Bagel Cafe
Edmonton, AB T6E 4B4
(780) 432-2003
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Bagels
The New York Bagel Cafe is entirely understated from the outside. In fact, you can't be really prepared for the warm, cozy atmosphere that greets you, beckoning you to take off your coat and hat and stay awhile. Everything's in solid, dark wood, with…More »
3. Tony's Pizza & Italian Restaurant
I popped into Tony's on the way home today to pick up some take-out. I heard the food was good and I like the look of the place from the outside. It's been around for years and seems to keep steady business. I stopped on this particular day because…More »
4. Way of Life - Mode de Vie
In a small house on the edge of Edmonton's Jasper Ave. strip is a vegan restaurant that makes a person feel like they've just given back a small handful of what is owed to Mother Earth. (We are severely in debt with her, and to her). You can't help…More »
5. Renato's Italian Kitchen
Although Sorrentino's has the highest profile of Italian restaurants in the city, I love Renato's. It's got such a warm, cozy, yet elegant home kitchen feel to it. The food is true home Italian comfort food, and they've got everything you'd expect,…More »
6. Haweli Restaurant
The first time I tried butter chicken in Montreal it was at an authentic Indian food shop and the experience had never been replicated until I came to Haweli. There are so many fast food Indian restaurants cropping up these days, and they are junk…More »
7. Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant
This is one of the only vegetarian restaurants in the city I've been to, and the only one with a distinctly Asian flare. There's a Buddhist feel to this place, and the cuisine is typical of the kind of diet a Buddhist or yogi might adhere to. The…More »
8. Sorrentino's
This particular Sorrentinoâs is the quaintest of all their restaurants in the city. Itâs small and has the feel of a bistro in Tuscany. Itâs always busy here, whether at lunch or dinner, and no wonder, the menu is exceptional. Iâve come here for a…More »
9. Langano Skies Ethiopian
This is a neat place to eat because itâs an entirely different cultural eating experience than Iâve ever had before. Much like eating on your knees for the first time in a Japanese restaurant, at Langano Skies you get to eat with your hands! Hey…More »
10. Original Joe's
I've spent many a Saturday afternoon on the Original Joe's patio. There's a pretty little water fountain that trickles against one wall, and the western exposure holds the promise of a full afternoon of sunning. I typically order beer here. They have…More »
11. Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant
Edmonton, AB T5K 2T7
(780) 482-4677
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Sports Bars,
Breweries
This is the only Brewster's I've ever been to. We go there for late-night appies when hunger calls, but most places have stopped serving food. At Brewster's you can order grub past midnight and they have fantastic microbrewery beer made on site. I…More »
12. Cafe Mosaics
I have heard so much about Cafe Mosaics and when I finally got there I wasn't disappointed. They serve vegetarian fare and there's a sign on the door that says "Tofu Rulz!" I was sold at Tofu. They know what to do with those tasteless blocks of soy…More »
13. Edo Japan
This specific Edo is the best Edo in the city. The food is always healthy, fresh and good at Edo, but I go here because of Kai - who unfortunately changed his name to Henri. Whatever his name, Kai's the man. He's older and short and if you go on a…More »
14. Blue Chair Café
The blue chair is one of Edmonton's truly unique restaurants, namely because it's run by unique people who put their passion where their business sense was. The Blue Chair is a great restaurant and a fabulous venue for live music. They serve dishes…More »
15. Koutouki
My friend recently had her stagette here. It was so much fun! If you plan to go, you must do so on a weekend when there's belly dancing and the whole family (the staff) get involved in the fun. If you get up to dance they'll pour ouzo down your…More »
16. Louisiana Purchase
My one visit to Louisiana Purchase was among the best of my dining experiences in Edmonton. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere had a unique character to it, often lacking in trendier places. The food is cajun and creole, so be ready…More »
17. Hoang Long Restaurant
This restaurant was introduced to me by a born-and-raised Edmontonian who grew up in a household where adventurous cuisine was away of life. This was his favourite restaurant, and one of his parent's; and now it's mine. The cuisine is a mix of…More »
18. Mikado Restaurant
This is the best in Japanese cuisine - in a chain restaurant. What I was surprised to learn, is this place has been serving Edmonton since 1972. Which means, it was doing its thing really well, and quietly, until sushi became all the rage. So, the…More »
19. Pizzeria Prego
"Prego" means "to love," and the love of pizza is nowhere more evident than at Pizzeria Prego. This little shop is the only place in Edmonton where you can get gluten-free pizza. And it's fantastic! According to the Canadian Celiac Assocation, 1 in…More »
20. Il Portico Restaurant - CLOSED
This is one of the best dining experiences in the city. To go and really do it up here, it'll cost you upwards of $150-$200 with a nice bottle of wine, appetizers, two courses, dessert and aperitif. At that price it would be a rare treat for most, so…More »
21. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
This is pizza to die for and it won't leave you feeling like a 500-lb dough boy (or girl) after polishing off a whole pie. Seriously, once you start you can't stop. It's made of imported San Marzano tomatoes and flour from Italy and the light crispy…More »
22. 4th & Vine Wine Bar & Bistro
With the growing popularity of wines in North America you'd think there'd be a few more wine bars around in a major city like Edmonton. 4th & Vine is a nice break from the bar scene if you want to go out and sample wines and a good selection of…More »
23. Sukhothai Restaurant
I really enjoy this restaurant for the food and the atmosphere. It's got an eastern feel to it, from the dark wood counter top at the front, the wall accents and earthy stone floor to the circle fire pit in the middle of the restaurant. There's an…More »
24. Col Mustard's Canteen
Located in the Westmount area, this restaurant is my new lunchtime fave. The homemade soups and pressed sandwiches are delicious. I went for the vegetarian panini and it was filled with marinated peppers, eggplant and other yummy goodness. The wine…More »
25. Joey Jasper Ave
Half-way home, on a gorgeous day, I am passing by all of the patios on Jasper where the waitresses are busy hauling chairs and tables back out, in expectation of Friday after-work sun-worshippers who have one and only one place to be on this…More »

The patio's lovely and when you stand in line they serve you free bellinis. Go ahead, persuade me… Read more »
26. Dadeo
If you haven't been to Dadeo's then there's a serious piece of E-town's restaurant culture you're missing out on. Dadeo's is legendary for its sweet potato fries and hearty cornbread. The menu features New Orleans fare, from the po' boy breakfast,…More »
27. Tra Amici Cafe & Bar
This little Italian cafe used to be located downtown on the same block at the Italian Bakery, but when their lease came up for renewal, it wasnât granted because the Italian Bakery wanted to expand next door. So Tra Amici needed to find a new home,…More »
28. Julio's Barrio Mexican Restaurant
Welcome to Tijuana, com-padre! Put on a sombrero and order a bucket of Coronas for you and your senorita. It's party time!! It's impossible not to feel festive in this place, especially if you're donning one of the wide-brim hats which are on the…More »
29. Garage Burger Bar & Grill - CLOSED
The walls of this downtown burger joint are plastered with awards for serving up the best burger in town. What these guys do, they do well. A laid-back place with no-frills decor and old booths that have seen better days, but the food is great and…More »
30. Pagolac Restaurant
My boyfriend introduced me to Pagolac. The Vietnamese food here is nothing fancy, but the service is fast and Asian efficient and there are tons of dishes to choose from on the menu. I tend to shy away from things like duck and other seafood on Asian…More »
31. Rose Bowl Rouge Lounge
This place has long been a fixture in town. It's known for it's amazing slow-cooked pizza. I've had it several times and it's always made me want to come back for more. I liked this place when it was a no-frills dive with fabulous food. It used to…More »
32. Boston Pizza
If you're looking for a place to grab a lunch in the Whyte Ave area, try the Boston Pizza. You'd think it would get packed, but it has been virtually empty every time I've gone there for lunch. Service is fast and friendly. The staff seems bored with…More »
