Quaint little restaurant on Gateway just a block or two away from the Strathcona farmers' market, the New York Bagel Cafe has the perfect match of ambience and fine food. Among the various bagel-based breakfast, brunch and late lunch options, I…More »
Accent Lounge is a great find on Whyte Avenue. Unlike many of the more pub-like places that cater to the U of A college crowd, Accent actually has an intimate, mature, classy and trendy feel to it. Old wooden furniture with semi-dim lighting and a…More »
Mmmm ... nice stuff, nice stuff! Chai pani recently opened on 105th street, right in front of the Chapters. It's a great location and they serve up a unique menu.
Chai pani in Hindi means "tea and snacks". Perhaps influenced by the British notion…More »
The Next Act has been re-invented! I believe, just about a year back it was purchased by a group of passionate beer drinkers that have made it a point to come up with an improved list of beer on the tap and bottled, along with a nice collection of…More »
Cha Island Tea is an interesting little place, right off of Whyte Ave in the busy 104th street intersection. I found my whole experience quite weird, yet inviting. A true place where somenoe could find their perfect tea match they've been looking…More »
I like Chili's. I really do. They've got a nice menu, with a Tex-Mexy feel, not overly greasy food, like Boston Pizza sometimes is, cheap and affordable drinks and predictable but tasty appies.
The location of this Chili's is the only reason for…More »
Route 99 is a decent diner, but food-wise, nothing out of the ordinary. I really like the ambience of this place. It has the old-school, highway diner feel to it, which is extremely charming, to say the least.
I've been here just a couple of times…More »
Packrat Louie's is a high end restaurant with an understated feel to it. The interiors are very nice, but from outside it's very low key - just the way it should be.
The menu is tremendous, actually. It seems quite French inspired, of course with a…More »
Although, the Pint is one of those generic chain of bars that serve up decent food, beer and hard liquor, I like that this location is close to Whyte, yet off-Whyte. Off-Whyte should be the new "in" for people on the south side. Let's call them…More »
Yummmmm ... as I write this review I'm imagining the "Sgt. Pepper Burger" sizzling with spice as I take a juicy bite of bread, meat, cheese, peppers and tangy sauce while allowing the flood gates to open. By my side is my faithful companion of cole…More »
Buddy's is an old school family-style Chinese restaurant. Yummy food, possibly authentic - maybe not, but delicious, nonetheless. They have a huge variety of options and are very affordable with massive serving sizes.
Three of us went here the…More »
Fitness town is a great find in the Strathcona neighborhood, for fitness equipment. They mostly sell massage balls, dumbbells, exercise machines, treadmills etc. Of course, it's not the kind of store you'd come to often, but I really like that the…More »
I remember driving by Noorish on their grand opening night and was amazed to see so many people waiting to get in. I didn't really go in that night, but definitely had to pay them a visit soon after. Given that Noorish is exactly 3 blocks from my…More »
I've been conflicted between a 3 and a 4 star for this yoga studio. "Yay! I'm a fan." certainly fits the bill for me, but there are so many things that need improvement. The yoga space is a decent sized room that can hold up to 25 mats. It's yet…More »
My market Saturday's have become infinitely better. There's a lot to say about the new and revamped cafe at the Old Strathcona Farmers' market. Run by expert chef Brittany Watt, this cafe uses well over 80% of local produce many of which are right…More »
There's no point pretending that this isn't the best thing to happen to the Garneau neighborhood in a long time. Three Boars is so well situated, with their patio opening to the gritty sounds of 109th street traffic and their entire establishment…More »
