Maki MAKI!
After driving past this place all the time, I finally stopped in for the sushi dinner I had been craving lately. What a good decision! The rolls I ordered here mostly came with bits of tempura in them, which gave the maki a crunchy texture…More »

My last day in SF before flying home to snowy Edmonton = my last chance to eat outdoors in the sort-of sunshine to celebrate my birthday!
I just snuck in and out of the actual restaurant, ordering a Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. Try…More »
I would say that The Greenhouse is a secret indulgence for me, but with a menu of healthy healthy treats, it's not much very indulgent, and I don't keep it particularly secret!
My favourite salad here is the Sol Caesar. It has a light but creamy…More »
Whether you are heading out for a casual dinner or late-night drinks, this location of Original Joe's consistently serves yummy food for a reasonable price, without music blasting right in your ear at full volume. I also love love LOVE that the…More »
Plenty of bike parking and conveniently located just a block from the University of Alberta. The lattes here are priced higher-than-average ($5!), but they're worth it!
Make sure to try the pizza for a yummy lunch (I recommend the spinach and feta),…More »
Yum, yum, yum!
I'm a mega Italian-foodie and this is one of my favourite places in town.
The atmosphere in SPK is very cheerful, with the walls painted to resemble and outdoor street in Italy. I've always found the staff to be very polite and friendly,…More »
If I could, I would give 10 stars to Cactus Club.
My first time at CC for dinner, and I was left with my jaw on the floor. Even without a reservation, the staff jumped on us to get our table of seven into the restaurant. Every staff member I…More »
Next time you're eating breakfast at Barb and Ernie's, take a second to take in the food, the company, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything in dark oak and videos of Barb and Ernie's Europe vacations playing on the video screens nearby.…More »
This little family-run bakery and deli is one of my favourite quick lunch spots. Or, for breakfast, I've picked up many a chocolate-chip muffin here, too. (Essentially a cupcake without the icing. No, really. My homemade cupcakes aren't near as sweet…More »
I am not a very good date at Blue Plate Diner. I simply can't decide what to eat, because I really like everything I've tried off the menu so far! Am I in the mood for a yummy caesar salad? With chicken, or without? What about the special treat of a…More »
I've decided that excellent food is something worth spending my hard-earned money on, and Sunterra has everything that I'm looking for, even though it's not always cheap.
Although this little grocery isn't as large as the nearest Safeway or Save-On,…More »

With only one day set aside for shopping on my most recent trip to San Francisco, I knew I was going to have to be efficient. None of the "wandering around Macy's for fours" nonsense of previous trips. No, certainly not.
First stop was the Union…More »
After eating a very healthy lunch across the plaza at The Chopped Leaf, my tastebuds were tingling for a treat. I glanced to my right, and what did I see, but a tiny but adorable chocolate shoppe.
It's one glass case of several dozen chocolate types…More »
Now wait here just one second. I haven't written a review of Tony's yet?
This is my family's favourite place for pizza night out. We usually order a couple of large "Famous House Specials" to split among the table. The pizza here is super tasty, and…More »
Oops, a bit of a belated review on the Edmonton Fringe Festival, but here it is!
The Fringe is my absolute favourite festival of the summer. It really finishes off the summer on a great note and it's the time that I think Old Strathcona really comes…More »

Sublime is where I buy most of my swimsuits. I'm a South Side girl and Sublime is all the way in St. Albert, but it's worth the trip. (OK, full disclosure - my parents live in St. A, so every bathing suit shopping trip ends in a home cooked meal,…More »
Italian food is my all-time favourite. Like, in a discussion the other day with some yelpers about what our top 5 favourite cuisines are, Italian and Indian were the only two that didn't require serious thought. Immediate reaction = PASTA AND…More »
I love this place! I think it's one of the last secret gems in Edmonton. Yellowhead Brewery not only produces one of my favourite beers, but they have one of my favourite spaces in the city.
Every Sunday night is Industry Night, so I came by here with…More »
YES!!
I think I've found a new favourite restaurant, and it's all thanks to the awesome Edmonton yelpers! A talk thread spawned a trip to this place for one yelper, which in turned led to more and more visits, and eventually, a UYE!
I accidentally…More »
The Antique Mall can only be summed up by one word: magical!
Just don't go an hour before they close, like I did. You'll end up having gone through about 1/4 of the place when all of a sudden it's 6 PM.
Furniture, clothing, collectibles, toys, comics,…More »
Oh my gosh! This place will change your life, trust me. It's a small cafe hidden in Oliver - I actually drove right past it the first time I was trying to find it. But lucky for me, I spotted it the second time 'round.
A few tables here. It's mostly…More »
Hey there, new favourite "Asian fusion" restaurant (whatever that means). Located quite a ways down 82 Ave, I had driven past dozens of times but never gone out of my way to check it out. My cousin and her BF were in town from Calgary for the weekend…More »
I feel lucky that I've been able to enjoy some time out on the Hotel McDonald patio. What a view! It truly makes me think we don't need to travel to NYC to get some great city scape or Central Park experience. This river valley - it's no joke, kids!

Explanabrag warning: I came here for dinner with my husband to celebrate four years of being together.
