(Cheap) Date Night
See All Lists
1. Numchok Wilai
A quaint little Thai restaurant that probably, I'm guessing, doesn't get much attention due to location. And boy, is that unfortunate, because this place is great!
Our food came out in a matter of no time, one of the quickest wait-times I've seen…More »
2. La Pagode
I think this is one of the newer Vietnamese restaurants in town, as I haven't seen it here before. La Pagode is apparently owned by the same people of Pagolac in Chinatown. So, if you're in the west end and craving some pho, La Pagode is my…More »
3. Phobulous
Friday night rolls around, and I find myself craving something different, yet familiar. My honey suddenly suggests a new Vietnamese restaurant close by. I had passed by Phobulous many times and always meant to try it, but somehow never got around to…More »
4. Alberta Legislature Grounds
Edmonton, AB T5K 2B6
(780) 427-7362
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Local Flavour
No matter what season, it's always nice to visit the Legislature grounds whether you're in need of the perfect scenic backdrop, or just want to take a stroll around the area. It actually covers quite a lot of surface area, and the flowers are always…More »
5. Old Strathcona Farmer's Market
Edmonton, AB T6E 5C3
(780) 439-1844
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market
The Old Strathcona Farmers' Market is a great way to spend a free Saturday morning or afternoon, and support local farmers at the same time. There are tables and tables of fresh veggies and fruits, meats, cheese, baked treats, and even seafood.

6. Ed's Rec Room
Formerly known as Red's (what's with the similar name?), Ed's Rec Room offers something for everyone. Located near the Jubilations Dinner Theatre on the second level of West Ed, the rec centre houses a family bowling alley, as well as a restaurant,…More »
7. Putt 'n' Glow
This cosmic mini golf course offers good and hearty fun for friends and family. Whether it's daytime or night-time, it's fun to putt around in this glow-in-the-dark world, away from the craziness of West Ed.
It's about $10 for general adult admission,…More »
8. Garneau Theatre
I like coming to the Garneau because it's one of Edmonton's oldest theatres, and you just gotta treasure old places like this. My boyfriend and I come here when we're in the mood for an indie or documentary flick. I like the plushy and swingy seats,…More »
9. Royal Alberta Museum
I remember coming here when I was little, and I gotta say, it wasn't very memorable back then. In fact, all I remembered were the stuffed deer. Pretty sad ... But I'm very glad I came back recently, because the museum has certainly made some major…More »
10. Valley Zoo
For anyone who has been to a big zoo, like the one in Calgary or Vancouver, you might not think too much of the Edmonton Valley Zoo. But it's still a cute little zoo, and offers its own kind of fun.
Summer, of course, is the best time to go, but I…More »
11. Dream Tea House
One of my favorite places in Edmonton, Dream Tea offers quality bubble tea and is just a fun place to relax with friends on a lazy weekend night.
Their menu is quite extensive, and if you don't know what you want at first, it might take awhile to…More »
12. Cinema City Movies 12 - CLOSED
Cinema 12 (aka Movies 12 or the "Dollar Theatre") is the cheapest theatre in the city. You can watch a movie for $2.75 in a fairly big theatre with comfy seating.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm tired of paying $8 to $12 for a movie.…More »
