1. Transcend Coffee
Transcend opened nearly three weeks back and I feel rather disappointed that it's taken me so long to come down to the new location. I was driving to physical therapy yesterday and stopped for some soup and coffee. Is there really any point to me…More »
2. City Market
If it's summer - better get your ass down to the City Market!! I unequivocally proclaim that the City Market is better than the Strathcona Farmers' market in the short-lived warm months that people out here call summer.
I have no clue why I haven't…More »
3. Art Gallery of Alberta
It's nice to, once in a while, come to a place of solitude like the AGA. I've been here three times this summer and I find it the perfect place to unwind and relax in the sublime constructs of this space enjoying some beautiful art
The quality of the…More »
4. Tzin Wine & Tapas
Went here last night, wtih fellow yelpers. Although this wine bar is sort of small it has a warm, homely, yet chic atmosphere about it. Not too loud, decent music plays in the background and the occasional sound of grilling meat with eruptions of…More »
5. Blue Plate Diner
Oh Blue Plate! What a lovely place!
Blue Plate Diner is an artsy diner that serves up an exciting menu. I haven't had brunch/breakfast out here but have been out for dinner and was quite impressed!
I like that the menu has a modern twist to it,…More »
6. The Hat
I'd love to give The Hat a 4* rating, but I was a tad disappointed with the service. I usually don't expect the best of service at a lounge on a Thursday night; however, I still think they're two waiters away from getting things just right. (I…More »
7. The Sherlock Holmes Pub
Sherlock's got it going! A nice name, a good location, a fine choice of British pub food and a nice collection of drinks!
I've been here just two times and I would certainly recommend this place on a weekday night, if you're looking to have a couple…More »
8. Empire City Centre 9 Cinemas
I really like that this multiplex is VERY conveniently located. Firstly, it's in downtown, which is always convenient, any time of the day. Secondly it's right on the LRT, which again, is great!
Now, as multiplexes go, this one isn't particularly…More »
9. Karma - The Indian Bistro - CLOSED
Karma is a good restaurant located in a quiet area near downtown. The ambience is a little upscale but not too bad for the kind of place it's trying to be.
A delicious list of menu items, ranging from appetizers, to grilled meat and curries, rice…More »
10. Audreys Books
I love Audreys Books. Why go to Chapters when there's Audreys!? The store is a very spacious two-floored store (basement being the second) with a huge selection of books. It's, by no means, small or limited.
They have discounts on all Globe & Mail…More »
11. Wee Book Inn
Wee book inn is a gem of a used-books store. Although I prefer the location and the spacious settings of the one on Whyte ave, I like that this store is located right on Jasper, close to (I think) a Second Cup and easily accessible for an afternoon…More »
12. Old Spaghetti Factory
In this world of high-end, authentic cuisine food, the Old Spaghetti Factory (I hate that name) serves awesomely predictable Italian food. Trust me on this, the food is tasty, affordable, filling, of decent variety and satisfying at the end.
Don't go…More »
13. Corso 32
Delicious food is the least one could say for this family inspired menu by chef Daniel Costa who's hometown near Napoli in Italy is the inspiration behind the name Corso 32. The food exhibits a devoted attempt at being authentic, with the nuance of…More »
14. Lazia Restaurant
Lazia is okay. There's nothing that really stands out with Lazia. Unlike others, I had fairly decent service the one time I came here. It's an upscalish, dressy place with waitresses dressed in dark cocktail dress attire, fitting the stereotype of…More »
15. Hundred Bar Kitchen
Bang! $5 for delicious burgers that are served out in an alley behind Hundred Bar and Kitchen. With smells of burning fat and cold air flowing through the narrow aisle, alley burger has the bare feel of high quality city living.
An interesting…More »

17. Pub 1905
For me, Pub 1905 is a solid 3 star pub. It's that reliable place you can always come to, knowing exactly what you will get. They have it all. They've got the set of two pool tables, they have the big bar in the center of the room, they have a…More »
