1. Oodle Noodle
The Whyte ave location of Oodle Noodle was one of my favourite places to go for a bite when I lived near campus, and I was pretty pumped to see the downtown location open up.
I prefer the food here over similar places like Wok Box. I think their…More »
2. The Marc
I was pretty excited about this place opening, so I made plans to go almost as soon as it opened. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but filled up in the next hour.
The service was pleasant and welcoming. They asked if we were in a rush, or if we…More »
3. Elm Cafe
I love Elm Cafe. I was so excited when it opened. No more Second Cup for this girl! Their coffee is great, the sandwiches are delicious, the muffins are tasty, the service is friendly. I highly recommend it. My only issue with the place is that it's…More »
4. Normand's Restaurant
Normand's is basically right outside my door, but I just went here for the first time last night for a belated birthday celebration.
We started off with dried musk ox and the wild game goulash. The goulash was decent, but nothing spectacular. The…More »
5. Duchess Bake Shop
Duchess is definitely worth a try, or two, or three.... or more?
On my second visit, a friend and I bought 6 (ok maybe 7) items between us to share. Everything was fantastic. It's great to have a bakery like this in Edmonton, we're definitely lacking…More »
6. Somerville Wine Room
This place just opened up about a month or so ago across the street from Duchess Bake Shop on 124 St, and a friend of mine was really excited to try it (mostly because Duchess also makes their desserts! (http://www.facebook.co...)
We finally made it…More »
7. The Sequel Cafe
I think Sequel (CASH ONLY!) is now at the top of my list for downtown lunch destinations. It is located in the building kitty-corner to Churchill Square, with just a little sign out front on the sidewalk to let you know it's there. There's a couple…More »
8. Fresh Cafe & Espresso Bar
Considering I've been here for brunch 3 weekends in a row, plus some evening snack visits, it's probably time for me to update my review.
The staff here continue to be amazing.. so welcoming and friendly, and the food is delicious. I'm still in love…More »

Fresh Cafe opened up not too long ago, just around the corner from my apartment, and filling a… Read more »
9. Niche
Niche opened about a month ago along my route home from the grocery store, and after some tasty sounding tweets, some friends and I decided to check it out.
From the outside, we didn't really know what to expect. The windows were dark and aside from…More »
10. Transcend Coffee
Transcend just keeps getting better and better. This is their third location, where Axis used to be on Jasper Ave. I never made it to Axis, so I can't comment on how much it's changed inside, but given how quickly they opened up, I'm impressed with…More »
11. Jasper Sushi and Noodle House
I go to this place semi-regularly, and I get take out even more often. It's never really very busy, hidden just off Jasper ave, and my food is always ready before they say it will be. I used to live right across the street and so I'm a little sad…More »
12. Commodore Restaurant
The Commodore is my go-to place for a quick, cheap breakfast downtown. It doesn't look like much, but the food is good, especially for the price, and the service is quick and very friendly. It is cash-only though.
It's also not a great place for a…More »
13. Tres Carnales Taqueria
Tres Carnales is a fun addition to the downtown dining scene, if you're lucky enough to get a table or have the patience to wait in line for a bit. I found their ordering system a bit confusing at first, but the staff are friendly and the food is…More »
14. Dauphine Bakery and Bistro
The Queen of Tarts was one of the most popular booths at the City Centre Farmer's Market, and now they've opened their own shop on 104 st.
In addition to the tasty tarts they sold at the market, they now have a few delicious breads, a take out menu,…More »
15. Eva Sweet Waffles
The best waffles I've had this side of the Atlantic. Unlike your standard waffle, these are sweeter and crispier and are delicious on their own.
Definitely worth tracking them down on their website or on Twitter.
16. Cafe Beirut
We stopped in here for dinner on a blizzardy Saturday, and were the only ones there for the whole evening. It's not a big place, but it's nice and cozy, just south of Jasper ave. I wasn't sure what to expect, given that their Whyte ave location is…More »
17. d'Lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar - CLOSED
d'Lish is awesome. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the dirty names for weekly specials.
My favourite thing about d'Lish though is their commitment to local, seasonal food. Ask about what's on your plate, and you just might learn something new.More »
18. Press'd
My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch after an afternoon of shopping in City Centre mall. We each got a half sandwich: mine had chicken, apples, spinach, fig jam and baked brie, and his was turkey and artichokes. The prices were pretty…More »
19. Glenora Bistro
This is my favourite spot for visits with my dad when he's in town and wants to go for breakfast at 7:30am... around that time on a weekday, most other options near downtown are either fast-food or Denny's-ish sit down places. So the Glenora Bistro…More »
20. Bistro 112
Bistro 112 deserves some credit for staying open across the street from a Second Cup and a couple blocks away from Starbucks (and another Second Cup). The biggest draw for me here is coffee and baked goods for less than across the street, with the…More »
21. Corso 32
I had heard great things about Corso 32, and I was really excited to check it out. Overall, the experience was good, but it definitely started out poorly.
I made a reservation for my boyfriend and I, and when we arrived, we were seated in the middle…More »
22. V Sandwiches
V sandwiches is one of my go to downtown lunch spots for fast, cheap and delicious. My go-to is the BBQ pork, and as long as I show up after 12:20, I never wait more than 5 minutes for my sub.
If 5 minutes is too long, or you want it right at noon,…More »
23. Pub 1905
This is my go-to place for drinks with friends downtown. There's nothing about 1905 that is particularly amazing, but meets all of my bar criteria. Fairly reasonable drink prices, tasty food, good seating, and a music level that makes conversation…More »
24. Steeps Urban Teahouse
Steeps is the perfect spot for a nice relaxing afternoon. The atmosphere is super chill, and I love picking my teacups. I haven't ventured beyond just tea here, but what they serve is definitely better than the bags you'll find at places that don't…More »
25. I Love Sushi
This little place is hidden just north of Jasper ave on 105 st. There are about 10 tables, so it fills up quickly at lunch time. The decor and the staff are friendly and inviting, and your food comes very quickly.
This isn't the best sushi in town,…More »
26. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
I go to the downtown Famoso... a lot. I'm trying to cut back to once or twice a month instead of once or twice a week.
This is probably my favourite pizza in town. The crust on its own is delicious, and the toppings are good quality and fresh. And…More »
27. Numchok Wilai
I've gone passed this place a lot (mostly on my way to Duchess) and after hearing some great things, I went for dinner there with my aunt. We got our standard "starving student" order, which means we order a giant pile of things so we can try a bunch…More »
28. The Dish Bistro
The Dish is a quiet little place with a very relaxed atmosphere. The interior is simple and cozy, and I walk right past it pretty much every time I go.
The menu is mostly variations on comfort food. It's not huge, but every time I've been they've had…More »
29. Dahlia's Mediterranean Bistro
Dahlia's is a great lunch spot in the High Street area, just north of MEC.
They serve tasty looking Lebanese food (shwarmas, etc), but I went with the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Yum. Now, I haven't had smoked meat in Montreal, but this was pretty…More »
30. Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse
I've been putting off reviewing Pampa for awhile now because I've been conflicted about how I feel. I really wanted to love the place, but I was a disappointed with my experience there.
The food here was pretty tasty. The service was pleasant. The…More »
31. Haweli Restaurant
This is one of the restaurants that I always forget about, in the little boardwalk strip on 103 st and 102 ave. The food here is great. Every time I go for the lunch buffet, I tell myself that I am going to exercise more restraint this time. But it…More »
32. Remedy Cafe
Mmm chai... I'm a big Remedy fan, but now that I'm not in school anymore, I don't find myself on the south side of the river much and I was really missing it.
This new location doesn't quite have the atmosphere of the southside, but the food and…More »
33. Caffe Sorrentino
This cafe feels a bit out of place in City Center mall, but I like it. Their sandwiches are ok, although a bit pricey. They have good coffee, a full bar, and they sell Baci chocolate bars which seem like the most amazing thing ever. They also have…More »
34. Crepe Symphony
I was kind of unimpressed by my first trip here, so I decided to give them another shot before I reviewed them. I'm glad I did.
I had lunch here today with a friend. A single crepe makes a good light lunch, so if you're starving don't expect one to…More »
35. Nomad Kitchen
After missing out on Nomad last summer, I found them on Rice Howard Way last week. They have one special each day, which makes ordering a bit awkward. "I'll have the... only thing on your menu?"
They may only do one thing, but they do it well. The…More »
