Packrat Louie is nestled in the theatre district just off Whyte Ave. When you first look at it, you wouldn't expect it to be as nice as it is inside. You would be pleasantly surprised like I was when I first walked in. The decor is modern, and the…More »

I wish I had the opportunity to visit Transcend a few more times than I actually did. It's a perfect little place to get some great coffee. I tried the Flat White as Addie suggested, and it was fantastic. The espresso was rich and full of flavour. A…More »

I have something to say that was irking me for the most part of my morning. The barista, or server, whatever you wanted to call him was oddly unenthusiastic. It felt like he wasn't happy to help me, I just didn't get a very warm vibe from him. So,…More »

Sorry to kill the awesome review streak, but I was not impressed. Sure, it's a cute, modern coffee shop with a good looking menu, but a few things made my experience go from a-ok to not-so-good.

1. They don't have WiFi. Somehow I was under the…More »

The disinterested spacey guy from Cafe Rista told me that I should go to Allegro because they have "very good pasta." I thought since he looked all hipster and trendy, he must know where the local hot spots are.

Well, his recommendation wasn't that…More »

I am so grateful for stumbling across this gem! Fresh Start Bistro boasts a soul-warming selection of sandwiches, salads, baked goods, cakes, jams, etc. They also have some winter goodies like gingerbread men which look as tasty as they are cute.…More »

Thank goodness I did my research ahead of time because I would have ended up at Ricky's with the rest of the crew - yuck.

This is a cute little restaurant in an older looking building just off St Albert trail. The building itself is only 20 years old,…More »

Never listen to hipsters with attitudes. I ended up trying Delux Burger Bar regardless of that hipster's warning, and it was one probably the best meal I had while in Edmonton! I went with some friends I was working with. It's a trendy mid-sized…More »

I wanted to go out and get a taste of Edmonton's night life before I left. My friend and I decided to come here at the suggestion of a local Yelper. And what a great suggestion it was! Apparently the Common is in an area where there aren't a lot of…More »

It was karaoke night at Hooliganz when I went. Not sure if this place has karaoke every night, or if they just have it on Friday night. I'm not sure if I would consider it a dive, but it's close. They offer pretty typical drinks and beers - nothing…More »

Love this place! If you're looking for a good French bistro, this is it! All the servers and most of the patrons spoke French. The menu is offered in French and English. The lunch menu was very Quebecois, bistro style comfort food with a modern…More »
