1. Chianti Cafe & Restaurant
I believe Chianti is one of the classic eating venues in Edmonton, and it's one of my all-time favorites. No matter when I go, they always have a table, even if I'm with a rather large group. The setting here is comfortable and romantic, and you can…More »
2. Julio's Barrio Mexican Restaurant
Julio's Barrio is one of my favorite restaurants on Whyte Ave, as the food never disappoints. I love the constant lively atmosphere of this place; you can't come here for a quiet meal, that's for sure! I came here once with a friend, and we had to…More »
3. Yiannis Taverna Greek Restaurant
When I feel like Greek, it's off to Yianni's I go. They have a fantastic menu, and it's my personal goal to try everything at least once. The last time I went I wasn't too hungry, so I just had the tzatziki and ek mek. The tzatziki was perfect; not…More »
4. The Creperie
The Creperie is one of the best restaurants in Edmonton. It has a very romantic and old-fashioned atmosphere, coupled with some of the best crepes you will find within miles of this city. It's quite pricey for a single entree, but if you get the full…More »
5. Tony Roma's
I loved this place when I was a kid, and I still go here when I'm craving ribs. It's really the only place to go for ribs, and Tony Roma's knows it, that's why they're always advertising nothing but. I've eaten at this location several times, and…More »
6. Dynasty Restaurant
I came a bit late for dim sum on Sunday, so the quality of the food wasn't that great. They close early at 3pm on Sundays, so you might want to learn from my mistake and go early. By the time I arrived, the last dim sum carts were going around, and…More »
7. The Mongolie Grill
If we were able to give half-stars, I would give the Mongolie Grill 3 1/2. I've always heard good things about Mongolian grill restaurants, how you can choose what you want in your dish, and then they cook it for you right in front of your face. I…More »
8. Mirama Dining & Lounge
My friends and I usually go to Mirama when we're craving dim sum, not because it's the best, but rather because it's reasonably priced and isn't too far for any of us. It's located on the top floor of a Chinese shopping centre, and it's hard to miss…More »
9. It's All Greek
Tucked away among the corporate buildings in downtown, this restaurant may go unnoticed by some, which is quite unfortunate. If you're actively seeking it though, there's almost no way you can miss its big bold white letters against the green awning.…More »
10. Buddy Wonton Seafood Restaurant
I go to Buddy's when I feel like having Chinese, but am too lazy to cook. It's not the best Chinese food you'll ever have, but it does the job and it's cheap. I'm not sure if I would classify them entirely as a Chinese seafood restaurant, since most…More »
11. Hudsons Canadian Tap House Bourbon Street
This is the newest Hudson's location in Edmonton, located in the busy eating district of West Ed. Mall, known as Bourbon Street. Seeing as I've never been too crazy about the other restaurants in this area, Hudson's Tap House is a nice Canadian…More »
12. Spicy Garden Restaurant
I've been here a couple times, but I'm sad to say that the first visit was better than my more recent one. Spicy Garden is pretty large, and is a step up from regular no-frills Chinese restaurants, with its booth seating and colorful upholstery. But…More »
13. Keg Steakhouse & Bar
If you love steak, then the Keg will do it for you. I've never really been a steak girl, and only occasionally enjoy it once in awhile if cooked right, so this isn't really my hang-out. But they do steaks quite well -- I just think it's overpriced.…More »
