Good Ol' Old Strathcona
See All Lists
1. Original Joe's
Whether you are heading out for a casual dinner or late-night drinks, this location of Original Joe's consistently serves yummy food for a reasonable price, without music blasting right in your ear at full volume. I also love love LOVE that the…More »
2. Bulk Barn
I really like Bulk Barn. I mean, really, really, *really* like Bulk Barn!
After discovering this Canadian gem through the Yelp talk boards, I stopped over to check it out for myself. I intended to run in for a minute, only to say I'd been there, and I…More »
3. Press Cafe & Bistro
It's kind of cool to have a coffee bar with hookahs now on Whyte Ave. It seems like the kind of thing that should have been a long time coming, don't ya think?
It's a pretty large coffee shop, and although it was empty when I went in, I didn't read…More »
4. Nokomis Clothing - CLOSED
A big, airy space with old, creaky floors sets up Nokomis as you walk in and feast your fashionista eyes on racks and racks of beautiful Canadian-made and -designed goods!
Very pretty frocks and trendy jeans are two of the staples here. Lots of homey…More »
5. Walterdale Playhouse
A small-ish theatre in the heart of Old Strathcona that works overtime during the Fringe Festival, but runs all year round with a great selection of shows.
I caught Walterdale's production of Charlie Brown here - LOVED IT! The theatre's small layout…More »
6. Cafe Dabar - CLOSED
In addition to computers snug in the back of this coffee shop, wireless is reliable here (although you have to ask for the password) plus plug-ins - so many plug-ins! Hallelujah!
Seating all around is very comfy, with a big set of couches in the…More »
7. Artisan Resto-Cafe
Coffee here is amazing, and will perk you up right up for the massive meal that is about to follow! What I love about Artisan's big menu is its diversity. Big and small meals, food for the carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores.
In addition to a pipin'…More »
8. Gravity Pope
Gravity Pope is a trendy spot on Whyte Avenue with a very cool shoe collection. These aren't shoes you'll find at any ol' shoe store. No, this is hip, futuristic footwear for the modern and urban girl.
Watch for sales at GP because the prices here are…More »
9. Princess Theatre
One of the cool, historic parts of the area to remain on Whyte Ave to this day, so I'm automatically in love.
Even with some renovations, this theatre has retained its old-timey feel, from the grand marquee above the entrance to the ornate iron above…More »
10. Varscona Theatre
I've been lucky to catch a lot of great theatre here. Improv on Friday and Saturday evenings, plus other plays along the way.
Improv here is a must-see. I love taking friends from out of town to the Varscona to catch the great local performers here.…More »
11. Husky-Old Strathcona Carwash
Want to go through one of those automated carwashes? Sure, they're super fun and you can pretend that you're in some lost underwater city, but it also costs $11 and the ride is way too short. And with the dirt this city's been accumulating over the…More »
12. Doan's Vietnamese Restaurant
I was intrigued to try Doan's after the reviews here on the site. The restaurant was bigger than expected, and actually much busier than I expected. We went in at around 2 PM on a Monday and there must have been a half dozen other tables ordering as…More »
13. The Beauty Parlour
After dear Dani, my beloved hair stylist of six years, left for Toronto to pursue bigger dreams, I was left without my most trusted beauty weapon. What was a girl to do?
I turned to Yelp, of course! I tried one salon (great colour, but she cut it…More »
14. Murrieta's Bar and Grill
I came in for brunch with my parents and fiance at Murietta's a little while ago.
I had never been in before and had no clue that they offered a brunch menu! The doors and dark windows had always seemed intimidating, but it was a friendly place when I…More »
15. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Oops, a bit of a belated review on the Edmonton Fringe Festival, but here it is!
The Fringe is my absolute favourite festival of the summer. It really finishes off the summer on a great note and it's the time that I think Old Strathcona really comes…More »
16. C'est Sera Boutique
C'est Sera is a great little boutique and the fashions they carry here are totally on point. This location is just down the way from Whyte Avenue on 104th - its sister store is located on trendy 104th downtown.
I love the clothes and accessories in…More »

Among my favourite clothing boutiques in the Old Strathcona area, for sure. If there was ever a… Read more »
17. Furusato Japanese Restaurant
I was skeptical of Furusato because of the whole, you-can't-see-in-through-the-w indows thing. It's also past the tracks, and almost directly under Candy Spa. So, y'know, it's a bit iffy when you're walking by. But I'm very glad I decided to venture…More »
18. Mongolia Express
Edmonton, AB T6E 6T3
(780) 988-7282
I think this might be my favourite quick eats spot in the city. I find myself eating on the go pretty frequently and I love that this place isn't part of a massive chain. I also love any kind of Asian flavours, plus the part where it's made exactly…More »
19. Orange Hall Strathcona
Edmonton, AB T6E 2H1
(780) 432-7077
A lovely little space for all kinds of lovely little events! I was here for the Handmade Mafia, which is a monthly craft fair in our fair city. The holiday market (just one week before Christmas) was super busy, but the space remained surprising…More »
20. The Bamboo Ballroom
This might just be my favourite little store on Whyte. Well, it's not exactly on Whyte, it's just a half a block off, but you know what I'm saying. My style ranges from preppy to retro to urban depending on my mood that day. But I know that when I go…More »
21. Marble Slab Creamery
What can I say? There's no bigger fan of ice cream than me. The idea of ice cream mixed with mixins is especially intriguing. But for all its positives, this location of the Marble Slab chain had terrible, horrible service when I visited.
there's…More »
22. Cafe Coral de Cuba
While I was kind of bummed to say goodbye to Cafe Dabar and its very friendly owner (Manager? Barista? Whatever, the chipper dude who was always there), I do love to see a great new cafe!
Cafe Coral de Cuba has kind of a waaaay too long name…More »
23. Old Strathcona Antique Mall
The Antique Mall can only be summed up by one word: magical!
Just don't go an hour before they close, like I did. You'll end up having gone through about 1/4 of the place when all of a sudden it's 6 PM.
Furniture, clothing, collectibles, toys, comics,…More »
24. The Old Strathcona Rack
After plans for Girls Night Out Bulldogs at Julio's went south (a 45 min wait for two of us!), we made the decision to check out The Rack.
It was about 9 PM on a Saturday night when we arrived so it wasn't very busy (yet). We saddled up at the bar…More »
