1. The Bothy Wine & Whisky Bar
Edmonton, AB T6H 4J8
(780) 761-1761
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Wine Bars,
Irish
I must certainly add that after going there a few more times, I've had the opportunity to try out the food. Trust me, their savory meat pies are just terrific (you could easily get addicted to the beef and mushroom pie).
Also, it's worth adding…More »

The Bothy is really, really a stand out. A stand out of no other kind! The word bothy means a… Read more »
2. River Valley Cycle
Although I'm not really into cycling and spending thousand bucks on a bike, I love this store! Have been here on two occasions and the more recent one was just to find out details about how to identify my bike size and how to choose a bike.
The…More »
3. Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant
Padmanadi is such a nice vegetarian restaurant! I thoroughly enjoyed the food here. The focus of the menu is very Asian with food from China, Thailand, Indonesia and perhaps others, giving it a sort of eclectic feel to Asian cuisine. The…More »
4. Sweet Mango
Sweet Mango is a generic Asian food restaurant that serves a huge variety of Vietnamese and Thai food. I've been here a couple of times and am yet to be disappointed. I wouldn't go out and say that their Vietnamese or their Thai food is extremely…More »
5. Transcend Coffee
I'm a huge Transcend fan and can hence become a bit of a coffee snob. I"ll be the first to say that. There's good reason, though, to be avidly seeking a great cup of coffee, be it a perfect crèma to a slightly acidic and flavorful espresso, the…More »
6. Chez Cora
Located in the unlikeliest of places - on Calgary Tr halfway between Whitemud and Anthony Henday. I've been there a couple of times and have always had to wait for a table! There's this huge line of people trying to get in and it usually takes…More »
7. Delux Burger Bar
Trendy places in the middle of nowhere seems to be E-town's motto! Delux burger offers yummy burgers at acceptable prices, with a modern décor, the kind that makes you wanna drink martinis.
I had a classic vodka martini with my "The Delux" burger,…More »
8. Golden Rice Bowl
A chinese restaurant that has a lot of chinese patrons has to be good! And yes it was. Golden Rice Bowl is a pretty big dim sum restaurant with ample seating capacity and a several kinds of dim sums, as expected. From what I could tell, it seems…More »
9. Cha For Tea Palace
Although I'm not a big dim sum guy, I do appreciate the preparation and execution involved with dim sum. Cha For Tea palace has the strangest name (why are they telling us that tea is called cha in Chinese?), but they serve up a full variety of dim…More »
10. Bliss Baked Goods
Bliss baked goods is a small little kosher bakery, really in the middle of nowhere. It's part of a small strip mall that contains Burger baron and some other random stores and maybe even an auto-parts shop. In fact, you might not even find it!
…More »
11. Wild West Saloon
Situated in Edmonton's north end, pretty much in a small strip mall, the Wild West Saloon is certainly supposed to transport you to the wild west. Men in hats, women wearing cowgirl boots, country music - the wild west is a weirdly unique…More »
12. Everything Cheese
I've got to say that Edmonton has a lot of passionate people in various streams of life. Stemming from a passion for cheese perfection, Everything Cheese recently opened (I believe 2 months back) in the 53rd ave exit area off Whitemud. Of course, I…More »
13. The Burger Joint
A brand new customizable-burger joint has opened up in the South Ed Common/Milwoods area. It's about a minute's drive from South Ed Common and the only reason I found this place is because it's in the strip mall where my doctor's office is. It…More »
14. Noodle Maker
Delicious ramen with a buttery miso soup and fried basa fillets on the side - now that's a meal. Noodle maker has a decent sized menu of a lot of this and that from Japanese ramen, to a Korean kimchi appetizer, a long list of chinese noodle-based…More »
15. Arbour Restaurant at Rutherford House
The Arbour is an excellent tea room located at the Rutherford House. With a decent sized menu, including a list of affordable high tea options, the Arbour is a great option for a relaxing high tea on a weekend afternoon.
The staff seem to really…More »
16. Handy Bakery
Handy Bakery is among those few places that stand out in Alberta Avenue from the exterior, while driving on 118th Ave, to the quality of the baked goods inside. Much like other businesses in this neighborhood, the bakery sticks to its roots, which…More »
17. Jasper Sushi and Noodle House
This noodle house was suggested to me by Jacqueline S. as a cheap and low-key dinner option in the Oliver neighborhood. Sure enough, I came here on a weekday evening and thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. It's a fusion-style Asian restaurant with a…More »
18. 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 »

Hundred is a decent place for an expensive cocktail evening. Unfortunately, the hybrid lounge-fine… Read more »
19. Veggie Garden
I would come here again. Vegetarianism is ubiquitous in India, so much so that 40-50% of Indians are vegetarians. It's good to see a restaurant here that embraces that culture.
At $12.99, the buffet is a great option. They have about 5-6 different…More »
20. Popular Bakery
I'm surprised by the number of interesting businesses that dot the Alberta Avenue neighborhood. Popular bakery is exactly one of those. Old school, been there, been renovated etc., this bakery carries the charm of an old neighborhood like none…More »
21. Veggie Garden Restaurant
It's funny that there are two altogether different Veggie Garden restaurants in Edmonton. I had been to the Indian restaurant on the south side about six weeks back and tried this one more recently. My! Can I just take a pause and say that it's…More »
22. El Rancho Spanish Restaurant
Alberta Avenue is slowly becoming my favorite part of town to explore! We explored El Rancho the other day and I must say the food I ate was... mmm, really good! I just ordered two appetizers and as a general rule I should probably order a main…More »
23. Yellowhead Brewery
Hung out for an hour out here tonight, a Sunday night, with live music, cheap beer ($3.75/pint) and delicious looking noshes. There's very little to complain about the hour I spent here. Although they're only open on Sunday nights, it's a great…More »
24. High Voltage Food & Coffee Bar
It's hard to not give High Voltage a 5 star rating. They're basically a gyros/falafel/donair place with also a few options for sandwiches served on white buns. They have Montreal smoked meat too, but I'm not sure if I'd have it out here simply…More »
25. Sherbrooke Liquor Store
Thank you, thank you! I'm so flattered to get this dukedom. I was in it for the long haul, for the journey. Yet, I look back and feel blessed to have won it. It's not easy accepting a dukedom this big. With great power comes great responsibility,…More »
26. Rosario's Pizza & Pub
Rosario's is surprisingly awesome. Why was I surprised? When I first heard that Rosario's might be showing the Oscars I had the impression that the place was a small divey pub with a 21" tube TV from the 90s. I was pretty amazed that on entering…More »
