1. Kelsey's Restaurant - CLOSED
It was only after our favourite breakfast places and the new iHOP informed us of their hour-ish wait times that we opted for lunch instead of brunch, and Kelsey's was closest.
Maybe because it was just barely 12:01 PM is the reason it was so quiet?…More »
2. Canadian Tire Stores
Edmonton, AB T6J 5M8
(780) 438-4921
Categories:
Tires,
Home & Garden,
Health and Medical
Points for having everything. I really do mean everything. Who knew you could buy tea towels here? Canadian Tire: It's not just for Canadian tires anymore. (New slogan, y/n?)
So thumbs up for being able to find what I was looking for (a collapsible…More »
3. Beijing Beijing Restaurant
Beijing Beijing was our last-minute dinner spot on Valentine's Day. Was it because it was a bit late, 8 PM-ish, that the place was near empty, or is it usually like that? I am still left wondering. And why is it called Beijing Beijing, not just…More »
4. Banzai Restaurant
I was so looking forward to my trip to Banzai after checking out its stellar reviews on Yelp, so I was extra disappointed when it didn't meet expectations, or even come close.
Maybe it was because I had to wake up at 6 AM that day - a Saturday. Maybe…More »
5. Chili's Texas Grill
I do love the rooftop patio at this location of Chili's. A perfect place to sip a Texas Bulldog and watch the shenanigans of Whyte Ave down below! Only in summer though, of course!
I stopped in here for an impromptu supper out with a good friend. We…More »
6. Champ's Sports Bar & Grill
A pretty standard sports bar kind of place. It's a small-ish bar, but has the kind of atmosphere that encourages standing and mingling, so it works out OK.
The beer is always flowing here with the younger crowd of university-types. Other drinks are…More »
7. The Twisted Fork Diner - CLOSED
I like visiting the Twisted Fork for breakfast because so few people know that they have a great brunch menu. Although lighting is low in this restaurant/bar, big storefront windows let the light in during breakfast hours.
Like most of the fare here,…More »
8. Lotus Soul Gym
Lotus Soul is conveniently located on Whyte Avenue, which makes it a quick bike or bus ride away from the university area. The space is very clean and modern, designed with a very attractive minimalist aesthetic. Lotus Soul also has a handy and cheap…More »
9. Famous Wok
Visited the City Centre Mall for a quick lunch out with some co-workers (big spenders, eh?) and wound up eating at Famous Wok, located in the West Food Court.
Stars for a yummy, cheap lunch (went with the veggies, rice, and sesame chicken combo) and…More »
10. Urban Diner II
I enjoyed my first foray into the Urban Diner experience. Sunny yellow walls? Check. Super happy staff? Check! It was a long wait for the late lunch, and the disorganization of the place didn't help much, but I think that can be chalked up to the…More »
11. Chicken Scratch
Chicken Scratch, I think you have the cutest name of any store on Whyte. Plus, I'm slightly obsessed with greeting cards, so this store is definitely one I think is worth checking out for any crafty gal or Whyte Ave wanderer.
Nestled in near When Pigs…More »
12. That's Aroma
This was the spot I chose for my birthday dinner last year. I follow the theory that adding garlic makes any dish better, so this restaurant seemed like a natural fit for our tastes.
Our server was friendly, albeit somewhat forgetful. Although he…More »
13. Chez Cora
After much buzz, I finally checked out Chez Cora this morning. From what I understand, it was a smart move to visit on a weekday. It was quiet when I arrived at around 8 AM, but the place had filled up even closer to 9. Glad I didn't have to wait in…More »
14. Joeys
It's quite funny that most of these reviews being with "I like Joey's." There's not that much to dislike about Joey's. It's a classy place with a cool bar and the drink menu contains a cute, sarcastic handbook on how to use the menu itself to pick up…More »
15. Chianti Cafe & Restaurant
Chianti was never somewhere I'd been dying to go (despite my solid addiction to pasta) but my pals and I were carb-hungry and in the Old Strathcona area so it was off to Chianti's (as it is colloquially known - where did that 's come from?) we went.
…More »
16. H & R Block
I'm really torn on how many stars to throw up there for this review. One one hand, I was happy with my tax return, so obviously the accountant was doing her job correctly, right?
On the other hand, this office was quite poorly run. Even though I…More »
17. 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 »
18. Sorrentino's Bistro-Bar
I always try to like Sorrentino's because I love Italian food and I like that this chain is local-ish.
My food was yummy (although to be honest, I've had better penne arrabiate at other places) and we were brought fresh bread. The dip for the bread…More »
19. Best Buds Flower Company
My dad has been coming here for years to pick up flowers for my mom, so I was totally game when my mom suggested it as the place to pick flowers for the wedding.
We walked in a staff member sat us at a table with two binders of flower photos. After we…More »
20. It's All Greek
Not too bad for an evening out with an old friend, but nothing spectacular, either.
I was catching up with a gal pal just back from four months in India. The location was perfect (right downtown) and the atmosphere was plenty quiet, so we were able to…More »
21. Costco
Costco is a good idea in principle, if you are a member of the Duggar clan or something similar. 28 bazillion kids and counting! If you need massive amounts of everything at bulk prices, this is the place to be. But if you're a childless couple, you…More »
22. Nomiya
Nomiya was alright. Its menu is pretty different from any other Japanese restaurant that I've been to. Bento boxes? No. Tapas? Well, I guess so. They call it tapas, but isn't that Spanish? Anyway, they serve a vareity of rolls, ramen, and Japanese…More »
23. Pub 1905
Pub 1905 is what it is. An ultra-casual (and I'm not using that term loosely, like more dive bar than anything) place for drinks after work downtown with your buddies, maybe play a round or two on the pool table.
The food was better than I expected…More »
24. Sankyu 2 Go
Thank you, Sankyu, for having such a convenient location, right smack dab in the middle of downtown. LRT station right outside? Check. Bus route? Check. Walkable to bars for post-sushi drinks? Triple check!
But really, it is the only excellent thing…More »
25. Teddy's Palace & Grill
Stopped in for lunch and it was A-OK. It's a bit of a weird spot, more of an older crowd. My gal pal and I were definitely the youngest ones in there by several years.
The food was actually was pretty good (my clubhouse had a delicious sweet mayo) and…More »
26. Swish Vintage
Edmonton, AB T5J 3V8
(780) 479-8408
Categories:
Antiques,
Used, Vintage & Consignment
This adorable vintage shop is right downtown, but if you didn't know it was there, you could almost pass by without noticing it.
It was kind of awkward when I walked in. There was a film crew inside shooting some images of different items and I wasn't…More »
27. Kool Nails
My cousin was in town this week and she was dying for a pedicure while she was visiting. We had a hair appointment booked at a salon on Whyte for later in the afternoon, so we went to the nearby Kool Nails. What a terrible name for a nail salon, I…More »
28. Boston Pizza
I normally wouldn't go out of my way to visit a BP, but it was a convenient location to meet our friends before a movie before South Common.
We weren't there long, but it looks like any other Boston Pizza. The drinks were cold, the cheese bread with…More »
29. The Sutton Place Hotel
In a word, disappointed. I attended a Christmas party at the Sutton Place last night; we were in the Vintage Room.
Definite pros: the room was quite nice, the acoustics were good, I liked the lighting, and....y'know, I just can't think of a fourth.
…More »
30. Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre
The Tour De Malls De Edmonton continues! And falls flat.
You have to realize that this review is coming from a fashion-hungry 20-something woman, and that is not who this mall is designed for. In an area that's pretty senior-citizen heavy, this mall…More »
31. 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 »
32. Dewey's
Edmonton, AB T6G 2N2
(780) 492-1762
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Coffee & Tea,
Dive Bars
I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather being what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food,…More »
33. Golden Rice Bowl
Very high hopes heading into Golden Rice Bowl. It was a very chilly night in Edmonton and I was tired, cold, hungry, etc. A high-rated Chinese restaurant? Yep, that sounded just about perfect.
Michael J and I ordered the dinner for two. It's usually…More »
34. Toscana Italian Grill
Stopped by here for lunch with my brother and his girlfriend on their suggestion. They live in the neighbourhood and they've been making an effort to check out more local places around their house, which I love. I looked up the menu for this place…More »
35. Save On Foods
I can't remember the last time I had a grocery store shopping experience this poor. And like, I really love grocery store shopping. It's usually one of my favourite things to do all week. But it was late at night and I was already parked there to…More »
36. New York Penn Station
New York, NY 10001
USA
(212) 630-6401
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
Not what I expected. Grandeur and an amazing entrance to the city upon my first time visiting, not so much. It's crowded and just feels kind of unhappy. Fluorescent lighting, dirt. But y'know, it got me from point A to point B and it was easy to…More »
37. Tandori
Disappointing! Here is what happened to me on Wednesday: I went to Elections Alberta to try to vote, as per the instructions on their website. I drove from the south side to the north side, only to be told to head back to the south side to visit my…More »
38. Two Rooms Cafe
I was hesitant going into dinner here. Two stars on Yelp? And I mean, you guys know your stuff. But I was hoping that this time, collectively, you would all be wrong. But I won't doubt you again.
The Two Rooms Cafe was host to a Girl Geek Dinner, so…More »
