On Edmonton's LRT
See All Lists
1. Art Gallery of Alberta
It's nice to, once in a while, come to a place of solitude like the AGA. I've been here three times this summer and I find it the perfect place to unwind and relax in the sublime constructs of this space enjoying some beautiful art
The quality of the…More »
2. Three Bananas Cafe
I've been here a few times now and haven't really had a bad experience. It's a lovely cafe with quite a bit of room and a summer patio overlooking Churchill Square. They serve up some awesome coffee, either Intelligentsia beans or Transcend beans…More »
3. The Sequel Cafe
Sequel is a completely adorable cafe that serves a modern, almost Californian menu of lunch options. From delicious sounding unheard of stuff like cream of cauliflower soup, to sausage calzones, veggie burritos and a lot more!
The reasons for 5…More »
4. The Sherlock Holmes Pub
Sherlock's got it going! A nice name, a good location, a fine choice of British pub food and a nice collection of drinks!
I've been here just two times and I would certainly recommend this place on a weekday night, if you're looking to have a couple…More »
5. The Hat
I'd love to give The Hat a 4* rating, but I was a tad disappointed with the service. I usually don't expect the best of service at a lounge on a Thursday night; however, I still think they're two waiters away from getting things just right. (I…More »
6. Lazia Restaurant
Lazia is okay. There's nothing that really stands out with Lazia. Unlike others, I had fairly decent service the one time I came here. It's an upscalish, dressy place with waitresses dressed in dark cocktail dress attire, fitting the stereotype of…More »
7. Empire City Centre 9 Cinemas
I really like that this multiplex is VERY conveniently located. Firstly, it's in downtown, which is always convenient, any time of the day. Secondly it's right on the LRT, which again, is great!
Now, as multiplexes go, this one isn't particularly…More »
8. DeVine Wines & Spirits
deVine Wines is much more than just a wine shop. It's a shop that boasts in its knowledge of wines more than anything else. Located very conveniently on 104th street and Jasper, this wineshop makes living easy. Right outside the LRT station and…More »
9. City Market
If it's summer - better get your ass down to the City Market!! I unequivocally proclaim that the City Market is better than the Strathcona Farmers' market in the short-lived warm months that people out here call summer.
I have no clue why I haven't…More »
10. Tzin Wine & Tapas
Went here last night, wtih fellow yelpers. Although this wine bar is sort of small it has a warm, homely, yet chic atmosphere about it. Not too loud, decent music plays in the background and the occasional sound of grilling meat with eruptions of…More »
11. Blue Plate Diner
Oh Blue Plate! What a lovely place!
Blue Plate Diner is an artsy diner that serves up an exciting menu. I haven't had brunch/breakfast out here but have been out for dinner and was quite impressed!
I like that the menu has a modern twist to it,…More »
12. Corso 32
Delicious food is the least one could say for this family inspired menu by chef Daniel Costa who's hometown near Napoli in Italy is the inspiration behind the name Corso 32. The food exhibits a devoted attempt at being authentic, with the nuance of…More »
13. Transcend Coffee
Transcend opened nearly three weeks back and I feel rather disappointed that it's taken me so long to come down to the new location. I was driving to physical therapy yesterday and stopped for some soup and coffee. Is there really any point to me…More »
14. Wee Book Inn
Wee book inn is a gem of a used-books store. Although I prefer the location and the spacious settings of the one on Whyte ave, I like that this store is located right on Jasper, close to (I think) a Second Cup and easily accessible for an afternoon…More »
15. Audreys Books
I love Audreys Books. Why go to Chapters when there's Audreys!? The store is a very spacious two-floored store (basement being the second) with a huge selection of books. It's, by no means, small or limited.
They have discounts on all Globe & Mail…More »
16. Drift Mobile Eatery
I've been conflicted between a 4 and 5 star rating for Drift. I really do love their sandwiches here and so, I'm certainly a fan! I could easily see myself addicted to Drift if I worked or lived near their stop and could visit them every now and…More »
17. University of Alberta
I haven't had the opportunity to study at U of A but have worked here for two years now and can certainly vouch for the high standards that this university holds.
I don't think many people in Edmonton realize that U of A is ranked 59th in the world…More »
18. Java Jive
4 stars to Java Jive because I personally think it's the best place to get coffee on campus! U of A has various coffee places (a couple of Timmys, Starbucks, Cram Dunk etc.), but I like Java Jive in particular because they actually make an effort…More »
19. Campus Tower Suites Hotel
Now, this is what I'm talking about! Campus tower is an urbanish hotel right outside the university (on top of Earls). I had the great opportunity to stay at this hotel and had a wonderful time.
Of course, it's easy to like it, since I got to stay…More »
20. Earl's Restaurants
The Earl's on campus is a strictly o.k. place. I don't have too much Earl's experience but I tend to feel that this Earl's at least seems to be a little off.
I find it hard to understand what the Earl's is trying to be. Do they want to be a…More »
21. Good Earth Coffeehouse & Bakery
No alarms and No surprises ..... Good Earth is a lovely little coffee shop with surprisingly spacious seating and free wifi. They serve up delectable baked goods with a good selection of coffees, from the espresso clan to the brewed varieties. I…More »
22. Foote Field
The Foote Field is a regular sized soccer/football field with two small seating stands. The GA stand has long benches without marked seat numbers, while the reserved stand has actual seats.
It has several advantages to it. For starters, the best…More »
23. Southgate Centre
In my opinion, southgate is the best mall in Edmonton. Why? ......
1.) Size and Variety - it's a great size. Big enough to have great variety, not too big to allow creepy stores to exist. It reminds me a lot of the Westfield mall in Century City…More »
24. What The Truck
I enjoyed my time at the second What the Truck event! What the Truck is a great little food festival that's starting to gain momentum in Edmonton and with good reason. There are so many nice food trucks in town now and it's a good way to get all of…More »
25. Corona Coffee Station
I love the name of this coffee shop. They could have gone with Corona Station Coffee shop but a name like Corona Coffee Station just has the right sound to it! Came here late on weekday evening right before they were meant to close (5:30 p.m., if I…More »
26. 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 »
27. Dauphine Bakery and Bistro
Queen of Tarts is so much more than just tarts. A lovely bakery with french inspired breads, lots of treats, fancy small jars of jams, foie gras, local dried herbs etc. and of course delectable, pretty tarts. The breads are really good here. Try…More »
28. 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 »
29. Credo Coffee
Credo is a really awesome coffee shop. What's not to like, eh? Great coffee using Intelligentsia beans, lovely latte art, delicious cookies... oh my! Also, on Edmonton's 4th street promenade, open till 9 p.m. on school nights and of course, right…More »
30. Pub 1905
For me, Pub 1905 is a solid 3 star pub. It's that reliable place you can always come to, knowing exactly what you will get. They have it all. They've got the set of two pool tables, they have the big bar in the center of the room, they have a…More »
