One day in Edmonton
See All Lists
1. Duchess Bake Shop
Duchess is definitely worth a try, or two, or three.... or more?
On my second visit, a friend and I bought 6 (ok maybe 7) items between us to share. Everything was fantastic. It's great to have a bakery like this in Edmonton, we're definitely lacking…More »
2. 124 Grand Market
I'm so happy to see a weeknight market open up near downtown. There aren't too many vendors just yet, but the spot has a nice vibe and it's great to see so many people out and about in that part of town.
I stopped by around 8 tonight, and a lot of…More »
3. Eva Sweet Waffles
The best waffles I've had this side of the Atlantic. Unlike your standard waffle, these are sweeter and crispier and are delicious on their own.
Definitely worth tracking them down on their website or on Twitter.
4. High Level Bridge Streetcar
I lived in Edmonton for a number of years before I took the streetcar for the first time. I assumed it was just one of those things tourists did, and I took it for the first time just to get from downtown to the Fringe site. I was surprised by how…More »
5. Luzzara Coffee Bar - CLOSED
Luzzara is a gem. Unlike most other places in town, you can expect an interesting conversation when you stop by here (although don't stop by expecting to get some work done like in other coffeeshops). It's a refreshing change from the impersonal,…More »

I'd heard about Luzzara on the intertubes, and decided to stop by for a bit to do some work while I… Read more »
6. d'Lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar - CLOSED
d'Lish is awesome. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the dirty names for weekly specials.
My favourite thing about d'Lish though is their commitment to local, seasonal food. Ask about what's on your plate, and you just might learn something new.More »
7. Fresh Cafe & Espresso Bar
Considering I've been here for brunch 3 weekends in a row, plus some evening snack visits, it's probably time for me to update my review.
The staff here continue to be amazing.. so welcoming and friendly, and the food is delicious. I'm still in love…More »

Fresh Cafe opened up not too long ago, just around the corner from my apartment, and filling a… Read more »
8. The Sequel Cafe
I think Sequel (CASH ONLY!) is now at the top of my list for downtown lunch destinations. It is located in the building kitty-corner to Churchill Square, with just a little sign out front on the sidewalk to let you know it's there. There's a couple…More »
9. Dauphine Bakery and Bistro
The Queen of Tarts was one of the most popular booths at the City Centre Farmer's Market, and now they've opened their own shop on 104 st.
In addition to the tasty tarts they sold at the market, they now have a few delicious breads, a take out menu,…More »
10. Victoria Promenade
Victoria Promenade is the kind of thing that's missing from a lot of our river valley. It runs along 100 Ave from 117 St to 121 St, with a nice wide sidewalk, lots of benches, and great views of the river valley. On a nice day, it gets pretty busy…More »
11. Grant Notley Park
Grant Notley Park is a great little spot at the top of Victoria Park Hill. The view of the river valley here is fantastic. Looking south, you'd think Edmonton is just a giant park with a university in the middle of it.
There are lots of benches and a…More »
12. Edmonton City Centre
City Centre mall is probably my all-around favourite mall in Edmonton. It doesn't necessarily have the best selection of stores, but it's always easy to get to on ETS, and it's way less busy than other malls. I went in the last Saturday afternoon…More »
13. Valley Zoo
Oh Valley Zoo. Growing up in northern Alberta, getting to come to Edmonton and go to the zoo was pretty frickin exciting. Unfortunately, now that I've seen other zoos (and entered adulthood), the Valley Zoo looks much less exciting.
I'd probably…More »
14. Edmonton Capitals
Let's get one thing straight: I don't like baseball. But, we all do crazy things for love, and so I found myself at a Capitals game at Telus Field.
The game itself was mildly entertaining, although mostly I didn't pay that much attention. But, I have…More »
15. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
I've heard that the Edmonton Fringe is supposed to be the best fringe festival in North American, and second in the world only to Edinburgh... and I believe it. I've been a Fringe patron for a number of years, and a volunteer once, and everything…More »
16. Stanley A Milner Library
Libraries are cool. I know Stanley Milner has a bit of a bad rep for sketchy folk hanging about. While they definitely are there, I've never felt unsafe while working/reading/staring off into space at the library. Bring some headphones and park…More »
17. The Citadel Theatre
I've been to a number of events at the Citadel... theatre, concerts, speakers. The theatres here are great and I love the indoor garden, especially in the winter.
As much as I love going to the theatre, it's not cheap. The Citadel offers rush tickets…More »
18. Old Strathcona Farmer's Market
Edmonton, AB T6E 5C3
(780) 439-1844
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market
I don't frequent the OSFM as much as the downtown market, but I still enjoy stopping by here. I love that it's open year round. The selection is pretty decent, although I think I prefer the downtown market.
It can get pretty crowded, but if you're…More »
19. William Hawrelak Park
Best park in Edmonton? I think so. A huge park in our lovely river valley, with trails coming in from a bunch of different directions. There are all kinds of great festivals and events going on here year-round. It's also a great spot for barbecues in…More »
20. Tix On the Square
Tix on the Square is a Ticketmaster outlet, but they also sell (and print) tickets for a lot of local events. Their website is a great listing of what's on, and the staff are really helpful for your various ticket related needs.
They also have a lot…More »
21. Alberta Ballet
Edmonton, AB T5J 3H1
(780) 428-6839
I've been to a few performances by the Alberta Ballet in the last several years. They had (or may still have, I'm not sure) a program aimed at getting young people interested in the ballet, so I was able to attend a couple performances for really low…More »
