Romance ain't dead!
See All Lists
1. Violino Gastronomia
If you're looking for a genuinely romantic restaurant to woo your (soon to be) significant other, I highly recommend Violino. It's an Italian restaurant located in the upscale High Street district, in a newly renovated 1913 mansion. Inside, the…More »
2. The Creperie
The Creperie is one of the best restaurants in Edmonton. It has a very romantic and old-fashioned atmosphere, coupled with some of the best crepes you will find within miles of this city. It's quite pricey for a single entree, but if you get the full…More »
3. Chianti Cafe & Restaurant
I believe Chianti is one of the classic eating venues in Edmonton, and it's one of my all-time favorites. No matter when I go, they always have a table, even if I'm with a rather large group. The setting here is comfortable and romantic, and you can…More »
4. Mayfield Dinner Theatre
Got a little extra dough to splurge? Then it'll be money well-spent at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre. I recommend that everyone go at least once to a dinner theatre like this one, to experience live musical theatre while you're enjoying a delicious…More »
5. Yiannis Taverna Greek Restaurant
When I feel like Greek, it's off to Yianni's I go. They have a fantastic menu, and it's my personal goal to try everything at least once. The last time I went I wasn't too hungry, so I just had the tzatziki and ek mek. The tzatziki was perfect; not…More »
6. Four Rooms Restaurant - CLOSED
I'm a big fan of Four Rooms, because you get it all here -- yummy food, ambiance, and leftover change in your pocket. It's surprising how affordable many of their dishes are, as it's a fairly upscale local restaurant. It's got a very quiet, relaxed…More »
7. La Ronde Revolving Restaurant
I really struggled in deciding whether to give La Ronde three stars or four. In the end, four stars won out because this is the only revolving restaurant in Edmonton, and it is my hometown after all. I would have given La Ronde five stars, if I…More »
8. Artisan Resto-Cafe
The warm and inviting atmosphere of the Artisan-Resto Cafe is hard to resist. Located by the Garneau building on Whyte, the European-style cafe serves quality desserts, coffee, and all-day breakfast.
I love how the cafe has the slight feel of a…More »
9. It's All Greek
Tucked away among the corporate buildings in downtown, this restaurant may go unnoticed by some, which is quite unfortunate. If you're actively seeking it though, there's almost no way you can miss its big bold white letters against the green awning.…More »
10. Death By Chocolate - CLOSED
The best place to go when you're seriously craving some cocoa! The desserts always look so amazing, you almost don't want to disturb it with your appetite. So far I've tried the Fudged Out, Chocolate Ecstasy, and Heaven on Earth. The Fudged Out was a…More »
11. Cocoa's Restaurant & Lounge
I recently attended a work Christmas luncheon at Cocoa's, and it was pretty good! Even a little better than my previous brunch there with my girlfriends once.
They had a private eating area for corporate parties, sectioned off from the main dining…More »

12. LUX Steakhouse and Bar
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Lux is short for luxury. Everything from the lights and red carpet outside the entrance, to the curtains and dark mahogany furniture inside painted the image of sheer luxury. The restaurant consists of two…More »
