1. Bulk Barn
I really like Bulk Barn. I mean, really, really, *really* like Bulk Barn!
After discovering this Canadian gem through the Yelp talk boards, I stopped over to check it out for myself. I intended to run in for a minute, only to say I'd been there, and I…More »
2. 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 »
3. David's Grill
Its cool, new-looking sign caught my attention every time I drove past along Calgary Trail, and I'm always up to try a new restaurant, especially one with "grill" in the title.
It's bigger than it looks from the outside, with a restaurant side and…More »
4. Unheardof Restaurant
Blink and you WILL miss this hidden restaurant on the east end of Whyte Avenue. (I suppose you could almost call them Unseen Restaurant, too!)
I had an amazing private fine-dining experience. Set up in our own room, our group of ten (ten!) was easily…More »
5. Yokozuna Japanese Restaurant
I'm still a new lover of Japanese food, and my love is limited to: tempura, maki, and anything teriyaki.
The bentos here didn't offer a maki option, which was sort of disappointing, but my table mates enjoyed their sushi/sashimi bento combos…More »
6. The Bothy Wine & Whisky Bar
Edmonton, AB T6H 4J8
(780) 761-1761
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Wine Bars,
Irish
What an outstanding evening at The Bothy! Both our host and server were friendly, chatty and knowledgeable about the menu. The special that evening, the short ribs, sounded amazing. I hope it come back as a special so I get a chance to try it!
My wine…More »
7. Sneak Preview
Such a great little video store! Great staff, who have always helped me find the videos I want since I find their system a little bit confusing. Instead of taking the video off the shelf, you take up the blue tag to them. No blue tag = no copies in…More »
8. Bear Mountain
I was left stranded at Southgate Mall for about an hour the other night, my fiancee having taken our car, and me, stupidly, forgetting house keys. Just a typical Thursday is all.
After some shopping, I needed a caffeine hit and a place to rest of my…More »
9. 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 »
10. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
OK, so forgive me because I can't remember the name of the pizza pies I devoured here with my dining mate. And yes, I do mean devoured. But it was something very Italian and fancy. One was the Siciliana, which might just be the name of my first-born…More »
11. Edmonton International Airport
I really don't see any glaring issues with the Edmonton International Airport, it just doesn't stand out in any way for me, either.
If your flight is at an odd time (ie. such as 6 AM, like my last one was), line-ups are no problem and the staff aren't…More »
12. Town Shoes Clearance Outlet
I have yet to find luck at Town Shoes, which bums me out, because it's like most of their shoes are *almost* super-cute, so I'm just waiting for the day that I find something that is actually super-cute, instead of almost there.
I do appreciate that…More »
13. Groove Stone
How often do you find a store inside of a mall that isn't a major chain? I think it might be one of the only ones in Southgate Mall. Sure, there's something to be said for consistency across the malls of Canada (where can't I find a Spring or an…More »
14. Apple Store
I cradled it, held it and put it to bed each night, all without a protective case and everything seemed fine. But my luck had to run out at some point. Down the iPhone went and crashed onto the hard floors of Mongoli Express, shattering its back.…More »
15. IKEA
Edmonton, AB T6N 1M3
(780) 433-6000
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Kitchen & Bath,
Department Stores
I could spend a day in Ikea. Picture lounging in the morning in one of their bedroom set-ups, stopping into the fast food lounge for a hot dog at lunch, going back upstairs to hang out in a living room, and rounding off the day with a full chicken…More »
16. Spinelli's Bar Italia
You might not know this place exists unless you frequent the Italian Bakeshop it's housed in. Off to the right of the main grocery store's doors, this quiet little cafe serves typical lite Italian fare: paninis, a huge selection of cakes, and…More »
17. Southgate Centre
I didn't realize the breadth of stores housed here at Southgate. It really has become a one-stop shopping centre with the addition of a ton of great stores (hello, Michael Kors!) and a recent renovation to add a more modern look the whole building.…More »
18. Caffe Sorrentino
A neat, Italian-style bistro with typical Italian fare: for a lighter meal, try a salad, soup, or panini. I had the caesar salad, and although I wish I had asked for the dressing on the side (it was too thick and goopy for my tastes), it was still a…More »
19. Local Public Eatery
Sigh. It pains me to do this, but I have to downgrade my review significantly.
I like the food at LPE and it's the kind of place where everyone can find something on the menu they'll like. Plus, the beer selection is decent and cold. Everyone's happy…More »

I like the atmosphere and the "seat your self" sign and attitude. It's very pub-style, but a little… Read more »
20. Cineplex Odeon South Edmonton
Visited South Common theatres for the first time to treat myself to the new Harry Potter flick with some friends. There are some great things about South Common - huge parking lot (since it's not easily accesible by transit), plenty of theatres (so…More »
21. Maki Maki Japanese & Vietnamese Restaurant
Maki MAKI!
After driving past this place all the time, I finally stopped in for the sushi dinner I had been craving lately. What a good decision! The rolls I ordered here mostly came with bits of tempura in them, which gave the maki a crunchy texture…More »
22. 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 »
23. 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 »
24. Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant
Edmonton, AB T6J 5E5
(780) 429-4677
Go team go! Need a place to watch the game? Grab a beer after the game?
Brewsters is a pretty typical sportsy restaurant with lots of options like wings and nachos on the menu and giant TV screens all around. The nachos were yummy and I tried one of…More »
25. Calgary Trail Pet Hospital
Edmonton, AB T6J 5X8
(780) 431-0140
After bouncing around between different veterinarians each time we visited Calgary Trail Pet Hospital, all of whom are great, we have found our dream vet. Declaring it now: Dr. Kathy Chappell is the best veterinarian in Edmonton, and I'm willing to…More »

I'm a first-time pet owner, which means this was my first time taking my pet to the vet. Although… Read more »
26. 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 »
27. 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 »
28. Dots Stores
You know how, listening to the radio all the time (it doesn't seem to matter which station, just anything FM), you always hear about the blowout sales at Dots? They go something like this:
"Get down to Dots for the biggest blowout sale of the season!…More »
29. Coles
T6H 4M8
(780) 436-1783
Category: Bookstores
I really don't understand the difference between Coles, Chapters, and Indigo stores. Aren't they all part of the same giant brand? So isn't Coles just the small, kind of crappier version of Chapters?
While this store isn't exactly large, its selection…More »
30. 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 »
31. Target Apparel
I had really high hopes when I saw the sign for Target Apparel while driving aimlessly around South Edmonton Common. I had heard that Target was coming to Canada, but I didn't think it was so soon. This is going to be a good day, I thought to myself.…More »
32. Moores Clothing For Men
Edmonton, AB T6J 5X8
(780) 439-1818
After our jaunt in Europe, my hubby was feeling a little bit down. I packed my usual stock of pretty dresses and metallic sandals. He brought his typical attire - khaki shorts, t-shirts he got for free at local events, Birkenstocks, and a bright red…More »
33. 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 »
34. Mongolia Express
Edmonton, AB T6E 6T3
(780) 988-7282
I think this might be my favourite quick eats spot in the city. I find myself eating on the go pretty frequently and I love that this place isn't part of a massive chain. I also love any kind of Asian flavours, plus the part where it's made exactly…More »
35. Value Village
With an ugly sweater party coming up, where was a girl to turn to find a buffet of ugly sweaters for her favourite yelpers? Well, Value Village of course.
This place is pretty huge. It's sort of what you expect from the outside - flourescent lighting,…More »
36. Spring Roll Kitchen
I knew I would be heading down to Century Park today but I was starving when I arrived. I thought to myself, why don't I try out that Spring Roll Kitchen place I always see but never pop into?
I thought it might be all gourmet spring rolls or…More »
37. South Highway Esso
How's this for three-in-one-awesonesss? It's close to my house, and you can pump your gas *plus* get a carwash all in one easy payment. (I should just disclose here: I effing love carwashes.) Oh, and I get a First To Review for this, too!
Our car was…More »
38. JR Bar And Grill
This could be my new neighbourhood pub! With friends visiting from Calgary, we wanted a casual spot to catch up, hang out, and satisfy our hunger and thirst. Another friend had recommended JR to us a while back but we still hadn't been, so we thought…More »
39. Kal Tire
Not too shabby. I lucked out this year with the warm weather. I had first come into Kal Tire back when that first snow storm hit, but it was going to take weeks before they could put my winter tires on. I guess all of Edmonton had thought the same…More »
40. U-Store-It
I rented a storage unit for the first time a couple of months ago. First I went to Sentinel, who were very expensive. They helpfully directed me to South Edmonton Storage, who had storage lockers in my price range, but not in the size I needed. They…More »
