Let me start off by saying every hotel should offer a complimentary wine and cheese hour. By the time I got to the Varscona Hotel on Whyte it was toward the tail end of theirs, and within minutes of grabbing a glass of riesling I’d already met a fellow Nikon lover (he complimented my camera lens) and another couple from the US visiting for the Edmo...

At the top, a smiling man in an apron is slow cooking local bison, while his wife passes out glasses of local wine and snacks like griddle cakes topped with wild mushroom cream sauce and bacon cand...
Edmonton is starting to have a really serious coffee scene. Though Transcend was one of the first to bring caffeine culture in 2006 and are still well-respected (they even offer workshops and classes), my go-to spot became DaCapo Caffe. While the decor is minimalist with a white and wood palate and lots of natural light, the menu packs a punch, eve...
I was told by the locals I met that boozy brunch isn’t insanely popular; however, the few that do it do it really well. My Sunday Funday of Fringe festivities started off right at MEAT, a locally owned and operated smokehouse. Because the food pays homage to the USA’s delicious southern fare, the cocktail menu focuses on Buffalo Trace bourbon with ...
Edmonton is a hip city, so you’ll definitely find a slew of bakeries for all your sugary needs. Despite the 20-minute Uber ride from my hotel in Old Strathcona I decided to go to Duchess Bake Shopat the insistence of a number of locals. I literally felt like a princess entering the beautiful shop, filled with patterned antique furniture in royal bl...
