Dining on whyte ave

The food to DIE for. The fact you can build your own charcuterie board and the taste? Great location, perfect for a bite pre-show. Home made comfort food, great staff and artsy ambience.

Grindstone Bistro is one of my favourites! Best brazilian steakhouse in town. Such a delicious meal. Great service. Reasonable prices for beverages. Food was very good!

Server was friendly and efficient. They do both breakfast and dinner, and have really great options. If you have any of the aforementioned eaters in your dining party, look no further than Continental Fine Treat Bistro. They use many seasonal ingredients and their menu is fairly dynamic.

Their dishes have French, German, and Eastern European influences. This place is always a good choice and never a dull moment! If you live around Whyte Ave and are not sure where to go to eat, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. This is one of the best hidden gems in Edmonton. Thai food can be pretty expensive at most places, but this place does it right, and is modestly priced! It serves authentic barbecue, with homemade sauces, and is definitely great for meat-lovers. And, for vegetarians, they always have a seasonal vegetarian option.

Pulled pork and their garlic fries are definitely my two recommendations! The atmosphere is great, and they have amazing burgers. They were voted to have the best burger in March of by Avenue magazine! If you're not a native Edmontonian, you'll quickly learn that Whyte Ave is a go to for shopping, eating and pretty much everything else. And it's conveniently located just a bus-ride away from King's!

It can be a little overwhelming trying to choose somewhere to chow down, so this foodie blog is your saving grace. Here's our top pick of restaurants beloved by King's students! This cute little hole in the wall captures the authentic Cajun cooking perfectly and takes diners on a trip to New Orleans.

A must try on the menu is the Blackened Catfish Po-Boy - An open faced sandwich with herb mayo, lettuce, tomato, and tequila salsa. The duck leaves a pleasing taste of anise and Chinese five spice on your tongue. It's also roasted just long enough to render out the sometimes unappealing fat layer, leaving perfectly succulent meat and a nice crispy skin.

Pre-ordering is recommended. What to order: The ahi tuna twist is a Nineteen classic and your perfect introduction to chef Andrew Fung's food.

Spicy Thai noodles wrap around a fork with Asian slaw, cliantro aioli and seared tuna. It's a delicious and refreshing start to your meal, and if something's been on the menu since day one, there's usually a good reason why.

I love the food and the people behind this Thai restaurant in Sherwood Park. Great hospitality and kindness, always. What to order: I get wicked cravings for the chu chee goong : shrimp in red curry and makrut lime leaves.

A helping of server Bunny's Buddhist teachings just adds to the experience. Adrienne: Frickin' Delights Donuts. There is no shortage of quality doughnuts in Edmonton, so why drive to Devon to get your fix? I'll tell you: the doughnuts there are as advertised — a frickin' delight.

They are also vegan with no deliciousness sacrificed. What to order: The chocolate chai, blueberry pancake and unique cornbread doughnuts are all good choices. Don't have a sweet tooth? Try the dill pickle soup. And if you don't feel like driving out of town, they recently opened a location on Whyte Avenue. Though a couple of strong burger contenders have emerged in Edmonton this year, Jack's is still my number one, and the reason is their beef patty.

It's perfection. Smash patties, when beef is pressed hard on a screaming hot griddle until the desired level of delicious crust is achieved, are my favourite and Jack's still makes them better than anyone. What to order: My personal favourites are the BBQ crunch bacon, cheese, potato chips, and orange soda barbecue sauce , and the 'Shroom sauteed garlic mushrooms and Boursin , but I often will just ask for a big, beautiful double cheeseburger and eat myself into happiness.

June's serves up unpretentious food, which is made from scratch in the renovated, historic Gibbard Block in Highlands. What to order: Matzo ball soup, for three reasons. First, Chef Allan Suddaby uses Gail Hall's matzo ball recipe, second, he makes his own chicken schmaltz, and third, he makes the most ridiculously heady broth in which to place these lovely dumplings.

Before you can enjoy the excellent drinks and view at Alchemy, you have to find it first. It's on the fifth floor of the JW Marriott hotel, and throwing back to the days of speakeasies, it's behind a bookcase. The bookcase swings open, revealing a chic bar lined with tall windows on one side and buttery leather seating on the other. The cocktail menu is stacked and a drawing next to each drink shows what glass it comes in — a nice touch.

They go nicely with the beef chuck sliders. And don't be shy to get dressed-up for your night out — cocktail attire is preferred here.

Yes, I'm telling you to go eat at a grocery store. Don't question it; just do it. Have trust.
