Edmonton restaurants to impress visitors
When you need to impress guests from another city (read: show off), you need to take them to the best restaurants Edmonton has to offer. Prove your culinary prowess/reservation-making skills by taking them to dine at these establishments.
Corso Thirty Two
10345 Jasper Ave Nw, Edmonton AB T5J 1Y5A table at Corso 32 on a Friday night is basically the Holy Grail of restaurant reservations. And for a reason: The food is incredible. A friend described the handmade pasta as “the best she has ever tasted” and a fight nearly broke out at our table over the fried short rib with shaved pear and arugula we tried to share.
The Parlour Italian Kitchen & Bar Ltd
10334 108 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1L9A great place to break bread with friends, especially if you’re into pizza. But there really is something for everyone on this menu – celiacs, vegetarians, fussy eaters, et cetera. The branzino fish with Yukon gold potatoes kissed with extra virgin olive oil is an exquisite dish worth writing home about.
RGE RD
10643 123 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5N 1P3This restaurant offers a great sampling of all the amazing farms and food vendors in Alberta, including Four Whistle Farm, Nature’s Green Acres, Pilatus Farms and The Cheesiry. The rustic-chic décor reminds you that you are in the prairies; the phenomenal food reminds you of what our farmers are capable of growing.
Culina Café at the Muttart Conservatory
9626 96A St NW, Edmonton AB T6C 4L8Entertaining early morning visitors? Do they like flowers? And brunch? If the answer to both those questions is yes, take them to Culina Muttart at the Muttart Conservatory, where they can eat the city’s best brunch, as voted three years running by Avenue magazine. Their eggs Benedict are so tasty that sometimes the brunch-goers EAT ALL THE DELICIOUS BENNIES and the latecomers are left with (still good) breakfast burritos.
