Another week is here!

 

And there's more deliciousness for your indulgence... Yummy!

 

In the heart of Edmonton's French Quarter, Café Bicyclette stands as a cultural cornerstone within La Cité Francophone.

 

This beloved Bonnie Doon destination offers authentic French comfort food in a setting that truly embraces the city’s all-season spirit.

 

Its legendary patio is a main attraction, operating year-round.

 

During summer, it hosts the vibrant Servus Patio Series, featuring live music from local artists like Cristian de La Luna and ShockolaD.

 

When winter arrives, the space transforms into a cozy rebellion against the cold, with roaring fireplaces, heaters, and warm blankets making it an iconic Edmonton experience.

 

As the Bonnie Doon neighborhood evolves with the new LRT and shopping centre redevelopment, Café Bicyclette remains a vital and cherished community hub.

 

It’s more than just a restaurant; it’s a dog-friendly gathering place that captures a powerful sense of local identity.
