Another thursday is here!

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

Edmonton's food scene is experiencing a remarkable culinary renaissance with an exciting wave of new restaurants opening across the city.

This boom reflects a dynamic and hungry community, attracting both celebrated local chefs and major international names.

In the Brewery District, the stunning Italian eatery Nero has opened inside the historic Molson Brewery building, generating significant buzz.

Meanwhile, renowned chef Daniel Costa has expanded his local empire with concepts like Olia and the MIMI Bar on Jasper Avenue.

South Edmonton also welcomes Juu. Ku, an inventive Asian fusion spot from the acclaimed chef behind XIX Nineteen.

Perhaps the most anticipated arrival is the Canadian debut of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, set to launch at the River Cree Resort and Casino.

This major opening signals Edmonton's rising status as a serious food destination ready to impress diners.
