Another thursday is here!
Lets eat something different!

Edmonton's culinary identity is experiencing a profound transformation.
A city long known for its hearty, meat-forward traditions is now at the center of a powerful green revolution, as demand for plant-based and inclusive dining sweeps across the capital.
This is not just a trend but a mainstream movement driven by a collective shift towards health, sustainability, and exciting new flavours.
Chefs and restaurateurs are answering the call with innovative menus that prove plant-based eating is about abundance, not absence.
Pioneering restaurants like Padmanadi and The Moth Cafe have paved the way, while newcomers like the vegan fast-food chain Odd Burger are making plant-based options more accessible than ever.
