Some more great foodie events this week... |
Edmonton's food scene is having a genuinely exciting moment, with a wave of new restaurant openings reshaping where the city eats and gathers this fall.
At Station Park, Bazaar brings Ukrainian and Eastern European street food — including borshch and Ukrainian-style shawarma — crafted by a newcomer who fled Russia's invasion of his homeland.
Also joining Station Park is Pebre & Co., a Chilean empanada vendor adding South American comfort food to the city's most historically layered food hall.
On Whyte Avenue, Le Smash by Medium Rare and plant-based pastry shop King of Tarts are both drawing strong early crowds.
Downtown, Simply Chops introduces modern Nigerian cuisine — suya, meat pies, and puff puff — while Cafe Seoul Grove offers an immersive Korean café experience along Gateway Boulevard.
Edmonton's fall dining wave is more culturally rich and globally diverse than ever — a direct reflection of the city's surging, food-forward population. Read More... |
