Another thursday and new year are here!

 

Today we feature the Seitans..

 

Go!

 

 

A bold, rebellious energy is pulsing from 11219 Jasper Avenue NW, the home of downtown Edmonton’s vegan comfort food hotspot, Seitans.

 

The eatery is challenging every notion about plant-based dining with an indulgent, unapologetic menu.

 

Specializing in hearty dishes, Seitans builds its creations around house-made seitan, a versatile wheat-based protein.

 

Diners flock for creative sourdough pizzas like the legendary Pickle Pizza, messy Po' Boy sandwiches, and addictive fried “chickun.”

 

The casual, punk-veg atmosphere on Jasper Avenue provides a welcoming space for both longtime vegans and the plant-based curious.

 

Seitans proves that vegan food can be deeply satisfying and crave-worthy.

 

With a strong commitment to flavor and thoughtful gluten-free options, it has firmly established itself as a must-visit destination in Edmonton’s vibrant food scene.
