Interesting food fact

Edmonton's culinary scene is thriving, with the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market at its heart.

For decades, its local-first philosophy has championed vendors who make, bake, or grow everything they sell.

This ethos has inspired a wave of innovative restaurants across the city.

From authentic Mexican at Marlo to refined Italian from Daniel Costa's Olia Ristorante, Edmonton's palate is transforming.

The farm-to-table movement is a cornerstone, seen at popular spots like RGE RD.

This passion extends to a booming craft beer scene, anchored by the breweries on the popular "Happy Beer Street."

Large-scale events like Taste of Edmonton further celebrate the city's diverse and growing food culture, proving Edmonton is a true culinary destination.
