Edmonton Dining Scene

A World of Variety
In a region with 3,500 restaurants at your culinary beck and call, Edmonton restaurateurs draw upon a world of variety to cook up any dish you desire. Many offer private banquet facilities, entertainment and off-premise catering to turn your business meeting or special event into a crowd-pleaser.

The diversity of dishes to be savoured here reaches far beyond Alberta's borders. Enjoy numerous ethnic entrees including French, Italian, Indian, German and Asian specialties, to name but a few from chefs who happily accommodate large groups, going so far as to add their personal touch with custom menus that reflect special dietary needs and emerging food trends such as vegan, gluten-free and organic.

Home-Grown Flavour
Also consider giving your gathering a tasty, distinctive flavour with entrees prepared from locally grown, farm-fresh favourites. Two-thirds of Alberta ranches raise cattle that has won a global following for their rich, flavourful grain-fed meat. Central Alberta has grown into a hub for cheese makers and dairy farmers; market gardens harvest produce such as squash and potatoes; and rich fields to the south of Edmonton yield canola, wheat, corn and berries. All of the above come together as creative, satisfying entrees at restaurants proud to serve regional cuisine.

Delicious Possibilities
Set the mood you desire. From quiet and businesslike to energetic and casual, Edmonton restaurants offer a wide range of dining experiences with attentive, professional service. If live entertainment tops your agenda, many city restaurants also feature performers on select evenings. With such a delicious selection of possibilities, finding restaurants to accommodate you and your group will be easy. Narrowing the selection down to one will be the challenge. Bon appetit!
