Best Steak in the city and the pizza is great too. I recommend the steak sandwich with those chunky cut fries. The lasagna is also pretty good here too. Most tourists would miss this place is they drove by, but all the locals here know that the food here is top shelf.

an incredible little spot, just a 20-minute walk from the suite. It's a great option if you want to try a little bit of everything! They have an adorable patio during the summer months. It is a fine mix betwee classy and casual, so you won't feel out of place in a dress OR in jeans. On fridays and Saturdays, I recommend calling a head to make a reservation.

trying to see the northern lights? Wild bison/Buffalo? About 45 minutes east of Edmonton is a wonderful park to do just that.
