The team at Soda Jerks understands that while it's difficult to go wrong with a burger, there are many ways to go really, really right. Stacked high with more than 50 toppings to choose from and always made with 100 per cent Angus ground chuck, the burgers here will spoil you for all other burgers. Add a glass-bottled soda or a premium ice cream milkshake to really up your burger-joint game.

Serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner, Urban Diner offers some of the tastiest dishes in town.

Or, come back for dinner and have the pulled pork poutine; gravy, pork and cheese curds have never been so delicious.
Not every restaurant is renowned for serving both breakfast and beer, but The Sugarbowl isn't like every other restaurant. With savoury chicken and waffles and sumptuous cinnamon buns on the menu, it's easy to understand why people are drawn to this spot during the day. And, with 160 craft beers available, it's no surprise that beer lovers flock here in the evenings, as well.

From pita and hummus to stuffed grape leaves to lamb to swordfish, the authentic flavours shine through all the menu items here. An impressive wine cellar offers plenty of pairings to help create a well-rounded and memorable dining experience.
You'll find some of the best BBQ in Edmonton here. House-made sauces and rubs are prepared from scratch and four different woods are enlisted to get the richest flavours in their slow-smoked meat.
