I would say the worst service is at Leopold's Strathcona, but it's worth it.

In what sense? The food is pretty bad there!

I'll take your Leopold and raise you a Kindred - bad service AND terrible food!

Those are fighting words. You can pry the poutine of the week from my cold, dead hands.

Olia with a group of friends for holiday dinner and drinks yesterday. Did not disappoint. Quality of the ingredients, flavours, seasoning, portions, presentation, service, everything is top notch. Had only been once before during soft launch to sample a few things. Pappardelle stood out, always love a good tartar. Shared the T-bone with anchovy butter and sautéed mushrooms.
Had been looking forward to this for a while. Afterwards nice to retire to Mimi for some post dinner drinks and chat. Atmosphere is of course second-to-none.

Kindred is the biggest catfish I’ve ever had locally.
Leopolds you expect what you get. Kindred you essentially expect Olia, but the only similarity is the bill. Everything else is so disappointing.

Leopold's is such a let down compared to the old strat.

Hatch’d launches 1st location, marking debut of new breakfast QSR concept in Edmonton
Hatch’d was created in response to a growing demand for quick-service options that don’t compromise on craftsmanship or freshness.
retail-insider.com
Hatch’d, a new Canadian breakfast fast-casual concept, has officially opened its first-ever location in Edmonton, marking the debut of a brand designed to redefine the quick-service breakfast experience. Located at 8315 112 Street, steps from the University of Alberta and the U of A Hospital, Hatch’d introduces a thoughtfully streamlined model that emphasizes speed, quality, and flavour-forward menu development.
... there are negotiations taking place now for a second location in Edmonton, closer to the downtown

I despise Leopold's concept.....too much crap on the walls and food in paper baskets is NOT my thing.....

I tried Fattoush, the new Lebanese place on Whyte. It's pretty good! (And I grew up in one of the most Arab areas of this continent, so my standards are high.)

Me too. This paste from the article is interesting: "Mena is proud of the impact. The Atrium will have on downtown. “Just from the event space we’re going to bring in thousands of people. For Christmas, 15,000 people will come to this space alone.” Added Oliveira: “A lot of people who have come have been to Sabor or the area before, but are coming from the outskirts of town. We want them to leave happy and bring other people back.”The Sabor Group continues its expansion downtown, with the opening of The Atrium in the summer and Roca by Sabor, forthcoming in 2026.

I had no idea the two guys behind the Sabor Group worked at Bones. My co-workers and I had lunch at Bones a few times during the early 90s.

We went for a quick dinner at Da Cecot yesterday afternoon. It was kinda late for lunch and equally early for dinner (a friend recently said we eat like old retired people, and she's not wrong lol), so there were only two pastas on offer, but it was quite tasty and we'll definitely be back. Plus the owner is an absolute delight. Nothing fancy, just solid good food.
