Downtown Dishes You Gotta Try Now

So many meals, so little time. Don’t let the menus overwhelm you – we’ve picked out our favourite local bites

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Gooey gruyere cheese on toasted sourdough bread at Red Star Pub is the perfect comfort food pairing with a pint of beer. 10534 Jasper Avenue

Piri Piri Prawns

Bodega at Sabor has a signature dish which features three pieces of shell-on, sustainably farmed fresh shrimp in a housemade piri piri sauce. 10220 103 Street

Peach Shrimp Bao

Inspired by the popular dish from Asia, Baijiu is known for their soft, pillow-y steamed buns topped with tempura shrimp, peach, sweet mayo, and iceberg lettuce. 10359 104 Street

The Bacon

This appetizer from Tzin could easily be a delicious snack for one: a maple balsamic apple compote tops thick-cut bacon strips served on apple mayo and crostini. 10115 104 Street

Pork Katsu Sando

While you’ve probably had chicken sando before, it’s hard to find a classic pork sando in Edmonton. That’s why we’re telling you to head to Dorinku Osaka for breaded pork sirloin cutlet coated in housemade tonkatsu sauce served between thick slices of milk bread, with a side of signature Shaka Shaka fries. It’s crispy, juicy, tender, and only available Downtown. 10328 Jasper Avenue
