Pick from their special menu reserved for weekends and holidays, which includes: Belgian Waffles, or The Standard - made with two free-run eggs - any style, bacon, avocado, sourdough, crispy potatoes or house greens, and much more.

"Central Social Hall has two convenient locations: downtown Edmonton and St. Albert. And, best of all, brunch is available all day, every day through either the regular menu (Monday – Friday) or the specialty weekend brunch menu, exclusively reserved for Saturdays and Sundays (oh, and did we mention the selection of expertly crafted brunch cocktails?)."

"As a local success story, we’re proud to add this one to the list. First founded in west Edmonton in 2002, the Canadian Brewhouse has since expanded to dozens of locations across the country. In short, their two-storey roof top patios aren’t just popular here in Edmonton, they’re a favourite among Canadians from coast to coast!"

"Perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Edmonton, is Rocky Mountain Ice House. It's one of the best spots to stop for a beverage after a morning of outdoor shopping along 104th Street. The city literally goes out of its way to make sure patios like this one expand in the summer, adding an extended boardwalk out into the street.Must Try: The Jasper Ave."

"Rocky Mountain Ice House runs its patio year-round, and if you ask me, it’s most magical through the winter months. Picture twinkle lights and patio heaters combined with great music: perfect!. You’ll find them at 10516 Jasper Ave."

"Right in the heart of Old Strathcona, you can sit street-side while gulping down your favourite Bulldog (if you haven’t tried one, you’re missing out). So turn that frown… and Corona upside-down and snag a prime spot to take in Whyte Ave at Julio's Barrio.Must Try: The “Dog”tor Pepper Bulldog"

"Speaking of sandwich shops, Elm Café in the Oliver area north of downtown is another local destination for espresso and batch-brewed coffee, as well as fresh muffins, scones, and sandwiches. It's a small shop, too—Elm occupies a modest storefront on the street level of a professional building, and you might miss it if not for the lineup which frequently spills out the door and onto the patio. Elm and its younger sibling cafes, District Coffee Company, Burrow Central Station, and Little Brick, all owned and operated by Nate Box, serve and retail coffee from a variety of roasters."

"Nate Box's latest restaurant, Fox Burger quickly pivoted from their premium dine-in experience to a physical distancing compatible pick-up alternative. Not only do they have a great line of up burgers (their Inferno Smash brings some serious heat and flavour) but they also announce a weekly feature burger that can get really wild. Check their Instagram for their latest offering."

"A post shared by The Commodore Restaurant (@commodore.restaurant). The Commodore Restaurant has been serving Edmontonians since 1942, and it’s the city’s oldest establishment to be continuously run by one family. Known for its “Good Food, Good Prices, and Great Value”, The Commodore serves all-day breakfast, classic diner eats for lunch and dinner, and the Gee Family’s Chinese Special – a variety plate of homemade Chinese-Canadian fare."

"The Alberta Railway Museum (ARM) is an interactive museum that aims to preserve the history of the Alberta Railway. Replicating a small terminal with a station, a water tank, and several shops, the museum is an authentic outdoor display of railway equipment and buildings with a collection of cars and locomotives from railways around the country. Visitors can explore over 75 cars and locomotives at the museum, look at railway maintenance equipment, and learn about the history of the railways in Alberta through exhibitions and galleries."

"Opened to the public in 1976, the Alberta Railway Museum has long been a favourite Edmonton attraction. For local train enthusiasts and travellers alike, there’s no place like it in Alberta. The open-air museum occupies an old rail yard about 30 minutes north of the city."

"TELUS World of Science is all about science and aims to encourage, inspire, and educate visitors about the world of science and technology and the important roles the play in today’s society. The center is home to two state-of-the-art theaters, one of which is a new IMAX Laser 4K Projector theater, a range of science-related exhibitions and displays, and a modern observatory where visitors can learn about the night sky. The TELUS World of Science also offers a variety of programs, workshops, and camps, including guide and scout camps, spring break and summer camps, sleepover camps, and adult astronomy classes."

"Step inside a giant laboratory and come face-to-face with small sea creatures, learn to program a robot and explore the limits of outer space when you visit TELUS World of Science – Edmonton. With five fun and exciting permanent exhibit galleries to explore, the IMAX theatre, Zeidler Dome, and so much more, there is something for the whole family to discover. TELUS World of Science is also offering a series of activities and events that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home."

"If you want to understand the world, outer space or how the human body functions, you need to learn about science. Telus World of Science is one of the best science-based Edmonton museums in Alberta. Operated by the Edmonton Space & Science Foundation, its mission is to ignite curiosity, inspire discovery, celebrate science and change lives."

"Along the side of the Mercer Warehouse building lives one of the most photogenic spots in our beautiful city — a stunning row of vintage neon signs, lighting up the sky with every colour imaginable. The wall of historic signs tells a story of Edmonton’s past, featuring advertisements from bygone businesses. The neon sign museum is outside, easily accessible, and always open — check it out during daylight or at night for a different kind of glow.Located on 104 Street just north of 104 Avenue"

"The Neon Sign Museum, the first of its kind in Canada, features restored neon signs from Edmonton’s past. There’s 20 neon signs on the east wall of the TELUS building and the south wall of the Mercer Warehouse building on 104 Street and 104 Avenue."

"Twenty neon signs originally from stores, railroads, and theaters have been reconditioned and hung on a building. It’s not your conventional museum, but you’ll definitely get amazing photos if you decide to take a walk in the area."

"Excellent food and fun interactive dining experience, it makes going out to eat more of a fun activity than a mundane boring meal. It can get a little pricey…"

"Great sushi and noodles by the gallon, plus bento boxes, rice bowls and all the tasty appetizers you'd expect in an authentic Japanese restaurant. Nothing fancy, but that's the point."
