The photoblog of the adventures of an Edmonton woman eating her way through the city, from restaurants to coffee shops, events and festivals. Get ready to eat with your eyes!
View this post on Instagram We were looking for an inexpensive, meat-and-potatoes place to eat on a Saturday night on Whyte Avenue. Old Town Pub was right across the street from where we were, so we walked over. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday night - not that we minded. We went upstairs via the spiral stair case. A server soon followed and took our drink orders. The menu is a collection of pub basics, with a few surprises thrown in, like the perogies and pickle soup. Just about everything is $10. We each ordered a steak sandwich with fries, as well as an order of salt and pepper wings to share, and I had a cup of the pickle soup. It was like a cream of vegetable, with dill pickle slices in in, along with carrot and potato. Very creamy and hearty, and a good portion for the cup size, along with toast. The chicken wings were a bit skimpy on the portion and the size of them, but for $10 I am not really going to complain. Our steak sandwiches were done to perfection and tasted great. All of our food was brought at once, and rather quickly. Drink prices are also reasonable, and service was very friendly. Good location, excellent prices, great service - we will definitely be back. #yeg #yegfood #whyteave #yegeats #yegfoodie #pubs #barfood A post shared by Paula E.

View this post on Instagram Delicious, thick, and juicy burger at @icehouseyeg earlier this week. I especially liked the unique roasted potatoes that were both sweet and savoury. #yeg #yegfoodie #yegfood #yegeats #yegdt #hamburger A post shared by Paula E.

View this post on Instagram Tried Clever Rabbit for the first time and was impressed with the menu’s variety: all day breakfast, and lots of options that mimic meat foods like donairs and the club sandwich I had with "bacon" and "turkey". The spinach and tomatoes were also piled high with mayo and dijon. I had hash browns as my side. My friend had the battered tofu bowl with sweet potato hash (it came with a side even though it was a rice dish). She said that was her favourite part of the meal. The tofu was good, and the veggies were cooked nicely. The sweet and sour sauce (you have a choice) was actually at the bottom of the bowl, so you had to dig for it. #yeg #yegfood #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #yegfoodie #yegeats A post shared by Paula E.

View this post on Instagram Champion beef brisket soup. The broth was a clear beef stock, while the brisket was quite fatty. I had flat noodles, which held up well. At $17.50 though, it seemed a bit overpriced. #yeg #yegfood #noodles #brisket #yegeats #yegfoodie #whyteave A post shared by Paula E. Kirman (@livingsanctuary) on Nov 24, 2018 at 4:09pm PST
