XO BISTRO + BAR 10236 103rd Street | xobistrobar.com Instagram: @xobistrobar Co-Diners: The E.A.T Crew We are incredibly spoiled by the amount of amazing Vietnamese food that we have here in Edmonton. I doubt that the Vietnamese population is greater here compared to in other cities but the culinary deliciousness and pure celebration of the cuisine that comes out of this community is second to none. Certainly a point of pride in our city! From the best phở in the country (Kin

DORINKU OSAKA STREET FOOD 10328 Jasper Avenue | osaka.dorinku.ca Instagram: @dorinkuosaka Co-Diners: The E.A.T Crew + Mr. Salloum & Mr. Lorenz Edmonton has no shortage of izakaya-style Japanese restaurants and there are now plenty of amazing spots to choose from.

THE COLOMBIAN COFFEE BAR & ROASTERY 10340 134th Street | thecolombian.ca Instagram: @thecolombianyeg Co-Diners: The E.A.T Crew Edmonton is a city that has no shortage of coffee culture.
