The Aegean Greek Kitchen

1
C10-10060 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 3R8

Big portions, friendly service and great food are just a few of the reasons this place is well-known throughout Edmonton. The roast lemon chicken is a very popular choice, as is the chicken souvlaki pita platter. This family-run spot is located downtown in Scotiabank Place, making it a great lunchtime option for anyone looking for a speedy but delicious meal. There are also plenty of gluten-free options on the menu.

Vicky's Bistro Wine Bar

2
100-501 Festival Ave, Sherwood Park, AB T8A 4X3

Located near Festival Place in Sherwood Park, this family-run restaurant fuses Greek and Western cuisine into an unforgettable menu. The sleek interior sets the mood for a lovely evening, as does the great service. Their lemon rice soup is to die for and the saganaki is perfection (fried cheese often is, but still). While it’s not a traditional Greek dish, their Mediterranean steak salad is worth writing home about. The menu helpfully indicates which dishes can be made gluten-free.

Yiannis Taverna

1-10444 82 Ave Nw, Edmonton, AB T6E 2A2

This romantic restaurant on Whyte Avenue has plenty of cozy tables for date night and the basement, home to a martini bar called Kasbar, is an awesome place to host a birthday party or a large group. The food is delectable (especially the horiatiki salad) and reasonably priced. It’s also a good place to spot local celebs – I was once seated at the table next to my childhood hero. He seemed to be enjoying his meal too.

Grub Med Greek Ristorante

17 Fairway Dr NW, Edmonton, AB T6J 2S6

This is a quiet, cozy place, perfect for a date or a peaceful meal. There will be no Greek belly dancers wiggling their way over to your table here. But they have a huge menu, full of seafood, souvlaki and casseroles. Their house speciality is the slow-roasted lamb but if you’re feeling hungry enough to eat your own arm, go for the Grub Med ribs, a whole rack of baby back pork ribs. Add pita and hummus. Repeat.
