Description:
DOWNTOWN. The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald's Sunday brunch is quite the ritzy affair. It's then that the Empire Ballroom, formerly the hotel's main dining room, is set for a sumptuous midday buffet. If your notion of brunch is something akin to a jazzed up breakfast, you'll be immediately drawn to the crepe and omelette stations, and tables laden with breads, sweet pastries and fresh fruits. If you prefer a more savory approach, try the stir fry station, or sample the ever-changing array of lunch options such as Cajun rockfish with ratatouille or pasta primavera gratin. Of course, grazing is also an option: try a bit of this and a little of that, but be sure to visit the dessert table at least once. And while you're catching your second wind, take note of the beautifully painted ceiling, 24 feet above. Seatings on the hour; reservations are essential. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. A gracious, architecturally beautiful dining room looks out onto a stone-paved terrace and then across the river valley. It's a lovely space for dinner, or any meal for that matter. Conscientious servers attend each table, anticipating questions, providing ready answers. All of this goes hand-in-hand with the delectable cuisine, based on the best ingredients and culinary techniques. Among the options you'll find are Bow River trout, Alberta beef, Atlantic salmon, Saskatchewan venison, Arctic char, and maybe, pheasant. Each is perfectly complemented by an appropriate sauce and vegetables in keeping with the style of preparation. Desserts, of course, are absolutely sinful. Wines include Californian, French and Italian vintages. |

DOWNTOWN. Appropriately named, this rooftop restaurant makes a complete revolution every 90 minutes, affording its guests spectacular views of Edmonton. The menu perfectly complements the gorgeous panorama, offering full-bodied entrees that meld European traditions and Canadian ingredients. Appetizers include potato and butternut squash soup, caramelized onion and Havarti flan, and pan-seared sea scallops.

A wine list, a martini list, cognacs, and live entertainment multiply the appeal of this fantastic restaurant. Pricey but worth it. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Casual and inviting, this eatery specializes in Eastern European fare. For an authentic taste of the region, sample the borscht or the goulash. Sandwiches, burgers, and quiche are available if you want something standard, but look to the hot entrees for a real treat. There, you'll find a rich beef stroganoff, well-filled chicken crêpes, pierogies, and even fettuccine Moscow. The house specialty, côtelette de volaille, is also recommended; it consists of chicken breast in a white wine sauce, cooked with rice, onions, and mushrooms. If you've never tried the cuisine of this part of the world, you'll find satisfying comfort food par excellence. And, oh yeah, resident psychics are happy to give readings almost daily. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. A long-time Edmonton favorite, The Crêperie fairly oozes romance, but it's comfortable for families as well. If you plan to have dinner here, you'll be pleased to find plenty of choices such as savory crêpes stuffed with lovely combinations like asparagus, brie and smoked salmon, creamed spinach with mushrooms, and scallops in a sherry cream sauce. But where The Crêperie really shines is dessert. These sweet crêpes are an indulgence to be sure. The most popular is Crêpe Glace au Chocolat (a crêpe wrapped around vanilla ice cream topped with bittersweet chocolate sauce, whipped cream and toasted almonds), but the classic Crêpes Suzette are a sure winner too. Or, you could opt for chocolate fondue. Accompanied by a fantastic cup of coffee or espresso, dessert here is a always a surefire success. |

Reservations strongly suggested. |
