Edmonton's top purveyors of poutine

Poutine is the ultimate comfort food - slightly salty cheese curds, hot, crisp fries and thick gravy, piled together in one glorious, fattening heap. Whether poutine is your go-to treat after a night on the town, or the thing you use to get through the next day, poutine done right is always satisfying. These spots offer up authentic poutine, with dashes of Prairie influences sprinkled in. [Image credit: iStock.com/bhofack2]

La vie est belle at La Poutine. With a couple dozen varieties to choose from, this is definitely a favourite spot. With your choice of traditional (vegan), beef or gluten-free gravies, there’s really something for everyone. If you’re hungry, try the meat lover, with loads of ground beef, bacon bits and smoked sausage. For something a little different, try the garden with green peas, sautéed mushrooms and onions.

What else would we recommend here but the donair poutine? The meat slices on the poutine are plentiful and will leave you wanting more. Don’t forget to ask for extra tzatziki and sweet sauce - you won’t regret it.

The Common is one of my favourite joints in town. Gastro-lounge meets comfort food meets funky chef/owner. I love the atmosphere, the staff are awesome and their short rib poutine is divine. The braised short ribs melt in your mouth, which is a perfect combination with the Quebec curds and homemade gravy.

This funky ‘50s style diner is complete with red diner booths, black and white checkered floor tiles and a jukebox at the back. Their food is delicious and plentiful and I really enjoy subbing regular fries with their poutine when I order a sandwich. They do it up and don’t skimp on the food. Yum!

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.

A slice of heaven: Perfect pie places

Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
