Where to eat on 142 Street in Edmonton

While the 142 Street area is close to a lot of businesses – and therefore draws in the lunch crowd – it isn’t necessarily known as a dining destination in Edmonton. But, if you take the time to stop by, you’ll find a variety of finely tuned establishments from bistros to delis to burger bars.

Quan's Cafe

1
11148 142 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5M 4G5

This Vietnamese café is a hidden gem, located in a strip mall on 142 Street. It’s a family-run spot that gets busy around lunch time (it isn’t open in the evenings), so plan accordingly if you want to get in on this action. If you need helping deciding what to devour, the spicy beef satay soup, salad rolls with peanut sauce and cashew chicken are all popular choices.

Delux Burger Bar

2
9682 142 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 4B2

The chefs get their antibiotic and hormone-free Heritage Angus beef from Spirit View Ranch, located in northwest Alberta. There is a variety of great burgers on the menu but if you’re in the mood for something really decadent, try the Delux Stack, which is nine ounces of Kobe-style beef, smoked bacon, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar and spicy mayo on a brioche bun. You can also build your own custom burger to suit your fancy.

Gini's Restaurant

7
10706 142 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 2P7

This is another fine restaurant in the ‘hood. It’s one of the oldest establishments in Edmonton, not to mention one of the most overlooked. It’s location could use a little TLC but the food is lovely. The filet mignon with green Madagascar peppercorns, in particular, is bursting with flavour. The menu is small but every item on it is substantial and delicious.
