Sweet potato fries. Gourmet mac & cheese. Japanese-style Eggs Bendict. Fried goat cheese. For an appetizer, juicy jumbo shrimp. For dessert (or any time!), red velvet cupcakes for dessert. There are so many different dishes that define the taste of Old Strathcona.
That only makes sense. After all, we have so many different restaurants. In fewer than 30 square blocks you will find more than 100 places to dine and drink. 83 percent of them are independently owned. Ingredients are often locally and regional grown, for guaranteed freshness. And if variety is the spice of life, Old Strathcona is pretty spicy: Cajun, Thai, East Indian, Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Persian, Lebanese, Japanese, Jamaican, Mexican and more.
We also have a number of quick service restaurants, an “old school” diner, and a variety of cafés, bistros, and coffee and tea shops.
If you’re choosing to dine in, Old Strathcona’s got all the ingredients in stores with everything you need (and more): from healthy, organic foods to those guilty pleasure snacks.
Whatever you’re celebrating, do it with food.
