Thanks for the insights, Admin! Are there any specific restaurants in Edmonton that you would recommend for a first-time visitor? I'm particularly interested in trying local specialties.

I second that! I've heard a lot about local specialties in Edmonton. What about poutine? Is it as good as everyone says?

Hi James and Emily,
Great questions! For a first-time visitor, I highly recommend:

• Meat: Try Old Strathcona Grill for their locally sourced meats and great ambiance.
• Poutine: You can't miss La Poutine for some of the best poutine in town, with unique toppings that elevate the traditional dish.
• Seafood: Wildflower Grill offers an incredible seafood selection, including some fantastic Alberta beef dishes.

As for poutine, it's definitely a staple in Edmonton, and many places put their own spin on it, so it's worth trying multiple versions if you can!
