About this Neighborhood

Wîhkwêntôwin is one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods in Edmonton, and it wears that history comfortably. Thirty-four restaurants, eight coffee shops, and ten parks pack the area, and a 4.7 average across nearly a thousand Yelp reviews suggests locals genuinely like what they've got. The food leans European and cozy, from Italian and French rooms to breakfast spots and neighborhood bars. Patricia Street Deli and XO Bistro & Bar draw the regulars, while Coffee Bureau handles the caffeine, giving the district a warm, sit-a-while character rather than a rush-through-it one.
