Local Love List: New Restaurant, New Cafe, Treats + More!

February 7, 2020 By Kari 1 Comment

Hidden gems, cool local product, and unique events happening in the Edmonton area.
Here’s what’s on your Local Love List this week!

The Local Love List is published every Friday at KariSkelton.com. Be sure to pop in next week to see what’s up!

Best New Restaurant

  • You have to get tickets to this show! Chef Ben Staley (formerly Alder Room and North 53)  has a new gem in downtown Edmonton called Yarrow. One seating a night for up to 10 guests who’ll enjoy 18-22 servings. Guests dine around a big beautiful wooden table with Chef Staley creating right in front of you. There’s also an impressive wine and cocktails room off to the side if you’re looking to just pop in for a drink. Equally as impressive – Staley renovated the entire space himself! Get tickets here. 

Culina Update

  • Edmonton’s first lakeside cafe opens today (and right at the perfect time)! Culina on the Lake in the Hawrelak Park Pavillion will officially welcome guests for the first time starting today (Friday, February 7), which is also the kick-off to Silver Skate Festival. Culina will be serving up chilli, borsht, and sandwiches during the festival and will then be open weekends only until summer when they’ll run 9 a.m until late, seven days a week. The restaurant will be licensed, with a patio,  and the menu focuses on local food. Check out their crowdfunding campaign here. 

Silver Skate Festival

  • Hawrelak Park has been transformed into a winter wonderland! Silver Skate Festival kicks off today and will run until Family Day on February 17. Enjoy horse-drawn sleighs, snow sculptures, skating and more! All the details here.

Ice Castles

  • While you’re down at Hawrelak, be sure to check out the Ice Castles which will open be open for about another month. You can secure your spot online before you go. Do that here.

Heart Pierogis

Cookie Decorating Kits

Each kit includes six freshly baked sugar cookie hearts, icing mix, conversation hearts, sugar hearts, sprinkle mix, and a piping bag. These will be available in their shop starting February 12th, but you can pre-order here.

Ace Coffe & Sepps Pizza

Ace Coffee has opened up its third location in Edmonton! Find Ace Garneau at 86 Ave and 111 Street (the old Leva Cafe).

At the back of Ace Garneau building, you’ll find Sepp’s Pizza. You can taste this ‘classic New York pie with a northern twist’ through take out and delivery only. We did so last weekend and it was unreal!

New Boutique on 124th

What do you do when other kids are mean to your ki What do you do when other kids are mean to your kid? How do you handle it? No matter what season you're in with parenting or how old your kids are, I would love to hear your tactics! Please share below in the comments and we can all learn from each other👇👇. #pinkshirtday

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣
See that cute little face photo bombing in the bac See that cute little face photo bombing in the back? 😊 He helps with my mental health on a daily basis. I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛

Visit up.atb.com to enter to win prizes, and get more info about the challenges and Alberta’s Mental Health Foundation.
I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with you. I miss traveling. The end. Happy Valentine's Day!
