Downtown Dining Week 2016
For ten days, once a year, it becomes foodie paradise in Edmonton downtown. This year Downtown Dining Week featured 36 different restaurants and it ran from March 11th to the 20th. These restaurants all feature set multi-course meals at set prices: $15 for a two course lunch meal and $28 for a three course dinner meal or $48 for an executive dinner meal. This year my girlfriend and I had the opportunity to try out three of these amazing restaurants.

Course 2: Cemita Cubana

Course 1: Churros for dessert
