This will be the third Best Restaurants Event since relaunching the magazine from Avenue to Edify. Edify is a major supporter of the food scene in Edmonton, and this event is a celebration of that. As you taste fare from restaurants at the event, we encourage you to engage with the culinary artisans behind each table; the chefs are on hand for conversations about the items they prepared for this evening’s affair.
Be prepared for an lively evening of “gastronomie en miniature” — a culinary experience where small portions showcase exquisite flavours. Buy your tickets now.
