Sugarbowl


I was lead to believe that the culinary selection in Edmonton, Alberta was less than stellar. That theory was blown out of the water the moment I stepped into a funky little eatery called the Sugarbowl. I think my source’s information was grossly outdated and most certainly bias. In the future I will not be so gullible and trusting of so-called “local experts.”

After a tour of the University of Alberta, Terry and I made our way around the corner and into a quaint bar and grill. Being that it was a beautiful day the doors and windows were open exposing the entire front side of the restaurant to the sun and the gentle breeze. As we enjoyed the elements, we perused the menu. It is easy to love a menu that is three-quarters beer and one-quarter food. Between the ambiance, good weather, and the menu selection we totally enjoyed our pre-dining experience.

While I enjoyed a Strombow and Terry enjoyed a Big Rock Traditional, we decided to split the special. Served on a pretzel bun we enjoyed a ham and cheese with a side of sweet potato fries. The food was good and satisfied our hungry tummies. I wouldn’t call the meal spectacular, but it was reasonably priced and well above average bar fare.

Nothing better than spending the day with my guy and having a delicious meal.
