Downtown, Edmonton

Wilfred’s

Welcome to the neighborhood, Wilfreds.

The latest edition to the Brewery District is a stand-alone restaurant situated in front of Loblaws City Market. It’s a trendy diner, a cozy cafe, whatever you want it to be. The decor is love at first sight. I’ll let the photos speak for itself since I don’t know much about decor talk. Service and atmosphere are on par, as well. Let’s talk about the most important thing now… food. The menu-like newspaper is split into different sections: breakfast, coffee, lunch & dinner, and drinks. It seems like the main focus of their breakfast are soft scrambled sammies, which I’d like to come back to try. I came here for dinner, which features simple dishes such as grilled cheese, baked pasta, and fried chicken & prosciutto cutlet.

Wrap-around bar or a place to socialize?

Wilfred Burger w/ Fried Egg $21

I decided to try their Wilfred Burger since I was feeling super hungry that evening. Featuring a 9 oz beef patty, BLT, and onions, I added on an egg for an extra $3. Normally I don’t like spending more than $10 for a burger but this was worth. every. bite. The patty had some pink in the middle which was “rare” to see here. It was cooked perfectly and although it was composed of simple toppings, everything came together. The egg was an egg-cellent addition, too! Fries and a mayo-like sauce accompanied the burger. The fries tasted fresh and crispy, and I really liked how they served a creamy sauce with it instead of ketchup.

They gave us cute postcards at the end as a goodbye present! I know that I cannot base my overall food experience off of a burger so I will be hopping back soon to try more of their menu.
