The Best Brunch in Edmonton

Edmonton knows its way around a weekend brunch. If you're looking for the best brunch in Edmonton, you'll find restored heritage cafés, Nordic-leaning kitchens, beloved diners and pastry counters — many of them clustered on 124 Street and in the river valley.

Little Brick Café in Riverdale is a neighbourhood favourite, serving brunch and local coffee from a restored 1903 brick house with a tranquil garden patio. On 124 Street, Café Linnea brings French-Nordic flair to brunch, while the long-running Blue Plate Diner downtown is the comfort-food classic with plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

For the sweet finish — or the whole meal — Duchess Bake Shop on 124 Street turns out some of the best French pastry and macarons in the country.
