These are just some of the fantastic, unique dishes available – all guaranteed to make you shout ‘yee-haw!’

Vons Steak House & Oyster Bar

Fairmont Hotel Macdonald

10065 100th Street, EDMONTON AB T5J 0N6

As one of the fanciest, most historic hotels in Edmonton, you may not associate the Hotel Mac with cowboys and rodeos, but they’re still getting in on the CFR action with some specials. They’re cooking up wonton nachos with braised pork cheeks, scallions and wasabi aioli and a chorizo sausage with beef chili, smoked cheddar and mustard crème fraiche.

Central Social Hall

Lazia Restaurant

113A-10200 102 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5J 0V1

Although they normally serve globally inspired cuisine, Lazia is sticking closer to its Alberta roots with their Best of the West special item. They’re serving a barbecue bison short rib with Manchego cheese soft polenta, sautéed root vegetables and an orange, honey and chipotle barbecue sauce.
