This year was the first year (since a very
looooooooooong time) that I actually celebrated Canada Day. Now, when I think of food for Canada Day or any other "outdoor-related-holiday/event" I think of street food, which I guess I could have gotten... but instead, my sister and company decided to head down to
La Ronde, the revolving rooftop restaurant, found in the heart of downtown Edmonton. I've always heard about this restaurant but never had any occasion that I felt was "special" enough to pay this restaurant a visit so it was a very exciting foodie experience! The server we had was quite friendly, he offered us complimentary ice-cream (and complimentary drinks? I don't remember, we ordered too many...). Unfortunately, there was a building blocking our view so when the fireworks came on, we only got to see a quarter of it but the food made up for missing the fireworks!
Most restaurants offer complimentary bread but how many cut their bread into heart shapes?! (they gave us both white and whole wheat)
I ordered the Charbroiled Alberta "Sterling Silver" Striploin ($38). Which was your average striploin, basically everyone at my table ordered this...
My sister is a vegetarian and unfortunately, there wasn't a variety of vegetarian options but she ordered the Roasted Portobello Mushroom with Mediterranean Vegetables.($28)
After dinner, I needed a place to sober up and Denny's was the only place opened so we headed down to Denny's and ordered the half order of Eggs Benedict. ($8.17)
