And as June is around the corner, consider these places a treat for Dad. Father’s Day is June 18th!
Marlo
The menu at Edmonton’s new Marlo restaurant reflects a serious love of tacos. These tacos are made with fresh corn tortillas and a variety of meat and protein toppings. Marlo is a smaller taco spot one block north of Whyte and offers a few more items to go with your tacos. Try Marlo’s burritos, nachos, or craft cocktails. Marlo is in a sweet spot of Old Strathcona with close proximity to the area festivals and the Farmers’ Market.

Feng Donburi
Feng Donburi opened in south Edmonton this past May, and many are already raving about the restaurant’s sushi! This location is also on Ellerslie Road SW and offers a cozy place to enjoy your next lunch or dinner.
The menu is filled with a huge variety of items that work great for sharing among friends and family. If there is one item you try here, make it the sashimi! However, we doubt you’ll be trying only one item of the Feng Donburi menu.

Flirty Bird Chicken
When people seek a new fried chicken joint, many are also looking for heat and spice. Head to Sherwood Park this spring and summer to find that heat!

This is the local chicken chain’s third location in the Capital Region; the other two are on Whyte, and 124th Street NW.
