    the front of the restaurant
    Andy L.

    Legacy post from 2019 I visited Friends and Neighbours quite a while ago. The overall experience was decent - friendly service and good location. In terms of the pho, quality was okay and portion was less than expected so I'd give them 6.5/10

    Vegan tofu sandwich
    Hector I.

    This restaurant located in the busy street of Whyte av is the epitome of local family restaurant. The restaurant offers lots of options from Pho to brunch food. The restaurant is decorated like a diner. The service is kind and prompt. I ordered the vegan tofu sandwich. The food was delicious and the coffee was great. Overall great place to have brunch. The service can be confusing as we were unsure who the server was for our table.

    Chicken salad rolls

    This is a great place with lots of options including for our vegetarian and vegan friends! Located down Whyte Ave, it's tucked away at the edge by Boston Pizza and Cafe Mosaics. We ordered the chicken salad rolls, bun bo hue (BBH), and the chicken vermicelli bowl. They have a large menu with a bunch of options and can cater to everyone's dietary needs. The chicken salad rolls were fresh, albeit a bit bland as I don't think the chicken was seasoned. However, the peanut sauce saved the day with its smooth consistency and bomb flavour. The BBH here was definitely one of the better ones I've found in Edmonton. The broth had the perfect amount of spiciness to it, was flavourful, and light. The beef was not overcooked at all and was very tender. The chicken vermicelli bowl was pretty typical, however. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken and the housemade fish sauce went perfectly with it. It's a good vermicelli bowl, no complaints here. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to someone looking for some Vietnamese fare when they're down Whyte. They're very accommodating, no matter what dietary restrictions you have. I also spied on their breakfast menu and saw that they offered 10 different kinds of Eggs Benedict?? I might pop in again soon to give it a try!

    Horrible service, waitress barely said 2 words to us, never checked on us, rotten fruit cup. Service and food barely 1 star

    Basically non existent service, the waitress barely said 2 words to us, never checked on us. Rotten fruit cup, over all food and service was barely a 1 star.

    Friends & Neighbors cafe on Whyte Avenue.

    Friends & Neighbors Cafe is totally unpretentious, which I love. There's a big fish aquarium at the very back of the cafe, and the booths remind me of the leather seats in a 50s-style Cadillac. The menu has all kinds of dishes, like Asian, Italian, American, and even Edmontonian--I had the Whyte Ave melt! What was most memorable was when the owner came out and started to play the accordion. It was someone's birthday, so he went over to their table and played a whole bunch of songs. He was good at it and everything, but he wouldn't stop. He just kept playing and playing, and it got a bit annoying, because it was hard to have a conversation with such loud music. But it was still really amusing and quirky, and I can't wait to go back.

    See all
