    Came in here today because I've driven past the place for years and never gone in…read more It's not fancy by any means, but if you're looking for anything Polish in town, you'll probably find it here. They have everything from multiple types of sausage and pierogies (to be expected, obviously), to jams and preserves, chocolates, jars of pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, exotic soups, jarred wild mushrooms, teas, cookies, pastas, and mineral water. They even have a selection of DVDs in Polish! My only complaint, and I realize I'm not their main demographic, is that much of the product is ONLY labeled in Polish. While I find it an interesting language, it's not as easy to suss out as French or German for me, and I could pick out a few words. I might have bought something, but I wasn't sure what I might be buying. It shows a lemon on the label, but there might be more I'm missing. It would be SO NICE to have shelf labels in English for their goods. Think about the extra business you might get of repeat English-speaking customers! Inclusive is good, folks. But as one person put it for the Polonia meat market, if they are as intent on gouging as the folks next door, perhaps they don't want English-speaking business. It just seems a little sad that they aren't that interested in another sale. This is why the Italian Centre has been so successful. Foodies love food. All types of food. And that includes international food.

    Food from this place is great! I'm sure what I say! They don't sell crap like other stores! If you…read moreare shopping there enjoy it, don't say anything bad about Polish Food Centre! Thanks CT

We started w a pierogi sampler plate. Every current flavour - some new ones, chicken curry and pulled pork. All delicious w great sauces. The bread was super tasty- multigrain w garlic butter. Who knew gluten free bread could be so good Pickle soup and French onion soups were great. Pickle soup is not that sour so definitely try if you want lighter fare. Most had chicken or pork schnitzel specials were great. My husband is half Austrian and raised on schnitzel - he loves CTs schnitzel. I had the tomato and avocado salad. Great dressing - not sweet or cloying just a great accompaniment to the rich avocado - w grilled chicken that must be marinated- it was so good. Too full for dessert again! But have their Apple strudel which is lovely. CT is a YEG institution for good reason. Try their pierogi's at Strathcona Farmers or Bountiful.

    One of Edmonton's (and especially Old Strathcona's) iconic restaurants, Continental Treat has been…read moreoperating at its current location on Whyte Ave since 1982. That's 42 years! (I know the year 1982 well... It's when I was born. Ha ha.) Any restaurant with that kind of longevity is a mainstay. A reliable "forever" type of place that has stood the test of time - and believe me, it has been a test. Owned and operated by three generations of the Borówka family, their roots from Poland and Ukraine are reflected in the menu. They have even opened a second location downtown in recent years, expanding their comfort food empire twofold. So what is "continental" cuisine? By definition it's any food from Europe. And Continental Treat is prepared to feed you just like your European grandmother did. Voted Best/Favourite Continental Restaurant in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 by the Edmonton Journal, this restaurant's legacy lives on in the hearts of Edmontonians. The ambiance is palpable. Just walking by Continental Treat on any given evening, you will be delighted by a visual tableau of the most cozy and romantic restaurant that you have ever laid your eyes upon. Dim lighting, candle-lit tables, lovers holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes... That's what goes on here. I visited on a Saturday evening and was in the mood for a little bit of the CT magic. Their corner location allows for windows on both sides and the inside of the restaurant is packed with old-world charm. You'll find a lot of dark wood, perfectly set tables adorned with tablecloths, European art, and the aforementioned candle light. (We're talking wine bottles being used as candle holders with tons of wax dripping down the sides type of vibe.) It's exceedingly cozy with light jazzy piano music being played in the background. The space is certainly not modern in any sense but it feels right. Situated at a comfortable table in the middle of the dining room, I got myself acquainted with the martini list. There are some interesting options to choose from and I was curious about the Pink Squirrel (Amaretto, Creme de Cacao, cream, splash of grenadine - $14.95 for 2oz). It would be nice to see a "signature cocktail" or martini that reflects the restaurant and its cuisine a bit better (maybe it's the C-Tini, actually) but I am always happy to try something pink. I loved this pretty, pink, girly drink and enjoyed it thoroughly! Did it look a bit like Pepto-Bismol? Yes (and we made jokes about it). But it tasted delicious (not too strongly boozy) and I loved the cherry-sweet flavour! It was almost like a dessert! This martini looked cute and I would definitely order it again. Our server was personable and friendly, staying on top of our every need for the duration of our visit. I'm glad that I made a reservation because it wasn't long before every single table was occupied. We were immediately served a warm basket of two types of bread (gluten-free!) and I helped myself to a slice of rye slathered in ample amounts of melty butter. If I had to pick the most famous item on the Continental Treat menu it would have to be the Creamy Dill Pickle Soup (Helena's famous dill pickle soup - $6.50 for a cup). I have ordered it every single time that I have dined here and I'm sure that many other people do the same. This soup is a hit for a reason. If you had an Eastern European grandma (like I did) this will remind you of her soups. It's lighter than you think it will be and filled with nice big pieces of potatoes, pickles (of course!) and other vegetables. The pickle flavour is at the forefront but it isn't too much. (Let's be honest, it could never be too much for me). It's cozy comfort in soup form. In a city that boasts many amazing soups, this is certainly one of the top picks. You can even order a "Euro Bowl" which I think is a really big bowl of soup! No one would judge you - it would be the right call. There are also several other soups on the menu that sound amazing and if I could ever tear myself away from the pickle soup I would love to try the Red Barszcz or the Sauerkraut & Potato. Can we talk about the gluten-free aspect for a sec? Continental Treat wasn't always a "gluten-free restaurant." This change was brought to the menu in 2007 when the decision was made to embrace gluten-free cooking both to promote healthier eating as well as to provide wonderful European dishes to diners who have intolerances. The goal was to make food that is indistinguishable or superior to traditional gluten-containing products. And I have to say, eating that rye bread, I would never have known the difference. This makes me think of my Polish grandfather, who did indeed have celiac. He would have loved this place. I don't think of Continental Treat as a "gluten-free restaurant," I think of it as a European restaurant that happens to serve gluten-free food. You KNOW that Continental Treat is going to have Signature Gourmet Pierogies & Dumplings on their menu - it's a must a

    My first time going to Shumka restaurant on 95th street in Edmonton, which serves Ukrainian foods,…read moreI had a plate of potato and cheddar cheese perogies, kobassa sausage, cabbage roll, and crepes with dill sauce. My partner and I usually go to another place but it was our first time there to celebrate the Ukrainian Christmas. The food was very delicious and the portions generous. Service was quick and professional, and courteous. The ambiance was very nice as well - images from Ukraine were hung on the walls, with foods for sale - as well as a variety of dishware. Definitely a restaurant to go back to for tasty foods.

Frozen meals and snacks (cake, pie, loaf cake, beef jerky, pampushky) available too. Ordered the Maxi plate so I could try the perogies, nalysnyky, kobbassa, and meatballs. All for $15. Place had the AC running hard but it was +27 outside so understandable. Sausage was great. Just basic garlic sausage, not spicy. Meatballs were covered in a nice beef gravy. Perogies were fresh, I tried the cottage cheese ones which were nice - very light flavor. The Nalysnyky were great and highly recommend to try as they are pretty unique. Friend got the cabbage roll and had to ask for tomato sauce for on top (otherwise comes sauce-less). Filling is just rice looked like. Overall nice Ukranian food with a menu that lets you try everything in whatever quantity you want.

    Serving authentic Austrian, German & European food, this family-run business has been in Edmonton…read morefor over 45 years! Service was really friendly & helpful for us first timers and since we're big fans of a good schnitzel, we ordered the jagerschnitzel (fried pork cutlet with mushroom) & the farmer's feast to get a little try of several things (smoked pork loin, sausage & pork roast with sauerkraut or red cabbage). Meals also come with salad, complimentary bread and your choice of side carb - we tried the dumpling, which is kind of like a big ball of stuffing with gravy on top, and the Viennese pasta - a gnocchi-ish lighter pasta (we liked this one best, it melted in your mouth!). Food was made fresh - you can hear them pounding out the schnitzel - and was very well seasoned. We ended with a slice of strudel to share and it was stuffed with so much apple, it was filling in itself! Decor is retro and cozy - a warm & inviting vibe for a cold wintery night. It felt like we'd stepped into an old school restaurant in Europe & we were digging it.

But if you are looking for great food and don't care about the locale, you can't go wrong here. The entire menu is strictly Gluten Free! I mean everything, from appetizers to desserts! My mother in law is celiac and she was so delighted she could just pick anything on the menu. Our server always very sweet, friendly and clearly loves where she works. And everything we ate was delicious! Not just good for gluten free I mean delicious. I ordered the mushroom spaetle with shrimp, my husband had liver and onions, my daughter had the perogies, and my mother in law had chicken stroganoff. And for dessert we had apple strudel, tiramisu, and a Black Forest cake. All were amazing. I really hope they can open in a better location soon as we absolutely loved the food!

My other friend chose the sausage with fried potatoes. Service was great. Our server was friendly and helpful. However when we were ready to pay the bill she was no where to be seen. Otherwise great. Wonderful ambiance. It feels like old world Europe. Quiet. Dark wood. Nice to sit and chat in. Food was wonderful. My soup was great. Definately the pickle soup tasted pickley. The main meal was great. The fish was a large portion but slightly overcooked. We loved the spatzel on it. Well cooked. Black forest cake was good but not as moist as I remember. All and all an enjoyable evening.
