Looking to travel the four corners of the world? Well, sorry to disappoint, but spheres don't have corners. Luckily, the Muttart does! Visit four different biomes in Minecraft, er, I mean, in the Muttart - without even stepping outside!

(780) 244-4863

Frida Taqueria was discovered last summer by Teresa when she happened upon it with Morgan for her birthday dinner! It has since become a favourite of Tom and Teresa's, since she lived in the area and they would often go there for their incredible tacos!

Duchess Bake Shop

(780) 488-4999

Duchess is an all-time favourite French café for Teresa. Her mom and her made many a trip there, which may have sparked her love of the French language (if there's macarons, how couldn't she?). Tommy loves Duchess now too, and his go-to order is a pistachio macaron. Teresa loves this as well, or an almond croissant.

Chianti

Chianti is an Italian restaurant on the iconic Whyte Avenue, where there are lots of quirky shops, cafes, and restaurants! Their homemade pasta is beyond compare.


Teresa's go-to order: Fettuccine alla campesino (Curry chicken pasta) with no pineapples

Thomas' go-to order: The other half of whatever Teresa wants

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

8705 109 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 2L5, Canada
(780) 760-1380

Being located very close the University of Albert, this frozen yogurt place was a great way to break up the monotony of studying. It's got games, frozen yogurt, and River Valley sunset views only a few minutes stroll away!

Little Brick

(780) 705-1230

Situated near the lovely river valley, this quaint establishment is perfect for a nibble or a sip. However, if you're feeling a little more ravenous, it's also readily able to suit your needs for a gulp or a chonky bite as well.
