culina at the lake is open

No need to bring a sandwich to Hawrelak Park. Visit the new Culina on the Lake instead and relax on the patio. Enjoy an all-beef hot dog, a can of wine, or maybe a fried chicken burger or tortilla chips with pico de gallo is more your jam. The best part? The Little Bear Gelato cart is scooping on weekends.
rosewood foods open now
Love the baked treats at Lock Stock Coffee? Get yourself down to Rosewood Foods on Rice Howard Way, kitty-corner to the Westin. Breakfast sandwiches in the morning; then salads and bowls, burgers, melts; a delish roasted broccoli and leeks on focaccia; sweet and savoury baking and coffee. Jesse Gado (the baking wizard at Lock Stock) and Angela Chau Gado, along with Jesse’s brother chef Noah, opened during the pandemic, not for the faint of heart. Pick-up for now; there are a few tables for eat-in, when it’s possible. Closed Sunday, Monday. Rosewood Foods, 10150 100 Street, 780-757-8030, rosefoodfoods.com.

the spirit of eleanor et laurent

Abel Shirferaw’s time in Paris is the inspiration for the delightful Eleanor et Laurent in the High Level Bridge District. What an addition to this corner—we love the homage to Garneau’s first family; the charming French look, and the delicious breads, coffee and pastry (tarte citron, hello!). Pastry chef extraordinaire James Holehouse is in charge of bread and pastry; cuisiner Jarrett Gauthier the savoury. The full operation will be open when it can, right now it’s takeaway coffee, pastry, breads (try the delish Garneau grain and spelt) sandwiches (including pan bagnat) and ice cream and sorbet. Open Thursday-Sunday (for now) 9am-5pm. Eleanor et Laurent, 10926 88 Avenue, 780-988-0897, eleanorandlaurent.com.
the greenhouse is open
Chef Paul Shufelt (Robert Spencer Hospitality Group) has taken over the food services at the city’s Rundle, Victoria and Riverside golf courses. The talented Weronika Kundera runs daily operations. The menu is casual; the expanded patio at Riverside charming, and you can be sure of a good burger. (Chef Shufelt also operates Woodshed Burgers and the Workshop Eatery). Or you can grab a Meuwly’s hot dog and a beer at the turn. We’re delighted the city came back to a local chef to operate the food services at the golf courses. Check it out!
