51 restaurants take part in Taste of Edmonton this year

Over 50 restaurants are participating in Taste of Edmonton’s 40th anniversary at Churchill Square.

There’s some new things to try out but there’s also some returning restaurants like Japanese Village. They have been with the festival since 1984 and has been a partner since.

For the newbies, 11 new restaurants joined this year, including Ribeye Butcher Shop, part of the Canadian Brewhouse group of companies.

Until July 28, 88 new menus area available to try.

Unfortunately the festival is expected to have some attendance problems as many think that the prices are too high and due to the extreme heat and smoke advisories.

Hopefully people will get their appetite get the better f them and join other food lovers at Churchill Square.
