Enjoying Edmonton’s best comfort food is often the best cure for the winter blues.

With restaurants still closed to dine-in due to safety restrictions, and the cold about to set in, knowing the best spots to order takeout from is incredibly valuable.

Choosing what type of food you’re in the mood for can be overwhelming — and in a city with so many great restaurants — choosing a restaurant can feel impossible.

Here are just a few of the best locally owned takeout spots you should check out.

Although we can’t enjoy a delicious Baijiu cocktail at the bar right now, we can bring some of the menu favourites home. This Edmonton watering hole offers all of their “Greatest Hits” for curbside pick-up, like their assorted bao buns, a few of their iconic cocktails, and twisty sides like Devilled Tea Eggs and Korean Fried Brussel Sprouts.

Clementine — one of Edmonton’s favourite cocktail bars — is offering their curated “cheer boxes” to enjoy at home. Different from week-to-week, these boxes often contain different cheeses, house-made sweet and savoury preserves, and delicious proteins. Perfect for treating yourself, these cheer boxes will also come with a bottle of wine to beautifully pair with that week’s spread.

Chinese food has always been a popular takeout option because it’s delicious and it travels extremely well. 852 Hong Kong Cafe is one of the best spots for Chinese food in Edmonton, and they have a value takeout menu with delicious items at a great price. Any order placed containing three or more items, such as the Peking-style pork chops, braised tofu, or deep-fried pork ribs with peach, will also come with rice, choice of soup, and a mango dessert.

With only having takeout as an option, Biera has been calling themselves “Basically Biera,” but their takeout is anything but basic. They have a small, rotating menu of family-style dishes available for pick-up or delivery. The items will change week-to-week, but you can expect an assortment of tasty hot and cold sandwiches, with different soups, frites, and charcuterie options to enjoy on the side.

Ramen is the perfect choice to warm up and cheer up during these winter months, and the bowls at Tokiwa Ramen are some of our favourites. Orders of their savoury ramen bowls can be placed a week in advance, and they still sell out most days. For a fun home-cooking option, they also offer ramen kits to make yourself. The kits come with all the ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and require only five minutes to cook.

The Bundok take-home menu is ideal for a special occasion, or just a time you feel like treating yourself. They’re currently open on Friday and Saturday, making this an ideal culinary weekend getaway at your own kitchen table. The Bundok menu is accessible, non-pretentious fine dining with beef tartare and fried chicken skins on their starter menu. The roasted squash, with whipped ricotta, pistachio vinaigrette, apples and brussels sprouts is a must-try. Whatever type of craving you have, whether it’s herb garlic chicken sausage or gnocchi parisienne — possibly with a paired bottle of wine — you’re covered at Bundok.

The bright, loud, high energy feeling of sitting at a table in Rostizado is missed, but hopefully their delicious takeout Mexican food can spice up your own home. Is there anything better than digging into a platter of different tacos, surrounded by sides that are made in-house? Choose your taco with unique toppings — fried fish, chicken tinga, battered prawns, grilled beef, confit pork, or vegan — and dig in! It doesn’t need to be Taco Tuesday to order from Rosztido, because they’re open every day except for Sunday.
