If you’re looking for a solid spot to impress that special someone, you are in luck. Edmonton boasts some of the best restaurants to go on a cool first date.

From a neon splashed Mexican restaurant to a rotating dining room high up in the sky, these restaurants in Edmonton all make for the best unique date experience.

El Cortez

Filled with neon lights, bursts of colour and a bit of moody lighting, this is a great spot to sit down and get to know your date. The food is delicious, and so are their drinks. The brick interior is a vibe, and in the summertime the splashy patio is a cute spot to hang too.
