Absolutely Edibles Real Food Fusion Restaurant
Alberta Avenue
9567a – 118 Ave. NW, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.absolutelyedibles.com/fusion.html

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of fresh natural fare and drinks at Absolutely Edibles Real Food Fusion Restaurant on 118 Avenue Northwest.

Absolutely Edibles Real Food Fusion Restaurant’s epicurean engineers craft gourmet eats from fresh, natural ingredients, which beckon hungry stomachs from daytime and evening menus. Midday diners pass around dim sum dumpling ($3.95) and lemon grass pork loin ($5.95) small plates before choosing hearty burgers from a selection of traditional and exotic patties, including beef, crab, kangaroo, lamb, elk, and lentil ($9+). For dinner, lemon grass chicken served atop stir-fried vegetables and coconut basmati rice ($15) satisfies tummies, and red lentil croquettes flavoured by aromatic Middle Eastern spices, a tomato reduction, and smashed sweet potato ($12) inspire to-go boxes to stay fit in case of red-lentil rendezvous.

Real Food Fusion encourages patrons to relax and space out courses while enjoying the coziness of the 40-seat dining room, sporting a fireplace, slate wall, and warm tones. In between servings or after plates have been depleted, sip a selection from the wine list, such as the Naked Grape shiraz or Copper Moon chardonnay ($6.50/glass each).

http://www.l2grill.com/#

Today’s Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of eclectic, upscale fare and drinks at L2 Grill in the Fantasyland Hotel.

Chef Shane Chartrand surveys, grills, and chops fillets, seafood, and other fresh, Canadian ingredients for clients dining in the fashionably furnished L2 Grill. Knives glide through dinner staples such as the filet mignon, which exits kitchen doors with an entourage of spicy onion rings, bone marrow, paper heirloom tomatoes, and portobello mushrooms ($37). Halibut cheeks provoke the pinching and cooing of restless aunts before slipping into a prosciutto blanket to rest on a bed of chilled potatoes ($33). Servers mix a caesar salad for two tableside ($22), and chefs top the L2 burger with a foie-gras poutine ($24), adding an upscale twist to a classic dish. The breakfast menu, served daily, displays a collection of traditional egg and griddle groupies ($7–$15), and Chartrand is on hand to mingle with diners and sing the operatic tale of his recent battle representing Alberta in the National Chefs Challenge. High-backed red booths and swanky black tables complement L2’s culinary feats with a clean aesthetic.

17021-100 Ave. NW, Edmonton, Alberta
http://www.gururestaurant.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Indian-inspired fare and drinks at Guru Restaurant & Bar.

Guru Restaurant & Bar’s Indian-born executive chef Deependra Singh crafts traditional Indian-inspired dishes in tandem with eats of an upscale, South Asian mentality. Midday diners can settle midday disputes with a frequently changing lunch menu, devouring paninis such as the paneer khurchan naan, grilled naan entrapping paneer cheese, bell peppers, and onions in a mild curry ($16). Chef Deependra shoos butterflies from bellies with energetic dinner plates such as seasoned crushed corn and figs in bhutte ke kebabs ($11) and boneless-chicken korma in cashew-nut gravy ($18). Surrounded by julienned bell pepper and onion, shrimp zalfrezi ($22) takes a spiced soak in onion-tomato gravy. A drinks menu features custom martinis, cocktails, and margaritas ($7+), which come blended with South Asian ingredients and the ability to moonwalk.

Chef Deependra weighs down runaway plates with experience earned in prestigious hotels and restaurants throughout India and Canada. Guests sit securely on bare hardwood floors while enjoying the embrace of warm low lights and paisley wall decor. Flag down paper airplanes on Guru’s outdoor patio seating, or book one of two private rooms (22 seats and 8 to 10 seats) to light private events with a TV.

The grand opening celebration for all three locations is Wednesday, June 22. Wild Wing will be celebrating the openings with giveaways, wing-eating contests, and more.

At Wild Wing, diners can relish salads, wraps, and its specialty chicken wings smothered in any of more than 100 sauce varieties. Choose between the menu’s standard Wild wings ($9.99 for nine pieces) or a boneless version ($10.49 for 10 pieces) coated in a sauce smorgasbord rivalling the famed buffalo-wing-fests of Valhalla. Options cover the entire spectrum of connoisseur drizzlings, including tangy, barbecue, honey-tinged, creamy, and fruity variants, each one rated on a spice scale ranging from no-heat and palate-scorching to magma-approved. The kitchen also whips up nonavian edibles such as a veggie wrap of crisp greens, red onions, and shredded cheese encased in a white or whole-wheat tortilla ($7.49). Crunchy Wild fries made from skin-on potatoes can arrive unadorned or bedecked with seasonings such as hickory or mango chipotle ($4.99, $.99 for seasoning).

Wild Wing augments its edibles with large-screen TVs and music from a video jukebox, keeping eyes and ears, respectively, at bay.

Meanwhile, cashew chicken drips with cilantro sauce ($16) and beef vindaloo ($17) heats up taste buds like a kiss from a flamenco-dancing microwave. Diners can also nibble on a variety of Indian dishes during lunch ($15.95) and dinner ($19.95) buffets and can pair edibles with esophagus-soothing libations from Origin’s full cocktail bar. Painted artwork and wooden shelves brimming with wine bottles line Origin’s crimson-painted walls, creating a modern, exotic ambience, akin to a magic carpet’s GPS system.

Servings
4 Spruce Ridge Dr., Suite 30, Spruce Grove, Alberta
http://www.servings.ca/

Today’s Groupon for custom prepared meals at Servings in Spruce Grove. Choose between two options:

• For $25, you get $50 worth of prepared meals.
• For $50, you get $100 worth of prepared meals.

The Servings meal-prep system culinarily empowers customers with the option to either self-assemble a meal with pre-sliced-and-diced ingredients or to pick up an already-assembled meal prepared to individual specifications. Reserve a coveted spot on Servings’ calendar for either option, allowing customers to chose from a toothsome menu of monthly rotating dishes such as June’s herb-stuffed burgers or spinach- and artichoke-stuffed shells in a variety of serving sizes and quantities (any six meals of 2–3 servings each for $95, 12 meals for $170). When pangs for selections such as grilled chicken with mango salsa or firecracker shrimp require dining by the tubful, options are available for larger gatherings (any six meals of 4–6 servings each for $168, 12 meals for $298). Should customers choose to have meals custom preassembled rather than self-compiling, a $15 charge is added for any package of six meals, and a $30 charge is added for any package of 12 meals.

Last-minute dining decisions are further simplified with Servings’ quick-meal options. Call Servings by noon on any business day to reserve a Grab ‘n Go fresh customizable meal from available monthly selections that can be picked up any time after 3 p.m. on the same day. Alternately, Take ‘n Bake selections ($18.95/meal for 2–3 servings, $31.95/meal for 4–6 servings, valid for both options) are preassembled by Servings’ meal savants and can easily be selected on the go without an appointment or trades involving first-borns. Diners may call ahead to inquire about currently available Take ‘n Bake selections. Meals can be enhanced with desserts ($8 each) or side dishes ($5 each) intended to further impress family, guests, and guests’ families who were not strictly asked to dinner.
