L1 Lounge

17700 87 Ave. NW Edmonton, Alberta

With today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of upscale pub fare and drink at Fantasyland Hotel’s L1 Lounge.

L1 Lounge, located on the first level of the multithemed hotel in the West Edmonton Mall, supplies hotel guests and visitors alike with an eclectic menu of upscale pub cuisine. Alberta strip steaks don a tangy cloak of horseradish mustard ($19), and the chefs certify panko-encrusted chicken fingers to scuba dive in an ocean of pomegranate dip ($12). The fish ‘n’ chips pairs halibut cheeks with crispy fries ($13), and plates of mac ‘n’ cheese host smoked gouda, parma ham, and parmesan ($12) in a gooey amalgamation as satisfying as finishing Shakespeare’s translation of War and Peace. Salads, wings, and nachos round out the menu and establish a comfortable foundation for selections from L1’s full bar. Tables of glossy black and shiny silver pair picturesquely with seats adorned with white leather and burnt-orange cushions. A retractable screen unveils itself for game nights, and neon bulbs and tableside lamps bestow a pleasant light that keeps guests from mistaking their dates for coat racks.

The Common
Oliver
10124 124 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta

Today’s Groupon to The Common. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of contemporary fare and drinks, plus cover admission for two (up to a $5 value each; a $30 total value).
• For $29, you get a VIP admission package for four, including cover charges (up to a $5 value each), a bottle of sparkling wine (a $40 value), and house popcorn (a $6 value; up to a $66 total value).

The Common seeks to enliven clients with local DJ craft, electronic music, and an eclectic assembly of international fare and drinks. Diners peruse snacks, small plates, and entrees, sating small appetites with eats such as hand-popped popcorn tossed in truffle butter ($6). Nachos meet mouths bearing bounties of grilled seasonal vegetables, blended cheeses, salsa verde ($14), and optional pulled pork ($3+), and chefs experiment with culinary aerodynamics as they toss flatbreads with smoked salmon and cream cheese ($12) and plates of miniature meatloaf sliders bearing aged cheddar and house-made barbecue sauce ($11). An array of pours such as draft pints, brew bottles, refined wines, and house cocktails enable patron stomachs to test out newly purchased bendy-straw glasses.

With today’s second option, four VIP attendees gather at a private table tailored to their party size to imbibe a shared bottle of sparkling wine, snack on hand-popped popcorn, and role-play as the compass rose. Listen as local DJs deliver the government-recommend amount of ear nutrition during weekly and monthly scheduled events ranging from Friday- and Saturday-night sets to iPod battles and occasional “Thursday Hip Hop Karaoke.” The Common cradles its patrons atop colourful throw pillows in long leather benches or booths within an intimate, elongated sitting area, whose blank walls bear monthly exhibits and belated Christmas cards from local visual artists.

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of classic fare at Flow Lounge & Grill. Flow is open Monday–Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and minors are only permitted in the restaurant until 10 p.m.

Flow Lounge & Grill’s crafty chefs toss together a full menu of salads, sandwiches, and burgers. One kilo of chicken wings wake up taste buds by ringing a large, clanging cowbell that announces the arrival of a variety of flavours, such as honey garlic and hotyaki ($11). Strips of sirloin come grilled to the diner’s desired internal temperature before tap dancing with veggies, cheese, and greek dressing atop romaine lettuce in a grilled-sirloin greek salad ($13), and the Big Mouth Monster burger showcases two 8-ounce Alberta-beef patties stacked with bacon and cheese ($20). Meanwhile, 6 ounces of free-range grilled chicken breast marinates in teriyaki sauce before donning a rum-pineapple-ring hat and slipping between two slices of grilled baguette ($9).

Diners can sip domestic draft beer ($6.25) and premium liquor ($6.25) at Flow’s full, marble-topped bar. Watch your favourite sporting event on one of several flat-screen TVs, or ponder which barbecue sauce would best top the moon while gazing out the skylights that outline the eatery’s arched ceilings.

Discover hidden flavours with today’s Groupon to Karma The Indian Bistro. Choose between the following options:

• For $12, you get $24 worth of Indian fare during lunch, served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday–Friday.
• For $15, you get $30 worth of Indian fare during dinner, served from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday–Thursday, and from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Karma The Indian Bistro’s menu bestows diners with Indian dishes that employ contemporary ingredients and traditional methods to satisfy a diverse range of taste-bud preferences. Sate spice cravings with vegetable samosas, a mishmash of potatoes, peas, and cumin cradled gently in the arms of a loving, crispy deep-fried pastry ($5), or skip the appetizer and head straight toward a tandoori-roasted entree such as the malai chicken, palatable pieces of boneless chicken invigorated with a luscious cream sauce laced with mace and cardamom ($15). The bhuna masala gosht ($17) is a stage for onions, ginger, green peppers, and tomatoes to support star-worthy hunks of tender lamb, making an ensemble more enticing than a boy band dressed in money, and the malai prawn curry simmers portly prawns in a velvety cashew gravy ($20). Vegetarians can exercise cellulose shredders with the daal bukhara, a smooth sampling of black lentils, spices, and gravy ($11), or with the palak paneer, homemade cottage cheese served with silky spinach ($12). To cool peppered lips, Karma’s libation menu boasts an eclectic ensemble of international and Canadian beer, wine, and spirits to pair with meals or silk cozies.

The friendly, attentive staff at Karma strive to contribute to a peacefully piquant dining experience within their modern, elegant dining area. Red draping, comfortable seats, and warm earth tones infuse Karma with a regal yet comfortable aura, akin to a king’s silk pyjamas. Weather permitting, outdoor seating is also available.
