Not sure this market needs another glowing review, but it deserves one! It fights above its square footage in packing an authentic and varied punch, with a couple of choices within each market genre and a few gems you won’t find anywhere else. Well done.

I’ve lived in the city a long time but don’t recall ever fully walking through the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market until today. I’ve been to other markets and this one feels as familiar, though it has a deeper tradition here in Edmonton. The place was clearly in a Sunday morning vibe-some live musicians added to the atmosphere. I picked up a few vegetables and had a solid meal at Paperbirch by Chartrand. The vendor was moderately busy, and the food coming out looked great. I had the carbonara—and although it was a little creamier than carbonara should be, it came out piping hot and quite tasty. As for the market overall, nothing groundbreaking compared to others I’ve seen, but it’s a fun way to spend a Sunday morning. This was their first Sunday opening of the spring/summer season—not sure if they’ve done that before, but they definitely should keep it going.
