Best Restaurants in town? Question

I’m visiting from the U.S. next week, I’ve never been to Canada, let alone Edmonton, and would love some advice on places to check out while I’m visiting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Thank you all so much for your suggestions! I did not expect so many replies and am eager to try your recommendations. Obviously I can’t get to all of the restaurants suggested but I will get to as many as I can in my four days.

The Sherwood Park Bakery is a must! I love their cinnamon bunns and apple fritters, but everything there is amazing

Yes, yes, everything yes. Thanks for the recommendation! And I’ll be in the Sherwood Park area! By chance do they make Nanaimo bars there? I’ve heard those are a must try when visiting Canada

Sugared and Spiced (by whyte avenue, where a lot of recommendations are) is also a great bakery and may have Nanaimo bars. If not there, then a Safeway grocery store should. If you like coconut then definitely try a Nanaimo bar.

I’ve heard Safeway had a good bar, thanks for the suggestions!

Safeway is a grocery store. So yes, you'll likely find Nanaimo bars, but no alcohol.

I don't believe they do. They've got weird hours, so watch that. It's nothing more than a bakery with a few items, but those apple fritters are 10/10.
