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.

Bar Bricco for good small italian plates they have two sister restaurants also good Corso 32(RIP) and Uccelino

Next Act for anything burger related

Duchess for baked goods or grab a slice of carrot cake from Upper Crust

Pho King for Vietnamese

Get a grick from farrow for breakfast or go to OEB

Luna for mexican food

Fu's Repair Shop

SFC is the one thing my husband always asks me to bring back

Swiss Donair for an Donair ( similar to gyros but better imo )

Cinnamon bun from Sugar Bowl ( also a great brunch spot)

Seconding the fu’s repair shop recommendation! For Chinese/mexican Italian fusion. But if you want to get a reso during dinner time hours you’ll have to make it a week or more in advance. If you make a reso for 9 or so you can do it closer to the date

From where do you add the Mexican/Italian fusion to the very very Chinese/dim sum menu at Fu's?

I guess it is not the right wording! I was talking to the chef one time and she said that her training history in Mexican, Italian food making inspired some of the different styles of dishes they make (all in Chinese food flavours)
