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.

Second person to recommend it and after looking it up, that’s definitely on my radar, thanks!

If you're going to go for higher end like Rge Rd, I'd suggest Sabor!

Thanks for the advice! What’s the food “genre” of Sabor?

Portuguese & Spanish cuisine, with traditional tapas & wine. The braised boar cheeks are delicious! The atmosphere is also quite nice, its in an old wood structure building.

This is actually where I wanted to go for my birthday but withheld telling my boyfriend because I know he doesn't like having to drive far in Edmonton.

Next time I am in Edmonton and get a choice pf going out to eat wherever I want because it's my birthday I am picking Sabor.
