Nothing quite beats a fresh sandwich from Farrow! While I have only ever enjoyed their hearty…read moresandwiches from the Ritchie location, I'm there a couple times a month. Whether you're an omnivore or herbivore you're sure to find something that suits you. My personal go-to is the Grick! A staple that's always available. A take on a breakfast sandwich, it's enjoyable any time of day. Crisp bacon, perfectly fried egg, rocket greens, cheese and tomato spread. How can you go wrong? If you're looking for something a little different, Farrow offers sandwiches of the moment, which seem to rotate about monthly. They always offer a vegan option if you're not into meat, or just want to try something new. On top of sandwiches, they also have some of the best coffee in the city... And donuts, how could we forget the donuts? Farrow is busy! So get there early to avoid disappointment. Lunch time can run you in a line up down the block. But service is super friendly and pretty quick once you have your order in. The shop it self is pretty bare bones. You can eat inside when it's not busy and there are tables outside when the weather suits you. I typically get mine to-go and it holds up well.

I can't believe it's taken me so long being back in Edmonton to go enjoy some delicious Farrow…read morebrunch/lunch options. It's the season for anything apples, so I was happy to find a caramel apple cronut & went for a classic grick middle (as per their website & one of my favs - Fried Egg, Bacon, Rosemary Aioli, Smoked Cheddah, Tomato Jam, Arugula). Sadly with a cane & a reuseable bag, I couldn't take a coffee to go (stair logistics are hard enough) but it's always a great cup when I do have a free hand. Oh, I should mention in case I've never did in previous reviews, neither of these food options are something one wants to eat when trying to look presentable. As it's deliciously messy! There's a few bar seats at this location but it's best to take your food to go. At this particular location (there's 4 locations now!) there's no accessible entrance (nor exit). Kind of baffles my mind on why they didn't build a ramp with the newer set of stairs at the exit door. I even made the comment that it's really too bad they don't use the order window on the side (like they did in the pandemic), for us that need to avoid the challenge of stairs. There's also no railings on the steps, so be sure footed in wet & winter conditions (even if you're not disabled). So as much as I love the food & coffee at Farrow, I have to leave it as it's a place I'm going to only on a randomly decent mobility day for the knees & legs.

Everyone enjoys a nice fresh sandwich made with beautiful ingredients. What's not to love? Opening…read morein 2010, the first Press'd location made its debut right here in Edmonton with the promise of the perfect sandwich. Offering an alternative to the typical fast food menu, the restaurant has now expanded into a chain of nine locations in the Edmonton area and also restaurants in Calgary, Saskatoon, and Regina. Voted #1 Best Wraps 2018 by VUE Weekly, I looked forward to getting my hands on what Press'd has to offer. I popped into their Strathcona Junction location on a Saturday evening, which you'll find in the Strathcona Market shopping complex. The restaurant is very clean and simple with a nice colour palette of white and lime green, accented by blond wood. It's a pretty typical model but it looks nice. There are several tables, benches, and even some booths for seating. I really liked the word cloud mural made up of all of the different neighbourhood names in the shape of Edmonton! Very cool. I was happy to find mine on there. The people working were very friendly and happy to take my order. The menu at Press'd is pretty much what you would expect: There are a lot of sandwiches. There are also salads and wraps. In general, it all feels very healthy and it's as if they took the idea of Subway but made it fresher and more home-grown. I started my journey at Press'd with the Broccoli Crunch Salad (Broccoli, cheddar, bacon, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, dressing - $3.89) from the Sides section. I also found the Giant Dill Pickle ($2.19) in this section and that was a big YES. Apart from these, they do soups as well, which sound pretty good. This little salad was super delicious (like the container says) and was actually the best part of the whole meal! I loved the crisp green broccoli and I loved the different textures that created the crunch. Getting little bits of cheddar and bacon in there is always good and I enjoyed the creamy dressing. I would absolutely order this salad again because it was very tasty. The giant dill pickle brought me happiness as well. Sandwiches and pickles just go together! Super flavourful and packed with a blasting dill punch, there was nothing wrong at all with this big boi. Of course I was going to order a sandwich, because it's kinda the whole thing. There are many to choose from (19 in total) in several different categories like; Clubs, Basics, Plant Based, Signatures, and Classics. Any good sandwich starts with the bread, which Press'd bakes from scratch each day. There are five breads to choose from (including a gluten-free one) and you can pick any one that you want for your sandwich. They had a bacon cheddar bread (limited time only) and I knew that I had to try it. Lots of the sandwiches sound very good, making it difficult to pick only one. The California Club and Green Goddess both sounded good to me. But I had to order the Blazing Buffalo (Roast chicken, jalapeno jack, lettuce, tomato, wing sauce, ranch - $9.99 for 8" large) because I'm a sucker for buffalo chicken. At first glance, I was a bit disappointed because the photos of their sandwiches look so packed with ingredients and this sandwich seemed a little flat and thin to me. I will say that I enjoyed the bread a lot. It was very soft and warm, and I loved the bright orange colour and bits of bacon within. The rest of the sandwich was decently flavourful and I did get the hot sauce + ranch vibe that I crave... However, I was really hoping for more. It just felt like there wasn't enough of everything. The chicken was fine, as were the vegetables, but it was missing some life. I need something bigger and bolder! Next, I was excited to try one the their wraps because they were voted as the best. Press'd offers four different types and I went for the West Coast Club (Roast chicken, bacon bits, cheddar, fresh guacamole, romaine, tomato, mayo - $10.09). Sadly, I think that I enjoyed this even less than the sandwich. It wasn't that the ingredients were bad, this wrap simply suffered from the same problem where it felt quite skimpy and lifeless. A good wrap should be rolled tight and jam-packed with stuff and this one was a little sad. That said, the chicken, again, was fine and I liked the bit of crunch from the bacon bits. The veggies were fresh and I would have liked way more cheddar. I barely detected any guacamole at all. I really wanted to be a lot more enamoured with Press'd than I was. I'm always on the lookout for fast and fresh food options that won't make me feel like I just ate a pile of garbage. Press'd totally has the capacity to be that - and I think that they want to be that! I just believe that some quality control needs to happen to ensure that they are putting out the absolute best product every time. They've got good ideas and good ingredients, they simply need to execute them better. I would be happy to give Press'd another chance since they do have other sandwiches on the menu that sound good

They were…read morequite slow and that's not a good thing for a place catering to the blue collar workers who need a fast lunch. Ours took at least 30 minutes. The server might be new as she didn't seem to know what she was doing. Coffee took a long time to come. When the meals started to arrive she didn't include utensils, jam or napkins. Also the only utensils we could find were those one use wooden types. Those are okay for take out but we were eating off of plates and should have metal utensils. There were three of us and the first two were at least half done before mine even arrived. Those were the bad points, or the problems that need corrective action. On the positive side the cook (who I think is the owner) did a good job of cooking tasty meals. He was slow but he knew what he was doing. My partner's omelet look unique and she really enjoyed it. My wrap was good too. The cook understood English much better than the server and had more personality on display when he greeted his customers. Hopefully they will resolve the service issues. If they do, they should do well.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS…read more Our club booked a private dinner for 25 people 22-Nov-2025. This was our second private function booked this year at Saratoga, and again, we were not disappointed. Saratoga normally closes at 4:00 pm, so we had the entire restaurant at our disposal for our 6:00 pm function. The pre-ordered dinners were simply outstanding. We had a choice of soup or salad starter, Turkey Dinner with dressing and mashed potatoes or BBW Pork Ribs with coleslaw and mashed potatoes or fries, with both entrees served with a perfectly cooked vegetable medley, and a choice of Rice Pudding or Brownie with Ice Cream. Price per person including GST and gratuity was more than price competitive with comparable family style restaurants. Our club has a number of hard core foodies. We're a tough crowd to please. Unusual for large group functions, every single attendee said they enjoyed their meal and Saratoga's ambience. Both pre-ordered main courses were impressively large servings. The Turkey Dinner was described by many as one of the BEST Turkey dinner they had ever enjoyed at any restaurant at any price. Every person who ordered the BBQ Ribs said the quality and portion size (6 ribs per plate) exceeded their expectations. Saratoga Restaurant is highly recommended, and is notable for its high quality of food, generous portions, excellent value, and quiet ambience especially for private functions. Tim Y
