Ukrainian food in Edmonton to make your mouth water
Whether you grew up in a Ukrainian household or not, there’s a good chance that you have always loved devouring a plate of perogies and sausage. These Edmonton restaurants dish out cabbage rolls and pyrizhky just like your baba used to make. There aren't many Ukrainian restaurants in the city, which makes us appreciate these spots all the more.
