Lauren Kyle Shared Hers & Connor McDavid's Favourite Restaurants in Edmonton For Date Night
Lauren Kyle is opening up about her favourite restaurants in Edmonton.
The interior designer says the city has an incredible food scene and she and her fiancé Connor McDavid have their go-to spots when it comes to date night.
"Our ideal date night is just usually going out for dinner. Sometimes when family is in town we go to the Edmonton Pickleball and Volleyball Centre and play Pickleball," Kyle said.
When it comes to food, the couple loves Italian and Kyle says Edmonton has a lot of great dining options.
"There's honestly such good food in Edmonton and I think that's one thing that many people are surprised about," Kyle said.
"I think the culinary program at NAIT [Northern Alberta Institute of Technology] is really good. So a lot of people come out of that and open up spots in Edmonton."
Here are Kyle's top four restaurants in the city.
Bar Bricco
Price: 💸💸💸
Address: 10347 Jasper Ave, Edmonton, AB

Why You Need To Go: Bar Bricco's menu is inspired by the "aperitivi and wine bars" found across Italy.

Restaurant Yarrow

We also asked Kyle what date nights in Muskoka look like since she and McDavid spend a lot of time at their cottage over the summer.
"We usually just make a really late dinner and we're usually by the water all day," she said.
If they do go out, Kyle says they have a go-to Mexican spot.
"We don't venture out too far. Unless we're going to a friend's cottage or if we're going to Tulo's during the day, it's usually our day spot, but that's uncommon. We're usually staying at the cottage."
