Fancy a banoffee pie? The Bothy serves this authentic English dessert pie only at their Southside location. Made with bananas, cream and toffee, you’ll love every bite. And if you really want to do it up, order a digestif with your pie - I suggest a snifter of Remy Martin XO.

Located in the west end of Edmonton, this pie house will not disappoint. Vi’s makes every type of pie imaginable, so wear your elastic-waist pants when you go. My personal favourites vary depending on my mood -- pumpkin is always good during the Thanksgiving time of year, chocolate pecan pie doesn’t disappoint ever, and the banana cream pie on a summer’s day is nice and light. They also make gluten-free pies.

Fife N' Dekel

They have more than a dozen varieties and are reasonably priced (whether you order a slice or a whole pie ... we won’t judge!). There’s something about blending traditional pie flavours with sour cream that gives it that je ne sais quoi. Sour cream strawberry rhubarb or sour cream blueberry are both phenomenal. Try the pecan pie for something a little extra sweet.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.

A slice of heaven: Perfect pie places

Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
