The Saskatoon berry is more than just a fruit; it’s a delectable part of Saskatchewan’s rich history. Indigenous communities all over the province have treasured these berries for years, appreciating their unique flavor as well as their nutritional and medicinal value. Incorporated into Indigenous culinary traditions, Saskatoon berries are used in soups, stews, meat dishes, pemmican, and dried cakes. Outside of the kitchen, the berries are also used in holistic remedies; their juice is used to ease stomach ailments and act as a mild laxative. When not in use, the berries’ stems can be used to make arrows and pipes.

Saskatoon’s Bar Stella is a quaint Italian eatery with a nostalgic diner feel.

Having started in June 2023, they are among the newest eateries in the city, calling themselves “Unfussy Italian!”

They also have a thing about focaccia, which you can find in their sandwich options, burrata cheese plate, and bruschetta (which is typically served on crisper cut baguettes).

F&B Restaurant

Location: 226 2 Ave. S, Saskatoon, SK

“Homegrown and globally inspired comfort food paired with properly hand-crafted cocktails” is what Chef MacKay is cooking here at F&B. You have to admire renowned chefs who remain in their hometowns to produce exceptional dishes.

Chef MacKay was the brains behind two other well-known neighborhood eateries, Sticks and Stones and Ayden Kitchen, which he recently shuttered in order to open F&B, a new concept in Saskatoon! In order to satisfy the demand of both residents and visitors like us, Ayden Kitchen’s well-known chicken wings dish with lemongrass, lime leaf, and cilantro has been moved to F&B.

Junior Cafe

Location: 737 Broadway Ave. or 339 Avenue A S., Saskatoon, SK

Junior Cafe, a sibling establishment of Bar Stella, has outlets in both Broadway and Riversdale. It serves a fantastic array of hot and cold beverages, pastries, and breakfast fare. Before spending the morning shopping in the neighborhood, we sampled their Egg Sandwich, Mushroom & Ricotta Toast, and Cinnamon Bun at the Broadway restaurant. It’s a quaint little restaurant with excellent meals and drinks and quick service!

ODLA

Location: 801 Broadway Ave., Saskatoon, SK 

You should try Odla, a stunning restaurant in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan’s Broadway District. The name Odla is Swedish meaning “to farm, cultivate, grow.” Since this restaurant is “farm direct,” dishes are prepared with fresh products that are picked at the height of their production from Farm One Forty, a nearby farm. Everything is manufactured in-house, literally.

It’s a lovely collaboration. Seasonal, straightforward, and delectable ingredients are highlighted in order to encourage a renewed relationship with food.
