Pals
Edmonton, Canada
The read// why locals go
Pals is a deli-inspired sandwich shop on Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona, a small Edmonton counter that bakes its own bread daily and cures its own meats. The menu sticks to classics with a little personality rather than reinvention, and most sandwiches land around 16 CAD, which keeps it firmly in everyday territory. There are no reservations here, only walk-ins, in keeping with the size of the room. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are part of the standing menu, not a substitution to negotiate at the till. A local food blog lists it among Edmonton's neighbourhood favourites, and it comes from the same hospitality family behind MEAT, Pip and Marlo, which explains the seriousness at the meat counter.
