Restaurant closures have been hitting Edmonton left and right this year. In the past few weeks, we\u2019ve continued to see a rising number of spots shutting their doors, and we\u2019re here to round up some of the losses.<\/p>\n
From community favourites to newcomers, there\u2019s been a wide range of restaurants lost. No matter the spot, our condolences go out to each and every community behind these beloved establishments.<\/p>\n
These restaurant closures have been hitting everyone hard, so we\u2019re here to pay our respects.<\/p>\n
PlayWright<\/p>\n
Nestled in the local Citadel Theatre was a casual fine-dining restaurant with some excellent dishes. After almost two years, PlayWright announced its closure in June of this year, attributing it to \u201coperational difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n

DRTY Ice Cream\u00a0opened its downtown outpost inside Foosh in January<\/a>, but on Wednesday, July 22, it announced it would be shutting the location down.<\/p>\n The team noted a list of factors contributing to the closure, including \u201cheavy construction, random road closures, expensive parking, and little to no foot traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010150 104th St., Edmonton<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n This spot came to Edmonton in the peak era of arcade bars. With games, drinks, and a cool atmosphere, it was no shock that this place quickly filled up on evenings and weekends with great energy.<\/p>\n It officially closed its doors after a party to remember on Sunday, July 26.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010141 109th St. NW, Edmonton, Alta.<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n B\u00fcndok<\/p>\n B\u00fcndok is yet another restaurant located in Edmonton\u2019s downtown core that closed this year, joining an ongoing list of many excellent spots in the city that have shuttered. It closed the same weekend as Greta.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010228 104th St. NW, Edmonton, Alta.<\/p>\n Located in a quaint 100-year-old heritage brick building, Wilfred\u2019s originally opened in 2018. This popular brunch spot had a grip on Edmonton\u2019s Brewery District, and it\u2019s been busy for just over eight years.<\/p>\n Its last day open was on Saturday, July 26, sending itself off with a huge community turnout.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010429 121st St. NW, Edmonton, Alta.<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Zymo is yet another restaurant that has closed this month in downtown Edmonton, adding, once again, to the long list of restaurants that have already shut their doors.<\/p>\n Dalla Tavola Zenari was the restaurant that had previously occupied the same space as Zymo, having lasted around 40 years. Zymo, however, only lasted less than a year.<\/p>\n Address:\u00a010166 100a St. NW, Edmonton, Alta.<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Still hungry? Discover Dished Edmonton on TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n
