During the month of February, we celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions generations of African Americans have made in our communities, economy and world. Our city is lucky enough to have so many Black-owned businesses, including a few delicious restaurants that we will be highlighting throughout this blog post – all of which are located just minutes away from us at The Hat at Five Corners.
There are also some other awesome blog posts that highlight even more restaurants in the city such as this one here written by Alanna Morton in which we found some information for our blog post. We also highly recommend visiting AfroBiz.ca for more ways that you can support local Black-owned businesses here in Edmonton!
