European Deli & Russian Books

Best Russian store in Edmonton! I that’s where I finally could find my favorite things I missed having easily available to me since I have moved here from Russia. I love how you can find here not only traditional russian groceries, but also some other stuff like herbs (best selection of dried herbs ever!!!), oils, dvds… I am very happy to have found this place!

This store carries all things Russian, therefore it is a regular shopping spot for me. If anybody wants to expand their horizons, and try Russian cuisine, I strongly recommend this place.
European deli is a family owned store, and the owners are always friendly and helpful. Russian Edmontonians frequent this place because here they can buy everythings from fresh produce (mostly from British Columbia which makes it less pricey) to meats, cheeses and packed food. I find it that during summer months European Deli is the place to buy cheapest blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. The deals are so much better than at Safeway and Save-​On. The selection of tea, candy and chocolates is also great. The fridge at the back of the store is stocked with fresh sour cream and butter from farmer’s market. Additionally, this deli sells varieties of delicious smoked meat and fish as well as pelmeni, which are small dumplings filled with differents kinds of meat. In addition to food, European Deli sells DVDs with Russian movies and CDs with Russian music. I find their selection quite extensive.
Whenever I am at European Deli I always notice a couple Canadians shopping there, so don’t be afraid to come in! I repeat that the owners are very helpful, and will definitely give you recommedations if you want to try any food unfamiliar to you.
