Canadian Pacific Strathcona Station
In 1891 the first train arrived in South Edmonton. The original station was a wooden structure built just south of this location. A replica of that station has been recreated by the Junior League of Edmonton and is used as the C& E Railway Museum.
Construction began on this building in 1907 and it was opened on January 21, 1908, at a cost of $30,000. It’s architectural style combines a mixture of Scottish and French Chateau schools of design. The second storey remained undeveloped until 1914 when it was then used as a storage facility and living quarters for train crews. Although Strathcona amalgamated with Edmonton in 1912, it was not until 1932 that the name of the station was changed from Strathcona to the South Edmonton Station.
The last passenger train left this terminal in 1985 and in 1992 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated the building a heritage railway station. It is also on the City of Edmonton’s list of heritage resources.
Strathcona Station remains one of only four stations of its design in Alberta, all of which were built from 1905 to 1910. in 1908 the Edmonton bulletin, described the station as “an attractive feature which cannot fail to impress newcomers”, something which holds true today.
THE FOOD
It’s locally sourced and as fresh as we can get it; picked from local farms and moved from the field to our kitchen as quickly as possible. We take those ingredients and put them in the hands of our talented chefs who have created a menu chock full of honest flavour.
MKT isn’t just a place for dinner, though. Weekend brunch, a business lunch, or late night are all a part of the menu. And there are some unique options you won’t find elsewhere.
THE BEER
Expertly chosen, carefully stored, and perfectly poured, our beer selection is among the finest anywhere. With 100 different brands available, 40 different bottled beers and 60 different beers on tap, we’re sure to have a variety that suits you no matter your tastes.
Don’t worry, our wait staff won’t be rattling off a five minute list to answer your question of “What do you have on tap?”
Every brand we pour will be on display on our signature custom keg wall.
THE EXPERIENCE
Food and beer is a good start, but MKT has a lot more to offer. For starters our bar is stocked with every wine, spirit, and cocktail you’d expect from a high-end establishment. Our location gives us beautiful patio seating right in the heart of Whyte Avenue’s entertainment district. We’ll have live music featured from time to time, beer tasting packages and unique events to round out the nightlife experience.
At MKT we stick to giving you a genuine experience, and our everyday shot at perfect food and beer. It’s a place for people to come and be themselves, in a setting that lets them be just that.
