Dining

Saskatchewan is known for the largest per-capita ratio of restaurants to citizens, so there is a wide variety of places to choose from. Aside from the regular chains, here is a list of local favorites:
 •  The Free House  on Albert is a popular spot for a tasty lunch or for chilling out in the evening. Popular with the office and university crowd, the food and service are excellent, but you may find it a little too busy at certain times of the day.
 •  Neo Japonica , the ultimately authentic Japanese restaurant, is one of the few places in Regina that is consistently endorsed by national reviewers. For those who don't have the cash to go completely authentic, a few other Japanese restaurants have cropped up lately that are also quite good. They include Hanabi , Michi Sushi  and Teppanyaki .

Drink

For those looking to check out a bar or night club in the evening, Regina's Old Warehouse district is the place to be. There are at least 6 bars and clubs on Dewdney Ave between Albert and Broad street, with more bars within walking distance down both Albert and Broad, including the excellent Gaslight Saloon .
