Olly Fresco's - Edmonton

As a hospital worker, I can't help but feel envious that the AHS headquarters has a restaurant like Olly's nearby. However, I can't say I'm shocked.

The food was delicious! Even though there was a long line during lunch hour, the restaurant had multiple cashiers working to speed things up.

This spacious restaurant is situated at the base of the Alberta Health Services building, offering a buffet option as well as other freshly made dishes.

I go to Olly's a couple times a week for lunch. It is fast and lots of variety, can differ each day. serves breakfast and lunch and so many things to choose from. Be careful though, you pay by weight so think about that as you fill up your container. you can go or stay, You can fill up on the best bacon for almost next to nothing! I usually go because there aren't enough chairs and they fill up fast. Did I say there was lots to choose from? Endless variety and I love it!

Love this place! Once you try it you will be hooked. It is crazy busy during the lunch hour so go early. The food is nothing gourmet but it is always crisp and fresh. And there is always a great variety! There is a buffet of hot food, an extensive salad bar, a counter to order sandwiches, and tons of beverages. I am completely addicted to their chinese food and their samosas. Just keep in mind they charge you for your food based on weight. It took me a few trips to figure out that my eyes were bigger than my stomach and that was killing my lunch budget. Lol
