The Lingnan

The Lingnan is a Chinese restaurant in Edmonton, Alberta. It is the second-oldest existing restaurant in Edmonton, having opened in 1947,[1] and mainly serves westernized Cantonese cuisine.[2]

The Lingnan has been owned by the Quon family since its founding and has been in its present location in Central McDougall, Edmonton since the 1960s.[3][4] Since 2002, the Lingnan has been solely owned by Kinman Quon, who runs it with his wife Amy and their family.[1] The restaurant celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2022.[3] Amy Quon also owned the downtown Edmonton Chinese restaurant Chicken for Lunch, which operated for 32 years before closing in 2024.[5]

The Lingnan and the Quon family were the subject of the third season of the Food Network Canada television show The Family Restaurant,[6] which was spun off into the Citytv show The Quon Dynasty.[7][8] The restaurant was also featured in a scene from the film Before I Change My Mind.[9]
