See All Lists
1. The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company
Canmore, AB T1W 2B5
(403) 678-9983
Categories:
Pubs,
Breweries,
Canadian (Traditional)
The Grizzly Paw is a fun place to visit in Canmore, whether after a hard day of hiking (nothing like a beer & a hearty meal!) or shopping or just hanging out.
The wood interior gives it a really cabin-esque feel, which isn't unusual in Canmore (at…More »
2. Libertine Public House
This was my first visit to the Libertine, for a friend's birthday, and it wasn't especially favourable.
The positives:
- we got served our first drinks fairly efficiently after sitting down
- the ladies at the front were able to show us to our party
-…More »
3. communitea cafe
I love visiting Communitea when I come to Canmore. I've tried a number of their drinks - all are excellent.
In my opinion, lattes are graded by how much sugar I need to add to make it taste good. At Communitea, I don't need to add sugar - that means…More »
4. Endeavor Arts Gallery & Event Space
Endeavor, you are one of those venues where I could come back over and over and over...
Oh, wait, I do :P
I've been to Endeavor for:
- Awesome Calgary Pitch Night
- Geek Movie Night
- Yelp Potluck Party
- Calgary Samba School
... and there's more, I'm sure.…More »
5. Westbrook Mall
Westbrook Mall is an okay place to visit for your local shopping needs. It's got a little bit of everything... Walmart, Sports Chek, Safeway, Dollar Store... it's not up there with Southcentre or Chinook or Market Mall but it works. Could use…More »
6. Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House
I was expecting AMAZING after reading the reviews, but ended up getting AVERAGE.
We wanted pho so did a search on Yelp for great places and came up with this one. After finally finding a parking spot, we walked down 6th Ave and were a little worried…More »
7. Salt & Pepper Resaurante Mexicano
I visited Salt & Pepper on a date with my sister. Mainly because I had a hankering for Mexican food and since I'd been here for drinks a few weeks ago, I thought I'd try out the food.
Pitchers of margaritas are pretty much 1/3 the price on Mondays.…More »
8. Scotiabank Saddledome
Granted, I don't spend a WHOLE lot of time here (a few times a year) and I don't have many other venues to compare it to, but all in all the Saddledome seems to work for what it's for. Food and drink are good, albeit a little pricey. The nosebleeds…More »
9. Ming
Ming is a great place to visit for cocktails and/or a late-night dinner. We went on a Monday night so it was pretty dead, with just a few tables taken. The drinks at Ming are delish - we had one that was meant to share between two people and found it…More »
10. Toque International Lounge
Visited Toque with a couple of friends. I'd never been to the previous venues here so it was a first visit to the location, period.
The interior is friendly. We were there during a Flames game but it wasn't loud at all so that's a plus if you want…More »
11. Phil's Restaurants
Okay - so, I've been back to Phil's a couple of times and my review has changed slightly. Service has been consistent - the server must have been experiencing an "off" day when I went the first time. Although, they never seem to fill my water glass.…More »

I was in the area and decided to give this location a try. It was mid-afternoon, so it wasn't… Read more »
12. Double Zero Pizza
Double Zero, I am hooked. My sister and I had a dinner date, so we picked Double Zero as our destination. It was a Friday night and we didn't make a reservation, so there were no tables available, but they kindly seated us at the bar.
The wine menu is…More »
13. Charcut Roast House
SIGH
I've heard great things about Charcut. Amazing things. People rave about it. I've been to the Alleyburger (before it became a gongshow, and then a truck) - auctioned off my burger because I don't eat them.
But my visit was really average. And…More »
14. The Big Cheese
I've heard a lot of mixed things about The Big Cheese, but mostly unfavourable. I've avoided it for that reason. But I happened upon it one evening after some drinks for a friend's birthday at Melrose, which is how I'm sure most of the poutinerie's…More »
15. Greco's Pizza & George's Lounge
Greco's is always a good time. Came here on a weekend night and were afraid we'd have trouble finding a table but it wasn't a problem.
French Onion soup was great, though perhaps a little too much bread, and the village salad was awesome, as usual.…More »
16. Body Essentials
I really wanted to write a great review for this place, but in the end it's going to be pretty average.
I bought a Dealfind voucher back in January (well, 2 - one for my mom for Mothers Day and one for myself because it was a great deal). I wasn't…More »
17. Prema Sai Wholistic Living
Prema Sai is a fantastic place to go for massage. Anyone I've ever spoken to has loved it, as do I. I'm not saying that you'll love every single masseuse that works at the clinic - BUT - there are so many that you are bound to find one that suits…More »
18. Misato Japanese Restaurant
I adore Misato - having lived in Vancouver for 4 years, I appreciate good sushi and it's hard to find in Calgary.
Granted, my sushi picks usually tend towards the "safer" stuff ;)
The service is always great, and the restaurant has just the right…More »
19. Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus
I love the Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus - I just don't drop by nearly as often as I should, even though it's so close!
It's true that the line up is out-of-control if you arrive after about 10am, however, there seems to be a lull around 11:30 between…More »
20. Co Do Vietnamese Restaurant
Had a good visit here - I had the lemongrass chicken on rice (#40) and it was delicious. I haven't tried out a whole host of Vietnamese restaurants so I'm no expert, but definitely worthy of having again.
Despite arriving less than an hour before…More »
21. Bubbles Car Wash
Calgary, AB T2H 0K1
(403) 255-1726
Categories:
Auto Repair,
Auto Detailing,
Car Wash
Ah, Bubbles... what can I say.
I spent an inane amount of time in my car this summer, especially August. Like, 60 hours on the road. After that much use, it's bound to be dirty. Past the point of me doing it myself... it needed an intervention.
Bubbles…More »
22. Good Earth Cafe
Oh, Good Earth. I've tried, I really have... but I just can't seem to like you. No matter what location I go to, the coffee is always disappointing. I never finish a cup.
Not to say that the staff wasn't friendly (they were) or that the location and…More »
23. Niko's Bistro
I'm not much for Italian food but Niko's Bistro was awesome. We made a reservation even though we came on a Wednesday night and, in hindsight, that was probably the right thing to do. Despite the weeknight, it was packed shortly after we arrived.…More »
24. The Costume Shoppe
Admittedly, I had never been to The Costume Shoppe until about a month ago. I had the luck to attend a VIP shopping night and see what it was all about, although I didn't make any purchases that evening.
The store has something for everyone. Pretty…More »
25. CMYE: Yelp's Fall Supper
I decided to go to this event at the last minute - as in, I woke up from a nap about 15 mins before the event started and thought "Yeah, I need to hang around some awesome people this evening. Why not?"
Which meant I brought store-bought brownies…More »
26. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters
I've fallen head-over-heels in love with Phil&Seb coffee. I did a 10-day sugar fast earlier this year and discovered that all coffee is not created equal. And P&S is absolutely perfect the way it is.
This location is always very fast & efficient. The…More »
27. Higher Ground
Like Wendy, Tiffany and Sarah Louise, I attended a Global Vegetarian Night in October at Higher Ground. Unlike Wendy, Tiffany and Sarah Louise, my meal was NOT vegan as I had a coffee with my meal :s Oops. Which just means I need to go again, right??…More »
28. Bâton Rouge
Calgary, AB T2C 5E1
(403) 984-4044
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Canadian (Traditional)
I live in the central SW so I'd never even heard of this restaurant before a friend suggested we try it. The menu looked good so I was game to give it a try.
We had a great visit - the server was very attentive, constantly replacing my diet coke as I…More »
29. Panago
We decided to head to someone's place for dinner & picked up pizza on the way.
I don't eat red meat, so we ordered a tropical chicken pizza, which sounded awesome. I'd like to talk about how great it tasted, except when we got to our destination, it…More »
30. Urban Baker
Well, breakfast plans fell through due to wait times, so we grabbed some grub from Urban Baker and headed to a later brunch with friends instead.
I'd heard good things about Urban Baker and I was not disappointed. We got a strawberry-rhubarb scone…More »
