1. Yelp's Korean-der Consumption Elite Party at Anju
Yet another excellent Yelp event that I've had the privilege to attend! The cocktails were excellent, the food and dessert was great, and it was good to meet other Yelp'ers and Twitter folk! Thanks again Wendy!
2. Ming
Ming is quite the unique place. Atmosphere-wise, it's got a cozy late-night-lounge feel to it. There is a bit of a Communist theme to it, and this is reflected not only in their menu (with sections like "Primary Agenda" and "Processions"), but also…More »
3. Richmond's Pub & Eatery
Overall, I'd have to say that the only way I'd ever come back would strictly be for drinks.
My friend and I were there late on a Sunday night. It was fairly empty, and there were two servers on. The place was absolutely freezing (it hadn't been that…More »
4. Chinook Centre
Ah, the Chinook Mall. It has morphed so much over the years. At one point back when I lived in Canmore, this would be the mall we would *always* hit up when we came to town. They have always had a great variety of shops, which was a godsend as a kid.…More »
5. Misato Japanese Restaurant
I quite like this place. I met up with three other friends here for sushi one night. The restaurant is a bit "out of the way" from where I'd usually go, but it's one of the few places that seems to have figured out the balance between "how fast the…More »
6. Melrose Cafe & Bar
What's not to say about the Melrose? Between Breakfast Clubs, birthday parties, and just random meetups for a drink or two (or many, many more), this seems to be the place to be at.
For starters, they are one of the most social media interactive…More »
7. Urban Baker
Well, breakfast plans had fallen through and I was absolutely starving. We were going to hit up Diner Deluxe, but there was a lineup out the door by the time we found parking. Fortunately, this bakery was right next door (it didn't hurt that their…More »
8. Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House
NOTE: If you are looking for this restaurant, it is on 10th street before you get to 6th avenue!
Oftentimes, when we aren't sure what we want to eat, my girlfriend and will cruise around downtown looking for certain types of food on Yelp. I was…More »
9. The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company
Canmore, AB T1W 2B5
(403) 678-9983
Categories:
Pubs,

Canadian (Traditional)
This place is a bit of an enigma. Some of my friends have had incredibly good experiences here, while other swear they will not set foot in there ever again. I quite like it. In pre-Yelp days, a friend and I were pretty much regulars, going there for…More »
10. Greco's Pizza & George's Lounge
I had a craving a for a large, tasty pizza, so after much searching on Yelp we settled on this place.
I quite enjoyed the atmosphere here - it seemed familiar somehow. It reminded me a bit of a restaurant I'd worked in before they had done a major…More »
11. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
I quite enjoy this place, though I doubt it ever gets slow here. Waiting for a table at times can take quite a while, but it's something I've never done when eating here, opting instead to do take-out.
Both time I've been here for food, the pizza has…More »
12. communitea cafe
If you want the best tasting latte in town, go here. I make it a point to get to Communitea whenever I am in town. I'm sure it sounds a bit odd to rave about the espresso when they are marketed as more of a tea house, but such is how it is.
If you get…More »
13. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters
My Phil & Sebastian story is a bit different from the rest - I actually stumbled upon them first in Chinook Mall when they opened up a branch in the expansion area. It wasn't until later that I discovered the Marda Loop location, the "homebase" (so…More »
14. Banzai Restaurant
This is a great little place. The food you get for the price is quite filling, especially if you have the rice bowls. Very tasty food.
The area to eat in isn't overly huge, but it's decently spaced. Our food was ready quite quickly. I'd ordered the…More »
15. Libertine Public House
The Libertine is in an excellent location on Stephen Avenue. Unfortunately, that seems to only be one of it's redeeming qualities.
I was here for a birthday party. It seemed that the birthday girl had reserved upstairs, and the restaurant had double…More »
16. Phil's Restaurants
I have yet to be disappointed by any of the food here. That said, there's not really anything supremely special or unique that they do here that has me eager to come back. It's ok.
One thing I really like that they do is when you order a coffee, they…More »
17. Humpty's Family Restaurants
I quite enjoy that I can come here for dinner with my friends or my folks for dinner, and I can still get stuff like french toast, pancakes, eggs...and of course, bacon.
I think that's the only thing I've ever ordered here, and I've never been…More »
18. Real Canadian Superstore
This Superstore is in an ideal spot for me. Their bread and foods have been quite good, and fairly fresh considering the size of the store. This seems to be one of the better maintained Superstores in the city - floors are good and clean, product…More »
19. Real Canadian Superstore
On my last visit to this Superstore, I found the floors were incredibly dirty, and the lighting was not great in many sections. This is a shame considering this is a pretty new location. Otherwise, it's a typical Superstore - lots of food, clothes,…More »
20. Safeway
This Safeway in Marda Loop seems to be a slightly smaller version of other Safeways throughout the city. We often come by here on the way home, and find that sometimes we can't find what we are looking for. They seem to be on top of things though,…More »
21. CRAFT Beer Market, Restaurant & Bar

I've been to Craft twice for food and drink - once on opening night and another time.
Opening night was a bit of a gongshow which was the result of miscommunications - nothing overly surprising. Chaos is atypical of an opening night anywhere. I'd…More »
22. Iron Goat
I absolutely love coming to the Iron Goat. The views from anywhere inside or outside the building are just incredible. I have yet to eat anything here that I have been disappointed with.
Upon walking in through the huge heavy doors, you are greeted…More »
23. Bow Bulgogi House
One midweek day, a friend and I decided to walk here for dinner. That ended up being an excellent idea. I'd passed this place numerous times, either in a bus or a car. I had the beef Bulgogi, and it was both quite filling and really good.
As other…More »
24. Glamorgan Bakery
Having worked in a small independent bakery, I have a bit of a weakness for these smaller bakeries that aren't attached to a grocery store of any sort. The pies here have been quite good, and so have the cheese buns. It's best to get here early in…More »
25. Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus
I remember hearing about this place, and immediately calling my Dutch friend. "Is this place pretty good?" I'd asked.
"How have you not been there? It's awesome!" was his reply.
So, on his recommendation and waking up one morning craving pancakes, we…More »
26. Niko's Bistro
I think I've found the little Italian place for me.
This place is hopping! We went mid-week, but when we arrived we realized how wise it was of us to have called ahead and make a reservation. I definitely recommend you do the same.
The owner of the…More »
27. Endeavor Arts Gallery & Event Space
This is a beautiful space! I quite like their layout. Most of the art they have there is somewhat interactive, and they always have something for everyone.
I've been there for the Protospace section of the Haultain and 1st Street Festival, and have…More »
28. Co Do Vietnamese Restaurant
This was the place where I first learned what Pho was. It was an excellent intro.
We arrived about an hour before closing (something I don't like doing), but the staff were quite friendly and happy to serve us. I got a Beef Pho...but somewhere in…More »
