It's not Schwartz's, but it's damn close. Located in the weirdest little industrial sector of Canmore, it's a smoked meat and poutine mecca for ex-Quebecois that's run, owned and operated by a Montreal NDG boy who knows what he likes, and how the…More »
I had heard good things about this deli from others, and so I tried it out. Cool little location, and the first place that I've seen that openly advertises that he uses Lester's meat (there's about 4 to 5 main providers of smoked meat in bulk,…More »
In my ever ongoing search for truth, justice, and a decent Montreal smoked meat, I was pleasantly surprised by Squish, in an unlikely basement resto right off Banff St. I was in town at the time while enjoying the Boxing Week atmosphere, when a…More »
Actually I like this place. My rating for this place is actually 3.5 stars out of 4, but can't seem to get yelp to 1/2 star things. The meat is tender, and they use a Montreal processor (not one of the superstar ones, but still good). I find the…More »

Ok, I know that this is a bit of a weird review, but it warranted addition because they use the ever famous Dunn's smoked meat, which is simply exciting and tasty as heck. Well seasoned in Montreal steak spices, the meat is simply tender and juicy…More »
Ok, it's definately back open, though I'm a bit mixed.
First, its a little smaller since part of the resto has been shut off (fire damage still?)
Second, all daily specials are gone.
Third, they serve breakfast too now.
As for the food, well, I just…More »
YAY!! It's reopened! I have no idea if it's the same people as it closed under such strange… Read more »
Ok, I'm a little biased here, but I've given this place 3 tries now, and each time I was pretty underwhelmed, even to the point of being kinda scared. I've spoken with the owners, and some other Quebecois who swear by this place, but I just can't…More »

Ethiopian Restos I've Tried in Calgary (4)I give a minimalist review to all of these places, but that's simply because I've enjoyed the food in all of them, except perhaps the now shuttered Queen of Sheba. There's still at least 2 or so other ethiopian restos I've yet to try. |
