I love going to the zoo. It helps that the Calgary Zoo is so much better than the Storyland Valley Zoo in Edmonton.
Calgary's got an extensive list of animals that they care for. Lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), and pandas, elephants, monkeys,…More »
What lies beneath the main floor of the Chinese Cultural Centre here in Calgary? Why, it's a restaurant. In fact, it's a CHINESE food restaurant. Go figure! I know what you're thinking, it was a restaurant once before too. The difference? It's under…More »
I hadn't been to Red's Diner yet, but have been following some of the mixed reviews here on Yelp. When Chris P chose this joint for a mid-week brunch UYE (unofficial Yelp event), I was ready to soak it in like whipped butter and maple syrup on a…More »
It's Saturday, you want a coffee, you missed the breakfast cutoff at your other favourite place and you're in Bowness. Where do you go? Cadence Coffee.
Sporting a menu of all-day breakfast, some light lunch options like sandwiches, salads or wraps, as…More »
1886 is among a string of house-turned-restaurant spots that I've been visiting recently. Hidden a bit behind the Barley Mill, it's a cute little spot to hit up for some breaky-and it's open at 6 am for you early birds.
The menus are laminated paper,…More »
I've been waiting for this for a long time. French toast at Vendome. Not just French toast, but French toast for lunch... or lupper? It was 2 pm.
I've heard good things, but I wasn't quite sure what made this French toast so great. After all, some…More »
I think this was the third or fourth time I've ever eaten dim sum. So if you're a dim sum specialist, you may or may not have differing opinions, because so far I think it's all pretty darn tasty.
I met up with some other yelpers for a Sunday brunch.…More »
I took Ms Crystal H for a visit to Diner Deluxe this morning. It's an essential visit for guests and somehow I had neglected it before today! No matter, all is well in the world now.
This time round, the service was a wee bit on the slow side to…More »
If you're going to make a list of Calgary establishments, Diner Deluxe had better be on it. Mixed… Read more »
When you're eating breakfast for supper, what do you call it? Breaper? Supfast? Sunch? Whatever it is, the Mighty Skillet is the place to get it IMO.
The truck was parked in Olympic Plaza during Snowblower and I was in some serious need of grub before…More »
Those red velvet pancakes are somethin' else. If you like sweet, you'll love 'em! If you can't handle as much sweet, you can also orders yourself a nice little side portion with your country breakfast. I ordered a plateful. I like sweet. It was still…More »
One star, two star... red star... BLUE STAR!! Of *course* a Dr. Seuss reference works for this place. You're going to think of it now every time you head on over to Blue Star, right? ;)
I popped in for lunch with a colleague on Tuesday. Well,…More »
We came, we ate, we left... with not really much of an impression. AKA is nice, the decor is lovely, with three chandeliers hanging across one wall, and dark high tables. It's a tiny space too, and not overly noisy.
Being in for brunch, it was a menu…More »
