I revisited Vendome just to see if the Crab Eggs Benedict was available that day, as I had missed it last time. And lo and behold, they had it! I ordered, and went to my table to take a seat.

When the meal was brought to my table, and I dug in, I was…More »

Bang fo' yo' buck! (4)

Being on a budget doesnt have to mean subjecting yourself to dreadful $2 burgers at McDs. Here are the places where you can stretch your hard-earned dollar to the max, without compromising quality, taste and self-esteem.

Indian/Bengali/PK food in the YYC (8)

Want to get your culture on? Let the culture QUEEN help you navigate through the intricate, yet delicious world of curries, samosas and biryanis!

Entertaining out-of-town visitors! (10)

These are the places to go, when you want to show off this awesome city to friends and family visiting from out of town!

Hosting a party? (7)

There comes a time in every Yelper's life where they have to choose a spot to host their big event - be it dinner, drinks or a special occasion. These are - in my opinion - the best places in Calgary to hold parties, or big gatherings!

I left my heart in Montreal (4)

If I could profess my love to a city, Montreal would be it.

Sabahat's 'Usual Suspects' (9)

I dont like going back to the same places more than once, because I am commitment-phobe. (Why settle, when there is so much new stuff to try??)
However, a few places have that something 'extra' about them that keep me coming back for more!

So swanky and fabulous, even Carrie Bradshaw would dine here! (8)

I'm a city girl - through and through! These places make me forget I'm in cowtown!
Presenting some of the best in urban, scrumptious cuisine with an atmosphere that transports you somewhere else completely!

Gourmet Pizza in the YYC (3)

Yes, pizza can be gourmet too! And DAMN good gourmet, at that!
