See All Lists
1. Bamboo Garden
Extremely cordial and friendly staff here at Bamboo Garden. As soon as we walked in (the elevator in the building takes you straight in to the restaurant), we were treated like old regulars. I was apprehensive at first, when I saw no one else eating…More »
2. Squish Sandwich Seller
Yesterday, I came here after Banff sushi was too packed and the bar next to it was too un-vegan. Squish Sandwich Seller is located on the strip in a basement (get it; "seller?" It's a pun made in Wendytron™ heaven). They have a picture menu right up…More »
3. Avatamsaka Monastery
Getting inside is tricky! The front of the Monastery is undergoing some renovating, so I ran around outside in confused circles; getting easily distracted by the Canada Geese outside that were brazenly walking right up to me to inspect my iPhone…More »
4. Joey Chinook
I've been here a few times, and I didn't realize I hadn't reviewed it yet!
I really appreciate the fact that they will turn any (or most) of their menu items in to a vegan item just for you. No sad, sour pasta or sad, dry veggie burger or gross salad…More »
5. Donair Hut
A very friendly guy made my wrap here, yesterday. I got a small Falafel wrap that had 2 Falafels inside and was brimming with fresh toppings. It was decent, but I've honestly had better, and it was kind of weird that he scooped all the stuff that…More »
6. Sammys
30/30
I bookmarked this place not long after Wendy reviewed it; then I remembered: I've eaten here before! Several times. It's the Falafel place near the Spy Store :).
"Oh, I don't know, Tiffany. That place looks scary. It's also possibly a front." My…More »
7. Castle Pizza & Donair
22/30
My doctor used to be in the clinic next door, so I used to stop here after a visit to quell my hunger pangs. Pretty decent, although sometimes it gets really dirty in here, especially since across the street is a High School.
The falafel here is…More »
8. Amaranth Whole Foods Market
28/30
My sister works nearby, and when she told me that they opened up a "healthy store with vegan stuff" on 130th, I was thrilled. CNF, I love you and I'm a loyal customer, but you're not conveniently located.
Also, Amaranth had tons of stock on sale…More »
9. Commonwealth Bar & Stage
10/30
"Let's go dancing! We'll go to Mansion!" Pass. I convinced my favorite OPP and her lady friend to come to Commonwealth instead, where the Warehouse/Underground used to be. It's been transformed in to an awesome place for dancing and chilling…More »
10. Blue Star Diner
I had never been to Blue Star Diner before, but I'm glad I got to visit with 3 lovely ladies. They fix a terrific vegan burger here, and I enjoyed their black bean soup. Beautiful, slightly breezy, sunny day. Three awesome, witty funny ladies to…More »
11. Mucho Burrito
1/30 - April Challenge
I agree, the staff here: Much friendlier and far more generous than their Quarry Park counterpart. When I ask for two salsas at Quarry Park, I get a bored, glassy eyed, "we have to charge you extra for that" reply. Here, you can…More »
12. Chili Island Chinese & Thai
This place is okay. Service is prompt, the owner is very friendly and most importantly, knows her menu really well. My friend had the wonton soup, which at under $6, is a steal.
I really wish the tofu curry didn't have canned bamboo shoots in it,…More »
13. Kawa Espresso Bar
I came here tonight with Miss Sarah Louise. In the seven minutes we were there, we got tea, had a seat, and watched as an eldritch gentleman took a bite out of a cake; laughed loudly and muttered to himself, "WHAT IS CAKE??", threw it out and then…More »
14. Dickens Pub
I used to walk by this pub all the time and not really think about ever going inside. I'm glad my first experience here was during a quiet, Board Game Sunday. The bartender was awesome, friendly and remembered my name (without shortening it to that…More »
15. Tubby Dog
I once wandered in to Tubby Dog after Beer Fest, extremely drunk and craving EVERYTHING. You know the feeling. You also know the after "Oh my God, I can't believe I ate an entire tub of butter last night" feeling the morning after.
Tubby Dog serves…More »
16. Broken City Social Club
Broken City recently updated their menu again, and while I'm sad that the vegan poutine is off the menu for good (especially since I never seemed to be able to try it! :'(), they DO have a delicious Vegan Burger now! No dry, microwaved to the point…More »

17. Hop In Brew Pub
So the first time I went to the Hop, the building across the street didn't exist yet. It was just an empty lot. While I nursed a beer upstairs, a homeless guy in the empty lot decided to nurse... himself.
But that's not the Hop in Brew's fault (or IS…More »
18. Casbah Restaurant
27/30
The shareef may not like it, but I do. Who wouldn't like sitting on fancy silk couches surrounded by golden tapestries, while a waiter comes and washes your hands with rosewater? He'll tell you stories of Morocco, you'll sip on mint tea with a…More »
19. Local 510
26/30
I was a fan of this place before I stepped in, based on their name alone. See, I grew up in the 510 :). Haystack, represent! This was where I tried Steam Whistle for the first time and this is where I've been with friends to have deep…More »
20. Mucho Burrito
16/30
One day, Calgary will open up a Rubio's or a Chipotle and then I'll be happy. Until then, we have Mucho Burrito. Mucho Burrito is actually on the surprisingly delicious end of the long line of very sad "Mexican" restaurants we have here.…More »
21. Kinjo Sushi
12/30
This place is always packed! I went here last night to celebrate two birthdays, and probably ate two birthdays worth of sushi. Everything here is well made and reasonably priced.
We waited a little while for a booth and watched in anticipation…More »
22. Vue Café
I love eating here when I have no qualms about dropping $25 on lunch just for me. That might not seem like a lot to some, but when I was 13; $25 a week was my allowance. That was the full amount if I didn't get docked for things like not washing…More »
23. Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant
I used to work close by, so this was a fairly frequent stop after hours with my coworkers. I've been back a few times since then. The food is fairly consistent, they have a decent veggie burger and the servers are always pleasant.
However, one time,…More »
24. Higher Ground
Dear Dan,
Thank you for the delicious vegan noms you and your staff provide every Wednesday night. Last night, I was finally able to try them! I follow Higher Ground on twitter and salivate every week when the Global Vegetarian Night menu gets posted.…More »

25. Pho Anh Huyen Noodle House
Delicious food, good vegetarian selection, and if you go there often enough, they remember you and smile when you walk in :). I never had to remind anyone there that I needed peanut and not fish sauce. During certain times of the day, you can watch a…More »
26. Quizno's Classic Subs
I used to stop by here on a regular basis when I worked across the street. I hadn't been to this location in years, but was starving on the way home from the park. This business is surrounded by loads of tempting independent joints... but, again, I…More »
27. Mango Shiva
Mango Shiva isn't the restaurant you go to for 100% Authentic™ Indian food. There are other restaurants in town for that. You go to Mango Shiva for the pleasant atmosphere, decent and friendly service and the delicious "Fusion" food.
Now, normally, I…More »
28. Delhi Darbar
This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Calgary, but lately I've been worried for them, as every time I go; there doesn't seem to be very many customers. Their veg offerings are amazeballs, especially their yellow daal. Even better, the owner…More »

29. Rockyview General Hospital
I recently stayed here for 6 days due to some mystery disease that they are still trying to figure out. Care was excellent, though on occasion rather perfunctory, and most important: I got better each day. I went to my family doctor prior to going to…More »
30. South St. Burger Co.
Went here to try out their veggie burger. While waiting for my order, there was a photo on the wall of a burger made entirely of peas that claimed to be the veggie burger. Thankfully, that was not the case! The burger wasn't bad, albeit a little on…More »
31. The Local 522
Once again, a situation where I wish I could rate one member of the staff differently from the actual experience.
Granted, the ladies and I came here on an extremely busy pre-St. Patrick's Day Friday night, which meant it was a bologna forest in…More »
32. Buddha's Veggie Restaurant
Okay. This place has finally redeemed themselves, in my eyes. True, they may not be solely vegan anymore, but seeing as how I'm the sole vegan in my group of friends or when I'm with my family 99.9% of the time, I'm glad we have a place where we can…More »

33. Cobs Bread
COBS. Classy Oven Bread. That's not what it stands for, but it is some amazing deliciousness in my mouth that makes me want to throw all the other bread I have out. The ladies here are super sweet, with smiles that get wider as you add a million…More »
34. Sushi Ginza Japanese Restaurant
I've been to this place for many an occasion: birthdays, dates, anniversaries, I'm-too-drunk-to-cook-for-myse lfaries. Whenever I go, I hitch up my fat pants and wind up ordering fried spicy tofu, kaisou (seaweed) salad or spinach gomae, vegetable or…More »
35. Artesa Vineyards & Winery
This is one of the most beautiful wineries I have ever seen. Don't let the fact that I'm from Alberta and we only have one brand of wine, dissuade you from the fact that Artesa is gorgeous. Even their toilets are works of art.
So gorgeous, even the…More »
36. V. Sattui Winery
V. Sattui, I miss you. From your Rosés to your Adult Ho-Hos to your $5 for 5 wines, to your awesome shady garden (which is perfect for inebriated picnic times); sigh. I miss the days when you were just an hour away by car.
I wish your website…More »
37. La Villa Medina
"Let's go to La Villa Medina." Sounded like a fancy, exotic restaurant. Color me confused when we pulled up to the parking lot at Cross Iron Mills.
I'm glad to say that the food was worth the trick to get me to go to a giant mall. Fluffy soft pitas…More »
38. Community Natural Foods
OMG. CNF just started carrying a TON of vegan goods that were, for the longest time, only available in the US. Things that I've been drooling over for years and have had to make a long drive to Montana for (or risk ordering online and dealing with…More »

While looking for fiddleheads at the new Calgary Farmers Market, I stopped by the food court to see what they offered that the Kingsland Farmers Market does not. Because, let's be honest; the produce is not what you go to a Farmers Market in Calgary…More »
40. Thai Tai
Dear Thai Tai,
I understand that your staff probably don't want to deal with having to clean up a customer bathroom - especially since you're situated on 17 Ave. I worked a few blocks down for a year and I only let pregnant women and children use our…More »
