1. Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant
What's still awesome about Brewster's downtown? The blueberry ale. Always was, always will be. The service is also still right up there. These guys have a good formula going.
But what's changed? Renos for one. It's about half the size it used to be,…More »

2. The Holy Grill
Oh Holy Grill, how is it that even after four years of frequenting you for lunches, you still get it right. EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME! You've got panini world down to a mad science. Your line moves quickly. Your booming voices ensure no one misses their…More »

3. Surya Restaurant East Indian Cuisine
A thread on the Calgary conversation board entitled 'Secret Restaurants' put Indian food on my brain this morning as the post was asking people to share some of their favourite, but less known spots.
My contribution come rushing to the front of my…More »
4. Bumpy's Cafe
Alright, I know my last review for Bumpy's was a 5-star, but it just got better.
Bumpy's has renovated, and with the renovations come a much improved coffee rush line. It's true, there is reduced seating capacity (Bumpy's wasn't all that big to begin…More »

5. 1410 World Bier Haus
You're up, you're down. You've landed somewhere in the middle. 1410, once upon a time I really did enjoy your surroundings, your staff and your offerings. But over the last year or so something changed. Your music got louder, you just seemed to have…More »

6. Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Have I mentioned how much I love the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary? It's now one of my favourite places to head for a stroll on a gorgeous wintry day. The path is easy to walk, it's nice and quiet, and there are photos to be taken at every turn if you so…More »

7. Prince's Island Park
I'm still in love with Prince's Island Park. This year, I've taken to running through it when I'm out attempting to look like I'm really an athlete.
In the spring, there are oodles of blossoms along the pathways to sniff out and photograph. You'll…More »

8. Myrhe's Deli
Oh sandwiches, how do I love thee?
There isn't a great deal of selection at Myrhe's Deli, but man can they make a mean sandwich. Earlier this year, I stopped in for a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich and ordered it to go. It took a few minutes to make…More »
9. Cruffs Cream Puffs
Well hello there little cream puff. What are you doing in a place like this? You're so delicate and sweet in contrast to the harsh winter wind chilling me to the bone today. But it's a wind I did brave to come to greet you. I've heard good things and…More »
10. The Home Depot
I always have a hard time admitting my crushes, but I'm totally digging on Home Depot right now. I love that all I have to do is hop up 14th street, swing a left, and I can wander the aisles full of tools. I think I was a carpenter in a past life.

11. Kol3
What is this place? And how in the world do I say 'Banh Xeo'? Thanks to sign by the door, I know it's Bun-say-oh. I can order my sizzling Asian crepe without having to call it a crepe. Translated, this means sizzling cake.
Bright greens, blues and…More »

Since it opened, folks have been telling me to have my lunch over at the bar at Home Tasting Room. Yesterday I decided to take them up on their suggestion. As lovely an experience as it is at one of the tables, sitting at the countertop by the open…More »

Q: Where do you go for a comforting lunch on a rainy day?
A: WilderNest.
There's been a steady downfall of rain the last few days and I've been in need of some real warm and tasty homemade comfort food. Thanks be to the Yelp gods for WilderNest's lunch…More »
14. Vin Room
I had THE BEST time at Vin Room yesterday. It was sooooo good, in fact, that I just had to upgrade my review from a 5 start to, well.. a 5 star. Have you read any reviews that wished they could give a biz 0 stars? The same feeling works in the…More »

15. JAROblue - CLOSED
ZOMG! Yes, JAROblue deserves a ZOMG. It's a danger to subpar food places that its so close to me. I love that there's yet another spot in Calgary raisin' the bar on quality food, service and drink. Open but a mere 4 years, this hangout has my vote…More »
16. Model Milk
If you're wondering why this place is called Model Milk, it's because it's in an old milk factory. Although I never experienced it as a place of milk, I think I like it better as a resto.
It's got an extensive wine list, some yummy cocktails (if you…More »
17. Glenbow Museum
We've got a pretty sweet museum on our hands... that's right, on our hands. Because there's no point in an awesome museum without locals coming to visit to help keep it on its feet.
Right now, the Glenbow's hosting the Watch Me Move exhibit, an…More »

18. The Costume Shoppe
I'm lovin' the Costume Shoppe. Once upon a time, they would've been top of mind at Halloween. Now, they're top of mind whenever I'm thinking a costume or accessory would be wise.
Take last Friday, for instance. We were running a photo booth at Lucha…More »
