Five Star Calgary Reviews
See All Lists
1. Aida's Mediterranean Bistro
Shawarma and falafels seem like fast, late night food to me. But they're on the menu at Aida's! It's Mediterranean food, go figure! And pricing for that part of the menu is on par, yet with a pretty sit down atmosphere and beer and wine selections to…More »
2. Jack Singer Concert Hall
With a name like Jack Singer, it's only appropriate that Mr. Singer should have a concert hall named after him. The Jack Singer is one of my favourite places in Calgary to take in a performance. From the orchestra to a couple of live Matt Good…More »
3. Vendome Café
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 »
4. Vogglio D'pizza
Unusual flavours, fresh pizza and three different kinds of crusts, you can't go wrong at Vogglio.
I walked in for a Friday night treat. Fernando recommended I try the Mexicana. After I agreed to order a small, he adds " you can get one more for 50%…More »
5. Wilde Grainz
Bakeries like Wilde Grainz are making me wonder how I ever shopped at grocery store bakeries. I was in today to get a mini lemon strawberry cake with my Passport to Inglewood and came out with the cake, a loaf of sourdough bread (did you know each…More »
6. Without Papers Pizza
I love it. Love love love it. You wouldn't think this spot would be nearly as awesome as it is just by walking by it. Even coming up the stairs, I didn't know I'd be walking into such a spacious room-high ceilings, wooden floor, great lighting. It…More »
7. Wild Rose Brewery
Wild Rose Brewery, how do I love thee? I'd try to the count the ways, but I'm afraid I won't ever be able to stop. From your tap room to your tours to your staff who are so obviously passionate about your product, if I'm not heading out there for a…More »

Bet you didn't know they do tours. Yep, that's right. Last Saturday, some friends and I gathered… Read more »
8. White's Flowers 1981 Limited
My five-star reviews have been getting fewer and further between lately, but my recent visit into White's has me digging this flower shop up on 16th Ave.
As part of my walk through the neighbourhood while waiting for my car to have its oil change, I…More »
9. 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 »

Oh Vin Room, how have I lived all of this time without having tasted your eggplant chips? Those… Read more »
10. Rasoi Kitchen
I was hunting for someplace a bit "different" to take a friend for a belated birthday supper. Natasha K's review of Rasoi convinced me that this place was worth a shot. Indian fusion sounded like it had just enough of a twist.
Monday night turned out…More »
11. Unlimited Blue
Forever in blue jeans. I've found my new favourite denim store. And wouldn't you know it? It's been around for 14 years! I can't say I didn't know about it, in fact, a couple of springs ago when one of my cousins came to visit, I do believe she told…More »
12. Red's Diner
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 »
13. Thai Bistro
Yowzah! That curry's spicy! Thankfully, it wasn't mine. Just a nibble from Jan L's dish. Good thing humans can't actually breath fire.
Instead, I had myself some Pad Ped with chicken (stir fry w/ red curry paste, galanga, onion, bamboo shoot, pepper,…More »
14. Thanh Long Noodle House
Alright, my server alone gets 5 stars. She was adorable!! Always attentive, and just a wee bit quirky making jokes and the like. Like with one of the other tables in the restaurant, a lady and her friend had settled in at a table near the window and…More »
15. The Big Cheese
You've seen the sign, you've peeked through the window. You've asked time and time again "When is the Big Cheese going to open?" Well my friends, I have an answer for you. Today! And it's a hot little spot.
It's in the same place as the old Nellie's,…More »
16. The Camera Store
I know about as much about cameras and photography as Cookie Monster knows about broccoli. Okay, I'm not quite that bad! When you say words like "aperture" I have a vague idea of what you're talking about. But beyond playing with some of the big kid…More »
17. Mango Shiva
Cheers all around for Mango Shiva and their Friday afternoon "Ladies' Social" special from 1-5. If you're a lady in need of a cocktail on a sunny Friday, find yourself a seat on Mango Shiva's patio and take your pick for 50% off their cocktail list.
I…More »
18. Lantern Community Church
Five stars for a church? Oh yes. Make no mistake, this review is not of any particular activities that happen within the walls of this community church, but of the space itself. It's fabulous!
I attended Pecha Kucha Night #7: Love with a great many…More »
19. Seniore's Pizza
Om nom nom nom nom! P is for pizza, it's good enough for me. Like Cookie Monster's love of cookies, I am fast developing an even deeper love of all things pizza (and must remind myself that pizza is a "sometimes food").
Might I say, this pizza spot is…More »
20. Kawa Espresso Bar
Are you Kawa, like "KA-WAH"? Or are you Kawa, like "KA-VAH"? I keep hearing both and I'm not sure which one to use. Do you know?
My first introduction to Kawa's was sometime last year. And I've been back intermittently since. Not because there's…More »
21. Rustic Sourdough Bakery
Are you ready for a sandwich like no other? One with real deli meats, cheeses and fresh veggies... custom made to order and only for $7? If so, it's time you head on over to Rustic. The deli counter is to your left.
I ordered a spicy salami sandwich…More »

22. Steeling Home
Steeling Home has stolen my heart as the store I cannot pass by without a little look around the shop.
I was introduced to it but a mere few weeks ago when a friend and I were seeking some goods for a geocache. We poked our heads into this store and I…More »
23. Rush Dining Room
Wow. Rush is swank! The service, the food, the decor... it's top-notch. The exterior of Rush is unassuming. The silver letters used against the white walls of the building are easy to miss if you're not looking for them. Guys, if you want to impress…More »
24. Koryo Korean Barbeque
Two words: Manic Mondays.
I wandered into Century Plaza after coming across a couple of highly rated food court spots. 5-star food court experiences tend to pique my interest.
My nose sniffed out Koryo BBQ before my eyes noticed it in the back corner…More »
25. Midori Japanese Cafe
I've been learning to like sushi, but Midori might very well have me falling in love with it if I keep spoiling my tastebuds with the sushi-tastic rolls and dishes I found here.
With limited seating available, the best choice for Midori Sushi is to…More »
26. Thi Thi Vietnamese Subs
When I look back, waaaaay back to when I first moved to this city, I had no idea what Vietnamese sub was. Why would a small town Alberta girl know such a thing? One day, one of my coworkers asked me if I wanted to go for a Vietnamese sub. "A what?" I…More »
27. The Wine Shop
A good wine shop is becoming easier to find in Calgary. As one who is very much still an elementary student in the world of wines, this makes me very happy. The extra education and recommendations from shop owners make me want to keep learning more…More »
28. The Twisted Element
That was fun! Let's do it again. Do what again? Why head in for the drag show on a Sunday night only to find out there's also karaoke in the basement before hand.
I had never been to Twisted Element, nor had I experienced a drag show outside of…More »
29. Metrovino
You won't find anyone who knows wines as well as Richard at Metrovino... okay maybe you will, but I haven't and he helped me pick out an "off-dry" German riesling (one might think that would make it slightly moist, but actually it's slightly sweet).
…More »
30. Laurier Lounge
The Laurier Lounge can be easy to miss if you don't know it's there. Hidden in behind Safeway, the old Stanley House (where George Stanley-from whom the design for the Canadian flag originated-grew up) is now home to a restaurant with a French accent…More »
31. Kwanzaa Coffee House
Oh. My. God. That chicken shawarma was so huge I needed a forklift just to get it upto my mouth. Seriously, it came with its own fork (photo - http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
I never would've known about Kwanzaa had it not been for Yelp. It's tucked away…More »
32. Lunchbox Theatre
FTR! (First to Review).
Are you tired of the same-old same-old when it comes to what you do on your lunch break? Enter Lunchbox Theatre, a curiously compact cultural calling. Running Monday-Saturday, shows start at 12:10 and run about 50 minutes. If…More »
33. Kinjo Sushi
Andre, you totally made this a five-star night.
Andre is the name of the staff member who came along halfway through our meal with some packages of Pocky and got my best friend to tell me what a wonderful friend I am! A few minutes before, he lead…More »
34. Big Al's Aquarium Supercentre
I got it in my head yesterday that it was time for a pet. Being that I live in a building that doesn't allow for anything cute and cuddly, that pretty much leaves me with things that are small and unlikely to escape into the building.
Over the years,…More »
35. Jelly Modern Doughnuts
Move over cupcakes! There's a new nut in town... a doughy one at that.
Jelly Modern Doughnuts is a new take on an old treat in C-town. Gourmet doughnuts that you just aren't going to find elsewhere. S'more, carrot cake, red velvet, raspberry, peanut…More »
36. 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 »
37. Jonas Restaurant & Bar
Szia yelpers! Hogy vagy?
I learnt that from the back of the drink menu at Jonas over lunch today. I'll let you go check it out to find out what the words mean.
I love love LOVE Jonas! Twas my first time visiting them today at lunch. It's tiny, it's…More »
38. Blink Restaurant & Bar
Blink looks narrow and long from the outside. From the inside, though it is still much longer than it is wide, it's not as small as I initially thought.
Blink has impressed me from the get go. I made a reservation through Open Table. The day of, Blink…More »
39. 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 »

40. Heidelberg Haus Restaurant
The best place to go for a German home cooked meal in the NE is the Heidelberg Haus.
This spot is open to the public for a buffet lunch. If you've never been, you need to go. Nevermind that it's in the same parking lot as Hooters.
Every time I've been…More »
