1. 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 »
2. West Restaurant and Bar
There's more to West than meet's the eye. From lunch to dinner, meeting space to club space, West has a variety of different spaces that can be transformed to meet just about any need.
The food at West is pretty tasty, and as Angela M discovered,…More »
3. Home Tasting Room
Calgary, AB T2P 1B3
(403) 262-8100
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas Bars,
Canadian (New)
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 »

4. Epiphanie Chocolate
Forgive me yelpers, for I have sinned. My name is Wendy and I'm a choco-holic. It has been twelve minutes since I last ate a piece of delicious handcrafted chocolate from Epiphanie.
I remember a time when Epiphanie didn't exist in the lovely little…More »
5. Alloy
Don't blink or you might miss this place. Seriously, it's tucked away off of Macleod Trail, behind a hotel and in the middle of an industrial area. The inside does not match the outside. It's so much better :).
I was here for lunch, and what a treat.…More »
6. Globefish Sushi & Izakaya
I headed to the new Globefish location in Chinook Centre tonight for a friend's birthday dinner. I'm happy they already had the table when I got there, as there was a line at the front door of people waiting to be seated and not a lot of room in…More »
7. Charcut Roast House
Once upon a time, there was this hot new ticket in town. Charcut. My first visit was in December of 2010. Then in January of 2011, there was this explosion of something called an Alley Burger. We lined up by Charcut's back kitchen door for $5…More »

Some of my friends kept putting a French spin on the name of this place. "Char-coot". But when we… Read more »
8. Tenshi Sushi
If there were a word like quaint, but that incorporated good food and nice decor with being small rather than just being cute with being small, that would be the word to use for Tenshi.
I was here with a group of 5 and we took up half the…More »
9. Boxwood Rotisserie Cafe
Boxwood gets its four stars from the fact that they source their ingredients locally, they've got an amazing location on the edge of Memorial Park, their staff is friendly and welcoming and they filter their own water.
I stopped in for lunch on a very…More »
10. 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 »
11. 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 »
12. 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 »
13. Yuk Yuk's Calgary -
Yuk Yuk's is hidden away on the 2nd floor of the Elbow River Casino. I've had a couple of occasions to visit it recently, and I daresay, I'm going to be frequenting this comedy club a little more often. I've been to a couple of the other comedy shops…More »
14. Art Central
Trendy, with it, enticing, alluring, there are too many words to describe what you'll find. Three floors of awesome, that's what Art Central is. Best time to go, the first Thursday of every month. In fact, that's the best time to hit up any place in…More »
15. The Living Room Restaurant
I have three words for you. Watermelon Caprese Salad. And two more. Cheese Fondue. Then one more. OMG.
I had only ever been to The Living Room before for cocktails and wine. This time, it was the latter, but also food. It was not a cheap evening, but…More »
16. Fish Creek Provincial Park
Fish Creek Park is a beautiful area. It always surprises me how big it is! And who knew there were day-use picnic areas to reserve? Not this kid, at least not until last weekend.
The park is full of paths and is well used by cyclists, walkers,…More »
17. Cassis Bistro
Attached to Market 17, Cassis Bistro is the restaurant portion of the Casel development on the corner of 17th Ave and 24th St. I had initially popped in last Friday to try it out, but alas, it was closed for a private function. My next opportunity…More »
18. Sandy Beach Park
Once upon a time when I would hear people mention Sandy Beach, I thought it was somewhere outside of the city, mostly because the references I heard were for rafting (the drifting kind, not the white water kind). People said it was one of the best…More »
19. 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 »

20. 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 »
21. Design District Urban Tavern
Another Yelp Eats night, another restaurant! Wednesday night found me at the District (admittedly, it was my second visit this week). In past visits, my food choices generally revolved around pub food and appys. District is a great place to hang out,…More »

22. 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 »
23. Raw Bar
I've had a couple of cocktails and the odd appy at Raw Bar, but last night was my first full dinner. I was surprised it wasn't a little busier. Maybe everyone else was enjoying their cocktails poolside. What, wait? Poolside? Yes, one of the charms of…More »
24. Brava Bistro
When four people head out for dinner, it's inevitable that three of them may have a four star experience and one of them comes out feeling like their visit was a three star. I'm the "one of them" in this story, or rather in this short anecdote.
A reso…More »
25. 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 »

26. 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 »
27. 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 »
28. 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 »

29. 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 »

30. Telus Spark
Telus Spark. I came to visit you for your first adult only night. This, frankly, is a great idea. I can't wait to experience more of you with no minors around (especially since I don't have any of my own).
What I'm fond of:
- Your music and animation…More »
31. Milk Tiger Lounge
Milk Tiger, you rock my cocktail world. And you rocked my best friend's gluten-free world too. She was so very excited to be able to eat an actual grilled cheese sandwich again! And not only that, it was a fancy grill cheese sandwich with pesto and…More »
32. Anju Restaurant & Lounge
There's a little place tucked away downtown, over on 10th St between 4th and 5th Ave. It's a little place you may not have been to yet and so they don't know your name... but it's the kind of place that you'll step foot into once. You'll love. And…More »
