Places to go in Kensington
See All Lists
1. The House Coffee & Sanctuary
The House Coffee & Sanctuary definitely has character. With a host of events posted on their wall (like open mic nights on Thursdays), I prefer this spot to other coffee houses in Kensington because they're attempting to be more than a coffee house.…More »
2. Molly Malone's Irish Pub
The more time I spend at Molly's, the more I like it... the best time to experience Molly's is during non-peak hours (in other words, not on a Friday or Saturday night). That's when I really like the vibe.
There are a couple of rooms near the back…More »

"This meal is so big, it would feed a condor," one of my pub mates noted as his plate of fish and… Read more »
3. 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 »
4. Joints
I was at a holiday party and a necklace that one of the other guests was wearing caught my eye. I've been drawn to more antique looking pieces lately, and this one reminded me of an old locket. When I asked her where it was from, she said 'Joints in…More »
5. Manana Imports & Gifts
I walked into Manana on just the right day. The owner had returned with hundreds of silver rings from Thailand. And most of them are one-of-a-kind, at least in his shop.
With artifacts, gidgets, gadgets, and other pleasantries from all across the…More »
6. Maurya Authentic East Indian Cuisine
And they call the wind Maria... or Maurya in this case. Although, really, wind doesn't have anything to do with this other than blowing whiffs of spice and deliciousness in my general direction.
I've passed by Maurya many a time without acknowledging…More »
7. Red Bush Tea and Coffee Company
Tea sniffing is the latest craze (at least, it's my latest craze). It involves finding your best local tea shops, gazing in awe at the rows upon rows of teas and mixes in front of you, and then grabbing a jar, opening the lid and taking a big, deep,…More »
8. The Candy Kid
What person in their right mind doesn't want to feel like a kid again? Personally, I seize every opportunity I can to feel a rush of excitement that kids experience so easily. That includes candy stores.
Having initially had its home at the Calgary…More »
9. 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 »
10. 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 »
11. Cushy Life
Calgary, AB T2N 3P4
(403) 283-9992
Categories:
Home Decor,
Furniture Stores,
Fabric Stores
If I made enough money to be living a cushy life, you can be rest assured I'd be furnishing some of it from here! From the exterior, Cushy Life looks like a fun and modern furniture store. From the interior, it's a fun and modern furniture store with…More »
12. The Kensington Pub
The Kensington Pub has always felt a little like it's been lifted right out of a fairy tale. I half expect Hansel and Gretel to come waltzing down a nearby path, it's got that kind of cottage feel to it. The interior is cozy and welcoming, with…More »
13. Gratitude Cafe
Perhaps Gratitude Cafe has found and read their previous Yelp reviews? I stopped in here yesterday for a pot of tea and I must say, no complaints on service from me whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it's some of the best service I've ever gotten in a…More »
14. Higher Ground
Higher Ground, you've officially fed me my first entirely vegan meal. And I'm happy to admit I haven't turned into a rabbit eating anti-meat fanatic. In fact, I feel quite full and content. I swear they knew what the weather would be before they…More »
15. Brasserie Kensington
Calgary, AB T2N 3P3
(403) 457-4148
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Brasseries
Dear Brasserie... this review's been a long time coming.
Whenever someone asks me what my favourite resto in Calgary is, it's without an ounce of hesitation that I reply "Brasserie Kensington." It's an ideal mixture of great service, quality food, an…More »
16. Dairy Lane Café
It's tiny, it's cute, and it's busy even on a Monday morning. Today was my first visit to Dairy Lane. I figured a Monday would be a safe day to avoid lineups and enjoy a quieter morning meal. Though it may have been quiet by Dairy Lane's weekend…More »
17. Kensington Art Supply
Well stocked, well organized, well staffed. I was finishing a painting for my mom for Christmas and needed a few supplies to complete it. So I popped into Kensington Art Supply.
All I needed was a few brushes and some acrylic paint. It was super easy…More »
18. The Naked Leaf
Colour me impressed. Naked Leaf "has me covered" ;). I was a Naked Leaf virgin, but remembered all of the ranting and raving Sarah Louise has done for The Naked Leaf. And so today I popped in for a visit.
The shop is cute, not a spot to come, sit and…More »
