Places to go in the Beltline
See All Lists
1. Ship & Anchor Pub
Deep fried what now? Pickle. Yep, the Ship's got deep fried pickles on their menu. When I saw that, somehow I wasn't surprised. When I tasted it though, I most certainly was. Who knew I'd like deep fried pickles?
A spot known for it's variety in…More »
2. 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 »
3. 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 »
4. Niko's Pizza
Niko's has opened up where Fat Tony's used to be and it reminds me of the pizza place back in the small town I grew up in. Greasy, cheesy goodness.
Niko's has a few different pizzas on it's menu. You'll find The Classics (plain cheese, pepperoni only,…More »
5. 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 »

I always walk by the Rustic Sourdough Bakery and think "next time I need some bread, I'm so going to… Read more »
6. Thai Tai
I've gotta say, I enjoy my Thai Tai subs. My favourite sub is the Teriyaki Chicken with some cucumber, carrots and cilantro. The bun has a nice crunch to the crust. It's just the right thickness to go with the sub filling as well.
I quite enjoy the…More »
7. The Yardhouse
You know that feeling when one of your friends makes a change to their appearance in some way, whether they got a new 'do or even a new pair of glasses, and you notice something is different, but can't quite pinpoint what it is right away? That's…More »

8. 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 »
9. Ali Baba Kabob House
There's nothing like walking into a place and seeing three different kinds of meat rotating on a stick. Oh yes, Ali Baba's is one of *those* places and it's now my new favourite for shawarma (bakery counter included).
If you've ever heard me talk…More »
10. Chiasso Coffee Company
My favourite part about Chiasso has got to be their tea. The best kind? The berry breeze. Infused to perfection, served in a pretty white mug on a square white plate, I've been back to sip a cup a couple of times now.
The interior of Chiasso isn't…More »
11. Pho V K Vietnamese Cuisine
At 245 on a Saturday afternoon, Pho VK is not a busy place- which makes it an ideal spot for a late lunch (and homework spot apparently as three kids sit at other tables doing theirs).
I found a Vietnamese dish I liked awhile back, and I don't think…More »
12. Tiempo De Mexico
I was hit by the smell of incense when I walked through the door. As I ventured a bit further inside, the sound of trickling water made it's way to my ears. This store's got good energy.
It's filled with statues, fountains, artwork, notecards,…More »
13. Korean Village Restaurant
CT's right, this place has moved. I've eaten at it in both locations and I must say, the new spot is better. It's bigger and more open. You could easily fit 6-8 people in their booths.
I haven't eaten a lot of Korean food to date, so have no comment…More »
14. Community Natural Foods
Health nut/alternative food lovers, if you don't already know about Community Natural Foods, I'm not sure what rock you've managed to hide under.
If I recall correctly, Community Natural was the first grocery store in Calgary get rid of plastic bags…More »
15. LP Family Foods
*Hand raised* Sometimes, I am that person who's too lazy to head to Coop or Safeway. 10 blocks is a long way in the cold, and with LP so close, I get to be nice to the environment and leave my car in the garage! Another bonus, I certainly don't have…More »
16. 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 »
17. 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 »
18. Crush Restaurant & Lounge - CLOSED
5 stars for Crush? Hellz yeah! This place just got better after my Saturday night dinner there with my best friend's mom. She was staying with me this weekend for a course and we headed to Crush on Saturday night for something close by and still…More »

It's just a little Crush... I don't understand how Crush isn't busier. Ok, I can undertand a wee bit… Read more »
19. Opa Souvlaki Restaurant
Opa! I always want to smash a plate when I say this word, except I've never gotten to. And I still don't get to at Opa, but that hasn't spoiled the experience yet.
I love that 17th has an Opa. It keeps me out of a food court when I'm craving the lamb…More »
20. Shell Canada Products
What keeps me coming back to Shell? Well, Airmiles for one. Filling up with gas at Shell stations over the years helped me get my first acoustic guitar. I frequent this location mostly due to its proximity to me. Whenever that gas tank light has been…More »
21. Sushi Motto
So far my experience at Sushi Motto is limited to take out, but to date I'm a fan!
I popped in last Tuesday to grab some grub before hunkering down for a date with my couch. Somehow sushi seemed like a healthier way to be a couch potato. It took me…More »
22. La Casita Mexicana
I'm always up for something new, so when one of my friends suggested trying a "new Mexican place" on 17th, like a newbie poker player sitting on a royal flush, I was all in!
This spot shares a space with Wicked Chili, right down to the payment system…More »
23. Farm Restaurant
Colour me yum! I stopped in at Farm for lunch after reading some pretty rockin' reviews to date. The space itself is cozy, but cute. There's one large table at the front of the restaurant that's perfect for a large group, otherwise, a few tables of 2…More »
24. Broken City Social Club
Why am I fan of Broken City? Mostly for its quirkiness. Over the years I've been here for open mic nights, concerts, and more recently, the most random show I've yet seen... Talk Show Thursdays.
The setup of Broken City isn't always ideal, if you end…More »
25. 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 »
26. 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 »

27. Hop In Brew Pub
A little on the top... a little on the bottom. Hop In Brew continues to be a steady fave when I'm in need of a brew with some buds.
From Festivus with the yelpers in December to meetups and just popping in for a pint and some pizza, it has its own…More »

28. 10th & 10th Car Wash
Car washes aren't all that abundant downtown, so I appreciate having 10th & 10th nearby. I like that they can fit two cars at a time in each bay, although this can be an issue on a busy day and the person in front of you is taking longer to wash…More »
29. 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 »
30. 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 »
31. 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 »
32. Mikey's Juke Joint & Eatery
I drive by Mikey's every time I take 11th Ave SW to get to Crowchild. I always though it was a bit of a random spot for a pub, and each drive by was a reminder that I wanted to check it out. So when one of my friends said she'd be playing there, I…More »
33. Boca Loca Fine Mexican Foods
Boca Loca's touts itself as a grocer and fine Mexican and African food. One shelving unit of groceries a grocer does not make. As for the restaurant part, well, it's definitely quick, and my food was good... but I'm a bit on the fence about Boca…More »
34. 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 »
35. Minuteman Press
In some contexts, a minute man isn't always the most desirable. But in terms of a print shop, it's exactly that. I stopped in to get a colour poster printed and stepped out but a few minutes later. By poster, I should clarify that it was a 13"x19",…More »
36. Caffe Beano
I'm enjoying the menu at Caffe Beano. I've stopped in for coffee a couple of times already, and today I enjoyed myself an espresso chocolate milkshake and a muffin. Service has been quick and friendly.
When it's busy, the lineup area isn't exactly the…More »
37. Golden Bell Saigon
I've eaten here dozens of times, how have I missed yelping it? Nevermind, this will straighten all of that out.
Golden Bell on 17th is right next to Boston Pizza, its got a full menu of Vietnamese dishes from Pho to all the other noodley goodness in…More »
38. 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 »
39. Used - House Of Vintage
I always admire the window displays at Used whenever I walk by. It wasn't until I was out looking for vintage dresses with Sylvie C that we ventured inside.
There's a little bit of everything in this shop, men's and women's clothes, jewelry, purses…More »
40. Pizza 17
It's Sunday. It's nearly 1 am (I guess that technically makes it Monday). I want some late night food and even the donair places are closed. Where can I go that's not the nearest fast food drive through? A flashing 'open' sign in the window told me…More »
