Categories:

Brasseries
I love the Brasserie, I have sung it's praises to everyone I know and have visited them at least fifteen times in the last six months. I recommend them to anyone that asks for a great place to eat in Kensington, which is why it sucks to write this…More »

We made our way there yesterday… Read more »
2. La Creperie & La Delicatessen French Kitchen
I like this better than any other Creperie I have come across in Calgary. The service has always been efficient and friendly, and their crepes are wonderful. They are located in the Kingsland Farmer's Market but I believe I drove by a storefront in…More »
3. Kane's Harley Diner
What a strange and wonderful place Kane's is. I remember when it opened, I think that's the last time I visited, everything was shiny and new, it looked as though someone had blown up a Harley Logo inside mixed with the retro feel of a typical…More »
4. FATS Bar & Grill
I rarely eat in at FATS however it always seems clean and friendly inside, it's more of a sports pub which does not appeal to me at all however my husband and I frequent it on a weekly basis for takeout.
The burgers are absolutely delicious and they…More »
5. La Viena
I had a great meal there the other night. I chose some kind of seafood skillet thing (can't type or pronounce). It was really delicious though it came without the promised mussels as they were all out. The service was pretty unfriendly; she barely…More »
6. Chuckwagon Cafe
Worth the drive, seriously! Listen to me. Drive to the Millarville Farmers Market and then have breakfast/lunch at the Chuckwagon Cafe. I had a breakfast burrito here that was life altering. They know how to use simple, basic breakfast ingredients…More »
7. Lina's Italian Market
Calgary, AB T2E 2T5

Categories:

Coffee & Tea
Lina's is a bustling Italian institution in Calgary. It's been around for years and should be your first stop for a traditional Italian grocery shop. I would take Lina's over 10 Mercato's any day. It is affordable and delicious. I like to make an…More »
8. Chicken-On-The-Way
Best fried chicken in the city. My husband and I rode our bikes there in an attempt to negate what we both new would happen after ordering. The chicken is farm fresh, relies on it's own incredible flavour instead of tasting lack mass produced, creepy…More »

Chicken on the Way, I have one word for you. Chickorgasm!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, how could people give… Read more »
9. Tandoori Hut
Tandoori Hut is delicious. So much so I crave it on an almost weekly basis. I am only a recent Indian food convert so I can admit I don't have much to compare it too but I really enjoy eating here, in or out. I am addicted to their Palak Paneer…More »
10. Tubby Dog
I agree with every 4 to 5 star review posted here. I love Tubby Dog, not only because the hot dogs are delicious, and hilarious and made with care, also because the environment you eat your hot dogs is so great. There is always a great old movie or…More »
11. UNA pizza + wine
UNA is exceptional! I have had five meals there since it opened and they have been consistently delicious. I also love the busy and exciting atmosphere, it's not the place to go if you are looking for intimate conversation, it's a place to go and…More »
12. Grey Eagle Casino & Bingo
I don't care about gambling but I care deeply about buffets. We took my boyfriend's mom here to do a little gambling and she enjoyed herself (won $500). We partook in the Chinese buffet which was literally lined up to the entrance. For $19.99 the…More »
13. The Dog & Duck Public House
I had the pleasure of visiting this pub for a friend's birthday last night. She happens to be British so naturally there were a lot of Brits in attendance and all of them claimed this was the closest to an authentic British pub they had found in…More »
14. Aida's Mediterranean Bistro
The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Aida's is always my first choice when entertaining people from out of town and in town. The food has been consistently delicious since the day Aida opened her door. I noticed there were some comments about this…More »
15. Try Again Beverage's House
Try again is the best Bubble Tea in Calgary. Hands down. It's run by a mother, father and two daughters who provide consistently great service and bubble tea. All I need to do when I walk in is make eye contact with them and I have my order in my…More »
16. Red Fish Blue Fish
Shrimp tacones delicious!
Coleslaw DELICIOUS!
French Fries....ok.
45 minute lineup, absurd.
It's not that amazing, but people are sheep and will flock to other sheep (like we did...baaaaahhh).
If there is no line, pay a visit, I think you can also call…More »
17. Jelly Modern Doughnuts
You can tell a lot about a business based on how they handle their mistakes. Both times I have placed a bulk order from Modern Jelly Doughnuts there has been a slight hiccup in the order process.
This time I ordered half a dozen doughnuts through the…More »

18. Farm Restaurant
I LOVE FARM. I think it is a cozy restaurant, I have never had to wait long and the food is always exceptional. I have eaten several different ways there, sometimes sharing appetizers, entrees or salads. I always enjoy the charcuterie and rarely skip…More »
19. Caffe Beano
For me Beano is the most vibrant, exciting coffee shop in town. I am surprised by all the negative comments here! Sure the staff can be a little surly at time but they deal with a massive amount of people throughout the day and I personally don't…More »

The Danish Canadian club is seriously a treasure in Calgary! My grandfather was Danish and I remember many a visit with him to the old deli the DCC used to run in addition to the club. It is long gone but the DCC still stands tall. My father took me…More »
21. Thomsons Restaurant
The brunch here is to die for!! It's 28.00 per person but worth every penny. This morning we drove there and parked in the underground parkade of the Hyatt (which costs a flat rate $25.00 but the restaurant will validate your parking and you can park…More »
