Went there last night because I had the Dealfind voucher - and WOW!

From the minute you walk in the place, you will be AWED by the interior of the restaurant! I thought I'd walked into a fancy restaurant in Europe! SO beautiful and grand!! Soaring…More »

I dont understand why people are bashing on West. I have been there twice, and have enjoyed myself both times. The last time I was there, which was the past weekend, was a more thorough experience, as I stayed there for dinner AND the partying…More »

Oh my! Another gem found in Calgary! *high-fives self*

A friend and I went to check out the Grand Theatre Junction's "Alley Party", but seeing that it was totally dead when we went (around 6pm), we wandered over to UBU Lounge for a glass of wine. And…More »

After I first arrived in Calgary, I was desperately looking to find a chic yet casual place, where I could have cocktails or coffee, tapas or just sit and talk. I found JaroBlue!!

I revisited Vendome just to see if the Crab Eggs Benedict was available that day, as I had missed it last time. And lo and behold, they had it! I ordered, and went to my table to take a seat.

When the meal was brought to my table, and I dug in, I was…More »

Charcut is a gem in Calgary. Not only does it house our local celebrity Connie De Souza, but it is a TOP NOTCH restaurant to boot.

The first time I had gone there was during Dine Out Calgary. I was immediately impressed with the place when I walked…More »

A friend was visiting from Montreal, and her flight got here at 9:30pm. Naturally she'd be hungry when she got off the plane, so I wanted to go hit up a restaurant that was open late. And not just any restaurant - I wanted her first impression of…More »

Took my mom here for dinner when she was visiting, and this place is even better for dinner than for lunch. My mom absolutely loved it and so did I! The place was packed on a Wednesday night, so that says something - NoTable is POPULAR!
Every thing…More »

Bang fo' yo' buck! (4)

Being on a budget doesnt have to mean subjecting yourself to dreadful $2 burgers at McDs. Here are the places where you can stretch your hard-earned dollar to the max, without compromising quality, taste and self-esteem.

Indian/Bengali/PK food in the YYC (8)

Want to get your culture on? Let the culture QUEEN help you navigate through the intricate, yet delicious world of curries, samosas and biryanis!

Entertaining out-of-town visitors! (10)

These are the places to go, when you want to show off this awesome city to friends and family visiting from out of town!

Hosting a party? (7)

There comes a time in every Yelper's life where they have to choose a spot to host their big event - be it dinner, drinks or a special occasion. These are - in my opinion - the best places in Calgary to hold parties, or big gatherings!

I left my heart in Montreal (4)

If I could profess my love to a city, Montreal would be it.

Sabahat's 'Usual Suspects' (9)

I dont like going back to the same places more than once, because I am commitment-phobe. (Why settle, when there is so much new stuff to try??)
However, a few places have that something 'extra' about them that keep me coming back for more!

Gourmet Pizza in the YYC (3)

Yes, pizza can be gourmet too! And DAMN good gourmet, at that!

Cream of the Kensington Crop! (7)

Whether it is just to eat, drink or be merry, these places will never cease to please!
