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 »

2. 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 »

How have I lived in Calgary for nearly 6 years and not been to the museum? Shame on me for not going… Read more »
3. 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 »
4. Caffe Rosso
I have an occasional weekend love affair with Caffe Rosso in Ramsay. We sit together early in the morning, sipping coffee or tea and eating muffins. In those early hours, we have our privacy
I knew Caffe Rosso had a twin somewhere out there, I didn't…More »
5. Below Deck
Who needs a flight to Nova Scotia when you can find a piece of it right here in Calgary? I was walking along Stephen Ave when I saw a big sign "Below Deck now open" on the sidewalk. I looked in the direction of where the sign was pointing and saw a…More »

Canadian (New)
I've been to Flames Central on a few different occasions throughout my years in Calgary. Hockey games, concerts, pre-drinks for other events... and I must say, I'm pleased.
The layout is wonderful, with the stage at the front, some seating on the…More »
7. Wannawafel
Didn't know you could review your favourite Calgary street vendors, did ya?
I do believe I got the first waffle of the day. Fresh, hot and just crispy enough, this is street food I can get on board with. At $4 even, I grabbed this tasty morsel to go…More »
8. Kanata Trading Post
If we want to change the way tourists see our city, souvenir shops seems like a pretty obvious place to start. I don't know about you, but I don't tend to frequent the touristy shops all that much. I mean, how many of us actually have totem poles in…More »
9. Falafel King
Oh me oh my, you are not quite what I was expecting when I walked through your front door Falafel King. You're way too clean, too orderly, too spacious. And those are bad things? Well, let's just say it takes away from the hole-in-the-wall concept I…More »
10. Insomnia Coffee Company
Tucked into the corner of the EPCOR Centre, and right across from City Hall, you'll find a little coffee shop called Insomnia. With nice big windows on two sides, a cozy number of tables, and a coffee and food offering adequate for a mid-morning or…More »
11. Mango Shiva
Cheers all around for Mango Shiva and their Friday afternoon "Ladies' Social" special from 1-5. If you're a lady in need of a cocktail on a sunny Friday, find yourself a seat on Mango Shiva's patio and take your pick for 50% off their cocktail list.
I…More »
12. Libertine Public House
If I had stayed at a table on my recent late afternoon/early evening visit to The Libertine, I'm not sure that they would've received a 4 star rating. I walked in and asked on of the servers if I should just seat myself "Yeah, sure," came the reply…More »
13. The Conversation
Downtown Calgary is full of sculptures. "The Conversation" was created in 1981 by William Hodd McElcheran. You'll find a series of these bronze sculptures across three continents.
These guys in particular amuse me. Plump fellows with old-school hats,…More »
14. Mechanical Horse
Mechanical parts and other scraps. Who knew you could make a horse out of that? The mechanical horse is just off Stephen Ave. And it's a piece that makes just about every person stop to take a look at it. It certainly is unusual... and life size! If…More »
