I am a huge fan of Mandarin Restaurant! A quiet, family-owned place (adorable toddlers and all) that has a menu bursting at the seams with flavourful Chinese fare.
Two friends and I picked the "Dinner for Three" option - three full entrees of our…More »
Lotus Soul is conveniently located on Whyte Avenue, which makes it a quick bike or bus ride away from the university area. The space is very clean and modern, designed with a very attractive minimalist aesthetic. Lotus Soul also has a handy and cheap…More »
Possibly my favourite coffee shop in the city. Big selection of baked goods - scones, muffins, cookies - that aren't necessarily good for you, but good to eat! Take your coffee and treat to the table of your choice, too. It's usually busy, but it's…More »
A pretty standard sports bar kind of place. It's a small-ish bar, but has the kind of atmosphere that encourages standing and mingling, so it works out OK.
The beer is always flowing here with the younger crowd of university-types. Other drinks are…More »
Pub 1905 is what it is. An ultra-casual (and I'm not using that term loosely, like more dive bar than anything) place for drinks after work downtown with your buddies, maybe play a round or two on the pool table.
The food was better than I expected…More »
Walk in here knowing what you're getting yourself into, and you're going to have a hell of a night.
It doesn't matter if you're a college student out for post-exam libations or part an older pack, just here for the pool tables and slot machines.
The…More »
I have so many fond memories of Cram Dunk. Actually, the circumstances of said memories are usually not so fond. Staying overnight in SUB to write a paper or study for finals...that was when I needed Cram Dunk the most.
The donuts and pastries are…More »
I seriously love Chicago Deep Dish, and maybe it's because I only ever eat it when I'm craving some seriously greasy pizza, but if that's what you're looking for, it's good stuff.
You know what you're getting at this dive-y little spot just off Whyte.…More »
This spot is kind of run down, but on a hot summer night when I lived in Garneau, there was nowhere I would have rather been for a pizza and cold beer on the patio. (Well, that's not entirely true, but it wasn't so bad.)
It's a pub at heart, but the…More »
I've only ever tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap at BAJ because it's the one thing on the menu that consistently appeals to me. Visiting this location last night was my first time in a BAJ in a couple of years, and I seem to remember there being way more…More »
Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, but I can't give anything less than five stars to Room At The Top.
Before its renovation, it was a typical campus pub with a little somethin' something' extra - an amazing nearly-360-degrees view of the city. Now…More »
After about 5 hours on the road from Calgary (which included a pit stop to our puppy breeder friends, which, let's be honest, was a pretty big part of the trip), we needed food really, really badly. And gas. Next stop: Olds! We figured there had to…More »
I think this might be my favourite quick eats spot in the city. I find myself eating on the go pretty frequently and I love that this place isn't part of a massive chain. I also love any kind of Asian flavours, plus the part where it's made exactly…More »
I'm kind of a gym rat, but usually in a I-won't-walk-further-than-to-t he-gym-in-my-apartment-complex kind of way. This is only the second gym I've had a membership to in my lifetime but so far, I'm very satisfied.
It's a little bit intimidating when…More »

I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather being what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food,…More »
The first thing you need to know about The Nest, which is awesome, is that it's not just a student bar. No student ID? No problem. This place is open to the public. Very cool, especially because this place isn't just a bar, but a popular concert…More »
I don't know if I've ever had a normal experience at this Tim's. I've been here twice. Once on Halloween (so you can imagine, of course, that there was quite a cast of characters) and then again the other night. It was around midnight and I was full…More »
A quick review for a quick visit! I haven't spent more than a few minutes here on any given visit, but why would I need to? It's a very handy location, right downtown. I spend quite a bit of time downtown and often find myself low on gas, so this…More »
If you love well made and super cute active wear but you're looking to spend your dollars at a (much) smaller company than Lululemon, say hello to your new favourite store, fit girl: OneTooth!
My favourite thing they carry here is work-out bottoms.…More »
Loooooved it. Loved. It.
I was expecting lunch, but was pleasantly surprised when they were still on the brunch menu on Saturday at noon. Brunch is my favourite meal, so naturally this put me into a fantastic mood.
Our server was one very cool chick. I…More »
