1. 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 »
2. 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 »
3. 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 »
4. 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 »
5. 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 »
6. 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 »

7. Yuk Yuk's Calgary -
Yuk Yuk's is hidden away on the 2nd floor of the Elbow River Casino. I've had a couple of occasions to visit it recently, and I daresay, I'm going to be frequenting this comedy club a little more often. I've been to a couple of the other comedy shops…More »
8. The Living Room Restaurant
I have three words for you. Watermelon Caprese Salad. And two more. Cheese Fondue. Then one more. OMG.
I had only ever been to The Living Room before for cocktails and wine. This time, it was the latter, but also food. It was not a cheap evening, but…More »
9. Big Four Building
What's there to say about the Big Four building? Well, it's good for tradeshows. I've been both an attendee and an exhibitor here for shows like the Global Petroleum Show and Calgary's International Beerfest.
The upstairs and downstairs halls are…More »
10. 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 »
11. Crêpes & Cravings

Categories:
Creperies,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
After the Red Mile Creamery closed, I was sad that there wasn't an ice cream shop nearby. But alas! Crepes & Cravings has opened up two doors down. I stopped in for some gelato during my long, hot walk down to the Stampede Grounds on Sunday. It's a…More »
12. Los Chilitos Taco and Tequilla House
Los Chilitos is cute. It's a touristy looking Mexican joint, inside a bright yellow building the size of a house on 17th Ave. I've always envied the patio, but haven't yet had occasion to sit on it.
I stopped in on Wednesday night for some late night…More »
13. Local 510
I've become a fan of Local 510. My previous experience was sometime last year, on a Saturday night. It was alright, but it wasn't my favourite. Although, most busy, crowded places on a Saturday night aren't my favourite. I'm big on conversation while…More »

14. Thanh Long Noodle House
Alright, my server alone gets 5 stars. She was adorable!! Always attentive, and just a wee bit quirky making jokes and the like. Like with one of the other tables in the restaurant, a lady and her friend had settled in at a table near the window and…More »
15. O-Shima
Let's get ready to rawk some rolls! The fact that Oshima's sign is so weathered looking made me think I was in for a bit of an old dive as far as sushi joints go. I'm thankful that wasn't the case!
I walked through the front door (there's one in the…More »
16. Ox & Angela
What was once the dark wooded Bungalow is now a bright and airy upscale half resto/half bar. I've heard good things about Ox & Angela to date and decided to take Don B to this new spot while he was up visiting from Portland.
The highlights:
The…More »
17. Brava Bistro
When four people head out for dinner, it's inevitable that three of them may have a four star experience and one of them comes out feeling like their visit was a three star. I'm the "one of them" in this story, or rather in this short anecdote.
A reso…More »
18. Sammys
Sammys!! I lub you... My late night Friday donair was mad packed with lamb and lettuce and all the other wonderful veggies ripe for the eating. Oh, and smothered in a combination of garlic and tzatziki sauce. You were made to order right in front of…More »

19. Spy City
When I think of Spy City, I conjure up images of night goggles and hidden cameras and other doodads and whatchyamecallits that you typically only see on TV.
What it really is is all of those things, but with real world application. Suspect your…More »
20. Morgan's Pub
After reading the reviews and hearing about Morgan's from the friends I was with, this was not the Morgan's I was expecting.
It was Monday night with a DJ, a drum kit, go go dancers, a $3 cover and $1 six ounce glasses of Alberta Genuine Draft. The…More »
21. CRMR at home
Have you ever had curried apple, butternut squash soup? Me neither until today. I picked it up at CRMR yesterday afternoon after a sign outside reading "daily soups" lured me inside. The soup was but one of a range of products I found. There were…More »
22. Model Milk
If you're wondering why this place is called Model Milk, it's because it's in an old milk factory. Although I never experienced it as a place of milk, I think I like it better as a resto.
It's got an extensive wine list, some yummy cocktails (if you…More »
23. Wild Wing
Wild Wing, did I really? Yeah I did! If you haven't figured it out on your own, it's a wing place. Wings, wings and more... you guessed it, wings! Traditional, boneless or naked, you'll find oodles of flavours. Being the blonde haired, blue eyed…More »
24. Borgo Trattoria
Borgo... finally we meet for a meal! You've been on my list forever and ever, okay, well forever since you opened anyway. A Friday lunch turned out to be the magical moment of our first meeting.
I loved that my fave server from days gone by at…More »
25. Buon Giorno Ristorante Italiano
Well hello Buon Giorno. Fancy meeting you for my birthday supper.
I remember Buon Giorno's from way back, like, way back before I ever moved to Calgary. I'm pretty sure we came here for dinner with my aunt and my cousin. It must've been good, because…More »
26. Earth Gems
I like big rocks and I cannot lie,
You other Earthlings can't deny,
That when a gem shines bright with just an itty bitty light
And crystal formations in your sight
You get ...
Ok, enough Sir Mix-a-lot. Today was my first go of Earth Gems. It's over on…More »
27. Sugar Cube Gallery
I've walked by this window before and wondered what was going on here. It doesn't seem to belong to anyone or really lead you anywhere. And yet sometimes there are things on display in it. WTF?
Turns out, it's a gallery. Perhaps Calgary's smallest…More »
