1. The Coup
After attending The Coup way too much in the past couple of weeks I feel the need to update my love.
When we went to The Coup following my convocation, we received lovely service as always. My little brother is a dear, and when I was in the washroom,…More »

2. Higher Ground
I am updating my review in order to reflect upon my experience at Higher Ground's Global Vegetarian Night this past Wednesday!
I attended with Tiffany, Wendy, and Danielle, lovely company. Tiff has already listed the menu on her review but I feel…More »

3. Pita Basket Cafe
I have to revoke my previous statements about Pita Basket being awesome. Lately, when I find myself in the Northeast, I shudder at the thought of stopping over at Pita Basket as it seems as of late the employees MICROWAVE THE FALAFEL and this makes…More »

Being vegan for years, I have come to find falafel a staple food if I want something quick, but also… Read more »
4. Lund's Certified Organic Vegetable Farm
I love Lund's produce with all of my vegetable filled heart. With their Alberta farm located just northwest of Innisfail, Lund's seems to focus on produce that actually coincides with the Alberta seasons, which means that their product is always…More »
5. Pita Grill
After hearing lovely things about Pita Grill from Tiffany N., and considering its proximity to my workplace, I ventured off to Pita Grill on my lunch break yesterday, for some rainy day falafel.
I have to first say, that this was a very strange trek…More »
6. Wild Rose Brewery
I finally got around to actually staying in at Wild Rose, as opposed to popping by for a six pack when in the area.
Last night I ended up at Wild Rose for dinner with a pal around 7. It was bustling and friendly and warm, but not so busy that we…More »

7. Dairy Lane Café
Love this place! So tiny and adorable, but I believe that it's long line ups are a good indication of how delicious it's breakfast is. I will occasionally hop over to Dairy Lane with my Dad, or my coffee loving friend who adores that they actually…More »
8. Kaffir Lime Indonesia Grill
Kaffir Lime is wonderful! I visited here and spoke with the very friendly staff about my "restrictions" as a vegan. It turned out that day there happened to be two vegan options we could have; the Gado-Gado plate Tiffany spoke of, as well as a noodle…More »
9. Boxwood Rotisserie Cafe
I had my first dinner experience at Boxwood with pals over the weekend. I was very charmed upon arriving. Showing up early, I took in the breathtakingly brisk late October evening, sitting on a bench outside, facing the fountains of Memorial Park.…More »
10. Primal Soup Company
Last Friday, I paid a visit to the Kingsland Farmer's Market to grab some lunch, so that Angelo T. and I could plan YELPFESTIVUS (YELPSTIVUS?!) times.
Friday was like the coldest ever, and my bones and I were shaking about, looking for something to…More »
11. Cafe Koi
cute restaurant.
veggielicious mondays are my favourite kind of mondays. koi has a page on their menu of just vegetarian things (and the friendly staff are usually quite aware of what is vegan or what can be altered). on mondays, the veggie entrees…More »
12. Open Sesame
Headed over to Open Sesame tonight with my roommate for the first time in awhile.
In the past, Open Sesame has always been a safe place of mine, because I can bring my omnivore friends/family along and I am not limited as a vegan, with their "Go Stir…More »
13. 100 Tops Supermarket
I love 100 Tops Supermarket for when I am feeling like a misanthrope (almost always) and don't want to navigate myself through the crowded, gigantic T&T Supermarkets, nor do I want to trek on over to Chinatown and take my chances at some of the…More »
14. Good Fortune Vegetarian House
Wow, I am amazed by Good Fortune's progress within the last month and a half. Today my little brother and I decided we would give take out at this place another chance, and I am very glad we did.
First of all, the host (and I'm assuming owner) of…More »

15. Grand Vatica
My good science. I just had the best East Indian takeout I have ever had in Calgary. I used to live up the street from Grand Vatica, and had never tried it, so decided to when I realized my eating compadres had never tried this cuisine! I went in and…More »
16. Maurya Authentic East Indian Cuisine
My good science. I really need to stop lurking on East Indian restaurants all the time. Every time I try a new one, it becomes another favourite. This has been the case with Maurya as well.
I have never felt inclined to step into this restaurant, as…More »
17. Ming
Some friends and I headed over to Ming last night, after having a good time at last month's Yelp Elite event. We thought it'd be pretty busy on a Saturday night, but we actually had no problem finding a prime table, situated right next to a framed…More »
18. Pho So 1
I absolutely adore Pho So 1 and I am pretty sure that the only reason I hadn't previously left a review was because I didn't even know what it was actually called until today.
Probably my favourite things at this little place is the 16V, a huuuuuge…More »
19. Buddha's Veggie Restaurant
To Buddha's Veggie:
You used to be super rad and I used to go to you on special occasions (you are pricey compared to other vegan chinese 'round town) such as my birthday when I was still in junior high and high school and living in rural Alberta and…More »

I love this place, and you must go.
I used to work at a teahouse across the street from Peppino's before it closed down, and I liiiived for the days I would walk over from the train after class and grab a Peppino's sub before heading over to work. I…More »
21. Southern Spice
I'm so happy someone else just reviewed this place so I could remember that I HAVE BEEN TO SOUTHERN SPICE TOO, and now I can remind myself to go again.
This place is located in the deep Northeast, and I would have never found this coincidentally. My…More »
22. Community Natural Foods
The cafe inside Community Natural Foods, now called Community Cafe, got a major facelift over the summer, and as of this autumn has been fully operating again. It looks really sleek, but everything new lately is reminding me of the pseudo rustic new…More »

Calgary, AB T2E 3N7
(403) 233-2771
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches,
Mediterranean
Just wanted to reiterate how much I love Cedars deli, and that's pretty much all. Yesterday I was in grabbing a couple of falafel wraps, and there were some obnoxious gentleman in front of me who obviously had never tried Mediterranean eats before.…More »

24. Mirchi Restaurant
After a stressful week, with plans to spending
Friday night in writing essays, I decided take out would be absolutely necessary. Having read several pleasant reviews on Yelp, I decided
I'd try mirchi.
Upon calling in my order, I engaged in extensive…More »
25. Kimanh Vietnamese Submarines
Why haven't I reviewed Kimanh yet?! I adore this little place.
I would have to agree with Juliet B in that I don't understand why anyone would choose to go across the street when Kim Anh is right here.
Whenever I am craving a Vietnamese Sub, Kimanh…More »
26. Eat! Eat!
I haven't been here in awhile, but it's a pretty cute little place. A friend and I were in Inglewood lurking about the antique shops and giant record store when hunger struck us. I'm actually kind of scared of most of the eats in Inglewood save for…More »
27. Boogies Burgers
I lived in Bridgeland for about 8 months, and never once got the chance to visit Boogie's. It was always something that I meant to do, but I was never convinced enough to make it a top priority. Just a week or two ago, I found myself in the area…More »
28. communitea cafe
I have a soft spot for visits to Canmore, and Communitea is a spot I love taking my friends and family along to. The food is delicious, and caters well to vegans. I have never had a terrible pot of tea here, although I usually have to press my leaves…More »
29. The House Coffee & Sanctuary
First, let me just say that I love the whole philosophy of the House.
I forgot that I liked the House, until the other day I stopped in with a friend for lunch. Recently undergoing a pumpkin obsession, I jumped at the chance to try the Pumpkin Chai…More »
30. Sushi Club K'z
Tried this lovely place last night, after Tenshi on 10th street was too busy. I am glad I got to try Sushi Club.
As a vegan, my choices at a sushi restaurant are often limited. In fact, when one of my friends invited me out for sushi, the other who…More »
31. Oolong Tea House
I do not necessarily visit Oolong Tea House just for the tea. The quality of the tea is definitely surpassed by other shops in the area, and their loose leaf offerings, while a large selection, can be found in other teashops as well. However, Oolong…More »
32. Tubby Dog
Tubby Dog has a rad little thing goin' on for them. I, unlike many people, have never been to this place drunk. Nope, it may be hard to believe, what with all the buzz 'round these parts about those there crazy hot dogs, hearing about friends of your…More »
33. Kol3
This restaurant just opened up around the corner from my work. While I had encountered the very friendly staff, in our shop, I was hesitant to give them a visit because as a vegan, I am generally wary of the hidden fish sauce and so forth in…More »
34. Heartland Cafe
While living in Bridgeland, I was never too big on this shop as they carried only bagged tea, and hadn't yet moved into the 21st Century with a wireless internet connection.
However, I stopped by this week and it seems they have at least resolved the…More »
35. White Oak Restaurant
I miss the White Oak that I used to know; the language barrier between myself and the friendly couple who owned it, managing still to remember myself and various friends or family that I would bring along...the tasty vegan dry ribs, dumplings, and…More »
36. Good Earth Cafes
Chai latte with soy milk+pumpkin spice muffin (vegans take note of this muffin as it is the best ever)= love
Good thing Good Earth is so bloody expensive or else I'd feast on these things every morning.
37. Sakana Grill
I am alright with Sakana Grill. If it is late, and we are in Chinatown, or looking for a place to eat before hitting up a movie or something at Eau Claire, I am definitely willing to eat here, although it is by no means a mindblowing experience.

I have created the first review for Veggie Fusion Express because I DO want other vegetarians in Calgary to know that it is here. This restaurant has replaced the little whole in the wall formerly known as White Oak to those Calgarians who previously…More »

Recently updated lists from Sarah Louise F.
My vegan quest for the world's best falafel. (5)In a horribly omnivorous world, where vegans are considered strange by weirdos who munch on carcasses, falafel often becomes a default staple food for us. I have had falafel both good and horrible, and this is the list to end all falafel lists telling of my plight for the best falafel ever. |
"And this also... has been one of the dark places of the earth." (8)"The horror! The horror!"This is my Heart of Darkness list, if you will. I have voyaged to these dark establishments, witnessed the evils of humanity, the germs of empires. I shall tell you tales of my journeys, and hope that you do not fall into the darkness, like so many before us. ;) |
om! shanti! shanti! shanti! (5)yoga studios i have tried in the city. |
a november of yelp (27)I'M DOING IT! i have decided that i am going to catch up to 30 reviews by the end of november like all the rest of you champs. so far it is the 21st and i have six. LET THE MADNESS BEGIN |
a list for book worms, musicphiles, and film nerds. (15)"Uhm... a film festival? No thanks. My friend went to one of those...and now she doesn't eat meat."These are the places in Calgary and the surrounding area that elate the literature/film/music nerd in me. |
tea (and coffee) list (12)now, i am much more of a tea nerd than a coffee snob, but i have attempted to compile some of my favourite places together in a list. please keep in mind, that i do seek out tea in my occasional travels, so not alll of these sources are going to be local. :) |
san francisco (2)i misssssss you san francisco. |
