1. Brasserie Kensington
Calgary, AB T2N 3P3
(403) 457-4148
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Brasseries
Dear Brasserie... this review's been a long time coming.
Whenever someone asks me what my favourite resto in Calgary is, it's without an ounce of hesitation that I reply "Brasserie Kensington." It's an ideal mixture of great service, quality food, an…More »
2. TYN Lounge- The Yellow Nectarine
Once upon a time, TYN was another pub or restaurant that I had never been into. Then it closed, and this spot was under construction. It opened a few months back, but I hadn't had occasion to go in.
Last Friday I met a friend for lunch and I suggested…More »
3. Kona On The Corner Cafe
I'd really like to like Kona. I run by it in the mornings and it reminds me of warm places, like Hawaii. Who doesn't want to be reminded of Hawaii?
Inside, the walls are painted a deep turquoise and the trim is brown. Caricatures of a surfer guy and…More »
4. Cactus Corner Truck Stop Ltd
I used to stop in Oyen on my ventures from Calgary to Saskatoon. One year, I was in a caravan with my cousins, and they stopped in at Cactus Corner. I hadn't even seen the big cactus in the sky on previous trips. But here it is!
There's not much else…More »
5. Let's Bowl
I haven't been bowling in ages. But there are still plenty of folks out at Let's Bowl keeping the lanes busy on a Saturday night. Be prepared for about an hour's wait for a lane if you're there around 9pm. Thankfully, there's a bar area to hang out…More »
6. 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 »
7. The Palomino Smokehouse
Over the course of my Calgary life, I've been to The Palomino on a variety of occasions. The first was a couple of years ago for a some lunch before a little Lunchbox Theatre. In previous years I've also attended Stampede parties here, and in recent…More »
8. Jonas Restaurant & Bar
Szia yelpers! Hogy vagy?
I learnt that from the back of the drink menu at Jonas over lunch today. I'll let you go check it out to find out what the words mean.
I love love LOVE Jonas! Twas my first time visiting them today at lunch. It's tiny, it's…More »
9. Device To Root Out Evil
Who knew there was so much evil lurking in Ramsay? I certainly didn't. At least, not until my very first visit to Caffe Rosso in Ramsay. As I turned onto 24th Ave, I spied what looked like an upside-down church. WTF? That's a weird thing to have in a…More »
10. Thai Bistro
Yowzah! That curry's spicy! Thankfully, it wasn't mine. Just a nibble from Jan L's dish. Good thing humans can't actually breath fire.
Instead, I had myself some Pad Ped with chicken (stir fry w/ red curry paste, galanga, onion, bamboo shoot, pepper,…More »
11. Cafe Koi
I visited Cafe Koi for the first time tonight. I've often passed it, but never had occasion to go in. The interior was dimly lit and simply decorated. I liked the ambiance.
The service was prompt and friendly, and the entire place was pretty low key…More »
12. Brown Bagging It For Calgary's Kids
On Tuesday morning I found myself trotting up the slightly awkward stairs for Brown Bagging It's kitchen (seriously, they're like 3 inches tall each... not big enough to step, but not a smooth way up either) to help out with some sandwich making and…More »
13. Eau Claire Crosswalk
Yep. I'm reviewing a crosswalk... but it's not just any crosswalk. Have you ever noticed anyone walking diagonally across the intersection at 3rd St and 2nd Ave in Eau Claire? I've never really paid any attention to it until I started coming through…More »
14. Heritage Park
Calgary, AB T2V 2X3
(403) 268-8500
I haven't spent much time out at Heritage Park, but after having been there for a party earlier on in the week, I think I'll be heading back to check out more! We had a function in the Founders Room, inside the Gasoline Alley Museum. Walking through…More »
15. Caffe Sola
When you don't want Starbucks and you're in Saskatoon, where do you go? Why, Caffe Sola of course!!
It was a quick visit on my way out from the city, but my vanilla latte hit the spot. There isn't much to the interior, it looks like it could be a…More »
16. Shelf Life Books
Score another win for Shelf Life Books! I was pondering a couple of books to buy in the business/networking realm. I've done some friends and family research, a little internet browsing, found some common book titles that I thought might be worth a…More »

17. Log Barn 1912
Log Barn... go for the pies, stay for the cinnamon buns! I needed a yummy dessert to bring to a potluck and didn't have time to make one. And grocery store desserts just don't cut it anymore.
Log Barn is like gift shop meets pie shop. You'll find all…More »
18. 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 »
19. Safeway Food & Drug
The only thing I stop by Safeway these days for is a sandwich from the deli counter-the California Dreamin' in particular. I've been eating that same sandwich for lunch every now and again for the past 7 years and I love it!
The self-order kiosks are…More »

There is something unique about the sandwich counter at Safeway downtown. Many people don't see the… Read more »
20. Cook County Saloon
Edmonton, AB T6E 6A2
(780) 432-2665
I've discovered the secret of enjoying the country bar. And it's not to start enjoying country music... although, not hating SOME country music is kind of the place to start from.
I was in E-town for a friend's bday. Her choice of music venues, Cook…More »
21. Chez Cora
I was trying really hard not to like Cora's. Everybody kept bragging about how great it was, and I just didn't want to listen. But when two of your best friends want to head there for breaky, what's a girl to do?
I've gotta say, Cora's has a few…More »
22. CRAFT Beer Market, Restaurant & Bar
Calgary, AB T2R 0A5

Categories:

Gluten-Free
Last Sunday morning, I phoned craft hoping to make a reso for 30 people for that evening. There was a group of us finishing up a course and we wanted to head out for dinner to celebrate. We decided on Craft because we figured they'd have the easiest…More »

There aren't many spots in Calgary to go sample oodles of craft beer. But CRAFT is one of them with… Read more »
23. Good Earth Cafes
I figured it was time for a Good Earth update. A year since my last review, it's still one of my solid go-to spots to hang out on my laptop or meet a friend for a nice hot bevvy. This location in particular is spacious and well laid out, with a…More »

Good Earth, great environment.
I've spent many an afternoon at this Good Earth location. My visit… Read more »
24. The Famous Five
These 5 ladies sit in Olympic Plaza, just to the east of Teatro. For me, they're a great reminder of some of the great women that stand behind us. Names like Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung haunt me from my elementary school days... it was refreshing…More »
25. The Family of Man
The Family of Man statues downtown have long since piqued my interest. Every time I drive by, I wonder what these tall, lanky, leggy sculptures are meant to represent. And yet, because I'm driving by, I'd forget about them again once they left my…More »
26. Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Have I mentioned how much I love the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary? It's now one of my favourite places to head for a stroll on a gorgeous wintry day. The path is easy to walk, it's nice and quiet, and there are photos to be taken at every turn if you so…More »

27. 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 »

28. Tastebuds Cafe
I was really happy to see that the car through the front window of Tastebuds was not the end of the cafe, but just something that got in their way for a few weeks until everything got fixed up again.
Today, I was downtown attempting to make my way out…More »
29. Commonwealth Bar & Stage
Finally, a night spot that doesn't feel like old-Calgary, or drunk and slutty Calgary. I've hit up Commonwealth a couple of times and I'm diggin' the digs. Larger bar upstairs, more clubby atmosphere downstairs or lounge in the front, you've got your…More »
30. T & T Supermarket
I did it! I went to T&T all by myself. My very first experience there was a couple of years ago with one of my friends. I couldn't believe that there were rows of live sea creatures just waiting for you to pick up and take home... or that you could…More »
