Located in the Bow Valley Square, this restaurant recently had a full makeover. This is one of the most popular restaurants for quick takeout in downtown Calgary that you should plan to get there early to miss the lines! Very reasonably priced considering the location, adding to its popularity. Most lunch entree items are around…

White Elephant – Best & Most Elusive Thai in Calgary
My favourite Thai restaurant…beat the crowds by visiting mid week. Step 1: find the Traveller’s Inn Motel. Step 2: Take the narrow hallway. Step 3: Pass the restaurant award showcase and accolades. Step 4: ENJOY!. I would highly recommend the green curry with eggplant and shrimp pad sew. This restaurant is by far my favourite…
Edgemont City
Edgemont City – is an authentic staple for Chinese cuisine in the NW suburbs. Based on observation alone – this restaurant is packed EVERY night of the week (with predominantly Asian folken), is popular for banquets (10 course traditional meals) and has plenty of regulars! CRAVING GREENS??? We ordered a HEAPING plate of the “dummgoo…
Village Ice Cream – Dessert Delish!
Monday, February 25, 2013 Wow talk about comfort food! I can’t say I’ve tried creamier ice cream elsewhere. Yes I agree, $5 for a single scoop sounds expensive, but for ice cream this rich, it’s an easily justified indulgence. I love the unconventional flavours like cardamom! I have a weakness for toasted coconut (which likely…
Sakana Grill – New Year, New Service!
Sunday, February 3, 2013 After a stressful work week my nerosis tend to emerge. But last week, Sakana Grill & it’s staff managed to put each of these at ease.Paranoia:Upon reading previous reviews, I admit to being a bit weary to book here for a business lunch, but Sakana Grill was accomodating. I reserved in…
Murrieta’s West Coast Bar & Grill – Entrancing Entrees…Dispelling Desserts
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 I recently hosted a night out at this beautiful restaurant off the convenient & central location of Stephen Ave. Our hosts were amazing as were our entrees ranging from pastas to curry to lamb! Being as it was a girls night, we opted for dessert (of course!)…unfortunately although all beautifully described…
Safe Sapore
Saturday, January 7, 2012 Entertained a group of coworkers (8) with appetizers: Vodka Smoked Salmon (delicious!), Grilled Calamari (terrible!), and Crostini di Burrata (also delicious). Bread was also provided, but I prefer when it is served warm. This restaurant offers three different gnocchi on its menu! I unfortunately chose the blander of the three (Gnocchi…
Our Thai, Muay Thai?
They accommodated myself and a coworker in the middle of the afternoon (3pm on a Thursday) in Vaughan. The restaurant is large and has a great & creative interior considering when you look a bit more closely it appears to be a converted warehouse! We chose to be a bit adventurous and attempted the papaya…
Turtle Jack’s – WINGS = Food Baby!
Being from out West I was a little hesitant agreeing to lunch at a restaurant with the name “Turtle Jack’s” but was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable, casual, cottage-like atmosphere. My co-workers recommended the wings here, and OMG were they delicious…but complicated…the experience was comparable to ordering a starbucks coffee, except with options like large,…
Bacio by Carla Pellegrino – Oh Oh Italiano!
Thursday, October 27, 2011 Right before vacationing in Vegas, we managed to catch the flu, leaving us lethargic, lazy and mostly out of commission for the duration of our trip.. As a result we chose to quarantine ourselves to our hotel room in the Trop….Saturday night we worked up the will to dress up and…
