It was a sunny Sunday morning and my Urbanspoon app pointed me in the direction of John’s as we were looking for a quick breakfast in the NW. We arrived and were fortunate to get patio seating right away….or so we thought. We quickly ordered, the menu items are all very reasonably priced, with the…

Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House – Quaint, Clean, Cute
I enjoyed lunch with a friend at Tamarind the other day. Upon walking into the restaurant, it appears a lot smaller than expected, with about 5 tables for 2. Though note that the small size did not equate chaotic (as I’m sure you can imagine other Asian restaurants) and had a clean, fresh feel with…
Canada Dosa Corner – mmmm dosa!
Monday, February 14, 2011 A friend and I tried out Dosa Corner last night (yes as in Valentine’s Day…so sad!) 🙂 The restaurant was cozy with red themed decor that brings to mind spices! And spicy it was (you may have to request mild)! We ordered the Masala Vada (7.99)as an appetizer – these are…
Nami Sushi
Conveniently located, this is a great place for drink specials and sushi that won’t break the bank. We tried some of the combination plates and the beef tataki. I like that the restaurant offered lots of room for groups, very clean, comfortable seating and booths as well. They also have amazing drink specials – so…
Corporate Calgary – Charcut
I love love love Charcut’s daily lunch specials. This is a restaurant that is unassuming, despite it’s many accolades, success and recognition on “where to eat” lists throughout the country. For only $15, you can grab a sit down with your colleagues (while still looking fancy) and try their parmesan fries, a daily soup or…
Rice for King – Macleod Trail Location
Took a couple of friends here following a movie in the area….Modest restaurant, but a step up from other comparable Vietnamese restaurants in the city with booth seating throughout. I love trying sate soups! I strayed from my usual beef sate pho and opted for #16 Seafood Sate, that included imitation crab, shrimp, and squid….The…
South St. Burger – Beacon Hill
This is a sit-down/takeout franchise that is part of the New York Fries chain, resembling a modern style diner. Despite it being a faux-pas to order a veggie burger from a “burger” establishment, we were not disappointed! The patty was a uniform consistency (no weird mixed veg added) and with a tonne of fancy topping options, I…
More than just “Salt & Pepper”
Locally owned with character plating and décor, this restaurant offers platters to sample & share as well as entrees ranging from $14-~$20. They have some pretty enticing weeknight specials which would be great for a midweek yyc date night.
Boardwalk – Burgers & Fries
Burgers & Fries oh my! The name fits the menu with a range of classic burger choices with a cali-twist of avocado, truffle oil and veggie options. Fries with cheese and jalapenos left something to be desired and I typically prefer veggie burgers that don’t use mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrot) in the patty but I…
Roustabout – Fort St. John
This seems to be a local favourite and is especially accommodating for large groups. I was surprised they had Caribbean inspired dishes on the menu, so tried the Caribbean Curry ($16) for lunch.
