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…
Rice for King – NW – Best takeout noodle bowls!
I love my vermicelli, and I love the heaping portions you get from Rice for King (meat, noodle & spring rolls). Everything is tasty here, consistent, and a great stop after picking up family/friends from the airport. The takeout containers are a great size and yes, get people excited about the food as the meals…
The best neighbourhood pub – Brixton
This pub breaks all the stereotypes of the “corner neighbourhood pub”. Food – It has FANTASTIC food, that is not limited to nachos, but actually sports a Cajun theme. Decor – you step in and it looks like an upscale Earls, defying any preconceptions I may have had. (Great for a date!). People – Don’t…
Pure Contemporary Vietnamese Kitchen & Bar
Quite the name for a restaurant! But straight to the point – I dragged a co-worker along into the cold weather to enjoy this modern take on classic vietnamese. The appetizer “Char Siu Sesame Donut” was a great deal for $5, a beautifully baked bun stuffed with pulled pork shoulder, cilantro and brightened with pickled cucumber. I wanted to order more!…

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…
