“Bruce served us for a second visit and was phenomenal. Food is delicious and the staff ensure you are well catered to for the best experience. Great for group dinners.”
“Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. We ordered at the south Edmonton location (probably more then we needed) but zero regrets! Still dreaming about the spring rolls and the curry! 1000/10! Wishing for an east coast location.”

“We are visiting from the UK to see family and they showed us around this area. We stopped for a bite to eat here and have to say it was the best toasted sandwich I've ever had, it was so tasty 😋 We will definitely be visiting again before we leave!”

“Best food ever always delicious ?”
“good food best authentic in town. Highly recommended.👍👍❤️”
“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Jenn. She has served us before and I felt it was time that I finally made a review. She's attentive (my coffee is never completely empty) and she checks in when the kitchen gets behind, often bringing something complimentary if there happens to be a wait. Jenn even remembers my niece's names! She's really an exceptional server. I now wait to sit in her section.”
“Saw Giulia on Snapchat and Instagram with the videos, knew I was coming to Calgary for a few days and was able to meet her, get a pic and try a slice of pizza , great pizza !!”

“Authentic Indian food, good portions reasonably-priced, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. Arguably the best Indian restaurant in Cochrane.”
“This place has amazing pizza, the owners are very lovely people. I like how they have lots of cheese and made fresh. I would recommend this place! Definitely hits the spot when you just want a classic good pizza, no frills!”
“My Buds went to Bolero and They said it was AMAZING. 10 Stars. Great Decor/Interior Clean and Epic Service. "Left nice and Full.”
“My daughter and I dined at 530pm yesterday, May 24th 2025. We chose to sit in the dining room. We were lead to a table by the fireplace under a great chandelier. The ambiance of Joey Crowfoot is lively and warm. Comfortable seating, perfectly sized tables, and excellent lighting. Our server, whose name I can't recall - tall dark and handsome and a theater major - was attentive and friendly. The food we had was absolutely incredible. We chose goyza dumplings to start which were so flavourful and perfectly cooked. My daughter ordered the hamburger and fries and even with her braces bothering her, she demolished. My blackened chicken with warm potato salad was hands down the BEST meal I've had in a restaurant in a long, long time. I will be dreaming of that salad until I can get back there again !!”

Best Lamb and Chicken Kabobs with sauces and Salads He made sure the Vegan orders were separated and classic presentation! Priced reasonably to fit a budget For a sit down afternoon dinner with family it’s like a feast for a King! Tea and fresh juices offered free of charge! The Falafel melts in your mouth For take out services be sure you will be offered juices while you wait A delightful experience”
“Today I ordered a dozen donuts and the chicken burger w/ fries. I actually cried when I took the first bite of my chicken burger. It’s the yummiest thing I have eaten in 5 years…maybe ever. Then tonight, I had a cruller for dessert and stopped in my tracks. You guys, this place is worth the drive from wherever you are. From customer service to the post-meal contemplation, worth every calorie…1000% top shelf!!!!”
“What a cool bar in downtown Calgary!! The drinks are delicious and the ambiance is so cozy with the couches & dim lighting.
I ordered the Father of Sax, all their drinks are works of art 🎷
Already excited to visit Prohibition on my next trip to Calgary!”
“It was a perfect breakfast for the three of us before we dropped out daughter off at the airport. I had my traditional two eggs over easy with toast sausage and bacon. The two others had some wonderful eggs-benny. My eggs were perfect, the toast was perfect, the bacon was crispy, and the sausages were spicy and succulent, making for a delicious meal. Arlene was wonderful throughout the whole meal so thanks to her especially!”

“Love the place, the food, and the people. It was our first time there and our server, Amanda, was amazing. From the small chats to making sure we have fresh bread, she made sure we were welcomed and cared for. Food was spectacular as well, we recommend the mussels, the ravioli and the plat du jour (duck). ❤️”

“I came here because of my friend’s recommendation, and they didn’t disappoint me! I tried the halibut claypot, and my friend had the smoked duck claypot. Both were absolutely amazing! The texture and flavor really impressed us. The staff were also very nice; I asked for extra claypot sauce and kimchi, and they brought plenty. Plus, the projector setup was really cool. I’ll definitely come back!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing dinner at The Taste Factory with friends, and everything from start to finish was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed evening together. The food was outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a great variety, and everyone at the table found something they loved. Portions were generous, and the flavors truly stood out. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back, and I’d highly recommend The Taste Factory to anyone looking for a place to enjoy good food and great company. Special thanks to 'Sarim and Gurleen'👍 Good job guys 🤗”
“Thank you for a wonderful evening! The staff and students were friendly and professional every step since the arrival until departure. We will definitely comeback again! It was a privileged to be a part of a very meaningful experience for students and staff. Thank you for providing us, the public, with a glimpse into how amazing SAIT is, and continues to be, for our future generations who are interested in the culinary & hospitality programs!”
“I went with my family yesterday after hearing about the quality of the food from my friends. It was an amazing experience. The menu was found to be extensive and you have a wide range of food options. The items were mostly innovative and equally delicious. Must visit this restaurant. Highly recommended. This might be the best Indian restaurant”
“To the manager/owner: I’m a regular customer, and the food here is always great — fresh, hot, and consistent. I want to give a big shoutout to Ryan, Khushpreet, and Patricia for their exceptional service at the drive-thru. They’re always fast, friendly, and professional. Please recognize their hard work — they truly make every visit a great experience!”
“I have been using Greg and his team for 20+ years to repair and maintain my equipment on a commercial level at work. They are always prompt, honest and get the job done! I now also find out that they will service and repair smaller mixers!! (Kitchen-aids etc). Definitely my goto place. Thanks guys!”
“Very friendly employees work for this location, overall environment is very clean. I chose to eat at the store, they paid attention to where I sat down and delivered the food to my table. They answered my questions with patience. Highly recommend this place for quick tasty food with affordable prices.”

“A great place when you are craving flavour from home. food is great and staff is nice. only complain is wait time. i called in advance, but had to wait for more than 10min when i arrived at the scheduled picked up time. just factor that into your schedule... other wise, again the taste is great”
“***Must Visit*** My girl and I enjoy touring around, trying new restaurants and returning back to our favourites. After seeing so many amazing reviews and being tempted by the menu- it was time to try it! Family owned and very proud of bringing homeland style to our fine city- we had Mafiosa and Verona pizzas, Burek(Balkan pie with meat and cheese), homemade baklava and bread with imported jam. It was SUPER IMPRESSIVE! Fresh sliced meats, vegetables, everything homemade and perfectly prepared- I could eat here EVERYDAY! This is a contender for top pizza in Calgary and one of the best in Canada I’ve had! 🍕🇨🇦🍷makes my wifey happy sooooo you know it’s wicked good!”
“We had been looking to replace our ‘go-to’ East Indian option, after our longstanding restaurant sold their business (menu change sadly no longer lived up to expectation.) After venturing to try a few new restaurants, we continued to be met with disappointment. It was then recommended by my physio therapist to try Masala Art. And glad we made the trek on a cold winter Sunday night to support small family owned business. We were met with a gracious welcome. Atmosphere was simple, yet cozy. The service was top notch and very attentive. The samosas were fresh and flavourful, sauces were fresh and the Naan was absolutely classic and hot sizzling of the chef’s station. The veg korma vegetables tasted fresh and leftovers the next day, the flavours melded together even better! The staff and chef were inquisitive to the flavour satisfaction amidst our dining, we felt they picked a suitable spice level for our tolerance and were intuitively precise. I hope to see this business thrive as it is well deserved. I recommend even quantity items of samosa as I have a hard time arm wrestling over the 3rd Samosa, lol.”
“this is a small cute restaurant in the Kensington area., they have a very unique way to represent the sushi and it is inside the tofu skin , the sushi pockets are okay , nothing amazing or extraordinary , portions are okay too, big and filling
I ordered their pocket holic special, which comes with udon, pocket sushi and miso which is a good deal if you want to try few things in their menu
For the udon, i tried the Rose Tteokbokki Udon , its creamy with a hint of sweetness and the spiciness is just right., its like tteokbokki without the rice cake, they forgot my fish cake with it but when i told the server , they wanted to make me a new bowl but i told them , they just can give me the fish cake on the side which they did and its so good with it too
if you are around Kensington , try it out and have a bite 😁”
“I love this place! I've been going there for years specifically for their pork spring rolls and the best wor wonton in the city! The family there is so great! They always go above and beyond, which is evidenced by the line ups at lunchtime. Highly recommend them! 5 stars from me!”
“Wow is all I can say!! Great food! Best Greek food I have had in my 14 years in Calgary! Flavourful Yummy goodness Owners are amazing and friendly pricing on point! Thank you for being the best hidden gem in Calgary!!”
“Very high quality Italian food. Service was great it’s best to get a reservation but I was able to get a table last minute”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, especially considering how affordable everything is. It’s rare to find a place where the prices are low but the quality doesn’t take a hit, and this spot really delivers. Every dish we tried tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with more care than you’d expect for the price point. I'm not saying the food was perfect or life changing, but very good for the price.
The portions were generous, the flavours were pretty on point, and it didn't feel “cheap” except the actual cost — which is a huge win. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite for your lunch break or planning a casual meal out, this is a great choice if you want good-quality food without spending a lot.
I will say that it does feel a bit like a cafeteria, which doesn't surprise me too much considering it's surrounded by office buildings all around downtown. It's not like a formal restaurant with table service, reusable plates and utensils and such, but still a very cozy little spot.
Overall, it’s a budget-friendly place that doesn’t compromise on taste or quality. It did lack a little authenticity and there are small things that lowered the taste experience a bit, but absolutely zero complaints for the price. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for great value at a cozy little spot.”
“I am so so lucky to have had the honour of catering from Shawarma Cairo restaurant, the food was amazing, tasty and super organized, and it truly surpassed my expectations! The owners are such wonderful people, and I will be definitely ordering from them again with my eyes closed ! From kufta to rice to pizza to salad to hummus to tahina to shawarma to garlic sauce … everything is top top !! Thank you and keep up the great work and Allah yaatiko saha ?”
“We’ve been coming to Franca’s for lunch or dinner now and then over the years, and honestly, we’ve never been disappointed. The food is always spot-on, and the gnocchi is hands-down the best in Calgary. Light, pillowy, and full of flavour. The atmosphere is warm and familiar, and Franca herself often pops by to say hello, which makes the experience feel personal in a way that’s hard to find these days. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, without being over the top. It’s one of those places you keep coming back to, not just for the food, but because it feels like part of the community.”

Fine Dining
“Highly recommend. Took our order on short notice of 24 hours and the result was a perfect cake both in design and taste. I'm not a cake eater (don't have a sweet tooth) but I did eat this cake and it was honestly the best cake I've ever had! I wish I lived closer, I'd order all my cakes from this place!”
“We've heard great things about Cesar's and you did not disappoint. I'd like to highlight our waistress Micah(not sure how to spell her name). We visited yesterday and was entirely satisfied with our experience. The food was excellent, and Micah was so pleasant and so friendly to our baby. If we ever visit Calgary again, we are definitely coming back to your restaurant.”
“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!”
“The Business district Calgary Vintage Chophouse is truly an astonishing place to dine. I had the enjoyment of attending a company celebration, and we received their exclusive private room for a full night. With more than 20 seats my business cohort and myself had a great time. The service is impeccable, the scenery is grand, and the food is spectacular!”

“I went for the first time last night. I was so impressed with the measures the waiter and cooking staff took to ensure I didn't come in contact with my food allergies, the sharing plates concept was brilliant, and the food was delicious. Whenever I'm in Calgary again, I will be returning. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”
“We had our wedding at Rouge and I can’t express how perfect our day was! The coordinator Rey was absolutely amazing from the very first day I met her up to the day itself. She took the time to answer all my questions (very quickly) and on the day of, she guided us through the process and made us feel so comfortable with everything. The food was amazing, the fresh vegetables and the meat and all the appetizers were to die for! The set up and take down was smooth and they worked with our guests and vendors to make sure everyone had what they needed. Thank you so much to Rey and the entire staff for making my day so special! 🤍”
“In line with the restaurant, I’ve structured to 8 points of my dining experience. 1. RESERVATIONS & GETTING THERE If you’re very lucky you can get a reservation. Watch out for their announcement/s at Instagram and book at TOCK. I got mine in November 2021 for February 2022 dinner. Chef Darren shared that in the latest offering, 36,000 people went in and it sold out in 30 seconds. You will receive an email for dining reservations and included are instructions how to get to Eight. Located at ALT hotel at East Village in Calgary, Alberta. Complimentary underground parking. Be early, reception will send you at NUPO bar before you’ll be invited over to the secret door leading to your seat. 2. FOOD There are no words to describe the gastronomical experience this 15-course dinner (with snacks) offered. All the superlatives can be used. Fall in love with the plethora of Canadian ingredients married into the greatness Chef Darren’s mind. Well intentioned sourcing of fresh local, farm owned ingredients in your plate. Each made great with time whether it’s the reclaimed dairy cow’s beef, cured bacon goodness — it’s clear! (yum) and rich chicken broth. From east to west ingredients, indulge in what each coast brings through texture, colour and scents. It’s a win after win, one plate, one bowl at a time. 3. PAIRINGS Truly recommended to take it! As serendipity has it, it was Season 8 and Eight’s 2nd anniversary. The last pairing of Espresso, Licor 43 was replaced by a Ruinart Blanc de Blanc to celebrate with Chef Darren and his staff. Lucky! 4. AMBIENCE Low light, one bulb overhead per person highlights the food in front of you. Across is a marbled island where the action happens. It’s a cozy distance to chat with other guests to your side and still well-spaced to enjoy your spot (and your date!) Leather bar seats, metal backing art at the corner adds to the mystery feel of the eluded box. 5. STORY TELLING This is a vital part of the dining experience. Chef Darren walks through the history of ingredients and how he came up with the course. Very interesting, heartwarming and funny stories to hear. 6. SYMPHONY The smooth flow of chef, assistants and server movements : cooking, plating, serving timing, wine glass replacement and bread offering is a flawless operations at an optimum (small) space. It is a feat. 7. CERAMICS The handmade, locally made plate counts. The 24 Karat lined cup and the stacked bowl of snacks counts. It’s beautiful. Hello Quinspired Ceramics ✨ 8. INVESTMENT Worth every Canadian dollar. $245pp dinner + $145pp pairing (optional) + 20% gratuity + taxes Ending note: There is a no photo policy and it suits your dinner experience as you’re fully immersed into the story telling and presentation. You are given a small folder, tucked in is the menu + pairing details. Inside the folder is poignant essay of Chef Darren’s thoughts how the Canadian Reflection Menu came about. Take it as poetry! A map of Canada is inserted and handwritten in each province were ingredients used that night. Overall, this was a great experience. Calgary is lucky to have Eight. Well done! Bravo Chef Darren! Now, best of luck to booking a seat!”
“pizza was absolutely delicious, crust was crunchy and toppings were amazing... We will be back most definitely.. Service was wonderful”

“This place is amazing. The food is top tier, no joke. You will not miss the meat if you’re a meat eater like me. Honestly my go-to for sushi and salad dressings. A gem more people need to know about! Very accommodating for food sensitivities and lifestyles. I wish I could give 10/5 stars. (I don’t have a pic to share bc I gobbled down my meal too fast)”

“This is what it’s all about. You can tell the crew here is working incredibly hard to deliver delicious food. I’m a fan of breakfast and this place brings such a refreshing twist to the table. Their breakfast bahn mi has been haunting me in my sleep since. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“Congress Coffee Company feels more like a vibrant community hub than a corporate chain. The welcoming staff and variety of arts events make it a standout spot. While they’re known for their expertly roasted coffee, I personally love their teas paired with a sweet treat. The butter tarts, in particular, are irresistible and keep me coming back for more. Whether you’re there for the drinks, the snacks, or the atmosphere, Congress Coffee is a gem!”
“Love this place and the owner is delightful! Highly recommend visiting there �”
“The lunch buffet was excellent and the quality of food was fantastic. It was as if my taste buds were instantly transported to Seoul and sampling all the Korean cuisine! 5 stars for Seoul Korean BBQ!!!”
“Authentic Indian food, good portions reasonably-priced, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. Arguably the best Indian restaurant in Cochrane.”
“Amazing food at a more than fair price! I genuinely enjoyed my overall experience when it comes to flavour and the smiling faces. I will definitely be coming back again!”
“we are new in calgary and we absolutely wanted to try indian cuisine. we choose Lazeez for its good reviews and we were not disappointed. thank you 😊”
“Excellent Italian food prepared by Italians. Welcome place and very kind and professional staff. Excellent pasta and delicious pizza. Average prices. Ottimo cibo italiano preparato dagli italiani. Posto benvenuto e personale molto gentile e professionale. Ottima pasta e deliziosa pizza. Prezzi medi.”
“Amazing food! Relaxed atmosphere! Will definitely be going again!”
“Came here with my sister (who eats here often) for lunch & I was not disappointed. This cute restaurant cured my sushi craving & can’t wait till I can go back.
The food was a work of art & so tasty, the atmosphere is laid back & modern. An overall great experience!”
“We have been here several times. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and the service has been excellent. The food is delectable, tasty, and nicely presented with just the right balance of spices and heat. We just couldn't stop nibbling on the garlic naan bread and tamarind sauce. We were impressed with the cleanliness, the decor, and the pleasant atmosphere. It has become our favourite Indian Food restaurant in the City.”
“Food was outstanding.. staff amazing Service top notch . Took my son and his Mum for his birthday . We were stuffed”
“Great staff, great decor, and amazing food! Always love to come here with my wife and family. This is a great place for parties or a date night and their sister restaurant Ajito is very trendy.”
“My wife and I had our wedding reception at The Lake House and it truly was beautiful! The scenery and the elegance of the restaurant itself are incomparable for a wedding venue. From there we go to the food. The food was absolutely delicious and all of of our guests praised the restaurant for the amazing options they were presented along with how absolutely tasty every single bite was. From the appetizers, to the main course, to the dessert and the late night snack, every single bite was spectacular. As we continue on the accommodating and excellence of service go beyond compare. Every step of the way the team at The Lake House catered to what our wants were and offered great advice and options to make sure we landed on the right decision. When spending so much money on everything to do with a wedding it can add up and you want to make sure the value is there and that you’re not over spending on one thing vs. another. They made sure that as costs added up for us elsewhere we really saw the value while still getting an elite, exceptional, beyond compare venue that just took care of nearly everything. My wife and I live busy lives and had a baby shortly after our wedding and have repeatedly told each other since the wedding we truly owe it to the restaurant to make sure we sit down, take time and praise how truly happy we were with our experience in a review so that everyone knows and we can hopefully give them some extra business and help others have as spectacular an experience as us. Since our time there many of our guests have shared how much they loved the experience there and said that they could not think of a better place to have a wedding venue. We do live out of town so we do t get to go back as often as we’d like but our anniversary is just around the corner and we’re very excited to go back to The Lake House to enjoy this day as well. Thank you everyone at The Lake House for sharing our moment with us and making it unforgettable! We truly appreciate you!”
“Jasmine was amazing! Amazing service and friendly. She made our visit awesome. The food and drink was out of this world (damn good) the best we’ve had in years!!!!”
“Just had dinner here with 3 friends. We all loved our meals which is an awesome experience! I had the west coast salmon which was spectacular, a friend raved about the burger and we even had desserts which were to die for.”
“Food here is absolutely delicious, great portion size and wonderful service. Beautiful place to eat with the Japanese themed decor. The only place I’ve been to in Calgary that I haven’t needed to order a second portion of noodles. And tempura icecream was great!👌”
“Thanks to the entire team at Monki Inglewood for hosting our large group this weekend! The service was so friendly, and every dish came out perfectly timed, even during peak brunch hours. Everything was cooked to perfection, our whole table cleared their plates! Highly recommend Monki Inglewood for brunch, the selection and service make it a must.”
“Excelente! me hizo sentir muy cerca de mí amado PERÚ 🇵🇪❤️”
“Been going to Chop for a few years now. Love just about everything on the menu. Great for a stop in and grab a good meal or take a friend on a date or celebrate birthday or anniversary. Always good.”
“We eat out a fair bit, but this was the best night out I have had in years! Have not been here before, but definitely coming back often. Came here with my wife and one of our friends later on Saturday afternoon for happy hour and got seated at the bar, overlooking the kitchen. The happy hour drinks were very good, and the food was fantastic. We ended up staying for dinner, and every dish was beautifully prepared, tasty and original - not just a variation on something you would get at a restaurant down the street. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our waiter provided excellent service. He always knew the right time to check up on us and see if we needed more drinks or food. Nice guy too. I originally was a little disappointed to get seated at the bar instead of a table - now I would not want to sit anywhere else. Loved to watch the skills and teamwork of the kitchen staff, who were very friendly and chatted with us when they had time. Loved everything about this place.”
“We had sushi rolls and absolutely amazing. The salmon teryaky roll is my favorite.
Piece of constructive feedback for the owners: near the end of our dining (around 7 pm) is started to smell like bleach in the restaurant which was not pleasant. But otherwise I'll recommend this place.”
“Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for Sohour and was thoroughly impressed. The food was nothing short of amazing, each dish bursting with flavor. The ambiance of the place is perfect for gatherings, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The staff deserves a special mention for their courteous service, adding to the overall positive experience. What sets this restaurant apart is its unique Egyptian vibe, which adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable meal.”
“I had dinner tonight at The Himalayan (17 Ave SW). It was my first time here, and only my second Nepalese restaurant I’ve been to. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and very kind. The restaurant is clean, and intimate. Parking isn’t ideal, but that’s not their fault! I started with the pork momos as an appetizer. They were excellent, but quite expensive ($16 for six regular-sized dumplings). The flavour was great, and they tasted very fresh. For my main, I had Chicken Dal Bhatt, which came with three small dishes of meat and curry and lentils, along with rice, naan and some side dishes. Each of the individual dishes had incredible flavour. They were also hot and fresh, as were the momos. The meal was served on a metal platter, and the small bowls were also metal. It was beautifully presented. As soon as I finished my main meal, the waiter offered me a chai and mango pudding (included in the meal). The chai was aromatic and spicy and earthy and amazing! The mango pudding was icy cold (also in a metal dish), and hit the spot at the end of the meal. For my appetizer and main meal, I opted for mild / zero spice. Everything was so flavourful I don’t regret this decision. However next time, I’ll live a little and try the medium heat. Overall, this was a 10/10 for me and I’m really glad I had the chance to try out this restaurant!!”
“We had an incredible experience at Bridgette Bar. Out of towners, we showed up on a Friday without reservations. They said the only seats they had were at the Chef's Bar. We've never sat at a Chef's Bar but decided to give it a try. What a great time! It was fun watching the cook staff and chatting with them. And the food was outstanding! Great service, great vibe, we had a great time. If we lived in Calgary, Bridgette Bar would be a regular stop!”
“They are so nice I dropped mine made me a new one for free told me don't worry about it 😁”
“Had a fantastic evening at Jane Bond for their crawfish boil! The food was delicious and the service was awesome, they were especially great with our daughter! We'll definitely be back!”
“We enjoyed wonderful food and wonderful service from Violet Mackey yesterday. I highly recommend going there. 👍👍”
“Vine a la taqueria porque me llamo mucho la atencion probar unos tacos, ya que llevaba años sin probar unos buenos tacos. Me pedi unos de birrias y vaya la sorepresa que me dio cuando vi que estaban doraditos y que venian con su consome. No solo eso, estaban riquisimos, recomiendo mucho este lugar si estas en busca de unos buenos tacos. Se la rifo el viejon!”
“The mango smoothie with pearls was hands down delicious! Friendly service,really clean bathroom and super chill vibes! Come out and check this gem of place out! ❤️ Thank you!!”
“Chun Jang is my favorite restaurant in all of Calgary. Everytime we're here we must stop in for lunch. Authentic flavors, delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere.”
“Inviting atmosphere as well as friendly staff and customers, everyone there seems to just be enjoying themselves thoroughly. That should say it all right there. If not though, my 3 friends and I left with clean plates and full bellies. Never an empty cup of coffee or water, and the chicken fried pancakes with garlic honey butter... 🤤 Eat and be merry ya'll!”
“Had a fantastic evening at Jane Bond for their crawfish boil! The food was delicious and the service was awesome, they were especially great with our daughter! We'll definitely be back!”
“The food here is amazing, and the service from the people working at the front as well as the servers are fantastic. I highly recommend, Christian was especially kind and service from him as amazing.”
“We had a table of 5. It was game night, so it was pretty busy, but service was still good (if slightly delayed). We shared appetizers and dessert but each chose different main courses. Spinach-Cheese Dip: Pretty good, although the table preferred the garlic bread pieces more than the chips. Salsa was spicier than expected. Mac & Cheese: Very tasty, good portion size, would pick again. Cinnamon Poppers: Each piece was about the size of an adult thumb. There's chocolate inside and chocolate sauce on the side, so great for chocolate lovers. We got two since the server made it sound like each piece was about the size of a Timbit.”
“my fiance and I went here and we were absolutely delighted with our experience at Agni Indian Restaurant! The delectable food surpassed our expectations, and the service was exceptional, especially considering the reasonable prices. Highly recommend!”
“A memorable experience was had with my latest visit. It was a busy Friday night and the staff took care of our table of 4 for dinner and provided us with good service and good food. The experience was memorable because of the level of care and attention to detail that Floor Manager Tait provided us with! He was invested in our dining experience and he was polite and friendly! Thank you Tait and your team for taking care of us.”
“Ordered their lunch special for takeout, and wow it was delicious!! I didn't take photos, I was too busy devouring my lunch. The fish was fresh and tempura was light and crunchy. The staff were also friendly and accommodating. This has become my new fav sushi place. Can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings 😋”
“My second time in Calgary was nothing short of perfection. Last year I dined here for my birthday and when the thought of what to do rolled around this year, flying to Calgary seemed both extra, and hilarious. But it stuck. Saltlik, you outdid yourself. I’ve been thinking of the Beeswax Old Fashioned for 366 days and it just hits the spot. Victoria B.C. hasn’t latched onto it yet but it’ll come. Dinner was exceptional but the real star or the show was Trevor. Exceptional service is becoming an almost lost art and this guy has it. His energetic read on the table and tailored charisma is what 90s career servers were made of. The kind of server who questions himself “how do I elevate this experience?!” And then executes. His tag team with Chris to make this birthday nothing short of Calgary perfection is exactly why we ended up here. Thank you for making us feel special, our dinner incredible and leaving us with yet another Saltlik memory for the books. Thanks over many thanks. We will see you again!”
“Food was excellent. Love how they served the sashimi on top of ice cubes to keep the fish cold. The mango rolls was a delight and different from other Japanese restaurants as it was filled with small mango pieces inside the rolls. Yummy! The service was great, and the staff was super friendly.”
“This was our first of what will be many visits. The food was amazing and the staff are world class. Best uni I have had in a long time. We will definitely be back for the omakase.”
“Loved coming here today with my friends and daughter ! Friendly staff and the breakfast was amazing. Even better than the breakfast in Istanbul when I went last year !”
“We ordered as a company for our monthly appreciation lunch. The food was great. Everything I ordered was included. They did mention that their food is slightly spicier but did a pretty good job at making it milder. The only item that was on the spicier side were the beef seekh kababs (they did mention this to me prior, so we knew to expect this). The butter chicken was really great. They were generous with the food portions - we had plenty leftover. Overall, the staff really enjoyed the food. Service was exceptional!”
“I've just come back to Canada after some years and noticed that Roc's had opened near where my parents lived and wanted to try it - really glad I did! Very delicious food and prompt service - the Halo-Halo was especially delicious! Will definitely be back next time we are in Calgary.”
“Amazing food, staff are so sweet and personable. Had the best time 100% would recommend.”
“Hello,
I wanted to share my experience this evening. Matthew aka Rusty was amazing! It was my parents Christmas gift from my sister and I to bring them out to Jubilations and Rusty was so good and made us all laugh and gave extra attention to my mom “aka his mom” she had such an amazing time the show was fantastic and Rusty made it even more special thank you!!”
“We ordered dinner for pick up and our food was fabulous! We've tried a lot of Indian restaurants in Calgary and OM is at the top of our list now. Food was spiced perfectly, meat was tender and their pakoras were delicious!! Everything was packaged in spill proof recyclable containers too which made post dinner clean up a breeze. We will be back!!”
“Owens Landing is my go to for quality eats. Love the menu, cocktails, and atmosphere. The best service in Calgary.”
“Came on a weekday, which was perfect because weekends here get very busy — expect a bit of a wait then. The absolute standout was the service. Every staff member was so kind, upbeat, and welcoming, and our food arrived hot and incredibly fast.
The atmosphere isn’t quite my style — it has an eclectic, diner-like vibe — and the menu felt a little overwhelming with so many flavours and options happening at once. That said, I can see why the variety appeals to a lot of people.
Overall, great service, quick food, and a fun spot for those who love bold, varied menus.”
“I’m an old lady who lives alone who was craving good fish and chips ! So went into restaurant today! So fast, so good , fantastic staff and service at Shawnessy!”
“Just was walking by and heard some great music and had to stop by. The hospitality was amazing and the beer and music was great . Perfect start to my short trip from the coast . Please support local 🫶🏻🙏”
“It was an excellent lunch spot. The food was terrific. The service was really great. All the staff seem really experienced, knowledgable and attentive. Great experience thank you”
“Amazing Alberta beef. Exceptional dining. Impeccable service.”
“Excellent Gluten Free crust for the pizza we ordered. Very tasty and a fair price as well. We drive 14 km for this great pizza.”
“9.5/10 The all-you-can-eat at Gaucho was incredibly satisfying. Once you flip your card to green, servers come around with a wide variety of meats, carving them right at your table. When you need a break, just flip it to red and they pause service until you're ready again. The meats were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. A few cuts were a bit more rare than my usual preference, but they were still delicious and never tough or chewy. The selection of sides and salads was excellent. We especially loved the potato salad and, of course, the Caesar. Service was fast and attentive, and the meat servers came by quickly every time they saw the green card up. Loved the whole experience and will definitely be back!”
“We went to dinner and actually the food is very tasty, the service is very fast and we liked that but there were some things that we didn't like so much. First the parking lot was full of ice and water not if it is normally but a lot of water was coming out of the pipes so there was a puddle of water and ice at the same time. We almost fell. Second: We understand that the restaurant opens at 5 pm but it is incomprehensible that they do not mind that it is cold outside apparently all of us who were there did not like that situation. Three we expected someone to give us a recommendation or explain the menu. And finally, I think the space is too small to be able to move freely. I had no space to leave my table.”
“first time eating here with a diverse group with limited Japanese food experience. mind blown!! beautiful atmosphere, staff were amazing made the 2 birthdays in our group very special. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing! one in our group is a meat and potato's guy but is now a sushi lover! expecting a huge bill at the end of the night but was shocked at how very reasonable the price was for a total of 7 people. Definitely will be back a new favorite restaurant.”

“Flipp’n Burgers is hands-down one of my favourite spots to eat! Every time I come here, I’m greeted with warm smiles and genuine kindness from the staff, and their service always makes me feel welcome. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything from the burgers to the sides is cooked perfectly and full of flavour. I got a Mushroom Swiss Burger, and you can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The place itself has such a great vibe, clean, cozy, and perfect for grabbing a meal with friends or family. It’s a place that combines great food, great service, and sincerity all in one. I highly recommend Flipp’n Burgers to anyone looking for a delicious meal served with kindness and heart. It’s always my go-to spot! 🍔❤️”

“We’ve visited Veranda at The Stables several times, and it consistently delivers—great location, superior service, and a vibrant atmosphere. On our most recent visit, management went above and beyond after a previous double charge was made in error. Amanda, in particular, was incredibly friendly and professional, and our server was excellent throughout. The way the team handled the mistake—promptly and graciously—earned our trust and kept us loyal. Highly recommend.”
“Punjabi Authentic food and great service. Best cholle bhature and best Amritsari kulcha I ate here . Since I am in Canada.”
“Service is fantastic, everyone is super friendly and atmosphere is amazing. I love the music they play, the lighting is amazing and LOTS of seating. Ive only tried their bagels, but they have lots of other food options available. I come here on the weekends to study and the environment helps me get lots done, its the right amount of background noise to quiet ratio.”

“I went for the first time last night. I was so impressed with the measures the waiter and cooking staff took to ensure I didn't come in contact with my food allergies, the sharing plates concept was brilliant, and the food was delicious.

“We've dined at the South Calgary Cattle Baron a number of times over the years. It's always been a good experience. This trip was no different. The restaurant has it's own parking lot. We arrived a bit early for our early reservation and were seated right away. It was quiet which I like. Wine suggestions from our server turned out to be perfect. Our food (beef, of course) arrived cooked to our preferences and was delicious. A solid, satisfying experience.”
“To start, I would simply say that from start to end, our experience was AMAZING!!! All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and welcoming. Our server explained menu items with ease and made us feel at home and that he was happy to assist. We chose the tasting menu for our party and every single dish was perfection! We would all highly recommend a meal at this amazing restaurant!”

“Frida’s Coffee Shop has been my go-to spot ever since it opened. As soon as you walk in, Frida—the owner—greets you with a warm smile. Shaheen and Juma are also incredibly friendly and always attentive to customers’ needs. The shop is cozy, clean, and just a few blocks from the Kerby C-Train station. If you’re driving, West Village offers heated parking on P1, and there’s also an Indigo open lot across the street. It’s a convenient place for a business meeting or simply catching up with friends. Truly an amazing spot whenever you need a dose of caffeine.”

“Stopped by today as I had heard they had quiche. Picked up 3 along with 2 desert pastries. This is going to become a regular place for me. A very quaint (already decorated for Christmas) cafe shop with limited seating within. Loved the decor and cozy feel. All homemade delights made by the master Dad. This is a family run business. Food and pastries just delicious.”
“+ Food is fantastic! Price:quantity ratio is great! They are made to order but still came out fairly quick. One order was enough to fill me up. The sweet bean taiyaki was good, although I wish it was a bit sweeter, but that's just my personal preference.
+ Service was good! They were very kind and helpful, and even brought my order to my table!
+ Ambiance is nothing special. It has a handful of tables but the place is very clean overall. Perfect for a quick but tasty snack!
± $ range ($9+ for kimbap, and $4+ for the taiyaki — The place also has more options than just these two)”
“BeaverTails on 17th Ave SW is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their signature pastries are freshly made to order, crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the variety of toppings—from classic cinnamon sugar to indulgent chocolate and banana combinations—makes every visit a treat. The staff are friendly and efficient, which helps even when there’s a line during peak hours. Overall, it’s a delicious taste of Canadian tradition and a fun stop while exploring the area.”
“We recently celebrated my daughter’s birthday, and Vibe Breakfast and Grill took care of the outdoor catering—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment they arrived, everything was handled with professionalism and a warm, friendly attitude. The setup was vibrant and inviting, adding a festive touch to the celebration. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the grilled items, especially the juicy chicken and the flavorful wraps. The breakfast spread was also a big hit—freshly made, full of flavor, and perfect for both kids and adults. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and willingness to customize the menu to suit our preferences. The staff was attentive and polite, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could focus on enjoying the day. They even went the extra mile to help with serving and cleanup, which was a huge relief. Thanks to Vibe, the birthday felt extra special. The food truly brought people together, and their outdoor catering service made the day stress-free and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Vibe Breakfast and Grill for any event—you’ll be in great hands.”

“We had a really good experience. The variety of meats and side dishes was impressive, and we loved being able to grill right at the table. The side dish and sauce station added a lot of flavor options, which made the meal more fun.”
