“We came to celebrate a birthday and were not disappointed! From the second we sat down, our server Stephanie was kind, attentive, and informative…our chef Alvin was engaging, fun, and entertaining! Both of these staff members made it truly an unforgettable visit…they both went above and beyond, and interacted with our children throughout the entire meal and made it an incredible experience for our entire family. This is definitely more than just a restaurant - it is absolutely an experience and we would recommend 100% (especially for kids - they won’t stop talking about how much fun they had)!”
“Received excellent service by our server today. I was meeting there for a business lunch today and had excellent service, excellent food, and an all around excellent time. Thanks Joey's Eau Claire”
“One of my favourite korean bbq places!! We always get the Combos and this time, I didn’t know it was happy hour (12-3pm). We had 10% off for our meal and we also had free bingsu. Cyrus was very attentive and kept checking on us. It was a really good experience, as always.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Best food yet again and our server Cheyenne went above and beyond for us as always thank you for being so awesome for me and my wife will continue to recommend your Barlow location to everyone we meet”
“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.”

“The food was very well presented, tasty and satisfying! Our waitress was very careful about my allergies. We had the Street Fish Burger and Seth’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Both were deliciously seasoned.”
“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!”
“If you're craving authentic Thai flavors in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, Zabder Thai is a must-try! 🇹🇭 From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and the delicious aroma of home-cooked Thai food. I tried the Pad Thai and Green Curry—both were absolutely packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The spice level was spot on (you can request mild to Thai spicy 🔥), and the presentation was beautiful. The service was friendly and attentive without being pushy. The owner clearly takes pride in sharing real Thai culture and cuisine. Prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. Definitely a hidden gem in the city. I'll be coming back again soon—and bringing friends!”
“Best food ever always delicious ?”
“Great restaurant highly recommend. Food was unique and very tasty. The chef has a real flair for putting flavors together. My friend and I enjoyed a red beet appetizer and. ricotta salad.

“Absolutely amazing and unique place with is own charming atmosphere and vibe. The cocktails are out of this world - both in flavors and (especially) in presentation. State of the art!”
“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!”
“I really enjoyed my take-out food and will be going back. Well packed and generous. Positive energy in this restaurant!”
“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 !!”

“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”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 🤗”
“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!”
“This is genuinely crazy.. i was using the subway app to place an order for lunch, i meant to place the order for the tuscany boulevard location, but instead i placed it across the city at this walden gate location closer to home, i forgot to change it🤦🏾♂️ tried to cancel the order in app but couldnt find the setting, so i just accepted that i wasted my money, but low and behold, an angel called my phone, calls me about the order, i tell her i placed it at the wrong location, and she offers for me to come later so they can remake the order. I tell her im probably not getting off work until like 5. So in my head im thinking “damn this girl is probably not gonna be working, will the other workers on the clock at 5 do it for me?” So come 5 o clock i remembered this on the way home, called in, and asked the workers currently on if they were able to do it. And guess what, they did! This level level of dedication is insanity, this level of customer service is unheard of.. there was absolutely no obligation for them to do this, in fact greedy corporate leaders would probably say to take my money and save the food resources, but the dedication to customer service from this woman was too high, i want to recommend everyone involved for an immediate promotion. Talbir and khush were the workers that were in at 5 o clock, but as for the girl at lunch who called me to let me know to get my sandwich, i forgot to ask for her name. All I know was that she was working monday aug 10th, 2026 around noon to recieve the order, she needs a promotion badly, this level of dedication to service must not go unrewarded, there needs to be more incentive for stuff like this. God bless everyone involved”
“I particularly liked this A&W. No drive thru meant that dining in customers were actually prioritized lol. (novel concept!). The food was hot and prepped fresh even the fries! It wasn't overly crowded and I liked the dining room atmosphere here. I'll be looking for ways to go to this location when I want A&W. Keep up the good work you guys!”
“Visited for our anniversary and was perfectI very nice cozy restaurant with an amazing menu. We had Beef tatar , frites , and a platter of desser. Everything tasted so great.
Beautiful ambience however it could be bit noisy . Great friendly staff.”
“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 a nice little hidden spot for Shaanxi dishes! There is parking in the back,but you might need to park nearby and walk over. I got the cumin lamb noodles and Roujiamo/Chinese hamburger 😋💕 The noodles were soft and chewy(for next time tho I might ask for more more spice) I definitely wanna come back and try the other dishes like the different dumpling soups 👀👀👀”
“So good! The food and service are 6⭐️ - I cannot recommend Jerusalem Shawarma enough. They really care about their business and customers. The portions are huge - great value for a hungry person. Try the lentil soup as well. I am not from Calgary but I’ll be sure to stop here whenever I pass by.”
“It was my best experience with Subway, not that I didn’t order here before but Today was the big order and all foot long subs, other location cancelled my online order just 30 minutes before scheduled delivery then I went to this location to get the food.
They completed my order in 15-20 minutes which was perfect.
Definitely recommend this location, they truly care about their customer and their hospitality.
Thank again to both Boys, don’t know their names.”

“Had a wonderful experience at GoGI KITCHEN ! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the sides were delicious too.

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 ?”

“This Mediterranean deli is so completely underrated. It has hands-down, the absolute best Shawarma and Food in Calgary. Don’t even try the others. They’re Shawarma are packed with so much meat and their prices are incredibly good. Pita bread is fresh oh my God I’m salivating just thinking about it. I’ll travel an hour for one of their Shawarma they are that good.”
“A wonderful example of a Greek tavern in Calgary is Santorini, where Brian and I enjoyed dinner without reservations and were still warmly accommodated. We were personally served by Louie, whose hospitality made the entire evening unforgettable. He recommended an exceptional Greek Cabernet Sauvignon wine, along with some of the most delicious Greek appetizers, main platters, and desserts we have ever had. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere welcoming, and the service truly amazing. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Greek dining experience in Calgary.”
“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!”
“I came to the city to see a client and did not realize how popular this restaurant is. I needed a reservation same day and Shawn was amazing. He worked the schedule out to accommodate us!! Great experience Really appreciate the care and effort!!”
“The food is fabulous & flavourful, as well as reasonably priced. The decor is charming. The owner, Christina, also charming. Lots of frozen vegan dim sum yummies to buy as well as sauces & hard-to-find Asian goodies! 10/10!”
Fine Dining
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I tried Modern Steak since my mom was craving a halal burger and they have a wagyu burger option. We were seated quickly without waiting even though it was busy. The wait time was a little long and it was a little hard to catch our waitress, but I don’t blame them since it was busy. I got a halal ribeye steak and it was cooked just right. The quality was also worth the price. The wagyu burger in my opinion was a little lacklustre, but wagyu is always best simple so it was alright. The star of dinner was the Baked Alaska. Absolutely delicious. I would come back just to eat the Baked Alaska again. Definitely recommend for steak and just to try the Baked Alaska.”
“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!”

If we ever visit Calgary again, we are definitely coming back to your restaurant.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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! 🤍”
“Visiting the city for a conference and we made reservations. The restaurant is in a beautiful older building with elegant and charming architecture. Our table decided on the 5 course tasting menu of the night, and it was a lovely culinary experience. Coming from a small town, it was an opportunity to try dishes aren't available anywhere near where I live. Everything was executed beautifully and tasted amazing. The service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. The overall experience was relaxing and fun as we spent a little over 2 hours enjoying the food, drinks, and conversation around the table. Highly recommend and I will return on a future trip to Calgary.”
“My husband and I had dinner last Tues. We have been here numerous times and it is always consistent. This location always leaves the best impressions! From hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, with beautiful presentation, and a wide variety wine list. Our server Chloe was the best. Her personality and always smiling made the experience even more pleasant.. Every restaurant needs service and meals like Joeys”
“The owner is so sweet and the drinks are so yummy!! 10/10 would recommend”

“Iwas in the neighborhood and stopped in at Pathway Momo in the SW (8855 Macleod Trail). I've never had momo or Nepalese food before, and Iwas blown away! I was on my own so I only got to try one kind, but l'm absolutely brining my family here to try a variety of dishes. The space was modest, but clean. The staff were friendly, and the plain pork momos were incredible! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!”
“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!”

We called the restaurant, and they were OUTSTANDING... they spent time to help with sincerity and true customer service. And the food was EXCELLENT ..... can't recommend this restaurant (or its staff) any higher.”
“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.”
“pizza was absolutely delicious, crust was crunchy and toppings were amazing... We will be back most definitely.. Service was wonderful”
“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.”
“Hands down one of the best pizza spots in Calgary! They serve true, authentic Italian-style pizza that tastes absolutely amazing. There’s plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is always great. The desserts are also delicious and definitely worth saving room for. This has become my go-to spot for authentic Italian pizza in the city and is an absolute must-try!”

We'll be back again for another great dining experience!”
“I was passing through Calgary on the way to Grand Cache and this place was a 3 min walk from my hotel. The outside didn’t look like much, but the atmosphere inside was nice and relaxing. The food was incredible! Very nice presentation and a ton of flavor. I had the clay pot rice with duck breast and it was perfect. The kimchi that came with it was excellent as well. They also had a cool selection of unique cocktails. If I am ever in Calgary again I will definitely stop back.”
“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.”
“Excelente! me hizo sentir muy cerca de mí amado PERÚ 🇵🇪❤️”
“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!”
“Best jjajangmyeon place!! I always drive here from banff whenever I want to eat jjajangmyeon and it is so worth it! Highly recommended and the staffs are very helpful and nice!”
“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 !”
“Vegetarian and gluten free options available, and knowledgable staff helped my partner pick a suitable gluten free meal. According to my partner, the gluten free bread was impressively good!”
“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!”
“Exceptional quality and top-notch service! Shibuya serves outstandingly fresh sushi, oysters, and a fantastic variety of dishes, all presented beautifully. The owners and entire team are exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and attentive, creating a truly unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for amazing food with genuine hospitality!”
“This would be five across the board. However we were ushered out due to a lineup. I do not blame them as we got caught post meal in conversation and lost track of time. However the message could have been delivered in a more customer friendly way. I may not return because of this even though the food and people are generally amazing.”
“My family and I love coming here- it's our fav sushi spot, and the ramen here is undeniably the best in the city.
The sashimi is thick and fresh- they are very generous with the size. They have great deals every day of the week and the servers have always been amazing! Definitely worth checking out 😊”
“On a flight from Calgary to Regina for the first time, I Tried their local legend Lager. Great flavor and pallet. Awesome. Maybe one day see it on Vancouver Island.”
“Larissa the bartender is top notch. Makes a well balanced drink and is a pleasure to talk to.”
“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!!”
“Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and food! The design of the restaurant got great vibes. Plates are beautiful, futomaki was yummy (close to be authentic Japanese futomaki)! Black sesame tiramisu was yummy too. I am now wanting to dine at Omakase the next.”
“Went here for the first time tonight. Very nice little place. Top notch service and the food was excellent. Their pork literally melts in your mouth, and the broth was so flavourful. Will definitely be back!”
“Shout out to Harleen, always greeting with a big smile. She helped me with my order and I left with a very good experience. Thank you for your kind service. Will be coming back again.”
“Was at the University District Canadian Brewhouse location last night for my free Birthday nachos and Sunday special Pizza. Was a wonderful evening and food was beyond delicious. We had Ashleigh as a server and she was amazing. Me and my parents will definitely keep going back to this location”
“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.”
“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!”
“Bar Gigi is much more than a great meal—it is a small restaurant with a very distinct personality.
We sat outside on a cool early-fall evening and tried several dishes. The prawn toast was rich and buttery, brightened beautifully by yuzu. The Hokkaido scallop crudo was delicate and refreshing, while the charred cabbage—perhaps the humblest ingredient on the menu—was one of the most memorable dishes of the night. It perfectly reflects chef Sandro’s philosophy: “There are no boring ingredients, only boring chefs.”
What makes Bar Gigi special is the story and spirit behind it. Sandro Chinea, Jaden Kanomata and Kayla Blomquist left established restaurants to create something of their own, transforming an old fish-and-chip shop into this intimate 20-seat neighbourhood gem. The atmosphere is lively, relaxed and unpretentious, while the cooking is confident and highly creative.
It is small, crowded and a little noisy—and that is part of its charm. Bar Gigi feels less like a formal fine-dining restaurant and more like being invited to a very talented friend’s dinner party.
One of the most interesting and memorable meals I’ve had in Calgary. Reservations are difficult to get, but absolutely worth the effort.”
“Went for lunch today with a small group.... so tasty, decent portion sizes and pleasant service. Appreciate the ability to control the spice! Next time I am going for the full thai spicy! Make time for this neighborhood hidden gem!”
“Sushi AOI
I started with the miso soup and it was the most flavourful iteration of that dish I think I’ve had in Calgary. Perfectly seasoned. I liked that the bowl came with a lid so it stayed hot. 10/10
Next, the seaweed salad. Solid. 8/10
The edamame rolled in at a 6/10. Nothing wrong with it but I like when they use maldon salt instead of table salt. It was acceptably okay.
Then, I ordered three types of tuna nigiri to compare:
1. Tuna- this was buttery and fell apart in my mouth 8/10
2. Red Tuna- had a way more distinct flavour to it. Less buttery, more structure. A little fishy, in a good way. 8.5/10
3. Toro (tuna belly)- less flavourful and very obviously the fattiest part of the fish. I think this was the most expensive but it was my least favourite. 6/10
The only roll I got was the salmon avocado roll and it’s maybe the best salmon sushi I’ve ever had. The salmon tasted so fresh and there was a really generous portion of it. Same with the avocado. This was perfectly dreamy. I’ll come back just for this.
Service was sweet and efficient. The interior was cool and quiet. Even the nigiri I didn’t like as much was due to my palate, not a reflection of the quality of the food here.”
“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.”
“Really enjoyed the tacos and soup here during our time in Banff!”
“The food here is was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We were even lucky enough to have the chef make an appearance tonight with some of the guest during our dinner service to check in on the guest. I honestly can't wait to come back and dine here again on my next visit to town.”
“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.”
“Amazing food, staff are so sweet and personable. Had the best time 100% would recommend.”
“We hold VIP PACKAGE and just love partake 3 dinner shows each year. Prime Rib is excellent & pairing suggestions are superb 👌. Great casting & production, very excellent services at table. Will never give up our annual VIP Renewal. Sometimes we have guests and pay special rate for them.”
“Eating at Pacini is like eating at home…Sid, our server greets us at the door like a good good friend every time we visit, which is quite often. Sid pays particular attention to our needs, making suggestions, and making us feel welcome with his cheerful disposition and interesting conversation. Sid not only knows our names but what kind of food we like. We enjoy his subtle ways of engaging at just the right time. Sid is definitely aware of our time in the restaurant. Thank you Sid, you are a god send in the service world. We look forward to each and every time we choose to dine with Pacini and their modern yet traditionally Italian cuisine. Wendy and Bob Modeland”
“If you're the type of person who loves flavors and Indian food, you definitely have to visit this gem, Om Cuisine of India. The décor of the place makes the ambiance even more enjoyable, and what can we say about the food? It exceeded our expectations; everything was delicious. The fish was delightful, and they surprised us with a complimentary dessert, complete with candles, because we were celebrating my son's birthday. This is definitely a place to return to.”
“It’s really wonderful food. Amazing like a live in & testing Tokyo Japan. Hana Sushi’s restaurant”

We will be back to get our T shirts!”

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!”

“The best cafe I have been in Calgary.
The mango-coconut muffin and the latte, just amazing. The muffin especially, was perfectly sweet, which brought out the flavours so well. The mango filling in the middle and the mango chunks in there, just heavenly. Such a great ambience. Super clean, great service. While I was here, I felt like everything my eyes fell on was put there with so much care and purpose. It’s so great to be in a place that someone has put together with so much passion for the work they do. Because the entrance to the cafe is not through the front, but through a side door past a main door, anytime someone opens the door you are not startled by the road noise. As someone who loves to be in places with minimal noise interruptions, I really appreciate the tiny little bell when the door opens. It just makes the sweetest little ‘ting’ as compared to the loud electronic‘TING TONG’. The song was played on the perfect volume too, not overwhelming the space at all. A more selfish part of me wants to keep this cafe a secret for just myself. But a better part of me wants everyone to know. And an amazing cafe like this makes me want to get a loudspeaker out and just scream out the great things about this place, till everyone gets Frida’s mango muffins.”

“A true hidden gem! I discovered Kin Dee while in Calgary for a month-long deployment for the G7, and it quickly became one of my favorite lunch spots. The Lao-Thai dishes are fresh, flavorful, and affordable. As someone with Lao roots, I really appreciated the authentic Lao options on the menu—hard to find and beautifully done. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. Sad to leave, but I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Highly recommend!”
“THE BEST PERUVIAN FOOD IN THE CITY, A LITTLE PRICEY BUT DELICIOUS ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY THE ATTENTION IS GREAT ALBA AND FIORELLA ARE GREAT VEY HELPFULL AND RESOURCEFUL. THE OWNER I BELIEVE A YOUNG MAN VERY KIND. SO , WE LOVE THE EXPERIENCE AND DEFINETELY WE ARE GOING BACK.”
“We’ve been going to this Bubble Tea place and we loved it! Lots of Bubble Tea selection, fresh fruit smoothies, relaxing atmosphere and delicious pastries. I even tried their Dubai inspired chocolate strawberry pistachio dessert and I love it so much! We’ll keep coming back!”
“A true hidden gem and place I have been going to since it opened.
I love how it is tucked away in the neighbourhood while being close to the university and other shopping areas.
One con is I wish it stayed open later so I could come after work.
But one of the best places for all kinds of cake! My friends know me to be quite picky with cake as I do a lot of at home baking, but this place always knocks it out of the ballpark! A homerun everytime.”
