pokemaster Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hey y'all, I am gonna be in calgary for the weekend for the interview and I was wondering if there are any restaurants that I have to try while I'm there that aren't up in edmonton. Preferably by the university area but I like to drive so it doesnt have to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSWschnoodle Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Cattle Baron is great if you're in the mood for a steak and don't mind spending a few bucks :-) No clue if it's also in Edmonton though. If you like Vietnamese there are SO MANY good Vietnamese places in Calgary. Pho Kim is not too far from the U of C and delicious. There are also a bunch of places in town that made various "Top 100" restaurant lists if you want to get fancier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Some ideas: 10 foot henry. Native Tongues. Without Papers pizza - it's the very thin crust type and they have gluten-free. Cibo - Italian, also has wood burning pizza but different. Don't waste your time waiting for Una Pizza...I was sorely disappointed and the resto is too crowded.

Ghostpilots Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hayden Block for hipster whiskey cocktails and delicious BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borborygmi Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Mercato for really tasty family style Italian Deane House for contemporary Canadian (tasting menu or a la carte) Jimmy's A&A for super good donair if you're looking for something huge, quick and delish. Menyatai for ramen Buddha's Veggie Delight for Buddhist Chinese (total hidden Calgary gem) Also agree with 10 Foot Henry I prefer Anejo to Native Tongues (contemporary Mexican), but that's just me Raw Market Collective in Kensington for delish vegan Al Forno for amazing brunch (everyone talks about Vendome, but I think Al Forno is better) Peasant Cheese for super good custom charcuterie boards Village Ice Cream for .... ice cream Made By Marcus for also ice cream because you can never have too much ice cream (their apple pie ice cream, if they still have it..... oh god) Niko's Pizza for amazing, greasy, perfectly golden brown crust, heavy-on-the-cheese pizza Pulcinella for very solid Italian, including home made pasta and very very good wood fire oven pizza. Pho Huong Viet for probably some of the best satay pho I've had (Calgary has really good Vietnamese all-around) Chennai Spice for super good dosa (chili cheese is my fave) I find many people mention Pigeonhole and Model Milk.... I find both pretty overrated. These are my favorite restaurants that I discovered while living in Calgary for med school and I miss them all so much. I've lived in most major cities in Canada and I have to say that Calgary's food scene is very, very excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronAllen Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 First of all, I wish us good luck in the interview! If you want to taste delicious food, then welcome to https://tapatoro.restaurant/restaurant/ restaurant. I am delighted with the kitchen, the perfect Spanish-style interior. The food is always fresh; I have talked with the restaurant owners several times. I liked the steak and beef medallions. Order mushroom sauce for the medallions - it's incomparable! The service staff is always very courteous, trying to serve the client at the highest level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurenttrevino Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Sounds like you've got a great reason to visit Calgary. If you're looking for restaurants around the university area, you should definitely check out "The Coup" for some delicious vegetarian options or "Tubby Dog" for a unique take on hot dogs. But since you're up for driving, don't miss "Anju" for Korean fusion cuisine or "Charcut Roast House" for a fantastic meaty experience downtown. And if you're ever in Dublin, I recently had an amazing breakfast there. I just looked for the best breakfast in Dublin near me and found an awesome spot.
