Higher Ground has had great success with its three-course vegetarian meals, and now the Calgary Downtown Association is teaming up with a list of the city’s top restaurants to provide three-course meals at a set rate from March 5th-14th. Lunches will be served for either $15 or $25, and dinners for $25 or $35. Although this might be a little pricey for most of our wallets, it’s a great opportunity to splurge a little bit for the opportunity to experience a higher-end restaurant at a discount.
Of the participating restaurants, Koi is one of my favourites. They describe themselves as a “blend of passionate people pooling their skills to…support local people, art and culture,” and this shows in the small, intimate venue just off of 11th Ave on 1st Street S.W. Koi offers local talent a space to showcase their skills by hosting open-mic nights, live DJs, and visual exhibits. All this on top of their delectable vegetarian-based menu.
If the tight urban atmosphere isn’t your thing, there’s guaranteed to be something to suit your preferences on the Dine-Out list. Either way, if you’re feeling adventurous this coming month and have some extra money to spend, try exploring one of our local culinary talents.
