Over the spring break, I was fortunate enough to visit my favourite city: San Francisco. I actually used to live there for about three years but my family never quite explored the city and saw all that it had to offer. So on this trip, we did it all and enjoyed the various wonderful things that…
Location: 455 16 Ave NE Calgary (Click for map) Website: http://www.bubblemaniacafe.com My first impression of Bubble Mania when I first entered was that its interior design was impressively modern. Although food is a vital factor in rating a restaurant, I am a person who is faithful to aesthetics as well even if the matter pertains to eating. My favourite…
Calgary has a rich culture of delicious local restaurants and Big Fish (1112 Edmonton Trail NE) is no exception to that. Delicious seafood paired with a casual yet upscale atmosphere and friendly service made for a highly enjoyable experience. My first impression was that the building itself…
With Family Day in the near past, many families find themselves wondering which restaurant would be a suitable destination for Mother’s or Father’s Day plans. The age old dilemma when it comes to eating out is finding a restaurant that keeps everyone satisfied with their meal, and it is often hard for everyone to agree…
With two locations in Calgary, I’ve been wanting to try eating at Famoso for a while. They boast unique, quality ingredients and an authentic, Italian cooking process. They did not disappoint. My overall experience at Famoso was phenomenal, with the exception of a few minor things. The scenery of the restaurant was very modern, with…
On every Urbanspoon (a trending website!) restaurant review page, the “opinions” section always has a “blog posts” section: Their Spoonback feature enables your food reviews for specific food places to be shown in that section! Letting readers access your food review blogs that way is very advantageous. If you click back to some of my food reviews, you’ll see…
Great schnitzel is hard to find outside of Bavarian cities like Kimberly, which is why I’m happy to say I’ve finally found a place. Not only is the schnitzel delicious at Wiener-Schnitzel Haus, but they also serve six different variations on the traditional German dish. One thing to note is the portions are huge; an…
Thai Nongkhai, an authentic Thai restaurant located on Macleod Trail, next to Desperados, provides a much needed relief from the dull Thai found in a mall cafeteria. A quick fifteen-minute walk from Chinook Mall, the restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner. A perfect selection for authentic Thai food, whether one is looking for…
How I wish I were in Greece right now instead of Calgary. *Frowns* I guess it’s fine if I get a real nice taste of their food and culture somewhere. *Smiles*…Except I won’t get the amazing vacation feeling. *Frowns again* My complaints out of boredom aside (I really have to stop daydreaming), this was my…
Maybe it’s your birthday. Maybe you just won a full-ride university scholarship, and it’s time to celebrate in style. Or maybe, you just really, really like steak. Whatever your purpose, Ruth’s Chris offers a high class environment and excellent food. Located at the base of the Calgary Tower (294, 115-9th Avenue SE), Ruth’s Chris Steak…
I have always been a huge fan of the Cactus Club cafe, so I was really excited when YAA gave me a $50 gift certificate to spend at their restaurant. When you first walk into the restaurant it’s a bit of a change. The inside is quite dark but candles and lights make up for…
Il Giardino: “The Ultimate in Italian Food and Fun,” 344 – 17 Ave S.W. I was fortunate enough to receive a gift certificate to write a restaurant spotlight. I took my parents, who were very excited. I’m glad I took them, since my dad is quite the cuisine connoisseur and his enthusiasm for the restaurant…
Three days after my own birthday and the day after my friend’s, my parents took us out to Boston Pizza to celebrate with a meal. For appetizers we had nachos, which would have been good if not for the cheese; it seemed too much like liquid to me, and the salsa was much too spicy…
