Guys, I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Japanese restaurant in Calgary. Globefish Sushi and Izakaya is located outside of Chinook Mall, right next to the Shopper’s Drug Mart entrance. If you think Japanese cuisine revolves only around sushi, then you should pay this restaurant a visit, it will change your perspective. The first…
Located just off Macleod Trail on 58th Avenue, Oriental Phoenix is the perfect place to grab a great Vietnamese meal before a movie or trip to Chinook mall, a mere five to ten minute walk away. With attentive service, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious vermicelli bowls, this is a great place to go for a…
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…
A while back, I had experienced the incredible food at Africana eatery. Having served Calgarians for over three years, this East Indian/East African Fusion satisfied even my picky tastes, despite the fact that I usually refrain from trying spicy Indian cuisines due to my overly sensitive palate. In fact, Africana puts a new twist on…
Japanese + Italian. Yes, that’s right! While it may sound a little odd at first (I mean, Asian with European food – that’s almost like pouring spaghetti sauce on a bowl of rice and topping it with wiggly octopus tentacles protruding from raw meat balls), Carino is seriously one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Calgary. Though…
Today being Sunday, I thought it was appropriate to write an article on Sunday brunch. I mean, who doesn’t like brunch? You get all the delicious breakfast foods that you love and enjoy so much, but you don’t have to rush your meal to go and catch the bus. It’s perfect! The big thing I…
Alice in Wonderland has been definitely one of my favourite stories of all time. Now, I know Japan has some pretty amazing stuff – but this… this is beyond amazing! The designers Eiichi Maruyama and Katsunori Suzuki were able to recreate Lewis Carroll’s renowned work into a real world restaurant/cafe (unfortunately, it is in Japan!) Here is the pictorial evidence……
Calling all those who are fans of Japanese cuisine…! (Or those who are willing to try it!) Wa’s is a Japanese restaurant I’ve been to literally more than a dozen times now, and what can I say – their food is amazing every single time. Their food quality is very consistent; the sashimi always fresh…
The River Café is widely known in Calgary as a great dine; one of the best in town. Nothing could be better than to head to a wonderful restaurant after strolling around Prince’s Island.
“It’s not fusion… it’s Alloy. Fusion is so last decade.” – Calgary Herald Tucked in between industrial buildings, industrial sites, quiet lush greens, shy from the public’s glare – all but a few minutes’ drive from the populous Chinook Mall – lies a neat, cozy restaurant that brings fused cultures to life. As one walks…
Recent news: on July 4, Canada Safeway has announced that by 2015, it plans to only sell sustainably-farmed seafood. I must confess that the news, when I first heard it, made me feel something like this: Safeway’s promise puts it in the company of many other major supermarket chains that have committed to selling nothing…

Recently, I dined at the Italian restaurant known as Dolce Sapori. Located directly above Ristorante Pulcinella, known for their authentic Napolentana pizza, Dolce Sapori provides fine Italian dining. Appetizers, salads, authentic pastas, and savory entrées are just the beginning of treasures to be found here. Food ranging from Tuscan Bruschetta to Gamberone in Aqua Pazzo, as well as Linguine…

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…
