I needed a few seconds to get my bearings when I walked into Giuseppe’s Italian Deli and Market. Because it’s a deli, market, cafe and pizzeria, it’s one of those places where you have to order at one counter and pay at another. Giuseppe’s does dinner and jazz nights but I visited for lunch. [...]
It seems the owners of Muse and winebar (and AKA) are intent on taking over the corner of Kensington Road and 11th Street with the opening of Brasserie Kensington. The new restaurant is right above winebar, where an interior design store used to be. It’s been transformed with the requisite dark wood tables, chairs and [...]
Beefy, beefy, yum pretty much sums up the Cowtown Beef Shack. The Shack serves roasted AAA Angus beef from High River on big, fresh baguettes. To add to its distinctiveness is the fact it is an eight by 12 feet shed kitted out with an oven and airplane-like bathroom. Two people, including owner Brad Johnson, take [...]
The Cultural Centre Restaurant opened four months ago in the lower level of the blue-pagoda building in Chinatown. It’s run by the same people who own U & Me Restaurant and the MBA BBQ Noodle House. I’ve been there for lunch which left me less than impressed, and then I went back for a hot [...]

Many people who live in the area are loyal customers, packing the slightly dated dining room (sponge painted murals and fake plants) for lunch [...]
Kim Chi House is one of Jason’s fabulous lunch finds when he was working near Chinatown. It’s located in the same City Plaza building as Hans Restaurant, a Taiwanese/Szechuan place that’s one of my Calgary favourites. Kim Chi House is actually part of the tiny food court. After you order, your food is brought to [...] Boxwood is a tiny building in the cleaned-up Central Memorial Park. If you’re driving by, it kinda looks like a modern storage shed or a really nice public bathroom because the back of the structure faces the street. If you’re walking through the park, you can see the fantastic patio (when there isn’t two feet [...]
Wake Bistro has opened up where Fiasco Gelato used to be in Kensington. It focuses on breakfast and lunch which is pretty smart in an area dominated by pub food. The menu is short and manageable with mostly things in between bread, soup and daily dessert specials. On weekends, it expands to include omelettes and [...] |
