Places where we dinned
ANEJO – Calgary
We had passed this neighborhood restaurant, its patio filled with 20 and 30 something’s….with 200 types of tequila’s behind the bar and a happy hour offering half price tacos and drinks….we decided to join the fray. Continue reading ANEJO – Calgary
CALGARY FARMER’S MARKET
The ABC Farmers’ Market Society was founded in April 2003, as a non-profit society. The “ABC” in the society’s name is for the Alberta and British Columbia farmers who make up the society. Continue reading CALGARY FARMER’S MARKET
LUNCH AT THE CALGARY TOWER
We don’t generally do all the obvious touristy things…however an exceptions was made for The Calgary Tower. Built in l967 it is the highest 360° observation deck in the world. The bright red space needle is visible from anywhere in Calgary. During our stay it has been my constant companion. I know exactly where I am by just looking up. Continue reading LUNCH AT THE CALGARY TOWER
ROUGE RESTAURANT – Inglewood
I love food….doesn’t have to be fine dining, just good. If you are looking for fine dining, look no further than Rouge situated on the Bow River in the historic district of Inglewood just over the bridge from downtown Calgary. Continue reading ROUGE RESTAURANT – Inglewood
PARC BRASSERIE – Mt. Royal
I had a girl’s luncheon with a friend who lives in Calgary. She chose Parc Brasserie in Mount Royal. It is located on 16th Street and is adjacent to a small green neighborhood park….just like one would find in Paris. Continue reading PARC BRASSERIE – Mt. Royal
U & ME – China Town Calgary
We scoured China Town for the best dim sum restaurant in preparation for our trip to China this October. U & Me is rated number one and we concur. Continue reading U & ME – China Town Calgary
BOCCE – Calgary
Okay, okay….if you have been reading our travel posts, you can tell we (really me) love food and I generally plan our destinations around access to good food and wine. That is only one of the reasons Beaver, Utah won’t be a return destination. Continue reading BOCCE – Calgary
CILANTRO – Calgary
We have biked all day and I want a brake from the kitchen. While I have enjoyed the opportunity to cook in Calgary…it is nice to go out. Cilantro has been recommended to us by the same friend that has impeccable taste in food, art and style in general. Continue reading CILANTRO – Calgary
VERO BISTRO MODERNE – Kensington
We’re headed down the bike path toward Kensington, a small gentrified district across the 10th Street Louise bridge which connects Downtown West End with Memorial Drive. It’s late morning and we are hungry. We walk the streets and pass several eateries, nothing has appealed to our senses. Continue reading VERO BISTRO MODERNE – Kensington
