"Sidewalk Citizen Bakery is a rustic shop known for its organic breads, desserts, and pastries. If you’re interested in something sweet and indulgent, consider the scones, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, cheesecakes, tarts, or flourless chocolate cake. You can also stop by for wholesome dishes that will leave you satisfied, such as the shaved roast beef sourdough sandwich, granola bowl, quiche, or pulled chicken sourdough sandwich."

"This is a great place for kids for the simple reason that you can order at the counter, sit down and enjoy your food, and leave when the red flags of a fussy kiddo start to emerge. There is plenty of upstairs seating with room for strollers, which is always a plus. If the weather’s nice and you’re feeling like a picnic, you can even pre-order your food online (up until 10 am on weekdays) and pick it up to go."

"Galaxie Diner defies all expectations as it serves breakfast as late as 3:00 PM. This diner is headed by Brad Myhre, a long-time patron of smoked meat eateries who insists on using pure maple syrup and real butter on the restaurant’s dishes. Given this taste and background, Galaxie Diner serves breakfast editions of burritos, smoked meat hash, and meat omelettes."

"It’s a thin strip of a restaurant with barely enough room to accommodate the tiny kitchen, line of tables and seats at the counter, which inevitably means there will be a wait. But the kitschy vibe, robust dishes and quick service make it worthwhile — not to mention the endless coffee refills while in line. 1413 11 St. S.W., 403-228-0001, galaxiediner.ca"

"Be prepared to wait in line for this one, but it’s worth it. Galaxie Diner boasts bottomless coffee, toast AND hash browns as well as having the only one price, unlimited choice omelette in Calgary. The unlimited choice omelette allows you to choose any number of fillings for the same price."

"Calgary’s original Red’s Diner is going on its tenth year and still proving to be one of the most popular breakfast and lunch spots on Calgary’s trendy 4th street dining corridor. Their recently updated menu reflects new and classic favourites, all made from scratch adapting to the city’s voracious appetite for comfort food and homestyle […]"

"6 locations in Calgary including Shawnessy (41 Shawville Blvd SE), Southport (10606 Southport Road SW), Market Mall (3625 Shaganappi Trail NW), 8001 11 St SE, 888 7 Ave SW, and 29 Hopewell Way NE. As a kid, Moxie’s was always our favourite restaurant to go to as a family, and as a parent, it’s somewhere I love taking my own kids. The Kids Menu has items that are so tasty, I sneak bites of my son’s food when he isn’t looking (seriously, try the cheeseburger and tell me I’m wrong)."

"1886 Buffalo Cafeonly serves breakfast, so as you’d expect, they’re really good at it. Their menu only has brunch items, breakfast burritos, egg dishes, omelettes, steak, etc. There are a few smaller dishes as well, if you’re not that hungry."

"We’re not sure if the views from the rooftop or the deep-dish pizzas are what make Michael’s more worth a visit; so, you’ll have to come decide yourself!. The patio provides the most iconic Calgary view of all: straight up the Calgary tower. And the pizza is made with authentic local ingredients."

"S.W., right behind the Calgary Tower, and has been 
serving Caesar salads, pizzas and AAA Alberta steaks there since 1981. Its patio on the roof of the adjoining parkade gets rushed at lunch by the downtown office crowd, so make a reservation if you want a spot."

"A post shared by Nando’s Canada (@nandoscanada) on Sep 14, 2017 at 3:46pm PDT. Four years ago, my husband and I tried Nando’s on a trip to London, and were so excited when it opened in Calgary, we drove across the city every chance we got so we could eat there again. Now there are 3 locations, so we’re thankful it’s a lot easier for us to get our fix."

"Nando’s started in South Africa serving up Portuguese style flame-grilled chicken with a PERi-PERi (African Birds Eye Chili) sauce. The atmosphere is relaxed and very family friendly. They have a kids menu which includes chicken skewers, quarter chicken, sliders, chicken strips or chicken wings served with one side and frozen yogurt."

"Bad communication: we weren’t t told that we had to go back to counter to order. Spicy fries with barely any seasonings; forgot avocado in one bowl, warm..."

They are currently not open for visits during the pandemic except for memberships and exhibition submissions, so kindly wait for further announcements about that."

"Friends Cappuccino Bar and Bake shop is a little bit old school, but it’s super cute and incredibly inviting. As far as cozy coffee shops in Calgary go, it’s hard to beat the warm welcome you get at Friends. Where: 45 Edenwold Dr NW #104, Calgary"

"Espresso Cafe offers an impressive 52-item Sunday brunch menu featuring French-inspired baked goods, as well as an array of yogurt, fresh fruits, omelets, vegetables, and more. This brunch spread is certainly perfect if you’re looking for a brunch menu that’s healthy, light, but still filling. And while you’re here, don’t forget to sample some of their fair trade coffee and tea."

"Paddy’s may have been voted one of the best new breweries in Alberta (by Alberta Brewer’s Association), but they also have a menu dedicated to food that is worth a visit. As you try their small batch brews (usually about 8 styles/flavours available at a time) you can delve into their smoked meats, sausage links, and homemade breads. Paddy’s Barbecue & Brewery: 3610 Burnsland Rd SE"

"They know this to be true at Paddy’s, which is equal parts barbecue joint and craft brewery. Show up hungry and tuck into slow-roasted beef brisket, turkey, pork ribs and more, sold by the pound on platters and served with pickles and bread. The rich flavours of barbecue can handle a bold beer, like the IPA-V1-2019, a new IPA series that debuted at the start of 2019."

"Railyard Brewing incorporates their artistic designs in their store and products derived from the traditional and graffitied rail cars carrying malts to breweries. Railyard Brewing is more than just one of the best Calgary breweries, as it is also one of the best venues for small gatherings. You can enjoy your time at their shop with their selection of game equipment, from ping pong tables to ps4 consoles."

"Brüch Bar offers organic and gluten-free kombucha beers and cocktails. They are currently taking tiny steps on growing their business as they aim to become a worldwide producer someday. They are highly-experimental on their drinks that will surely cater to your taste."
