The Eddie Burger and Bar serves great burgers and drinks for a casual dine-in at Downtown Banff. After arriving at Banff (at 2:30PM), I immediately made my way down to Eddie to have lunch because I was starving. My first restaurant choice (Chaya) was closed, so instead I ate at Eddie’s since it is highly-rated […]
Comfortable at Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave
Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave is the second location of the Calgary-based roaster.

Retro Cafe at Vintage Caffeine Co in Kensington
After eating brunch at the wildly popular Dairy Lane Cafe, we decided to have coffee at a newly-opened cafe that was so raved about called Vintage Caffeine Co.

Blue square tables with a metal rim, leather seats, big […]

Elegant Pizza at Posto Pizzeria and Bar

Nitrogen Ice Cream at Nice Cream Calgary

Sushi Hanami is a Favourite for Japanese & Korean Food
Sushi Hanami is a restaurant near MRU that has become a family (and my) favourite for filling Japanese and Korean food. Because Mount Royal University is their next door neighbour, Sushi Hanami is quite a popular eatery for students nearby. One of my friend who goes to MRU introduced me to this place. It’s also […]
