Via Cibo 14th Street serves delicious Italian street food-inspired dishes in the cozy comfort of a restaurant. We went to Via Cibo on a Tuesday evening (around 6PM), and the restaurant wasn’t too busy or noisy. There are also many tables and seats, so you shouldn’t have to wait for a table. When we arrived, […]

Burgers and (over-the-top) Milkshakes at REGRUB
REGRUB (RE:GRUB) is a small eatery along the Beltline that is quite famous for their extreme milkshakes with crazy toppings! So, this restaurant’s name is puzzling to me. Their website title is #REGRUB, they refer to themselves as RE:GRUB, the restaurant says RE:GЯUB, and their Facebook page says REGRUB. WHICH IS IT?? We came to […]

A Costly Moroccan Dinner at The Casbah Restaurant
The Casbah Restaurant is apparently one of the best Moroccan restaurants in Calgary, but be prepared to pay up for that food. For those who don’t know, a casbah is sort-of a hightower or medina/fortress that identifies a city from atop the hill. When battle ensues, the leader of the town usually hides in the […]

A Very Filling Pakistani Dinner at Mirchi
Every time I walk along 8th Street on the way to 17th Avenue, I always pass by Mirchi on 12th Avenue, a seemingly popular Pakistani cuisine restaurant on the Beltline. Tonight, I was able to finally try this eatery! We came to Mirchi for dinner (on a Saturday), and was surprisingly full. It’s a small, […]

Elegant Pizza at Posto Pizzeria and Bar
When I was working at Husky during my internship last year, I frequented Holy Grill on 10th Ave for lunch, just around the corner from Posto, which I never had the chance to try it. Today, during the lunch hour, I decided to finally try Posto Pizzeria and Bar. My cousin and I arrived at […]
Matcha Soy Latte at Kawa Espresso Bar
On my third (and final) cafe for today’s cafe hopping, I decided to go to Kawa Espresso Bar. Kawa Espresso Bar is a cafe and wineshop that is, perhaps, most famous for the latte art produced by their very talented baristas. The other cafes I visited for the crawl… First cafe: Cafe Blanca Second cafe: […]
Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro is Expensive but Delicious
My friend Max and I follow this guy (Calgaryism) on Instagram a while back, and he always posts his meals at Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro. Inspired, we made it our goal to eat at Monki at least once in our life…and today was the day! Monki is one of the most raved breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant […]
