Ensira Ethiopian Restaurant is a welcomed addition to Calgary’s few Ethiopian eateries! My first taste of Ethiopia was a success at Ensira! Calgary has so many hidden gem eateries, and they are hidden in places a lot of people don’t know about. Some of the best and most authentic ethnic restaurants in Calgary are along […]

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 […]

It’s Happy Hour at Goro + Gun (Goro and Gun)
Goro + Gun (Goro and Gun) apparently serves one of the best ramens in Calgary, but also has a pretty mean happy hour menu! In this visit to Goro + Gun, we decided to check out their happy hour menu, which were all $5 (even the drinks)! We ordered the veggie tempura, edamame, ramen sliders, […]
A (Much) Bigger Monogram Coffee Downtown
Monogram Coffee in Altadore is one of the best cafes in Calgary, and for those centrally-located, there is now a Monogram Coffee Downtown location! The cafe is located in Fifth Avenue Place (office building), so to cater to downtown clients, it must have a lot of tables and seating. So, unlike its Altadore location, the […]
