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.

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

Lunch at Deville Coffee on Stephen Avenue
Deville Coffee on Stephen Avenue is a popular cafe in Downtown Calgary, that is possibly most famous for their Nutella lattes. I decided to visit Deville for lunch after visiting Fiesta Filipino at Olympic Plaza earlier that day. Unfortunately for me, most Filipino dishes are meat-based, so I ventured around to find a place to […]
