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 […]
Awesome Tropical Drinks at Mango Mania
Mango Mania is my new favourite go-to bubble tea/dessert drink cafe in Calgary! The dessert shop opened in Calgary during summer 2016, so it is still relatively new to the Calgary food scene. However, it’s since quickly become a gem in the dessert drink shop game. My sister and cousin brought me here for the […]
Bubble Tea at Chatime in Chinatown

Lunch at Eddie Burger and Bar in Banff
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 […]
Old School Coffeehouse at Caffe Beano
There’s a cafe on 17th Avenue that is highly reminiscent of old-school diners and coffeehouses called Caffe Beano. Cafe Beano is a quaint and local cafe frequented by locals, and my first impression was that it reminded me of drive-in diners from those 60s movies. Blue square tables with a metal rim, leather seats, big […]

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 […]
