Top 10 Best Restaurants: Calgary

March 8, 2012

Our highly subjective ranking of the best places to eat and drink right
now:


Best Brunch: AKA
Winebar

I almost hesitate to spread the word for fear that
youll take my table, but this bistro has a killer weekend brunch and
theres rarely a line to get in. AKA Winebar, 709 Edmonton Tr. N.E.,
Calgary, 403-984-7534, www.akawinebar.com

Best Korean: Anju
Look
for the little house among the downtown condo towers. Once you get
there, dig into tapas Korean-style with tofu kimchi, oxtail tortellini
or baby back ribs. Anju, 507 10 St. S.W., Calgary, 403-532-9419, www.anju.ca

Best Diner:
Blue Star Diner

During the day its chili-stuffed grilled
cheese, veggie burgers and eggs Benny, but at night this diner is all
about whisky and tacos. Blue Star Diner, 809 1 Ave. N.E., Calgary,
403-261-9998, www.bluestardiner.ca

Best Burgers:
Boogies Burgers

The golden rule of ordering is choose an item
that is named after someone and get the special sauce. At this retro
burger bar, I get the Sams Burger every time. Boogies Burgers, 908
Edmonton Tr. N.E., Calgary, 403-230-7070, www.boogiesburgers.com

Best Prix-Fixe:
Charcut Roast House

A perfect example of how even those on a
budget can afford the best restaurants. Charcuts Lunch All At Once comes
with a soup and sandwich as well as a bag of warm cookies for $15.
Charcut Roast House, 899 Centre St. S. Calgary, 403-984-2180, www.charcut.com

Best Vegetarian: The
Coup

A veggie restaurant carnivores will love, The Coup also
has an epic drink menu that takes advantage of its penchant for fresh
juices. The Coup, 924 17 Ave. S.W., 403-541-1041, www.thecoup.ca

Best Local
Ingredients: Cilantro

Its a carbohydrate face-off between the
flatbreads topped with ingredients from the restaurants own ranch or the
pasta made in house and topped with those same stellar ingredients.
Cilantro, 338 17 Ave. S.W., 403-229-1177, www.crmr.com/cilantro

Best Destination:
Crazyweed

Consider the scenic drive into the mountains an
appetizer for a wicked fusion meal. Last time I was there I loved my
sweet potato lasagna but coveted my friends Vietnamese pork meatballs.
Crazyweed, 1600 Railway Ave., Canmore, 403-609-2530, www.crazyweed.ca

Best Pizza:
Double Zero Pizza

Get a few friends together, park for free
in the Cores parkade right below. Take the elevator up and share the
roasted cauliflower salad followed by the mushroom and mortadella
pizzas. Double Zero Pizza, 751 Fourth St. S.W., 403-265-9559, www.doublezeropizza.ca

Best Bakery:
Ladybug Bakery & Espresso Bar

This place can get bonkers
busy, but it has that bustling European café vibe, which is helped by
the Belgian pastry chef and his baked goods, crepes and salads. Ladybug
Bakery & Espresso Bar, 10 Aspen Stone Blvd., 403-249-5530, www.ladybugandcafe.com

No grogginess in the morning just a calm, pacific feeling up front bed. With an increment of, they have knowledge of great, unlike some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at key, but after daily using them, I can definitely bruit about they avoid with unwinding after a great day. If you’re looking representing a ordinary means to the sniffles without any weird side effects, CBD gummies are worth trying. Unbiased provoke unflinching you provoke a grade tag with third-party testing!
