 Craving falafel? |
2208 4th St SW Calgary, AB T2S 1W9 Canada +1 403 541 1189 |
This Lebanese restaurant is perfect for a midday falafel sandwich or evening couscous feed. The menu features a large selection of traditional Middle Eastern specialties such as mezza, kabobs, lamb chops, shwarma, and baklava. There are also Lebanese twists on western dishes: Aida's Caesar salad is tossed with pita chips and orange blossom water flavours her lemonade. Those unfamiliar with Lebanese cuisine need not worry: the menu gives detailed descriptions of each dish to assist neophyte diners who don't know their rookaak from their tabouleh.

 A celebration of steak |
237 8 Avenue Southeast Calgary, AB T2G 5C3 Canada +1 403 264 9494 |
Inhabiting the historic Burns Building, this restaurant is a perfect spot to enjoy Calgary's contribution to world cuisine: fine steaks. The menu features an array of contemporary entrees including rack of lamb, salmon, and chicken breast. The focus here, however, is beef. Drinkwaters offers three different cuts of Alberta AAA Beef in portions ranging from petite 6oz portions to impressive 14oz steaks. The room itself is beautiful with enormous pillars reaching to a high, curved ceiling and the lounge is a classy spot for a bit of spirits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eat like an Egyptian |
937 7 Avenue SW Calgary, AB T2P 1A5 Canada +1 403 282 0030 |
This restaurant specializes in tasty Egyptian cuisine and Middle Eastern groceries. The menu includes such traditional Egyptian fare as kusheri, kebabs, kofta, and shawarma, as well as decidedly non-Egyptian pizza. There is a children's menu and dinner combinations that match sandwiches, kebabs and kofta with tasty salads and bread. Their Arabic coffee is wonderful. The decor is simple; the walls are hung with replica Pharaonic art and papyrus. The grocery is stocked with cardamom coffee, lentils and spices as well as Egyptian pastries and deli meats.

Classic Italian and Mediterranean |
1001 1 Street SW 10 Avenue Southwest and 1 Stree Southwest Calgary, AB T2R 0T8 Canada +1 403 263 1112 |
This new Italian restaurant occupies a charming old building in Calgary's downtown. The interior walls feature large and garish murals of Italian scenes, and the intimate tables are set with classy linens and candles. Both the lunch and dinner menu contain classic Italian dishes such as minestrone soup, homemade pasta (angel hair with snow crab is especially popular), and traditional veal, steak and chicken dishes. There are also a few Middle Eastern dishes such as kebabs and tabouli salad. The wine list is rather small, with most selections available at moderate rates. Review © 2007, Wcities |
