 Cafe in Fish Creek Park. |
15979 Bow Bottom Trail SE Fish Creek Provincial Park Calgary, AB T2N 5S7 Canada +1 403 225 3920 http://www.bowvalleyranche.com... |
This little café in Fish Creek Park offers a perfect respite from a long day. Because of its location, it is a popular and lively destination for bikers, walkers, and just about anybody who enjoys the outdoors. You can get delicious homemade fare at Annie's along with freshly squeezed orange juice and home brewed coffee, but come early. The line-ups begin as early as 10am. They offer delicious homemade soup and baguette sandwiches, as well as a large selection of baked goods and desserts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brew's the thing |
13226 Macleod Trail Southeast (North of Canyon Meadows Drive) Calgary, AB T2J 7E5 Canada +1 403 225 2790 http://www.calgarymenus.com/ba... |
The newer, South Calgary location of this small chain (a twin outlet is a draw in downtown's Eau Claire Market) does a healthy trade with moviegoers catching films at the Cineplex theatre across the street. The pub has a warm country setting with inviting fireplaces and wood beams. There is also a large heated outdoor patio. A selection of some 24 domestic and imported beers, from Smithwick's to popular local microbrews lines the shelves. The food varies from typical pub finger food to more exotic fare, like the Thai Chicken Wraps. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Expensive but worth it |
100 La Caille Place Southwest (corner of 1 Avenue and 7 Street Southwest) Calgary, AB T2P 5E2 Canada +1 403 262 5554 http://www.lacaille.ca gm@lacaille.ca |
Overlooking the banks of the Bow River, La Caille is a tad expensive, but well worth it, especially if romance is on the agenda. You can choose to sit upstairs in their formal dining room or downstairs by the large stone fireplace. The food is French Continental with offerings such as shrimp, scallops and mussels in a white wine sauce. They also serve game, pasta and beef for their entrees. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Maritimer memorabilia |
24, 15425 Bannister Road Southeast Calgary, AB T2X 3E9 Canada +1 403 254 1200 http://www.calgarysbestpubs.co... dixons@calgarysbestpubs.com |
Dixon's Public House offers a large and varied menu that takes you back east to the salty breezes of the Canadian Maritimes. Try the Guinness and asparagus soup, or their Jack Daniel's barbecued chicken. Although it's a little out of the way, you will be glad you came to check out the food and charm. The decor is reminiscent of an old British pub with all kinds of memorabilia from the Maritimes that decorate the walls. They also have an upstairs and patio seating is available in the warmer months. Review © 2007, Wcities |

More tahini, your majesty. |
803 - 1st Street Southwest Calgary, AB T2P 7N2 Canada +1 403 269 5464 http://www.falafelking.ca/ |
Bored by burgers and sick of subs? This little shop celebrates the king of Middle Eastern fast food: the almighty falafel. The fresh falafel sandwiches here are wonderful; meat-o-philes will love the beef or chicken shawarma. Do not forget to pile the baba ghanouj, homous, and tabouli on the side. Freshly squeezed juices are available to wash it all down. The interior features some bizarre landscape murals and a peculiar collection of knick-knacks that have nothing to do with the cuisine. No matter. Just take your meal to go. Review © 2007, Wcities |
