Calgary Travel Guide

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Calgary…I could go on forever. It’s such a wonderful place – you can quickly head to the mountains, or you can spend time right in YYC! Here are some top suggestions of things to do, and most importantly, places to eat.

Activities

  • Go bowling at National on 10th (Chinook Mall for bowling with kids)
  • Head to Spruce Meadows – depending on the time of year, you can check out professional horse shows, a professional soccer game (the Cavalry), wander through the Christmas lights, or go to the Christmas Market, etc.
  • Go play games at the RecRoom (fun for kids an adults alike)
  • Get tickets for a show at Theatre Calgary or Broadway Across Canada
  • Watch Shakespeare by the Bow (summer only, in Prince’s Island Park – check the schedule, because weather dependent, but it’s pay-what-you-will…pack a picnic and some lovely people)
  • Go to any of the Farmer’s Markets (Blackfoot Farmer’s Market is my favourite)
  • Workout Classes – many options everywhere, depending on style and what area – some noteworthy ones are Hot Shop for Spin & Hot Yoga, Breathe for (hot)yoga, and CrushCamp for an intense workout!
  • Run the “Memorial Stairs” (McHugh Bluff), across from Prince’s Island Park
  • Have a fine dining experience by pre-booking Dine Under the Stars (seasonal in Fish Creek Park)
  • Check out what Festivals are available – Lilac Festival, Veg Fest, Taste of Calgary, Grape Escape, Beer Fest, to name a few
  • Visit Heritage Park for everything from rides for kids to a train for the whole family, the Gasoline Alley Museum to high tea, and everything else in between
  • Rent out a Pedal Pub (take the pedal pub to breweries, and have a blast singing, dancing, and pedalling your way to all of them!)
  • Take a walk in Prince’s Island Park (and go see the Peace Bridge)
  • Take a walk in Fish Creek Provincial Park
  • Head to Granary Road to eat, shop, and maybe do some Goat Yoga (pre-book for that)
  • Go Skating at the Olympic Plaza (seasonal), and while you’re there, you could head up the Calgary Tower if you so desire!
  • Treat yourself and have a spa day at Ca Va Bien
  • Go laugh it up by seeing a comedy show at Yuk Yuk’s
  • If you can be in town for the Calgary Stampede, don’t miss it!

Now to the Food…

Avocado Salad

Ice Cream

  • Made by Marcus
  • Village Ice Cream
  • My Favourite Ice Cream Shoppe
  • Annie’s Cafe (seasonal, adorable little café in Fish Creek Park)

Cafés

  • Monogram Coffee (very unique)
  • Annie’s Cafe (seasonal café in Fish Creek Park)
  • Analog (probably my fav!)
  • Phil & Sebastian’s (treat yourself to the gluten-free chocolate chip banana bread)
  • Nosh by Nourish (completely gluten-free)

Restaurants (Dinner)

  • Anejo (Mexican)
  • Native Tongues (best Mexican!)
  • Blanco Cantina (Taco Tuesday is half-price)
  • Elbow Room (really nice for a group to share)
  • Ten Foot Henry (sharing…one of my fav restaurants in Calgary)
  • Starbelly (in Auburn Bay, but with a downtown feel – get the lamb ribs)
  • River Café (in Prince’s Island Park, so lovely, and all seasonal food)
  • The Coup (vegetarian and vegan, and delicious)
  • Una Pizza (up there with the best pizza in Calgary)
  • PZA (my new fav for pizza – lots of options for GF, vegan, etc.)
  • Pulcinella (more traditional pizza)
  • Tom’s House of Pizza (get the feta pizza!)
  • The Nash (cool vibe, and fun drinks too)
  • Rouge (love the seasonal, local, farm-to-table style)
  • Anju (Fusion)
  • The Ranche (small portions, and very Western feel)
  • Li-Ao (one of my favourite sushi places…get the mango roll)
  • Cactus Club, Joey, and Earls (those three are always safe choices)
  • Naina’s (Stuffed Burgers & intense grilled cheese)
  • Madison’s 1212 (Fun Nachos!)
  • Open Sesame (great for big groups and build your own stir-fry)
  • Tango (good tapas, small-plate sharing-style)
  • Japanese Village Steakhouse (book for a group – dinner lasts only about 90-mins, but they entertain you with a cooking show right in front of you)
  • Bridgette Bar (fun environment, and unique sharing…get the Rigatoni!)
  • The Lake House (worth it for the water setting alone!)

Quick Lunch

  • Seed N Salt (healthy, quick downtown lunch)
  • The Dandelion (vegetarian and vegan)
  • Jusu (great juices and bowls)
  • Freshii (always!)
  • Chopped Leaf (and again…always!)

Brunch

  • Brok’in Yolk (farm-to-table style)
  • Coras (classic crepes)
  • OEB Breakfast Co. (you’ll love it!)

Happy exploring and eating in one of my favourite cities!!
