This was a great breakfast to have and overall a healthier choice. It is also an excellent dish to share with someone you are dining with. This morning, it happened to be that my dad and I went to Cora’s for breakfast. We chose this menu item so we could easily share it between the two of…
We love Mealshare! Who wouldn’t, their hearts are in the right place. They are our community partners on Healthy Dine Out, and here’s why we love them so much: Mealshare is a new non-profit that lets diners turn their dining out into helping out, simply by eating at a partner restaurant. When you order a Mealshare-…
How long has Anejo been open for now? Tell us more about Añejo! We’ve been open for about two and half years now in Calgary, since late 2012. The concept for Añejo came from the vibe in small town Mexico. The owner has a house in Sayulita, which is about 45 minutes north of Puerto…
I chose to go with just the veggie option, and no crispy onions. I didn’t even get Tofu in the dish, because I wanted more veggies! I’d rather have more veggies than Tofu! The sauce that they use is good, but for the meal to be healthy and nutritious for the meal, the sauce should…
Contemporary and Intimate The Raw Bar is a unique, and lovely dining experience in Calgary that offers healthier meal alternatives. It is located in the Hotel Arts and it is worth the visit. When you first walk into the dining area, you at once notice the contemporary look of the restaurant; intimate dining spaces with just…
Let’s see! I’m in love with the Tuna Tataki Salad at Coto’s! The Tuna is lightly seared with some spices added to it, and Avocado slices are placed decoratively on top of the salad. The salad dressing is made with Ponzu sauce which is delightful on your tastebuds, and doesn’t weigh the salad down, as the…
I’ve been to this restaurant previously, and by far, my favourite healthy dish is the Palak Paneer. In case you’ve never heard of Palak Paneer, it is made with spinach, spices, and you’ll find indian cheese, along with a bit of tomato with some fresh ginger slices on top of the paneer for decoration.…
Market’s Tuna Salad was my perfect idea of a healthy meal! The salad consisted of BC Albacore tuna, poplar bluff potatoes, tomato, and a tarragon vinaigrette. The unique addition of two boiled quail eggs was a surprising and lovely touch! I eat quail eggs all the time at home – so to see them on…
Famoso is ranked one of Canada’s fastest growing franchises. They’ve introduced us to “Fast Casual” dining – meaning – you order at the table and then enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and added at-table service. Once you order, the servers take it from there! Our service at Famoso Calgary was great. Normally pizza is not considered…
UNA PIZZA! From their website: “A neighbourhood restaurant serving Mediterranean influenced cusines with an emphasis on thin-crust, fresh topped pizzas & wine.” Usually there is about a 30-60 minute wait to sit and eat at UNA. Let that tell you how great the food is! Una had a feature pizza on Saturday night – the…
The Boxwood Café was a great choice for tasty local seasonal and sustainable food dishes. I had the pleasure of dining with my parents, a rare occasion when you get older, it seems. I decided to try the Ocean Wise Steelhead Trout, priced at $19.00, a delicious dinner. Importantly, this café sources their Trout from Vancouver Island,…
Have you been to Bluestar Diner, it’s a must! I decided to order the BSD Veggie Burger for $15, and upgraded my side of fries to a house salad for an extra$1, well worth it. I would recommend this veggie burger! Alot of veggie burgers do not have a lot of flavour, but this one did!…
