Calgary's Best Restaurants

Noble Pie started as a small pizza pop-up within Eighty Eight brewing but quickly took on a life of it's own. This New York style pizza is truly delicious. Expect big floppy slices of heaven. They now have their own digs downtown Calgary, you can't stay in but you can order pick-up or delivery.

Connie and John are famous local chef's who we already know because of Charcut, Charbar and Alley Burger. They've now added pizza to their repertoire, because why not?  This pizza stands up the Connie & John's name. It's cheese and greasy in the best way possible. Get it to go from Charbar or pick-up from their new Blush Lane location in Marda Loop.

Posto is one of Calgary's faves. Expect delicious crusts and fresh toppings. You won't be able to get enough.

Native Tongues is part of the well known collection of restaurants that make up the Thank-you Hospitality Group.  Known for their small, juicy, soft-shell tacos and margarita collection Native Tongues is a go-to taco destination.

Hidden in an unlikely location, Moose & Poncho serve up delicious tacos in a small Asian mall downtown. Recently they opened a second location at First Sreet market. 

Full disclosure I haven't yet been to Tu Taco. But I will soon! I have heard good things and I really want to try the birria tacos! Will report back ASAP.

One of Calgary's top 3 brunch places according to Open Table votes. While I haven't brunched here, I've had dinner and it was outstanding!

This place is extremely popular. So popular that I've tried a couple times to go and have never had the patience for the waitlist. Make sure you plan ahead!

Kensington holds the only location of Vendome, a restaurant open until 9pm but mostly known for their brunch and coffee options. 

To be honest, I didn't even know Ten Foot Henry had brunch until I read Open Table's top brunch places in Calgary and found it in the top 3.

Queen's has only been around for a few years but has been a popular choice due to their breakfast cocktails and instagrammable meals.

Another one of Open Table's top 3 brunch places in Calgary. Be prepared for a bit of a drive as it's way down in Seton.

$2 mimosas every weekend! They also have games and a patio.

$1.50 mimosas every weekend!  This place has amazing nachos, including lots of breakfast options!

Higher Ground is a long-standing staple in Kensington but you may not know they have 2 other locations (Capitol Hill and now 17th Ave). They offer a wide selection of food and drink options.

There are many tasty options when you go to one of the multiple Deville locations, but they are best known for their Nutella Latte.

Located downtown, ZCrew serves up breakfast and lunch options as well as coffee.

Delicious lattes with the addition of some fun seasonal experiments like the mandarin honey latte. Pastries and donuts available too! 

Despite being hidden away in Altadore, Neighbour coffee is always very busy regardless of time of day.

Right on 17th Ave, Element cafe has a great location. They are open late and even serve cocktails at night.

Alforno is a super popular bakery downtown. They have a decent sized seating area and offer breakfast and lunch options too!

Started by a former SAIT student, Butterblock is 17th Ave's best kept secret.  You'll find it hidden n the Devenish building. They make stuffed croissants including Nutella stuffed croissants. OMG heaven.

This bakery might be my favourite. Their bagels are the best in the city (imo) and everything else they make is delicious too. And I love their lattes. Just go!

A literal hidden gem in the SW. Their cinnamon buns are to DIE for as well as many more of their baked goods.

This cute and busy little bakery offers delicious lunch and bakery items.

All Calgarians know and love Glamorgan's famous cheese buns!

This absolutely massive cookies come in unique fun flavour combos. 

Made by Marcus is well known in Calgary for their experimental ice cream flavours. My fave is lemon blueberry!

D Spot has a massive menu of sweet treats that aren't just for breakfast as they are open late!

Village Ice Cream is well-loved by Calgarians. They offer exciting new flavours monthly so we never get bored!

Probably the most instagrammable of all - ReGrub has many over-the-top milkshakes in crazy fun flavors.

These are next level donuts! Try skor bar, lemon curd, peanut butter cup or even maple bacon!

Who knew pie could be exciting? Let Pie Junkie change that for you! Their sweet pies are sooo good and they have savory options as well!

Crave makes delectable cupcakes, cookies and cakes. My fave is the mint icing cupcake.
