Being as my mom was born in Ireland and I married an Irishman, it only seems obvious that I would also have a love for Guinness. Now just to be clear, Guinness in Canada is very different from Guinness in Ireland. Let’s just say it’s much better on the other side of the ocean. I …
Tacos are probably one of my all time favourite food items. The simplicity, yet flavours that you can create in a little bite always ceases to amaze me. There are numerous places around town with a great Taco Tuesday menu, but one of the best would have to be Native Tongues. This place has won …

Being the only hand pulled noodle place in Calgary, Calan Beef Noodle is doing everything right. This restaurant is located on Centre Street and 22 Avenue north, and is quite unassuming from the outside. Inside, there are only a few tables to sit at but if you call ahead you can reserve one for your …
This modern diner is located at the bottom of the Fairfield Inn & Suites on 12 Avenue in Calgary. I will admit that I was a little skeptical to eat at the restaurant in a hotel, but as soon as I entered The Beltliner, I knew this place was different. The first thing I noticed …

People told me I’m crazy because I hadn’t been to Pulcinella in Kensington, and now I could say that I agree. Being only one of 1100 Italian restaurants outside of Italy certified under Ospitalità Italiana, they know how to make a truly authentic Italian style pizza. We began our meal with an order for arancini; …
Diner Deluxe is a place that we frequent often for brunch. It’s in our neighbourhood and they always serve consistently good breakfast food. Upon a recent visit, I decided to live a little on the edge and instead of choosing between my few usually brunch dishes, I opted to try their lunch burger. Woah! This …
Driving a typical route home one evening along Edmonton Trail, a new sign caught our eye: Queens. Breakfast. Cocktails. Simple enough and being as those are two of my favourite things, it was a place we had to check out. Unassuming from the outside, we entered the restaurant and felt as though we were in …
I love baking! It’s something that I find soothing, relaxing, and just plain enjoyable. Although I don’t nearly get to bake as often as I’d like to, I really appreciate quality baked-goods. When it comes to cookies, I love your typical chocolate chip, peanut butter, and shortbread, but I am a true sucker for a …
