Being close to the coast, it only seemed obviously for us to visit a seafood restaurant for oysters, my favourite! We stopped in at Dan & Louis Oyster Bar. This restaurant has been opened since 1907 and has been going strong for five generations. Stopping by for their happy hour, we ordered a drink each …
Portland is full of brunch options so finding the perfect place was a bit more challenging than we thought. We chose based on location, reviews, and food options and Jams on Hawthorne fit the bill. They have a large, diverse menu with options for all: vegetarians, vegans, meat lovers, and gluten-free people. The restaurant itself …
You can’t go to Portland without eating a doughnut, or so everyone says. I will admit that I’m not a huge doughnut fan, but felt I had to at least give it a try. We stopped at the world famous, Voodoo Doughnut which has been opened since 2003 and has been featured time and time …
Barrel-aged. Tart. Well-rounded. Complex. Cascade Brewing Barrel House is doing everything right in my mind when it comes to beers. I’m both a sucker and lover of sour beers. When we booked our trip to Portland everyone said stopping at Cascade was a necessity. After looking them up, I agreed. Soon as we arrived, it …
After wanting to go for months, we finally had the chance to check out Nights & Weekends, and it was a meal I’ll never forget! This restaurant does a pop up every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Shiki Menya in Bridgeland. They have a small menu, but enough items that make it difficult to decide. …
Spending our weekend at the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, we tried out Blacktail Bar, which is located right in the lobby when you enter the main lodge. They offer a great selection of handcrafted cocktails, as well as hearty dishes to share or for the individual. Sitting at the bar, in amazingly comfy stools, we ordered …
It’s hard to think about brunch without thinking about mimosas. They go hand in hand. There’s something about the refreshing combination of orange juice and champagne. And nowadays, the choices of juices are endless: pineapple, cranberry, grapefruit. The recipe has evolved and includes many varieties or twists on a classic drink. The history of mimosas …
I’ve lived in Calgary for over half of my life now, but it hasn’t been until the last year or so when I started referring to Calgary as my home. This city has grown on me immensely and I’ve really come to love what a beautiful place it is. Besides having the rivers, numerous green …
Sometimes it’s nice to have a little snack when you’re out, and nothing is really better than an order of quality fries. I’ve had many throughout our city, and I still think that my favourite are from Citizen Brewing Company. They have a nice crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy interior, and they’re always cooked …
Opening in July of 2019, Comery Block has added a tasty Tennessee twist to Calgary’s food scene. All of their meat is smoked in-house for a minimum of ten hours, using hickory wood. This style of wood imparts a smoky taste and is unique to a Tennessee style. On our visit, we decided to choose …
