Beyond's 100 Tastes of Calgary!

[jdmakkord]

Don't bother with the new Malaysian Fusion place where tropical delight used to be. Miserable Laksa and Beef Rendang. Chinese food disguised as Malaysian. Should
Have known when we walked in and it was empty.

[flipstah]

That's good to know. Banana Leaf seems to be the place right now to get your Malay fix.

FML I have to update this list.

[flipstah]

Anyone have recommendations for a cake? No flavor preference so it'll be a free-for-all.

I highly recommend http://www.prettysweetco.com/

for cupcakes, and I believe they do cakes too.

You can take Koto's unagi tempura off the list, they don't have it anymore

2020 Bump!
Especially in our times now, let's hear some of your local favorites and it may entice others to give it a try. Unfortunately a lot of the ones on the first page don't exist any more.

I'll start. Over the past month, I tried the Tiramisu at Lina's Italian Market and quite enjoyed it. Grab a tray and share with the family!

I like this thread.

Really liking the new pizza place APG on 14th street sw.

It’s actually pretty good.

Nowhere as good as noble pie / 88. But it’s also not in the middle of a rail yard .

Nice! I've been trying to find a good pizza place around where I'm at in Killarney and nothing is that great. Sauces was the biggest let down ever.

Best Pizza in Calgary hands down is Grecos, 17th ave and 34st. Close to Killarney. Sooooo good

Nothing beats Noble Pie. Hard stop.

Depends on your pizza style.

Depends on your pizza style.

Donair Pizza from Seniore's Pizza for pigging out
I like the pizza slices from Lina's (Center St location) for quick meal
Famoso makes good thin crust pizza, along with Without Papers and 500 Cucina in Inglewood


Other meals that I can recommend

Assorted Katsu from Kims Katsu, although my favorite is the Cheese Katsu
Flipp'n Burger at Flipp'n Burger
Scotian Super Donair from East Coast Market & Grill
Chorizo Verde from Moose and Poncho

and for donut lovers, the weekly changing flavors from Donut Club YYC

Tacos Mexico in Memorial in the SE.

[killramos]

If tacos are being brought up Moose and Poncho must be mentioned.

[ExtraSlow]

is it better? I mean, it's good, but I didn't think it was better. Although maybe I just hate that location and how crowded and disorganized it is. Last time I was there our food got mixed up with someone else, so we didn't get what we ordered.
At least Tacos Mexico has a waitress who brings your shit and there's room to sit down without people jostling you while you wait and strain to hear your name being called.

for me it taste authentic Mexican tacos, but I havent tried Tacos Mexico yet so my comparison is only against Mucho Burrito and Taco Time haha

This whole vibe just speaks to me:

This whole vibe just speaks to me:

I do see that place busy from time to time, we go there frequently because there's a Filipino restaurant there (Adobe Experience beside Pizza 73), keep telling my wife that we should try the tacos there so maybe this weekend.

[msommers]

Both are very good options, but T/M is cheaper and has a lot more variety to their menu. M/P has a great salsa bar selection, though with covid now is that still an option? T/M only has one salsa that you have to ask for and it's nothing special.

Now I want tacos.

Something for you guys to add to the list to try:

Paros Real Greek - Roast Lamb Plate

Also Kreta Souvlaki Greek Food, which is actually part of a gas station on 17th, been there forever. It's cheap and damn good.
