    This thread is just a disappointing reminder of how poor Calgary's restaurant scene is. I've been everywhere listed (except Eight), and I'm just a blue collar, probably lower class, slob.

    Fly somewhere nice for dinner BB.
    Not sure if serious...but Calgary's food scene is pretty good and accessible.

    Been there twice now. Food is really meh. The view isn’t great either just because the corner where the restaurant sits faces buildings all around it.
    What’s your go to restaurant?

    My favourite restaurant in Calgary recently has been Carino, it's Japanese Italian fusion which on the surface sounds ridiculous but the food is amazing.

    https://www.eatcarino.com/

    I enjoyed it there.

    It is good and accessible. Literally just good though. Every time I've been out of town for somewhere actually known for it's food, it's been miles ahead of most of Calgary restaurants.

    For the record though, for some reason I thought this was a bavarianbeast thread, and it got me thinking how much more disappointing the food here must be to someone with at least 20x my wealth.

    Never tried that one. We stopped there for lunch, that place is also an experience haha.

    I still don't know how these cook your own steak places are able to pass health code, given that you cook your own steak.... But it's kinda fun. These seedy small town places are hilarious

    Check out Wilde, food is decent, and it’s on the top floor of The Dorian downtown. This may or may not be appealing if you work downtown but you should be able to get a table unlike Major Tom’s.

    Yea that’s literally the first good thing I’ve ever heard about Wilde

    It’s just a mediocre Major Tom ripoff

    I apologize, my recommendation was not clear therefore I will provide further context.

    From the Merriam - Webster dictionary:

    decent
    adjective
    de·​cent ˈdē-sᵊnt

    4: fairly good : ADEQUATE, SATISFACTORY
    "decent wages"

    As for the view, it sure beats staring out at a parking lot and it may be unique to someone who doesn't work downtown.

    Yeah I hear ya. Our coffee scene is pretty darn good.

    But if Vegas has taught me anything, expensive =/= good all the time

    I disagree on Calgary having a bad food scene. It's one of the things Calgary has going for it.

    Calgary behind in Canada being one of the worst things about it.

    TIL there's such thing as a coffee scene.

    I assume the cafes are surrounded by vintage-looking bicycles with leather growler holders attached to the crossbar, and full of the handlebar-moustached douchebags that ride them.

    The idea of going out for dinner and cooking it yourself (Korean BBQ etc) as part of the experience doesn't appeal to me. Isn't the idea to relax, maybe put on a nice outfit and let someone else do the work?

    I can cook at home for much cheaper. And not come home smelling like smoke after tipping a server 18%+ for the total bill when all they did was bring drinks and show cleavage.

    Also second Chairman's, excellent experience/venue.

    Cook your own food isn't that unique... you also cook your own food at Korean BBQ or Hot pot places. Unless you actually go back into the kitchen in these places?

    That sounds a lot more like the art room than any coffee shop I've been to in Calgary.

    Agreed with Buster.

    Lots of people here shit on Cowtown but then compare it to places 4-5x its size.

    Also Suntan I think for your Bday you should go for Brazilian BBQ. God damn I love B-BBQ

    Anyone else see an niche market for ExtraSlow to expand? Dinner and an art show.
