Sometimes we just don’t know what to eat. Our mind and what we feel play games with us. Do you want sushi, steaks, salads, Chinese, tacos, burgers or something else? Feeling undecided? Well, if this is the case then walking along the streets of Stephen Ave & the Red Mile (17 Ave) is the best solution to help you decide. Both streets are in downtown Calgary.

The place is very popular and legendary for producing mouth-watering burgers and milkshakes for many Calgarians. This is why the lines in their drive-thru are always jam-packed day and night. Unlike other fast food store, they make their own patties from scratch. Most of their ingredients being used for making patties are fresh daily – to add they don’t use “frozen” patties! This is why the taste and quality of their meal stands out among the rest. Foods are always hot when served. Hot, crisp fries and onion rings make the perfect addition for a great meal. How about the price? • Single Burger - $3.30 • Cheese Burger - $3.60 • Double Burger - $3.90 • Double Cheese - $4.20 • Triple Burger - $4.50 • Triple Cheese - $4.80

$$$ - $30 - $50 Wellington is the best place to be. Wellington’s has a unique way of showing off how they cook steaks – literally! What I meant is you can actually see how your steak is being cooked. Steaks are grilled in a glass enclosed booth for everybody’s viewing pleasure. You’ll be sure that your steak is cooked the way you want it. Of course a great Alberta steak is accompanied with a glass of wine – choose among their wide selection of fine wine. They offer seafood, chicken, lamb and pork for lunch and dinner. If you are a vegetarian, this place is not for you. The price is pretty reasonable with they quality of entrees they serve. An entree goes from $22.00 to $52.00. The service is really good and the restaurant is family friendly.
Sushi in Calgary
I love sushi! At first, I found it really distasteful and sworn not to try it again. Perhaps it was not that fresh anymore the first time I tried it. However, thanks to my wife by inviting me to go to the right place. My interest was revived, and from that day forward sushi became one of my favorite delicacy.

$$ - $20 - $30 Sushi Ichiban is one place I go to satisfy sushi cravings. They are conveniently located along MacLeod Trail South. The place mimics traditional Japanese setting complete with fine furniture and a very clean washroom. Their specialty is the Love Boat and All-You-Can-Eat. The Love Boat is a combination of sushi, sashimi, rolls and tempura. The amount of items in a boat varies depending on the price you select. The All-You-Can-Eat is exactly what it says, “all you can eat”. The sushi BUFFET starts daily from 4pm to 9pm in the evening. (You have enough time to indulge and satisfy yourself!)If you are not in a mood for raw stuff, ask your server for menu and choose cooked items. The place has a very family friendly atmosphere. Love Japanese food but on the Go?!
$ - $20 less Banzai is a good place for a quick take-out Japanese foods. They serve rice bowls, noodles, and sushi. A bento tray is a combination of rice, teriyaki (chicken or beef), sushi or tempura with miso soup and salad on the side. It is a popular selection because of its cheap price and tasty meal. I find the service very friendly and prompt. However place is not ideal for a romantic date. The size of the restaurant is small while setting is pretty normal. The price of a bento combination will cost you no more than $10.00. There are two convenient locations in Calgary south and downtown.

Regency Palace home of delectable Chinese cuisine you can ever think of. Feast from their 38 delicious dim sum items. For your added convenience, server goes around pushing carts with different items for you to choose from. Guard your eyes and be ready for a napkin before you drool! The price of each plate starts from $2-$4. Try their Hot-Pot (fresh meat, seafood and vegetables submerged into a boiling beef broth) which is offered only seasonal (from mid Sept – early May). They will set a special table arrangement, a pot of boiling beef broth in the middle and you can choose from their 48 fresh items according to your liking. Ask about their different kinds of sauce available to enhance the taste of your food. Not in the mood for waiting and cooking your own food? a dinner buffet close by is available for your enjoyment. If the buffet, dim-sum or hot-pot does not appeal to you, ask your server for a menu to see ALaCarte and Chef Specials. Welcoming lions, a good luck fountain and luxurious oriental and western touch with intricate decorations will greet you when you enter Regency Palace. I love the way it was set up! $$ - $20 - $30
Buffet Yantze My love for authentic Chinese food is truly remarkable. That is why I don’t settle for few places to satisfy my desire for the best Chinese food. Buffet Yangtze is another place that I go to. It is conveniently located inside the Deerfoot Outlet Mall. They have huge buffet selection including dim-sum, ginger beef, sweet and sour chicken, noodles, spring rolls, salads, wanton soups, pastry, deserts and many more. My favorites are the dumplings and dim sum. The service is pretty decent. The setting is not as decorative for a Chinese restaurant. Other than that, the food makes up for it. After saving a lot of money shopping at the Deerfoot Outlet Mall and feeling great about it, why don’t treat your self for a great feast. Hours: Daily 11 am to 9 pm

Swiss Chalet is founded in Toronto Canada (1954). Majority of its restaurant operates in Canada and only two are in the US (both in Buffalo New York). The barbeque ribs and rotisserie chicken combinations are the main draw. The combinations can be either rotisserie ¼ Chicken and 1/3 rack BBQ ribs; or ¼ chicken and half rack BBQ ribs. Choose from their side dishes such as: french fries, baked potatoes, rice, salads or vegetables. A meal comes complete with white or multigrain bread and coleslaw. Aside from ribs and rotisserie chicken, they also serve sandwiches, chicken quesadilla, chicken wrap, salads, and fresh vegetable stir fry and for dessert, a Swiss Alps Chocolate Layer is a sure hit. My wife and I celebrated some of our special occasions there.
Price: $15 to $30 Canadian
Soup in CalgaryWhy soup? Well it is a great equalizer for cold Calgary weather. Tasty soup belongs to the Vietnamese, they are famous for best beef noodle soup in the world. I had my first taste of Vietnamese beef noodle soup when I was 20 years old and the rest is history. The main ingredients of the soup consists of rice noodles, beef broth, thin slices of beef, onions, bean spouts, cilantro and spices. Choose from their different add-ons to boost the taste of your soup.Try also their barbecue lemon grass chicken and pork. Either fried or steam rice they form a great meal. Finally, don’t forget to try a Vietnamese sub. This sandwich is fresh, delicious and unique. In Calgary, there are two places I normally go for a nice warm Vietnamese beef noodle soup, Golden Bell Saigon and Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant.
Hours: Open Daily 11 am – 9 pm

$ - $20 less Golden Bell Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant This is where I go for beef noodle soups and Vietnamese subs. The service is very fast. They have a lot of friendly staff to serve you. The food is really good and each serving portions are more than substantial. My favourite is their special noodle soup. It has more ingredients for just about the same price of a regular beef noodle soup. The place is really neat, clean and conveniently located to in front of Chinook Centre. Price: very reasonable you can have a meal starting from $9.00

Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant Looking for a cozy atmosphere and superb costumer service restaurant? Bolsa is the right place! They’re very friendly, treating all strangers like a family member and aside from being store owners they are cooks at the same time. I love going there because the owners are really passionate about their food. Try their barbeque lemon grass chicken, pork and lip-smacking grilled quail.
