Looking for some new places to eat lunch? We recently polled our Twitter followers on their favourite Calgary restaurants to enjoy lunch. Here’s the top recommendations:
Lazy Loaf and Kettle
Voted for by: @LinziLockit
Address: 8 Parkdale Crescent NW
Website
“Having expanded from 2 to over 30 employees in 17 years, the success of the Lazy Loaf proves they have the right combination by starting with and sticking to home-grown ingredients. The old fashioned cinnamon buns; homemade soups and sandwiches; and baked goods from Grandma’s recipe box have meant loyal customers and committed staff. With so much goodness behind every cup of locally roasted coffee and fresh sandwiches served, it’s easy to see why the Loaf is one of Calgarians’ favourite eating spots.”
Cadence Coffee
Voted for by: @AmberCraig_
Address: 6407 Bowness Road NW
Website
“This neighbourhood spot not only boasts great cuisine from breakfast all the way to dinner, the vintage decor will make you fall in love as well. The ‘blast from the past’ setting would bring anyone inside, but the food and coffee is divine. If the daily specials don’t make your mouth water, try one of their breakfast bagels or soups.”
Len’s Picks:
Earl’s Tin Palace
Address: 2401 4 Street SW
Website
“There’s a whole lot more for you to see, do and taste here in the heart of Calgary. The Tin Palace is expansive yet comfortable, with an impressive display of flora from around the world. Throw in some Mexican limestone, and you’ve got the makings of a great environment for great company and a memorable meal. The famous Earls restaurant patio is also alive and well here, if you’re interested in joining us for some sun and sustenance (and more than a few social libations).”
Murrieta’s Bar and Grill
Address: 808 1 Street SW
Website
“Murrieta’s is very pleased to have received the Where Magazine’s Award for Best Overall Restaurant in 2010.
Murrieta’s Cuisine can be best summed up as a fresh, vibrant combination of Seafood, Meat dishes and pastas with uncompromising flair. From the Ahi Tuna Tartare Tacos to the Slow Braised Lamb Shank in a Carmelized Shallot Orange Sauce, our menu offers something tailored “to every taste”. And if you include “to every desire” our dessert menu is sure to excite as well. Murrieta’s comprehensive wine list is made up of 250 distinctive labels from around the Pacific Rim chosen by our own Sommeliers. Whether poured the glass or celebrated by the bottle our wines are available in all price ranges and categories.”
