1410, a new restaurant on 17th Ave.


Since I’ve moved here, I tried to go to a new restaurant once every week at least. Yesterday, I was on 17th Ave. Since I really like a good pint of draught, the idea of a global fusion cuisine mixed with over 40 types of beers was kind of attractive to me and my friend.

I have been disappointed by the restaurant/pub. As a start, there was probably one ...

An Indian treasure…


I like food, no I really LOVE food. I’ve been recently introduced to Indian cuisine. I have to say that since then, I have tried several restaurants across the city in order the find the best lamb curry. I like to try little restaurants that look like nothing from the exterior but where the food and the service are amazing. I have found one of them in the Indian ...

Eau Claire Joey's fails to impress


Joey Tomato's has always been a fond favorite of mine with its mouth-watering ahi tuna tacos and the ever-delicious Diva salad, however last night was a definite anomaly. Perhaps it was an odd moon phase or the recent chill that's been plaguing us or perhaps it was just too late for them to take our order seriously, but the service was slow and by the time the food got to ...

Hi-Fi flies high


Searching for a club that was more than just a meat-market that played old-school funky tunes seemed to be quite a challenge in Calgary, until I stumbled upon the hidden gem known as the Hi-Fi Club. Located on 219 & 10th Ave. SW, they blast tunes from all eras including the oldie-goldies of Michael Jackson, James Brown and Aretha Franklin up to the modern beats of Mylo, Tiga and ...
