We were in town for a convention, which means meeting up with friends, which often means larger groups. The best thing about food halls like First Street is that you don't have to get a bunch of people to agree on a place -- it's a choose your own adventure! In First Street, you'll find all kinds of cuisine. Pizza, burgers, Korean fried chicken, pho, Indian food, pasta, coffee, smoothies, and a bar. The selection is amazing and you're sure to find something that'll interest you. Our favorites were the pho and pizza. The pizza was a little pricey, but it was truly delicious. The bar also runs a happy hour from 4-6PM. Seating is plentiful as well. It can get a little chaotic during peak meal hours, but we never had an issue finding a table. Just remember to bus your own plates and clean up after yourself! read more

We only had one night in Calgary, and luckily First Street Market was within walking distance of our hotel. We love exploring food halls when we travel, and while this one is on the smaller side, we still found some great dishes to share for dinner. The fun part was splitting up to grab different bites. We picked up chicken wings and a beef sandwich from The Noodle Bar, while we also grabbed a fresh and tasty caprese salad from the pizza spot called Actually Pretty Good. Since we came during dinner time, it was a little tough to find a table, but there's plenty of bar seating in the back. The wings were a bit of a letdown, too much batter and overly greasy. However, the other two dishes hit the spot. A solid place if you're in the mood to mix and match your meal, whether you're sharing or not! read more

Love the tacos, but if the guy cooking won't look me in the eye and take my order while I stand there for a couple of minutes, I'm gone!

Love this market in Calgary! There's a bunch of food stalls in there and we tried a lot of them during our stay in Calgary. 1) Alforno Bakery: Came here for breakfast and got some pastry items. Absolutely wonderful!My ham and cheese croissant was buttery and flaky and my cronut was such a treat. 2) Noodle Bar: Delicious PHO style beef noodle soup served in large bowls. They even give you a beef rib not only slices of meat. Their broth is darker than the ones we get in NY but still a great dish. 3) Korean Fried Chicken: we ordered the garlic soy combo with a side salad and drink. Not as crispy compared to the ones we get back home in NY but the flavor was on point. 4) Friends with Benedict: We ordered the "just want breakfast" dish and got 2 eggs, sausage, and pancakes. Nothing to write home about but it served us a plain and simple meal before heading out to our destination. read more

My cousin and I were in town and decided to try out this place since we weren't quite sure what we wanted to eat but wanted to have a good selection to choose from. And what better way than to go to a food hall? There's plenty of street parking available, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot. Additionally, there's a good amount of seating available as well, so you could fit a big party if needed. There's also an enclosed outdoor seating too with heat warmers, so if you can't find something inside, you can try out there. I believe there are about 10 food places for you to choose from, so surely you'll find something you like! I ended up getting getting the hu tieu bo sate from Pure Street Food since I was craving something soupy in the cold weather. It def hit the spot! Spicy, tender, and oh so tasty. Definitely would come back again! read more

We wish there was a market such as this in our downtown Langley core! We were staying almost across the street for three nights while in town for a Christmas party. We ended up at this market a couple times, and likely would have been more than that if we hadn't discovered it 18 hours after our arrival. I enjoyed the wrap late afternoon after a poor breakfast at Hotel Arts earlier in the day. The lovely K was at her Company headquarters when I ventured into the cold with an empty stomach. The wrap was great, as was the conversation I had with one of the merchants that sold Italian and burgers prior to picking the wrap as a lighter alternative. The Saturday night we walked over and went to "Actually Pretty Good" pizza after eliminating most of the other places due to our previous two nights of gluttony! The pizza and salad were great, as was the show while they made our pizza. The place was pretty empty as it was later in the evening (sense a trend here towards eating late?!) which was great with us. The wine at the bar in the market was great, the food great, and the experience, although different from a couple nights earlier also worth coming back for. read more

If I knew this place existed earlier in my trip to Calgary I would have went more often. It's such a cool concept, lots of different eateries all under one roof with a great variety of options depending on what you're crazy. The vibes were great - it was busy but casual and fun. We went with Friends with Benedicts. Unfortunately, they were out of eggs at the time (major bummer) but it worked out because I noticed the chicken and waffles (which I love!) The savory waffles were absolutely delicious, as was the chicken. 10/10! read more

This bustling food hall is clean and exciting. The service is super friendly and the food is pretty fast. I especially recommend the pizza place and the Indian street food! Try the vamped up Hawaiian with spicy ham and pickled peppers or the puri and chickpea curry. read more

Most recently, I had the savory sesame donut with char siu from Pure Street Food, which was so good and hit the spot. Honestly, I like it better than the pho. I also got the Add a Lil Spice from Friends with Benedict's and it was disappointing--basically just a bunch of tater tots with some toppings, but barely even spicy and mostly just...tater tot-y. There are better items on the menu. read more

This is more of a food hall than a market. And, it is amazing!! I ordered from the Mexican stall and the tacos and chips were some of the best I've ever had. What a gem in the city. Just visiting this town but if I lived here, I would try all of the different stalls as they have a pasta stall. an Asian stall, coffee, an Indian stall, a deli style, and a coffee house that also serve sandwiches. read more

Complete let down. Pedantic frozen foods like crappy burgers at stupidly high prices. Better anywhere else. read more

Love this place! Such a wide variety of foods to choose from and a great bar at the west side facing the park. The vibe is casual and comfortable. Last night we tried the burger and the tacos. Considering we are both keto we ordered them without the bun or tortillas. In both cases the server accommodated our need easily. The food was fresh and delicious. My favourite part of the market is the bar. An absolutely delicious glass of Syrah for 7 bucks served by the friendliest people. The place is great for families as it backs onto a park where the kids can roam while the parents relax. Great concept and will become one of our go to places down in Victoria Park. read more

Possible contender for the worst fried chicken in the city. End of day, a walk in-take out, box taped shut .... beware end of day, taped box .... meat very dry, coating near inedible, possibly the result of a second (third?) trip to the deep fryer. read more

I expected higher quality of the restaurants in this food market. Unfortunately, the quality of the foods I tried wasn't quite there but the prices are quite high in general. Not sure if I will come back. read more
