    The Breakfast Bowl
    Christine Z.

    This place has the perfect ambiance for brunch! Lots of greenery and natural light, paired with the wood tones which all come together for the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor vibes. I started off with a cold brew with cheese foam to get my caffeine fix. The foam looked a little chunky and questionable at first, almost like it was curdled...but it mixed in well with the coffee and made for a nice balanced taste. I typically always stick with eggs benedicts at brunch spots, but since I was sharing with someone, we opted for The Breakfast Bowl since it seemed to have similar ingredients as their Short Rib Benedict, but with more food overall. It definitely ended up being larger portions than the benedicts, and we ended up stuffed! We also had a Kale Caesar, which had a nice savory kick with their cheese croutons. The table also split an order of Truffle Parm Fries and no complaints about these, although it's pretty hard to mess up fries. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for good brunch food and a cute ambiance!

    Omaki Kasu Japanese ale

    We came here upon the recommendation by a mother-daughter duo from Calgary who sat at a table next to us a couple of days ago at a restaurant at in Canmore. The restaurant was nice, the decor was calming and beautiful, service was friendly, the Japanese ale recommended by our waitress was light, sweet and refreshing, and the Summer Days salad was quite good. The Margherita pizza was disappointing. We were hoping for a classic Neopolitan Margherita pizza. Instead, My husband said the rectangular shaped slices and its airy soft crust reminded him of Little Caesars.

    Calamari
    Matt P.

    Located down restaurant row in Calgary. This place is pretty cool looking inside. Ordered the grilled cheese, porch burger & calamari. I really liked the calamari. It was tender and in long strips instead of rings. Was seasoned well and had the batter was not too hard. The burger was cooked to my liking and tasted good also. Though, the bottom of the bun was soggy and kind of fell apart on me when I first picked it up. I didn't try the grilled cheese as I am lactose. But my wife liked it. This would be a great place to hang out after work for happy hour or a nice cool night.

    Great place for family and friends, unique food options and top tier service. Very aesthetic decor. For large group you can request a private seating area that has a wonderful street view. Con: street parking available Pro: paid parking across the street

    My wife and I made lunch plans to try this place out. Our experience was a 5/5! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the ambiance was spectacular. Our server was very tentative and walked us through their drink and food menu. Our service couldn't have been better. We had the Morta sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were amazing but the fried chicken sandwich was the winner. If you're looking for a good spot to eat check out Porch, you won't be disappointed!

    Ok so this is bar none the best bar and resto in Calgary on 17th strip. So here's the story the owner set it up in honor of his grandmother's house in North Carolina. He has swing seats at the bar. Ok amazing! Then the bartenders are absolutely friggjn amazing. They make up the best concoctions and make sure you are covered be it food or drinks all night long. It's a great vibe w sexy and diverse people throughout. Drinks check! Now the food it is absolutely a foodies spot. We had Brussels sprouts: amazing, Korean wings : , lamb chops: best in the business , calamari: honestly they didn't miss on anything. This is a must go to in Calgary!! Thank me later

    Greek street cart fries and aperol spritz
    Janice R.

    The restaurant ambiance and aesthetic was amazing. It's initially what attracted my friends and I to the restaurant. However, the food and drinks were okay. We ordered the kfc wings, Greek street cart fries, and kale Caesar salad. They have a wide selection of food on their happy hour menu however they only had 2 cocktails for the drinks portion of the menu. Overall, the vibe is great and I might need to try more things on the menu to get a better read.

    My husband and I just went here yesterday, and surprisingly, it was good. I thought this place would be overpriced, but it was reasonable. We were lucky enough to get a patio seat and could people-watch. I don't drink, and what I liked about Porch was the good selection of mocktails, and the one I ordered was tasty. My husband and I split the hummus, and I ordered the burger. The burger was okay, but the side Caesar salad I got was good, especially their homemade croutons. This is definitely a place I would come back to.

    This was my first day visiting Calgary for the first time and needed to check this spot out due to the positive reviews. Oh My GOD please come here and try the 1. Truffle Parm Fries 2. Grilled Australian Lamb Chops & 3. Beef & Lamb !! Those fries are the BESTT truffles fries I've had in my entire LIFE! & The aussie lamb is the best lamb I've ever had but beware they literally you a single (ONE) piece. Like if you haven't eaten all day, the beef/lamb kebab thing or aussie lamb won't fill you up..but I understand the small portions because its a bar.. but just keep it in mind; I was debating 4 stars but everything was on point I had to give it a 5.. The drinks looked so elevated & tasty but I didn't order one. If I had this spot by me I'd def return for a birthday or something special. I sat outside on a summer day (without a reservation I was sat within seconds!! yay) but the inside is soooo boujee and such a vibe! especially the swings like WHAT?! its hard to impress me but damn yeah def recommend! YUP

    Great place to hang out with friends or casual date, especially with good weather. Food: Lamb chops were well seasoned and charred beautifully, unfortunately one was a bit overcooked. Pork souvlaki was just average, hero being the pita. Pasta was unfortunately bland. Service: Excellent. Patio spot opened and the host voluntarily offered it to us. Server was attentive and friendly. Even apologized for a fly in the water. Poor fly. Atmosphere: Very lively. Feels like you are at a celebrity's patio party. Everyone seems like they are having a good time. Value: Fair. Food is decent but you are sure to have a good night here with friends.

    Porch burger
    Keiko D.

    I came around 9:30pm on a Thursday with a group of 4 and we were seated immediately. Luckily we made it in time to order food, as the last orders are taken at 9:45. I tried the lemon pepper chips (good), KFC (very good), porch burger (okay), and mushroom pasta (very good). The server was nice, but very busy and didn't really check on us. We needed more water and had to wait a really long time and also waited maybe 20 minutes to get the check. The atmosphere was beautiful, very pretty and photogenic place. It was extremely loud inside and difficult to hear normal conversation.

    Korean bbq wings
    Liz N.

    Came here for a late dinner since it was one of the few places that were still open when we landed. We had a reservation, but waited about 5 min before we were sat cause the table before us were finishing up. For our dinner, we shared the poutine and Korean bbq wings from the late night bites menu. Both were really good. I wish there were more cheese curds on the poutine, but that would prob be my biggest complaint. Wings had good flavor. It's def a younger crowd that hangs out at the Porch. It was loud and busy, but our food and drinks came out in a reasonable time.

    From Melrose to Corbeaux's Bakery to Porch, I've been to them all.. Porch is a new concept that is now popular in the Calgary. Move aside beer halls, make room for vintage modern vibes..! Double sided entrance to a well lit room. The ceiling fans reminded me of a beachy vibe and the trees with Christmas lights gave the room a warm glow.. Other than the difficulty to hear my date (which is common at so many restaurants, install sound boards and guest will sit longer and spend more $$!!) The service and food was very good. We had truffle parm fries with curry aioli, tuna crudo (really tart and lemony) and the briased short rib ravioli (to die for!!). Would like to try more items on the menu. Would definitely return

    See all

Book this for your next meeting with Jasper Morris, Anne Krebiehl and Peter Liem lol A very well researched selection, from Meursault villages to the most coveted 1ers & Grands Crus in white and red: Puligny, St. Aubin, Volnay, Pommard, Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey Chambertin, ... Lafarge, Hubert Lamy, Leflaive, Mugneret-Gibourg, Some excellent lower yield & early accessible vintages like the 2019. Not many bottles are older than 10 years, but a number of suppliers provide pretty much the rarest new stuff available in the region. Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music. Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here. Oh, and they have Les Robarts by Suenen. I had to visit four wine stores in Champagne to get two bottles of that. Good luck finding that anywhere else.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.

We unfortunately got seated in the side room, not as good for people and kitchen watching but a nice room nonetheless. It was a busy Friday evening but service was a bit slow to start. We got water and our candle lit long before a cocktail menu. We'd ordered about five items, some shareable and two intended as mains, however they came in series with a bit of wait between them. I was with my wife so we shared everything but otherwise it may have been awkward. Drink menu is good, including several margaritas. My standard version was delicious and the second one was just as good! The food was really good. We had scallops, tuna, and prawns; all really good but the Tuna Tostada always amazing. Caesar salad was good but somewhat untraditional with pickled onion. The menu marks gluten free and dairy free, lots of gf options. Lots of menu items I'd like to try, will definitely be back.

Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Happy hour was a great deal with $6 margaritas and discount on single tacos. The chicken tacos were amazing as well as the pork belly chicharron. We had the el trip dip taster and found the guacamole to be amazing but the other two to be slightly plain but still good. The ceviche was fresh and played really well. I loved how you can choose two flavours + spicy for the soda or margaritas. Overall an incredible deal for the quality and quantity of food.
