I work close to the Calgary Herald Building so the area is mostly business, warehouses and the closest mall is the Mayland Heights Shopping Centre which only has a Vietnamese Restaurant, Subway and a Pub style restaurant. Spolumbo's and Fiasco Gelato are also close by but variety is the spice of life so having a new kid on the block to go to for lunches is much welcomed. Roma Catering, a long time catering company has opened a small cafe in the Calgary Real Estate Board Building. Food is brought in from headquarters and there is always an lunch special for $10-12 and a couple of soups as well as a whole array of freshly made salads and sandwiches. Hours are Monday & Friday 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Tuesday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Hot Lunch specials change daily and is available between 11:30 and 1 p.m.
Prices are very reasonable. My favourite go-to healthy lunch is the Roma Entree Salad which has greens, strawberries, candied walnuts, goat cheese, grapes and a nicely grilled chicken breast and a choice of dressing for $10. Soups are made from scratch and a hearty bowl of soup sets you back only $5. Prices do not include GST. Hot lunches vary from a bowl of chili with baked potato to Braised Pork with vegetables, BBQ Beef on a bun to Butter Chicken and the odd stir-fry. Specials change daily. The only day without a hot lunch special is Monday but Roma is testing out the market and as soon as demand warrants it I'm sure this will change. Work in Mayland Heights and looking for a new place to get lunch? Head on over to the CREB building. Prices are fair and portions good. read more
