Heaven Restaurant Market - Arepa Pabellon

Heaven is HEAVEN!…read more Being gluten free from 2016-2026 in the states, I hadn't eaten Tres Leches OR Quesadillas of any kind in a decade. I found Heaven via GF social media and it did not disappoint. For an app, I split the Yuca Buenolos with my husband, and they were kinda heavy but worth it. I got the Pulled Pork Arepa and him the Arepa Pabellon -- both were large and raveworthy!! I had planned on only eating one bite of the Tres Leches and taking it all to-go, but ended up sitting down and devouring the whole container on the curb because it was literally that tasty and nostalgic. Next day, I went out of my way to come back for lunch. The Roasted Chicken Quesadilla and gluten free BEER were the chefs kiss. Highly recommend, esp for Celiac travelers! Chill ambiance with attentive service & nice bathroom for customers.

This is a restaurant with amazing food and then proceeds to destroy the entire experience with the…read moreabsolutely ridiculous price of $4.95 for soft-drinks, yes $4.95 for one can of pop. The owner tries to argue his way out of it that it is not greed but due to overhead. Get real. I can name at least half-dozen restaurants within walking distance that would not dream of prices for drinks bordering on usury. This places charges 70 percent more that virtually every other restaurant in the same area, all facing the same overhead. Every last one is $2.90 or less. Heaven is not even remotely competitive. The food I give four stars to but I have to downgrade the overall experience to one-star because I do not like being taken for a ride. I generally have 3 soft-drinks with a meal and 50 percent of my bill going to my beverage comsumption makes this a restaurant to avoid.

What more can I say about the Ship that hasn't already been said. It's not the fanciest, it doesn't…read morehave the best food, it doesn't particularly stand out in any single way... yet somehow it is perfect exactly as it is. It tends to be a "must visit" everytime I come down to Calgary. They have a great beer selection and a classic pub fare food menu with clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. I highly recommend the pickle pizza! The Ship is a great space to meet with friends and spend hours catching up over beers and boozy eggnog. Keep in mind, it is always going to be busy. There's a good chance you will need to wait for a table but if it's a nice enough day, even in the middle of winter, you can usually find a spot on the patio.

I enjoyed my visit to Ship & Anchor Pub, a favorite of my friends in Calgary. This is their go to…read moredowntown lunch stop and I'm glad they took me there too. It's a classic pub vibe, with a decor that matches its name, but it's the food that really took me by surprise. The table had a round of Shafts that were quite delicious and I tried their cider on tap. Food wise, they have an astonishing selection of Gluten Free Option, so for once I was able to enjoy appetizers galore. The calamari was tasty as heck. The chicken strips could've used a bit of seasoning, but came with excellent sauces. And well, I have never had a bad tater tot in my life. I'd like to go back and try more here, that's for sure.

Due to this bizarre and seemingly ceaseless global imposition to us all, we sat outside. Virtually…read morein the street making the possibility of being hit by a car reversing far more plausible than a couple of days in bed with a temperature more likely. We didn't expect a lot from this local eatery and were pleasantly surprised by tasty uncomplicated dishes served by charming and knowledgable staff. The cocktails were pretty good too, though the gin/basil one was a little overpowering and felt a little like imbibing a concoction of alcohol and sativa. Pizzas were pretty good, but I prefer a stone/wood fired oven that produce the extreme heat enabling the puffy edges and a thin and slightly soggy middle that I like so much. Will surely return as it's a must for us all to support any local businesses that are suffering immensely until the scaremongering ceases.

We let our Calgarian friend's pick a new spot for us to try. They decided on Annabelle's Kitchen, a…read moreneighbourhood style Italian restaurant. They have a second location downtown but this one is located next door to Springbank Cheese. We dropped in on an early Tuesday evening (6:30pm) and the patio was busy. Service was good; our waitress checked in on us several times. The menu is small; antipasti, pizza, pasta, kids menu and dessert. Dishes are meant to be shared family style. - Fusilli ($20.00) - fusilli had a good al dente bite. Really enjoyed the lemon bits; added bright, acidic notes. Didn't notice much, if any, of a chili sauce hit. - Kale campanelle ($18.00) - the green olives were a brilliant addition. Never had that in a pasta dish before. The only two things we didn't like about the pasta dishes was that the portion sizes were too small. You won't get full on one. - Tearing me up ($19.00) - pizzas are a better portion but there wasn't much eggplant on it. Tasted more artichoke than eggplant. The spiciness comes from the chili oil. Standard flavours. - Mind your manner ($22.00) - not sure where the "wagyu" comes in; we couldn't tell the difference. The hot honey was an interesting addition. Added some sweetness but nothing over the top. AK was good, simple Italian fare but the portion size is somewhat lacking. 3.5 stars.
