"When I lived in Calgary, I regularly ate my body weight in chicken shawarma wraps. Jimmy’s has the best chicken shawarma in Calgary of course, but I also loved my regular visits to Falafel King and Cedars Deli. Moving from Calgary to Canmore was amazing, but I was saddened when I discovered that there was no chicken shawarma restaurant in Canmore."

"You’ve been up since 6 am and eaten your weight in trail mix and granola bars, and now it’s time for a big feed. There are plenty of places in town where you can go to regain the energy you’ve spent adventuring, such as Magpie and Stump. This isa cool little Mexican restaurant that’s popular with the locals."

"One of the first restaurants we tried out in Banff and LOVED it. And it’s Mexican, what’s not to like?. The Magpie and Stump is a great place for lunch – try tacos or burritos with Jarrito or Margarita in their rooftop patio."

"A casual Mexican joint offering all your favorites in a rustic wood setting dotted with antiques. The vibe is Wild-West-meets-Tijuana, and the spot has proved a favorite of people passing through and locals alike."
