"A post shared by Yellow Door Bistro (@yellowdooryyc) on Dec 17, 2017 at 10:02am PST. Yellow Door Bistro offers a new pancake creation each month, making this a must-stop brunch spot for those who are excited to keep trying new things. February’s pancake is a lemon ricotta pancake, which has been brought back especially for the restaurant’s fifth anniversary."

"Housed within the Hotel Arts property, Yellow Door offers breakfast daily, as well as a weekend Brunch Buffet. This isn’t your usual bland hotel breakfast. Choose from gourmet dishes, customizable oats, dessert bar, and so much more."

"Cassis Bistro is a warm and inviting restaurant serving authentic dishes inspired by the South of France and their Chef’s family recipes and years of experience. Their meals are created with local, seasonal, and organic produce hand-selected daily. They believe that the most important memories created at the table are filled with good food and wine, shared with family and friends."

"Cassis Bistro is a charming eatery offering flavors from the south of France with local influences in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Enjoy spectacular specialties such as the Croque Monsieur, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Tarte A L’Oignon, or Pork Belly Rôti. Several French and Canadian wines are also available, and they are perfect for pairing with their delicious dishes."

"The park-like patio at Rouge is a relaxing way to enjoy fine gourmet dining in an historic environment. Rouge sits in the Cross House, once home to Calgary and Western Canada’s first brewery: the Calgary Brewing and Malting Co. The Inglewood building is now home to one of the most beautiful patios in Calgary, where you can sip wine and cocktails, snack on appetizers, and soak in the surrounding beauty."

"Located in beautiful red Victorian heritage home in historic Inglewood, Rouge has earned its reputation as one of the city’s finest dining spots. The impeccable menu is seasonal and French-inspired and often features ingredients from Rouge’s expansive backyard garden. Complete your meal with a special bottle from the restaurant’s extensive wine cellar."

"The two-level Italian eatery on 17th Avenue has a large menu, resulting in options for any and all taste buds. Since Cibo is such a large space, it can easily accommodate big groups, so you might as well invite the grandparents out for dinner too. (1012 17 Ave. S.W., 403-984-4755, cibocalgary.com, @cibocalgary)"

"1012 17th Avenue S.W. The large, west-facing patio at this casual Italian restaurant is full of flowers and even has a herb garden. A sunny spot to enjoy a signature pizza and a glass of wine.cibocalgary.com"

"Another great introduction to the city’s growing art scene is Contemporary Calgary, a fusion of the Art Gallery of Calgary with its allies, the Museum of Modern Contemporary Art Calgary and the Institute of Modern and Contemporary Art. Formerly a planetarium, the iconic 1967 landmark recently underwent modernisation, and now plays host to a range of rotating exhibitions – among them, a scale model of the moon and artwork by Yoko Ono and John Lennon. Contemporary Calgary also hosts various distinguished speakers, as well as offering outreach and education programmes."

"This inspiring modern-art gallery has three floors of temporary exhibits that change every four months. The gallery is now in the former Centennial Planetarium in the southwest of Calgary, with displays of modern..."

"Still getting adjusted to the new “ no restrictions” dining experience. We sat on the patio, which was nice & open. Food was amazing…as usual!"

"The Establishment was essentially born of the 2013 southern Alberta floods and the destruction brought about by them. After their brew lab was gutted by the flood, the people at Establishment started from scratch to build a brand-new lab to bring you their great local beers once again. They now offer 14 beers on tap that you can enjoy on their central-Calgary patio."

"The Cabin Brewing Company embodies the feeling of an ultimate escape. It is a home away from home, a respite from the stresses of work and the regularity of everyday life. Here, they offer a space for customers to be themselves."

"OT is a family-owned and operated Calgary brewery who offer a similar type of atmosphere in their taproom and on their patio: it is warm, it is inviting, and they’ll make you feel at home. But they have something your home doesn’t: a huge selection of their own craft beers!. And if you’re looking for the ultimate boozy cool-down, try a Tipsy Stix freezie made with Tipsy Stix vodka."

"Tried some new dishes: the breaded lemon so gai and BBQ pork fried rice hot. Pork fried dumplings were my favourite as always. Our group ate every last bit of a sweet and sour dish they said was really good."

"Cherry Inn restaurant is a family-owned business in Calgary, running for over 30 years now. Calgarians consider it the city’s hidden gem, which offers quality Chinese cuisines and satisfactory customer services. Photo from Cherry Inn website."
