"Devonian garden is a massive indoor park and botanical garden with over 550 trees, 20,000 plants, a green wall, koi ponds, a children’s play area, and sculptures by local artists, all designed as a part of a seasonal natural exhibition. The building now also has a shopping mall integrated within that redefines the nature of the experience of such a commercial activity among peace and natural beauty."

"Galaxie Diner defies all expectations as it serves breakfast as late as 3:00 PM. This diner is headed by Brad Myhre, a long-time patron of smoked meat eateries who insists on using pure maple syrup and real butter on the restaurant’s dishes. Given this taste and background, Galaxie Diner serves breakfast editions of burritos, smoked meat hash, and meat omelettes."

But the kitschy vibe, robust dishes and quick service make it worthwhile — not to mention the endless coffee refills while in line. 1413 11 St. S.W., 403-228-0001, galaxiediner.ca"
