Coyotes Southwestern Grill, Banff
Of all the days I’ve spent skiing, partying, hiking and hanging out in Banff, I’ve never once seen or heard of Coyotes Southwestern Grill. It seems a shame that I only just discovered this little gem of a gluten-free friendly spot. There have been so many times that I’ve been in Banff, craving a good,…
Jukebox Burgers, Montreal
Some may indulge in chocolates, candies or other sweet things but me? I’m a burger and fries gal. I don’t enjoy them often but when I do, I go all out. Kevin and I were on one of our weekend adventures recently when we heard an ad for Jukebox Burgers on the radio. I haven’t…
Aux Vivres, Montreal
I’d never been to a full-on vegan restaurant until we visited Montreal earlier this month. There’s such a healthy, take-care-of-your-body, organic pulse to the city, it’s fabulous. Just as I had with Crudessence, I went to Aux Vivres twice. Partly because I was in the mood for another vegan meal, and also because I couldn’t…
Crudessence, Montreal
It’s a hard knock life for raw foodists here in cow town. Not only does the climate not support a raw diet; being that it’s Winter practically all the time here, the raw resources in this city are practically nonexistent. Saying it’s a challenge being a raw vegan in Calgary would be an understatement. Heck,…
Zucchini Blossom, Medicine Hat
Kevin and I spent one full day of our recent camping trip to Cypress Hills putzing around Walmart supercenter, eating out and touring Medicine Hat. What’s that? Campers don’t go out for lunch? Well, they do when their name is Leanne and all she wants for lunch is a panini. A little searching on my…
Madly Organic, Calgary
psst… I just posted the winner for the goat dairy giveaway. Check to see if you won! It was recommended by a friendly Facebook follower that I make my way into the city to check out Madly Organic – a new gluten-free friendly cafe in Calgary. Upon doing a bit of investigating I was pleasantly…
Communitea Cafe, Canmore
Nestled in the beautiful city of Canmore, with a healthy dose of gluten-free menu items, Communitea Cafe has been on our list of places to visit for a long time now. The cafe is in a great location, just around the corner from the main road that runs through downtown Canmore, and a couple of…
Canada Dosa Corner
Don’t let the construction tape on the sign fool you, this place is an absolute gem. From the delightfully proud and loving owners, to the classic presentation of South Indian cuisine, Canadian Dosa Corner has easily become my new favorite place to grab a nourishing lunch during the workweek. When I was asked to choose…
The Coup, Calgary
This was the scene outside of our house yesterday morning before I headed into the city to meet a friend for brunch. It’s May… come on now, is snow really necessary? The white stuff made highway visibility really poor and slow-going, but it was well worth it knowing that there was a delicious meal at…
Blue Star Diner, Calgary
Kevin and I were downtown this week dropping his Harley off at the stop and decided to treat ourselves for lunch before we went back to the office. We were in the Bridgeland area, the hub of some of our favorite restaurants like Sushi Bar Zipang, Tazza, and Main Dish. It’s tough to make a…
