‘Tis the season for trying new places to eat in Calgary.

Over the fall and early winter, a handful of new restaurants opened in the city. With those, the people of Calgary have new spots for drinks and brews, international cuisine, and desserts. We recently saw the opening of a few local chains in the city, along with a big North American chain.

The 6

Visit them in downtown Calgary for the rolls, the large appetizer menu, and drinks imported from Japan.

Salt & Brick

Kelowna’s Salt & Brick restaurant now has a brand new location in Calgary. They celebrated their grand opening in mid-November and will keep Calgarians on their toes.
