La Viena is definitely a whole in the wall in Calgary. (I know it’s not much to look at - but trust me) It’s super cozy and romantic. Our server was an older gentleman who waited the entire restaurant himself! He was very kind and helpful with the me...
La Viena Italian Restaurant
I went to Gyu Kaku alone on my 20th birthday and they made me feel so special! As someone who never tried bbq in this way before, they took the time to show me how to use everything safely. Now I’m a pro, haha. The food was amazing and the service wa...
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
I’ve been to Cardinale two times! Once with the ex I thought I’d be with forever. And then the next time was alone, celebrating my decision to tread new waters and go to university in a different country.
Both times the service was fantastic. The o...

I went to Deane House in the Summer and I can’t recommend it enough. You’re able to do a sandwich tasting and it’s super cute. We ended up inside because it was hot. And it was perfect. It had such a cottagey vibe to it.

Deane House
Cafes
This is a more unique cafe I’ve found. They do live music. And there’s a record player and you’re able to pick something to play, if that’s your jam.
Congress Coffee Company
Weeds has a cozy, vintage, bakery shop vibe going on. I love going here to study because it’s super spacious.
Weeds Cafe
I love Higher Ground. Idk what else to say. Great location, delicious menu, and it’s quiet enough during the week to get some stuff done!!

I’ve been to Greta a few times and it’s so fun. You buy tickets at the front to charge your card and it allows you to have access to all the arcades games inside. (I’m undefeated in Mario Kart, BTW) Also, there’s some yummy drinks and food options av...
Greta Bar
I went here on a date, bad date, but the drinks were amazing. (And the little bit of food I tried was also good - long story). Back to the drinks, I had a cocktail and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere in there can only be described as cozy but hecti...
Lonely Mouth Bar
Definitely go here at night. The view is absolutely gorgeous. You can see the entirety of the city light up. For drinks, I had the london fog and it was super yummy. They also have food here, it’s great as well. I did pasta. Go here for date night! (...
