Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

Thank you to the Westin Calgary, Travel Alberta and the restaurants linked below for hosting me! I am truly grateful for the experiences and as always, all opinions expressed in my posts are my own!

This past fall, I got the fun opportunity to travel to Alberta, Canada with Amanda and Stephanie. This wasn’t my first trip to Alberta, but it was my favorite! Fall is AMAZING in Alberta! Slightly smaller than the capital city of Edmonton, Calgary is beautiful in its fall colors and has a much larger foodie scene than I realized. We got to enjoy some very yummy treats and sleep extremely well in a remarkable hotel! What more could you want, right? Put these on your bucket list because this is definitely where to stay and eat in Calgary, Alberta, Canada!

Where To Stay

Westin Calgary

We stayed downtown at the Westin Calgary and couldn’t have had a better experience.

After checking in, I went up to my room and found it to be very spacious.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

The bed was comfortable and plush. It had that kind of duvet you just want to wrap up in!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

See what I mean with the amount of space it had? Huge flat screen TV and a mini fridge made it that much better!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

The bathroom was very nice with floor-to-ceiling glass shower doors and an upscale vanity.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

Since the hotel is very centrally located, so much was in easy walking distance. This makes your trip so much better when you can just zip to places easily without the hassle of dealing with the car! You will want to stay at the Westin Calgary for its location, comfort and friendly staff!

Where To Eat

Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

The first night in Calgary, we ate at Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey. Now honestly, being from the South, I thought how could BBQ here be as good as what we have back home?

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

I soon found the answer to that…they learned their BBQ-making skills from the South, specifically Texas. Their ribs were so tender, but my favorite was the brisket! The baked beans and green beans were also pretty tasty.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

This is the Tipsy Texan. Two words come to mind with this sandwich. Impressive and yummy!

The macaroni and cheese was to. die. for. !

How cool is this sign?

The Daily

We had breakfast at The Daily the next morning and it was the most unique little place.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

My Breakfast Poutine was amazing…

as was Stephanie’s Egghole Sandwich

and Amanda’s French Toast. How pretty is it?!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

My Fruit Bowl had a pretty snazzy presentation too!

Crave

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

If you are wanting yummy cupcakes, stop in at Crave for a selection of both classic and monthly features!

Burger 320

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

We had lunch at Burger 320 a fun little place with two locations in the Kensington and Bridgeland districts.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

The owners, Mario and Shannon, hand make everything and even grind their own meat!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

I am a huge ketchup fan, but their Balsamic Ketchup is now my absolute new favorite!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

They don’t only do burgers…you can customize your own ice cream taco with a waffle cone shell. How fun!!

RE: GRUB

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

RE: GRUB…yep, burger spelled backwards!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

They have awesome specialty burgers such as…

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

the El Bandido with jalapeño jack mac ‘n cheese, hickory spiked fried avocado, jalapeño jack cheese and pico de gallo…

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

and the Dude Ranch that has thick-cut bacon, aged cheddar, creamy bacon ranch, and a fabulous sunny-side-up egg. It was my favorite!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

You have to try Dante’s Peak Fries. They have a hickory spiced, spicy dirty ketchup, parsley, and a sunny-side-up egg. SO. YUMMY.

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

You can NOT leave without trying one of their outrageous, crazy milkshakes! Look at the artistry that goes into these!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

We tried the Cookie Monster, Krusty The Shake, and the Dr Peanut…

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

but, my favorite was the D Spot. I’m a sucker for ice cream sandwiches and chocolate syrup!

There is often a line, but don’t worry, they have a queue cam so you can see what the line looks like before you go!

Sweet Tooth Ice Cream

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

We stopped in at Sweet Tooth Ice Cream for their unique rolled ice cream!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

This was my first time to have rolled ice cream, even though I have been to Thailand where it originated!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

I had the London Fog with roasted earl grey, fruit loops, and honey. It was delectable!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

They brought out their Raindrop Cake for us to try. Originating in Japan, it was both interesting and yummy!

Fascinating, right??

Goro + Gun

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

Head over to Goro + Gun for the Ramen Burger. What a different concept to have ramen noodles for your bun! 😉

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

I tried their salmon sashimi too…Mmmm!

Paper Street

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

Make sure you stop in at Paper Street. I LOVED their concept of bringing street food from their travels to life with their own flair! It’s also a great, trendy place with a fabulous, upbeat atmosphere!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

Their Ramen Burger was my favorite because it included a sunny-side-up egg! Those tater tots were pretty delicious too!

Best Hotel Restaurants Calgary Alberta Canada

The Chicken and Waffle Cone was AMAZING! The chicken was all nestled in the cone on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and a chipotle maple slaw. The flavors paired very well together!

As you can see, Calgary has a fabulous foodie scene that you definitely want to check out! It also has the perfect place to stay in the Westin Calgary. Put these on your bucket list and check out things to do in Calgary coming soon!

Have you been to any of these places? Have a new foodie place to add? Leave me a comment and tell me about it!

‘Til next time…
