7. Eat Crow
Another concept change, Eat Crow grew out of the now-closed Brasserie Kensington, with the emphasis shifting to a humble drinks ‘n’ snacks vibe. Think small-scale pub food with a distinctively chef-y touch.
100, 1131 Kensington Rd. N.W., 403-457-4148, eatcrowyyc.com
8. The Radiant
The Radiant has brought a new spark of excitement to one of Banff Avenue’s most iconic heritage buildings. The art deco cabaret-style room is gorgeous, with an elegant and adventurous menu to match.
Unit 101, 111 Banff Ave., 403-985-0730, theradiantbanff.ca
9. Rain Dog Bar
Calgary’s coolest new drinking hole, Bill Bonar’s Rain Dog Bar is all about extraordinary beer and comforting food that pairs well with an above-average brew.
1214 9th Ave S.E. (upstairs), 403-457-7263, raindogbar.com
10. Free House
Another beer bar, but with a completely different flavour, Free House is a celebration of local micro-brews, with a casual but remarkably well-executed menu.
1153 Kensington Crescent N.W., 403-452-1339, freehouseyyc.com
11. VBurger
Yes, this is a fast-food joint, but it’s shockingly delicious with a completely vegan burger and ice cream menu that’s incredibly crave-worthy even if you do eat meat.
819 17th Ave. S.W., 587-387-7272, heyvburger.com
12. Ponshu/Ajito
In the early part of the year, chef Takeshi Kawabe turned the back room at Sho sushi restaurant into Ajito, an izakaya speakeasy. This fall the Crowfoot Sakana Grill got similar treatment when it was transformed into Ponshu. Showy, dramatic, and delicious, both put a fun spin on Japanese cuisine.
Ponshu: 10 Crowfoot Cir. N.W., 403-208-9799, ponshu.ca
Ajito: 7212 Macleod Tr., 403-252-7099, ajito.ca
