| Earl's www |  | General | Informal | Earl's serves good food at reasonable prices, but among the good dishes are some very ordinary ones, and some of the small details, like homemade fries are missing, and the hamburger buns don't seem strong enough to support the hamburgers. Good vegetarian selection. | #600 5005 Dalhousie Dr. NW 403 547-5723 1110 - 16Ave. NW 403 289-2556 | 3030 - 23 St. NE 403 291-6700 | 2401 4 St. SW 403 228-4141 Westhills Shopping Centre 403 246-7171 315 - 8 Ave. SW (Banker's Hall) 403 265-3275 10640 Macleod Tr. S. 403 278-7860 | 3012 - 17 Ave. SE 403 271-3275 | 201 Wolfe St. Banff 403 762-4414 | ||
| eat! eat! in inglewood |  | Diner | Informal | The day beings with breakfast and then runs into the usual selection of soups and salads, burger and sandwiches, drinks and desserts. The food was good, but not outstanding. The service, however, was depressingly slow. In fact, our server told the people at the table next to us that she had waited until Boxing Day to have her Christmas dinner. We thought she must have eaten at her own restaurant. It would probably have taken that long. Good vegetarian selection. | 1325 9 Ave. SE 403 532-1933 | ||||||
| Eddy's Nest Pizza, Pasta & Steak | | Pizza | Take Out/ Delivery | We are judging this one only on the "pizza" part. Take out steak seems a little sacrilegious. But the pizza is full–bodied though a little on the un-spicy side. There is free delivery for those within a 5 km. radius. Good vegetarian selection. | 735 - 12 Ave. SW 403 244-3838 | ||||||
| 1886 Café | | General | Informal | This small café is set in one of the last original wooden buildings in the Prince's Island area, right in the middle of the Eau Claire Market complex. They specialize in breakfast, and the food is good, but the service rather unfriendly. | 187 Barclay Parade SW (Eau Claire Market) 403 269-9255 | Open 7 days a week at 7 a.m. | |||||
| El Sombrero Restaurante Mexicano |  | Latin American | Informal | The helpings of Mexican food are freshly-cooked and generous and the occasional serenade of Latin music gives this small second floor eatery a pleasant cosy ambiance. But there was a certain sameness in the dishes, and the mañana service was a little too laid-back. Reservations recommended. | 520 - 17 Ave. SW 403 228-0332 | Su 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. M 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Tu to F 11:45 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sa 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. | |||||
| Extreme Bean Café | | General | Informal | As the name implies, this started as a small coffee house just outside of the downtown area, but has grown over the years to a spot frequented by Foothills Hospital staff, residents of the area and many downtown drones wanting to escape the usual eateries in that area. It has become known as a place of sandwiches—hot and cold—soups, salads, smoothies, milkshakes, and daily specials of all kinds. Unfortunately for this review, we had been told that the wor won ton soup was the best in Calgary, so we all tried it. It wasn't. But we have promised ourselves to return and try some of the other goodies and maybe up the rating a bit. Good vegetarian selection. | 3303 - 3 Ave. NW (off Memorial Drive just below Foothills Hospital) 403 283-6820 | All Day Every Day |
