| Hana Sushi |  | Japanese | Informal | This popular Fourth Street eatery serves a wide variety of Japanese food. However, we found that none of the selections really stood out from the crowd, and the batter on the tempura was a little heavy and soggy. | 1803 - 4 St. SW 229-1499 | Lunch M to F Dinner daily | |||||
| Harvey's |  | Hamburger | Fast Food | Our favourite we-put-on-it-what-you-want hamburger outlet. Watch though; the rating can fluctuate a little between outlets, but this usually stems from the service, not the food. Good vegetarian selection. | Brentwood Village Mall 282-2230 400 Country Hills Dr. NW 226-9546 (Home Depot) | Calgary International Airport 250-9177 Northgate Village Mall 272-9641 2520 - 52 St. NE 280-9448 | 5658 Signal Hill Ctr SW 240-0006 6500 MacLeod Tr.

| Hawkwood Palace Restaurant |  | Chinese | Informal | Friendly staff in a pleasant setting make this a sure destination for those in the area. Our decision was split on the food, however. There are some very good dishes, but these are balanced by some quite ordinary ones. So we're sitting on the fence with a 4 rating. You can come to your own conclusions. Good vegetarian selection. |

| Hi-Ball Restaurant |  | Chinese | Informal | Their $6.50 lunch buffet has a wide variety and their food in general is good at a low price, but unfortunately quantity and cheapness come at the expense of quality and taste with too much batter and dough and not enough meat and vegetables. Good vegetarian selection. | Stadium Shopping Centre 29 Street & 16 Ave. NW 284-3324 | Su and Holidays 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. M to Th 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.; 4 p.m. - 11 p.m. Fr, Sa 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.; 4 p.m. - midnight | |||||
| Higher Ground |  | Coffee | Informal | Our bias shows here. We prefer the locally owned shops to the large there's-one-on-every-corner kind. Higher Ground is an old Calgary tradition with good coffee, snacks and now a wine bar as well. It is made even more desirable by the 2-for-one offer on coffee with a ticket stub from the Plaza Theatre across the street. They also usually have water in a dish outside in the summer if your dog accompanies you on Kensington outings or if you're too cheap to buy a coffee. Good vegetarian selection; coffee and wine don't contain many meat products. Large Café Rollo | #1 1126 Kensington Rd. NW 270-3780 | Su to Th 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. F, Sa 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | |||||
| Highwood | | Gourmet | Buffet | SAIT houses one of the world's great schools for chefs as shown by the number of Olympic medals our cooking teams have won. The Highwood gives these students a change to show their strength. The buffet is one of the largest we have seen. Some of the dishes do try to hard to be new and different, but the overall impression is one of elegance and good taste. Good vegetarian selection. Reservations recommended. |

| The hot dog stand at the southeast corner of 3 St. & 7 Ave. SW | | Hot Dogs | Take Out | You get exactly what you would expect with an excellent price and product: hot, large hot dogs of various kinds, a few basic condiments, even including sauerkraut and a cold drink if you wish. Good vegetarian selection. | Ok, stop for a moment and guess where this place is and whether they have a phone or not. | Good weather only | |||||
| Home Food Inn Peking Cuisine |  | Chinese | Buffet | An overpriced buffet of mediocre dishes with the Western pallet in mind. | 5222 Macleod Tr. S W 259-8585 www |
