| Dragon Gate Restaurant |  | Chinese | Buffet | The service was non-existent, except for a point in the general direction of our table. We weren't even asked if we wanted a menu or to try the buffet, and no one offered us tea or anything else to drink. We did venture to the luncheon buffet, and found it to be well stocked with lukewarm bland food which had to be eaten with a fork as chop sticks were not an option. | 2024 - 33 Ave. SW 403 242-2210 | Su, Holidays

| Globefish Sushi & Izakaya www | | Japanese | Informal | The menu is extensive with lots of pictures for the uninitiated. There are many traditional favourites along with some of the more trendy recent concoctions like California rolls and even some local specialities such as Flames and Alberta rolls.

| Jugo Juice www | | Juice | Informal | The staff is friendly and have a good knowledge of what they are making—especially those strange extra ingredients.

| Kaffa Coffee and Salsa House |  | Coffee | Informal | This is one of Calgary's oldest coffee shops, situated in a rambling little house in Marda Loop. The colours are bright, and the eclectic signs and pictures on the walls are a pleasure to explore. The coffee and food items are good, but the rating dropped as a result of the unsmiling service, and staff who got three orders wrong in the short time we were there. Free parking in the rear. Good vegetarian selection. |
