Good Eateries in Calgary

Chianti’s! Thank you!

Back in the heady, dot.com days of 2000 I got to spend two weeks in Calgary. My company’s office was on 17th Avenue, within walking distance of Chianti’s. We ate there twice while I was up there, and loved it both times. As soon as I saw the title of this thread, that’s the restaurant I was thinking about, but couldn’t remember the name.

A year later, my wife and I spent our honeymoon in Calgary and Banff. Ate at Melrose, Joey Tomato’s, and Brewster’s in Calgary, and the Maple Leaf Inn and Grizzly House in Banff. Don’t know if they’re not the best places, but just mentioning any of these places gets both my wife and myself misty.

As soon as we’re out of debt, the first paycheck is putting us on a plane to Calgary.
