Calgary Travel Forum

Can anyone suggest locations for lunch *near* the university? We usually use public transport to go out for lunch after class on Friday, and we're running out of ideas. Restaurants MUST have vegetarian options and should be accessible by either C-Train (from University station) or one of the following busses: 9, 72, 73, 20, 19, 119 in less than thirty minutes. We prefer locally owned restaurants rather than chains.

Try the Redwater Grille, it's walking distance from the university, across the street from Foothills Hospital. I don't know for sure if they have a veggie choice, but most higher end restaurants do these days.

You could also pick up the latest free copy of City Palate magazine, available at Planet Organic near Market Mall. Also do a search on Where.ca:

I could ask my siblings who live in that end of Calgary. I quite enjoyed the burgers we had at a Dairy Queen near McMahon (sp?) Stadium last time I was in Calgary, but I didn't ask if they had a veggie-burger.

We don't really eat fast food.

Ice cream for lunch sure would be good though ;o)

although this is closer to sait take the c train to sunnyside stn. In kensington there are many choices

On 10st at about 4 ave nw shawarma station (Lebanese) very very good!
for more of a dessert place, just off kensington rd. there is a crepe place called the blue danube in the basement beside the polish canadian club.
closer to the U, have you tried Saigon Y2K? right across from the stadium.

enjoy
