Where to eat Calgary downtown?
Hubby and I are staying Downtown Calgary on Saturday and was hopeing for some reccomendations on where to eat. We are staying at the Palliser so want somewhere within a shortish walking distance. We're not into fine dining so will be avoiding the hotel restaurant. Oh and OH will get travel sick if we were to dine in the Calgary Tower restaurant

The one round the corner from us is no match to the one in Old Strathcona.
If you go to the Saltlick order the Scalloped Potatoes
They are to die for.

Generally whenever i have been there it is a quiet pub throughout the day and after 7 at night it's a lot busier and more drunkards.

Re: Where to eat Calgary downtown?
Wish i'd seen this post last year, We had to find something quick for the kids to eat in calgary - ended up in McD's on the pedestrianised street downtown (8th??) and I walked in on a drug deal going on in the washroom, the whole place was full of the least desirable clientele i have ever seen in a restaurant - we left very quickly!
