Mot To is one of the best new restaurants in Canada, and one of the best places for Vietnamese food in Calgary.
There are quite a few hearty comfort dishes here that would be great for a sick day on the couch, but one dish you have to get is the pho noodle soup. The hot broth and hearty ingredients should do the trick to get you back on your feet.

Super Greens Salad

Dirtbelly has warm bowls, sweet sips, and plenty of sides, but itâs the freshly tossed salads that have made this spot so popular.
If you’re feeling sick, this veg-centric menu of earthy gems is ideal, with eight different salads with mouth-watering names, like the Charred Pesto, Buffalo Cauli, Curry Cauliflower, and Farmberry salads. You can choose any of these bowls and also add the protein of your choice, including roast chicken, cajun chicken, avocado, veggie patty, ahi tuna, or a scoop of quinoa.
For maximum health, we suggest the Super Greens salad tossed with arugula, spinach, quinoa, roasted broccoli, feta, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, almonds, chili flakes, and drizzled with a lemon dijon vinaigrette.
