Saying Goodbye: Calgary restaurants that have closed recently
As we all know by now, the restaurant industry is a notoriously fickle one, and while there are always exciting openings to look forward to, there are also a fair few closures.
In Calgary, there have been some sad losses to the city’s food scene recently, from a local brewery to one of the city’s long-standing plant-based cafes.
If you’re looking to stay up to date on the latest casualties, here are some of the most notable closures in Calgary over the last month.

Denny’s confirmed that its 17th Avenue outpost closed in August after operating for just over four years. No reason was given for the closure.
The spot was known for its all-day breakfast, including its signature slams and pancakes, burgers, and other diner staples.
Luckily for Denny’s fans in Calgary, the chain still operates several locations across the city

Mondays Plant Cafe, a popular Bridgeland plant-based cafe, has revealed that it will be closing its doors in August after almost a decade.
“After nearly 10 magical years, we’re announcing that August will be the final month of business for Mondays Plant Cafe,” owners Megan Pope and Ali Magee said in an Instagram post.
As for what’s next for the space, the plant-based community will be pleased to hear that popular vegan bakery and cafe, Canela, is poised to open its second location at the former Mondays outpost.

Earlier this month, Zero Issue Brewing shared that it had closed its taproom doors after eight years.
“Nemesis has been vanquished, and now we find ourselves in a state of Cryostasis. We aimed for Infinity, but the Venom ran deep, and we are now all but a Fossil, Artifact, or perhaps just a Relic Remnant in the memories of the many cherished friends we have made along the way,” it said in an Instagram post.
While Zero Issue is no more (for now), the brewery added that it hopes for a revival at some point.
