Itās set to open sometime this fall.

Opening sometime this month, this popular concept will be opening up in the Hillhurst community.
Becoming one of the most popular YYC burger restaurants, this will be the third Calgary location.
Served on Martinās Famous Potato Rolls, the burger options are simple: single, double, or triple patty. Then, choose from any of the near 20 sides to make the burger however you want. Most are free, but there are also premium toppings like crispy bacon, a fried egg, or even a samosa.
Address: Hillhurst on 19th Street NW, Calgary

Offering contemporary dishes with French influences, this newly renovated restaurant and bar look like itās going to have an impressive menu and room to match.
The name comes from the fine print you would find in a newspaper because this new spot is located inside the historic brick and sandstone building that was originally the home of the Calgary Herald, first built back in 1893.
Each room and area promises to offer a different vibe for whatever you might be looking for. There will be a front wine lounge as soon as you calk in, as well as a central bar for drinks and snacks, a large central dining room, an intimate four-seat kitchen roost, and even a private dining area for special occasions.
Address: 113 8th Avenue SW, Calgary
Cloud Naan

Serving freshly baked naan in a traditional wood-fired brick oven, the items here are made with āfusion flavours from around the world.ā
There are nearly 20 different savoury stuffed naan menu items here, including many different types of chicken, beef, mutton, and vegetarian options.
This one might open in the winter, but we’re hoping to see it this fall.
Address: 17th Avenue SW, Calgary
Brix + Barrel

The concept is still hidden in secrecy, but ādelicious cocktails are on the horizon,ā as promised on the Instagram page. Both Rooftop and recently closed Ceilis have devoted followers, so a new resto from Umbrella Group Hospitality is very exciting news for many in YYC.

This franchise is known for its contemporary interiors and quality desserts, and will soon be arriving in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Calgary.

The popular sweet shop closed over a year ago in order to move into a newer, bigger location. It looks like that time is almost here.
This spot will be reopening soon in the Dominion building in the wonderful Bridgeland community sometime in September. This relocation was originally planned to happen back in spring, but after a few construction setbacks, it was pushed to the fall.
The bakery gets its name from its specialty: āMariā means ārollā in Korean, and their gorgeous roll cakes are indeed a top draw.
Flavours include whatās in their regular rotation, like raspberry, blueberry, chocolate, and matcha, as well as special flavours, like coffee, pineapple-coconut, and sour cherry-almond, among others.
Address: 78 9th Street NE, Calgary
