There are so many incredible Calgary restaurants to try out.

Whether they’re new spots or must-try staples, most people have a few restaurants on their list that they intend to try. This comes with risk, especially when you don’t get to hit the town as often as you might like.

Recently, Reddit user Both_Panda_6382 posted to the r/Calgary thread asking users to comment on “What restaurant has “wowed” you recently?

“After a string of disappointing experiences at overpriced or overhyped restaurants in Calgary, I’ve been feeling a little down on the scene here,” posted Both_Panda_6382. “What place have you tried recently that really blew you away?”

Here are some of the Calgary restaurants that users mentioned “wowed” them recently.
