The Fifth: New Calgary retail space aims to be open by the end of January
Food halls and restaurant hubs are definitely trending right now in Calgary, and The Fifth looks to be the next big one.
First Street Market announced its exciting lineup of food vendors all under one roof back in June, and have been a popular spot to grab a bite since its opening in August.
The District at Beltline, opening at the end of February, recently announced the list of local restaurants that would be opening up there.
It looks like another food hub in Calgary will be opening soon, this time on 17th Avenue.

From the creators of another beloved Calgary breakfast spot Bro’kin Yolk, Bro’s To Go has been serving breakfast sandwiches in the northwest for a while now. This new spot will be a convenient location to grab one of the best breakfast sandwiches in Calgary. There are seven different breakfast sandwiches to choose from, each one entirely unique and delicious. Bro’s To Go hopes to be open sometime in March.
The Mash

With four locations in the Calgary area already, many people are already aware of The Mash. Serving craft beer from Half Hitch Brewing and pizza made in-house with up-cycled spent grain, The Mash is going to be a great place to stop in and hang on 17th Ave. Arriving near the beginning of spring, The Mash is hoping to be open sometime in March.
Milpa

It’s been a long wait to see the opening of this spot ever since it had an extremely popular five-day run as a pop-up restaurant at Shelter Cocktail Bar. Milpa translates to “three sisters” and is a word for a sustainable agriculture technique that focuses on the marriage
of corn, beans, and squash. The food here is veggie-forward, with inspirations from Mexico and Canada. The food is uniquely designed, gorgeous to look at, and completely delicious. Milpa is coming, but won’t officially be opening until late this summer.
