Hungry, YYC? Maybe we’re projecting but we think that you could use a bite, but where to go, hmm? This city has no shortage of funky spots, delicious restos and popups and the only downside is having to narrow it down – but that’s what we’re here for! Here are 5 flavourful Calgary restaurants you should check out this weekend!

K-Town Chicken

Toto, we have a feeling we’re not in Kentucky anymore… No shade to all other fried chicken places, but K-Town may actually be the best of the best. Seriously, if you guys haven’t check this place out, it might ruin your tastebuds for anything and everything else. Pair a drumstick of their crispy bliss with their Soy Garlic sauce and wow. Life-changing. 

Where: 919 Centre St NW, Calgary

We dig a good popup here at Curiocity – and we’re also a big fan of handhelds, so ConMi Taco is just… * chef’s kiss.* Not only is their food extremely tasty and super dippable. their temp resto is also super COVID friendly. If you’re not ready to head out just yet, you can actually order a taco kit to be delivered to your home!

Where: 821 1 St SW, Calgary, AB

Nan’s Noodle House

Calgary’s newest spot, Nan’s Noodle House is basically the herbivorous answer to the perfect cozy fall meal but don’t thank us yet. There’s even more to this spot than meets the menu! Not only is this adorable express noodle house a cute little place to warm up from the inside out, but it’s also a spot where you’ll be able to pick up a variety of Thai sauces, grab and go meals, vegan proteins, AND specialty plant-based foods that you probably won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Where: 3103B Edmonton Trail NE, Calgary

Popup Series.0

Last call, Calgary! YYC’s month-long technicolour ode to hallucinogens will only be up and running until the 30th. This weekend, pull up to the space left unoccupied by Royale, enjoy food and drink from Zilfords Chicken and Taiko Canteen, and wind down under the neon lights.

Where: 30 17th Ave SW, Calgary

Starlite Diner Car

This weekend, grab a tasty old school bite at the Starlite Diner Car in Bowden. Yes, this one is a bit of a drive, but the decor alone is totally worth it – also there is a ton to do around the area! Check out the sunflower fields or a u-pick then hit up Starlite for a burger, a coffee, and a new Instagram profile picture.

Where: 30 17th Ave SW, Calgary

Alright, Calgary, there you have it, flavourful and funky restaurants you should check out this weekend! Wipe your chin, get out there and enjoy! Happy snacking!
