Yeehaw! We arrived in Calgary – the city of rodeos and cowboys. We’re yet to see such Western fare; so far it has been a whirlwind of Flat Whites, site-seeing, train catching and neck massages in relief from gazing up at the sky scrapers. Welcome to the city!

Despite being complete non-chain-store eaters, we have enjoyed the odd treat from Jugo Juice and Yogen Früz. We have explored a number of markets – farmers and more mainstream commercial ones. We have sussed out the local, natural grocery stores and observed (in grief) the damage from the horrendous flooding earlier this year. We have conquered the transit system and been awed by Car2Go – a brilliant means of transport for those trying to get around without their own car.

Most importantly we have become well acquainted with the two top cafes in town – Caffe Rosso and Phil & Sebastian.

Both of us have a month’s break from Calgary while I travel and Jesse undergoes training for his new job, but when we return we will be on the prowl for more excellent food stops – suggestions are well-welcomed!
