Each year, we ask Avenue readers to vote for their favourite restaurants in Calgary in our Best Restaurants readers’ choice ballot. These are some of their favourite places in the city.
Winner
Notable
Notable has called Calgary’s Montgomery community home for 15 years. The restaurant offers a cozy setting to enjoy dishes like rotisserie chicken, steak tartare and grilled salmon. And good news for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies, as most of Notable’s menu can be made gluten-free upon request.

Jimmy’s A&A
Originally a corner store selling deli meats and imported goods in the early ‘90s, Jimmy’s A&A has grown to be a community hub serving up classic Mediterranean dishes. This neighbourhood eatery near SAIT is a go-to spot for generous portions of falafel, shawarma, tabouli and stuffed grape leaves. The family-run business is known for its welcoming environment and delicious bites that are well worth the price.
