The food scene in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood just got even better. The District at Beltline is a new 5,600-square-foot food hall that brings six chef-driven eateries together in one space. Many guests will already be familiar with the chefs behind the food hall’s six eateries or their popular sister restaurants. The District at Beltline is home to Greenfish, Modern Burger, Oishidesu Ramen Shack, Roy’s Korean Kitchen, Shrub Bloom and Takori. Together, the vendors cover everything from vegan sushi to Asian-inspired tacos that guests can get for takeaway or to eat in the food hall.

If all that weren’t enough to make this a foodie destination, there’s even more coming. Soon, the area (formerly the IBM Corporate Park) will also feature 33C from Vancouver-based 33 Acres Brewery Company, as well as new restaurants like Kama from chef Kenny Kaechele, Fire and Flora from Shrub Bloom’s chef Adam Ryan and Central from the team behind Craft Beer Market.

The District at Beltline is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
