Best Casual Restaurants in Downtown

Wonderful service, not only from the server but from the whole front of house team. Very balanced and creative menu. Cocktails were also very well put together and all in all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had 3 starters and 2 mains and had a tough time picking a favourite! We will definitely return to sample more of the menu as we had a hard time choosing. Highly recommend.

I was here for Valentine’s Day 2025 and despite how busy The Guild was the staff were still very accommodating, and went above and beyond. I definitely will be coming back again, the atmosphere, the vibe of it all was awesome.

First time to National. Loved the booth we were given, our waitress was very attentive and nice and the pizza was the best I've ever had, the crust was perfect. I would recommend a Dragonfruit soda as well.

Here’s a polished review you can use for KAMA in Calgary: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing dining experience at KAMA! The Hugo Spritz was a standout cocktail—light, refreshing, and the perfect way to start the evening. The wine selection recommended to us was absolutely fantastic and paired beautifully with our meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, offering thoughtful suggestions that made for a wonderful shared dining experience. The dishes were flavorful, well-presented, and perfect for enjoying with good company. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere at KAMA is just stunning. The restaurant has a warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to stay and savor every moment. We love that it is locally owned. We will definitely be back with friends to enjoy this gem again! Highly recommend.

Lovely and relaxed late lunch at Pigeonhole downtown. Even though it was Valentine’s Day and a bit busy we had a relaxed and nicely timed late lunch and helpful and just-right attentive service. Food is excellent and loved the selection of by the glass wines. Thank you!
