Buco in EPCOR Tower for lunch. Solid.

 

[MacLac]

Yup! Especially now with Hockey season starting. Nothing like parking in Epcor and indulging at Buco pregame. Simple pastas and their Ribeye is a steal for 2 people to share with their Arancini and Galamad aka Calamari to start with …..now you made me hungry

Not something I would suggest people try to compare, But my wife and I were talking about food in hospitals yesterday. GR is not the best in fact quite bad at times. I tend to bring food in for her. But we have to say Sturgeon had the best overall meals. U of A had the best breakfasts. When she started on solid foods again at the U the meals were interesting in style. Lemon dill salmon. another night butter chicken. And who ever makes their lasagna is good. The vegetarian one is good t both the U and GR.

With my grandmother recently having stayed in the Mis, I would confidently vote them as last. Just horrible.

My wife said for quite a while the food was made off site and brought to the hospitals reheated. Now they cook on site again.

Both Fawkes and Bar Oro were hopping today. Bar Oro has expanded its menu and its hours. Their patio is heated and seems quite popular. As for Fawkes, I've never seen it not almost at capacity.

Hmmmm……this could bode well for an expansion of the Keg. “Spin off from Fairfax’s Recipe Unlimited Brands as a standalone company.”

Yup, it attracts a solid and consistent crowd, but there were 20000 people Downtown today and my local coffee shop, Fluffy Bakery, had 40 people in it when normally there is 5.

I think Ragazzi is the crowd favourite and hard to compete with, but personally I have a soft spot for Tony's as my overall favourite. All the good memories there probably skew my opinion a bit though haha

Don't go into Tony's and even mutter 'Ragazzi' or else the Mob will be after you! Same goes for if you're in Ragazzi's and you mention Tony's - apparently the two families have beef.

Sabor's new 'Atrium' space

How's the offering? I can't seem to find anything about it on their website, and perhaps it's in plain sight and I'm overlooking it. There are a few pieces of information on opentable but that seems incomplete too.

 

[IanO]

Their lunch menu is simple, but good.

Nice nails Ian

Love Sabour and happy this new space is more accessible. There are way to many restaurants that are not wheelchair friendly. .

Another opportunity (EDBA AGM) to enjoy this beautiful space.
