Vimy’s Lounge and Grill – Waterton, Alberta

While our visit in Waterton, we decided to have breakfast at Vimy’s Lounge and Grill which was located in behind the hotel we were staying at.

I ordered the Vimy’s Breakfast which had 2 eggs, maple sausage with toast and hashbrowns. The links of sausages were excellent! Both my husband and I approved such wonderful sausages!

The other breakfast we ordered was their Eggs Benny Poutine which was poached eggs on hashbrowns, covered with cheese and hollandaise sauce.

The overall experience here was quite amazing! The scenery inside and out was amazing, with wild animals just outside the door. The food, service and price was extraordinary!

Thirsty Bear Saloon – Waterton, Alberta

We recently took a road trip and made it to Waterton where we called it a night. We weren’t too hungry but we figured we should go grab something to eat regardless, so we figured we’d go to their local place and grab some wings. We walked into Thirsty Bear Saloon outside the Bayshore Inn hotel.

Once we were inside, we were the only table, but apparently we were their first guests for the season! They just opened for the May long weekend, and it was pretty neat! It definitely looked like it was the place to go for both tourists and locals at the end of the night!

We just ordered our drinks and some Chicken Wings and we had them in Honey Garlic flavour which was very tasty! The wings were really good and quite unique as we were expecting a saucy wing but it wasn’t! We really enjoyed them dry and flavourful with some dipping sauce on the side.

We really enjoyed our experience here and we haven’t stopped talking about returning to the Waterton area soon again!

Kiro Sushi – Calgary, Alberta

We decided to go to Kiro Sushi for lunch this one afternoon, and we’re happy we did. Just located off 130th Avenue in the southeast, it makes it pretty easy to find dining options, so it was nice that we came here.

I found that the interior quite interesting and it reminded me with the interior that was here before Kiro came!

We started with some Spicy Tuna Sashimi which was quite spicy and the tuna was pretty good and very well seasoned.

Then, we had a little plate of Assorted Sushi with salmon, surf clams and inari! The sushi was quite satisfying!

One thing we love eating most is udon, so we ordered a bowl of Beef Udon, and when it came, it was a large bowl of soup. The beef wasn’t too tender but the flavours of the broth was quite delicious.

Just when we thought we were full, and we were ready to leave – we totally forgot we ordered the Pineapple Express sushi roll, which turned out to be the best dish of the visit!

Overall, it’s a nice sushi place to eat! It’s a nice sit down sushi place that offers decent food!

Starlight Chinese Restaurant‎ – Airdrie, Alberta

We found another small town restaurant that offers Chinese & Western buffet so we didn’t give up the oppertunity to try them out. This time, we found ourselves in Airdrie at the Starlight Chinese Restaurant located in a strip plaza off Yankee Valley Blvd with tons of parking, it’s a great location!

The buffet was a pretty decent sized buffet, with delicious options, but one thing that stood up for me was the quality of the food. Even with soups, they had both wonton soup and hot & sour soup!

The food here was really good and it actually got quite busy around the noon hour! It was a fabulous experience!

Overall, we loved the experience here and we know we’ll be back!

Cochrane Palace Restaurant – Cochrane, Alberta

There’s something satisfying about small time Chinese/Western buffets which I know it as smorgs as we use to have a family restaurant in Medicine Hat. Now, as it’s not available to me, I find myself craving it, so we’re been driving around Alberta small towns looking for smorgs where we found one in Cochrane called Cochrane Palace near their downtown. Tons of parking and the space is large!

Once we were inside, we were seated for buffet and basically they release you to the buffet! There are tons of options at this buffet and their food was simple – which is how it’s suppose to be!

We had a few plates of food, tried their wonton soups and we left satisfied. The dim sum didn’t have a lot, but it’s something unique here as dim sum’s are not normally in Chinese/Western buffets!

We enjoyed the selection of food here as they offered some roast, some dim sum, and their fried foods was really well fried! I did find the food to be a little on the bland side, but a dallop of hot sauce can go a long way!
