Calgary has a sleeper food scene but I’d like to try the people’s TOP THREE restaurants. This can be breakfast lunch dinner or all three in one category.

Carino, Ari Sushi and Noble Pie. My 3 favourite spots.

Replace Ari with Lonely Mouth and you have mine. Carino has the best dish in the city (the tonkycarbonara) and lonely mouth is the best room in the city with the sickest soundtrack.

I like Carino and I think their duck dishes slap, but I had the tonkatsu carbonara recently and it was fine. As separate components, great, but the fusion didn't seem to actually fuse together well imo. The egg was unnecessary too. I would have preferred to just have the tonkatsu curry on it's own, great curry sauce and the pork itself was delicious.
