When you think of things that are short lived what comes to mind?
Let us help:
Jelly Sandals being ‘in’.
Justin Bieber’s career. (Hopefully.)
Kim Kardashian marriages.
Oh, and Calgary summers.
The leaves changing colour signals the fact that it’s time to seriously start thinking about being indoors. But don’t worry, we’ve put together a few fantastic options to help you gracefully transition into the season:
Mercato
This is a no-brainer. If you love Italian then look no further.
Mercato is the kind of place you’ll want to stay a while, so next time the forecast looks grim make sure to book in here for a long, leisurely dinner. To make this the most memorable experience possible, request seats at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen and definitely don’t even think about leaving without tasting the grappa.
Candela
Just a short walk from Mercato is the chic sister restaurant to Alloy called Candela. If tapas are on your mind, this is one of the best places to head with friends for a few courses of decadent bite size portions.
The stylish interior, impressive menu, and extensive cocktail list will quickly help you forget about summer bike rides and patios. Well, at least for a little while.
Divino
Located on Stephen Avenue, this swanky little wine bar is straight up sexy any night of the week. We’re talking mood lighting, more wine than a small European country, and a convenient location that makes it the perfect spot to pop into after seeing a concert at EPCOR or working late at the office.
If you’re looking to keep it intimate, grab a table for two along the sidewall and get ready to unwind.
