I'm so happy I got to finally try the food here. It is absolutely amazing and completely vegetarian/vegan! With most of the menu gluten free or gluten friendly as well!
The staff/owners are so kind and attentive. Absolutely must try place for everyone! The meat won't be missed!
OEB Downtown Calgary Review
OEB Breakfast Co. in downtown Calgary is a fantastic spot for a morning meal. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a bubbly and energetic atmosphere, perfectly setting the tone for a positive dining experience.
The staff are truly a highlight. They are consistently attentive, ensuring your coffee cup never runs dry and checking in just the right amount without being intrusive. Their friendliness shines through, making you feel welcome and valued as a guest. They seem genuinely happy to be there, which adds to the overall positive vibe of the restaurant.
On the menu, the Vegetable Primavera Scramblette is a standout dish. It's a delightful and fresh take on a classic breakfast item. The scramblette is perfectly cooked, light and fluffy, and generously filled with a vibrant mix of mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, and spinach. The addition of feta cheese provides a lovely salty and creamy counterpoint to the fresh vegetables. It's a satisfying and flavorful option that doesn't leave you feeling heavy, making it a great choice for those looking for a lighter yet delicious start to their day. You can also opt for gluten-free potatoes or artisan greens instead of the standard potatoes with this dish.
While opinions on price can be subjective, considering the quality of the ingredients, the generous portion sizes, and the exceptional level of service, OEB Downtown Calgary offers great value for the experience. You are not just paying for a meal; you are investing in a delightful and memorable start to your day. The care and attention to detail in each dish, like the fresh vegetables in the Primavera Scramblette, justify the price point for a special breakfast or brunch outing.
Beyond the exceptional service and the delicious Vegetable Primavera Scramblette, OEB's downtown location offers a lively and welcoming ambiance. The decor is unique and charming, contributing to a memorable dining experience. While it can get busy, which sometimes leads to a wait, the overall experience makes it worthwhile. The commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients is evident in every dish.

It's a place where you can expect a delicious meal, excellent service, and feel that you've received good value for your money.
Such an awesome bar, restaurant, and place for live shows! The Pal offers the best in alt vibes and often has performances both up and downstairs. The patio is massive and you can't beat the eats! Celiac friends rejoice, most of the menu (including sides) is, or can be made, GF.
May 25. We enjoyed very nice cocktails here during happy hour 2 to 5. We also had lunch. Pizza was also included in the happy hour. They catered for gluten free as they had a separate fryer and also adapted the burger by serving it in lettuce instead of a bun.
I was at a conference at the hotel and needed a no-gluten lunch option. Turns out they had a full no-gluten kitchen setup including deep fryer. I got to have fries, first time in a long time. They prepared me a light and custom open faced sandwich lunch with fries. Very tasty and very appreciated.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for Gluten Free options, including desert!! Atmosphere was warm and cozy, service was efficient, friendly and helpful.
Service was perfect balance of helpful and giving you the space to enjoy your meal. Food was delicious! Very gluten-free friendly! Lots of options for meat and non-meat esters.
Jax was so attentive and considerate when I mentioned my celiac allergy. He provided me with details on the on the drinks I could consume. Del came up to as and confirmed that service was provided to us. We appreciate the level of customer service that Jaxon and Del gave to us. 10/10 would come here again!!!
The food was alright, but unfortunately my fiancée was glutened. I explained that she was celiac, and they knew enough to say not to use the toaster, so they recommended using the oven to toast the gf bread to avoid cross contact. Doesn’t seem like that was a good idea..
I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for anyone with Celiac disease.
Super tasty. Plenty of celiac safe gluten-free options! Pricey, but the food is very high quality. It is also a fun and entertaining experience. The pork belly is my favourite. Gotta leave it on the grill for a while to get it nice and crispy!
I love that this place doesn’t up charge for a gluten free bun, and also offers a lettuce wrap. I had the turkey burger which was delicious, added goat cheese. Kamila is always so lovely. I always hope that she’s our server whenever we stop by!
Our evening couldn’t have been better. Our server Carmen was professional, attentive and very personable.
Our group of 6 included 1 who is celiac. Carmen was very knowledgeable and accommodating regarding celiac restrictions and made the dining experience stress free. Our food was, without exception, delicious, interesting, and hot. (Special mention to the unforgettable wok-fired calamari).
We spent a very enjoyable evening at Saltlik and hope to be back for our next special occasion.
Love the food and the ambience here! First of all the ambience is super chill, they have tons of greenery all over the restaurant. Bathrooms are neat and tidy which is always nice to see. The service was wonderful, I forget my servers name but everybody was super helpful. I got myself the Pesto Chicken Penne Penne Asiago and they were super accomodating for my Gluten Allergy!
Went to this location with co-worker on Tuesday. Worst experience ever. Never been treated so badly.
First, the girl that was at the till has no customer service at all. Did not greet us, not friendly and no eye contact. when we ask questions, she seemed super annoyed with our questions. Missed half of the stuff we requested for.
Second, food quality was not good. Missed bacon on their famous Mr. chicken. Gluten free buns were stale and hard. Did not apologized for the mistakes at all.
Third, all the tables were dirty, the girl at the till asked us to clean the table ourselves.
Definitely not going to recommend this to anyone.
Burgers, ribs, and fries are delicious! Specially sweet potatoes fries 🤤 Also, you can have gluten-free buns for your burger 🫰🏼 and cocktails are amazing! My fav is The Patio Joe

What a place. After way too many hours on 3 planes, Melbourne to Calgary, this place was a god send. Cole and Sam and rest of the crew made us welcome, chatted and we had an amazing dinner and drinks. Canada we knew why we wanted to come ; Rooftop you just cemented that for us. Gluten free and food allergies catered for without fuss. Thank you ! The Bogan Aussies 🤣🤣❤️❤️.
The best coffee in Calgary. But this is not the best part, oh no, wait till you try their gluten-free muffins. Simply delicious. Beautiful, warm and welcoming atmosphere. They also made extra sure the kids' hot chocolate drinks wasn't too hot. Thank you!
The food was good. Staff was amazing. Nice Patio. Must try this restaurant in downtown. Very close to Bow River. Will definitely come back. Lots of Gluten free options
Went here for a dinner of 6 people. The waitress was amazing. I have a strict diet and I have to be Gluten free. I ordered a burger on GF bread and it was DELICIOUS 😋 It's hard to find good tasting GF bread, I would highly recommend James Joyce!
Unfortunately, the visibility was very cloudy due to the forest fires, but we still had a very nice evening. Kimberly was extremely friendly with a natural manner and even loaned us two shirts as it was quite cold - thank you! The food was excellent, especially the tenderloin with shrimp was awesome :-)
Gluten-free dishes were not marked on the menu, but we received competent information.
Came here to treat myself for birthday brunch. Everything on the breakfast menu is a must try - and frankly, I don't care how much gluten hates me...the brioche bun is worth bloating for. Get the bacon and avocado on your sandwich. You'll thank me later.
My experience here is always positive. I usually get the same thing...fresh salad rolls and coconut soup with tofu.
They always prepare everything vegan/gluten free.
I think if you're patient and explain your dietary restrictions carefully, everything works out very well. The service has always been great.
The vegan/ gluten free dishes that I always order are excellent.
Perfect for Birthdays and Anniversaries. The staff is very welcoming and provide an excellent level of service. Celiac friendly. The kitchen was able to accomodate my dietary needs, even providing gluten free bread before the meal.
Having been going for lunch from few months now. The service is really fast and they have lot veggie/Gluten Free options. Candied Cauliflower ( So Good ) and Tamarind Tofu is best! The quantity is really good for the value of money !
Highly recommend Tuk Tuk At Fifth Ave !!!

I ordered FraMe Cuisine for a Food security event at my workplace The Womens Centre Calgary. How impressed we were by the food is unspeakable, every item had so much flavour and clear soul put into it. Francine was quick to fill my last minute catering request, within my budget and the amount of food we got for what we spent was incredible. She is also such a warm and lovely person, it felt really valuable to be supporting her and a woman owned business that is African cuisine in Calgary. FraME also accommodates allergies and dietary restrictions very well. We were able to get vegetarian, vegan, meat and all gluten free options. The beans and rice seemed to be the top favorite of those attending our event, but we loved the chicken and veg as well. Looking forward to supporting again soon.
Held my daughter graduation event for the family at One18. Angelyn and her team were amazing, even making some last minute accommodations to fit the layout that our daughter wanted, we had the back section and it was modified to allow for mingling.
We had a number of individuals who were Celiac and the food preparation was amazing, they even made some sliders that were gluten free including the buns!
Food and drinks were amazing, if you’re planning on hosting an event, consider One18. We will be back again.
This cafe is wonderful! Food is shockingly tasty! Def recommend the Italian panini, smashburger and choc ganache cake (never know it is gluten free due to an awesome pastry chef.) Gorgeous decor, very high end unique vibe.
And Sam delivers the most kind and thoughtful service. Well done, Sam!
Best pizza ever! My husband and son got the All Meat regular crust and i seriously got the best homemade gluten free crust pizza I’ve ever had! We also got a couple of par baked pizzas (cooked just a bit to freeze for later). Anyone that has to eat gluten free knows that sizes are typically limited and the crust is usually soggy and cardboard like. Not these guys, theirs is thick, crisp and made from scratch. Delicious! We’ll be back for sure!
Stopped by while enjoying a mild day walking by the river. Welcomed by Jess Lee, whose service thereafter and all through was attentive, friendly and hospitable.
Their French Press coffee was stronger than expected, nothing like a spot of milk to temper it some. Their English Breakfast tea was served in just the right pot size, with the perfect teacup and saucer, and with milk and sugar on the side (all without asking).
Their Steak BLT Sandwich was pretty good and paired with the soup-of-the-day (broccoli). Their Chickpea & Avocado Sandwich was okay and paired with the fries (which were crisp, thin, and just the right bite size). We would love to see them introduce a couple more gluten-free vegan options; perhaps even make them their specialty.
We will be back for another meal. If one has not given them a try as yet - one should.
Fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great live music!
We booked a table for 2 for dinner after visiting the stampede grounds. We saw the restaurant as we passed by on our way to the grounds and it looked like a fun place to grab a bite to eat.
I’m so glad we decided to give it a try. The band was awesome and the service was great. We ordered 2 drinks and a meal to share. We tried their new “Stampede Bowl” - you pick 2 bases, 1 protein, slaw, pickles, and cornbread. My friend has a gluten allergy and we were surprised at how many items on the menu she could have (fyi: not 100% celiac friendly- shared fryers). We shared the garlic shrimp bowl with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies, and we’re pleasantly surprised at the presentation and flavours. Super impressed! Everything on the plate was absolutely delicious. It was light but filling enough, and the perfect way to end our busy stampede day.
Only small complaint is that the prices are a tad high, but it was worth it for a fun night out. And we completely understand that during times like this, food supplies are pricey as well.
Overall, we loved our dinner at the King Eddy. We’ll definitely return knowing how amazing the food and atmosphere were.
Had such a great time here! The staff are all so sweet and super knowledgeable. Very accommodating for celiac had no problems modifying everything we wanted to try! Had the beef tataki, agadashi tofu - lots of places won't do this gluten free so what a treat. Sashimi was all very fresh and tender. Hamachi jalapeño roll was also a favorite. Finished out with the traditional mochi and the red bean was perfect. Great sake list! Thanks so much to Judith and the team will be back very soon!
We decided to try their Sunday brunch buffet for a special occasion event and they did not disappoint!
As they're part of the Hyatt Hotel they had beautiful Christmas decor which made the place look really nice.
We received friendly service through the entire meal, although they forgot our drinks orders a few times and couldn't be found for a long time at one point.
Their selection of food was excellent, with clear labels in front stating allergens or lack of. I actually found many items were gluten and dairy free, which is great for those with intolerances. They also constantly replaced empty plates/trays so there was always freshly prepped food out.
They had the usual breakfast items like scrambled eggs, omelettes made to order, sausages etc, and they also have eggs benedict's made to order, followed by a carvery station featuring med rare striploin roast, seafood like jumbo shrimp and Atlantic smoked salmon, then the charcuterie board with lots of pickled items, cured meats and cheeses. The highlight dishes for me were definitely the plump jumbo shrimp and the tender smoked salmon- the salmon tasted like it was made in house, it was far better than any store bought one I've ever had!
For hot foods they had corn chowder which was delicious and creamy, variety of vegetable dishes, fish and more.
Their desserts selection was smaller but still a good variety. I loved their mini tres leches pots.
The price was $45/pp which is on the higher side for a lunch/brunch buffet but the quality and variety of food was excellent so it was worth it for us! I can't wait to go back for another celebratory meal!
2024: The burger here is delicious - hefty, juicy, and not well-done. Fries are generous and also thick and crispy! Was in and out of here during lunch hour in under 45 min. so it's doable for a work lunch if you don't have a large party!
2023: Hosted an office holiday party for 50 people here in December. The events coordinator was patient and very responsive to our changing attendance numbers, dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy, shellfish), and budget. The staff on the evening of the event were excellent - always refreshing drinks and offering canapes while keeping the venue spotless. We had a mix of hot and cold appetizers with larger shareable plates. The mushroom risotto served on a cheese wheel and the oysters were the winners of the night but everything was delicious. The venue fit everyone comfortably, and we had the place to ourselves. Light background music kept it lively but wasn't too loud - hard to find if you're sharing a space with other parties.
Im gluten free and lactose free and was impressed with how well the staff new the menu and what was safe to eat and also made sure their team was extra careful when preparing my order. Tasted great as well. Thanks so much
On Valentine's Day, the staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate our party of six, seating us comfortably in their spacious dining room. The culinary experience was delightful, with each dish being a testament to the kitchen's skill. Notably, they impressively catered to the dietary needs of our vegetarian and gluten-free companion by preparing a special off-menu item. The staff's helpfulness and the restaurant's charming atmosphere combined to create a memorable dining experience.
