Kid-friendly restaurants in downtown Calgary

Need to eat dinner downtown with the kids in tow? Don’t fret. Even though most downtown restaurants do not have high chairs or change tables, most are open to having the under-five set join them for dinner. Here are a few options to try.

Pulcinella Americano

1147 Kensington Cres Nw, Calgary, AB T2N 1X7

Thin crust pizzas prepared in the wood-fired oven of an open kitchen make Pulcinella a great place to take kids. They’ll love watching their pizzas being made and crave them all the more once they arrive at the table.

Cibo Urbano Cucina

1012 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2T 0A5

Pasta plates and pizzas to share are perfect kid-friendly fare. Dining early during the week will also save you some money during the restaurant’s pizza happy hour from 3 pm to 5 pm, which features half-price pizzas.

Clive Burger

736 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2S 0B7

This burger bar’s 100 per cent Alberta beef burgers, fries and custard shakes will have your little ones jumping for joy. And you’ll like ’em, too! Hip and frequently hopping, service is not quite as speedy as your typical fast food chain, but the grub is a cut above.

Aida's Mediterranean Bistro

2208 4 St SW, Calgary, AB T2S 1W9

Aida’s wholesome Mediterranean food is the perfectly kid friendly. Pita bread and a variety of delicious dips such as humus and baba ghannouj will keep your children happy while you enjoy your own delectable shawarma platter.

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
You don’t have to travel to Paris to have a true fine-dining experience; you can enjoy an upscale dinner, complete with a five-course meal and fine wine, right here at home.

Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
