The Allium

For our last dinner at Calgary we choose this restaurant because it has a lot of gluten-free options. It was a very pleasant surprise and I regret it that we didn’t discover it earlier. The food was delicious and well presented. We shared two main and two desserts. All the staff were very friendly and it was nice not to get everything served in a hurry but with enough time between the dishes. That gives the feeling to be an evening out.

Quite possibly the best food I’ve ever had. I came with my friend and we shared three plates: the black bean falafels, the fried mushrooms, and the squash gnocchi. The service was really good too and the vibes were amazing. This would be a really good date spot. My favourite was the fried mushrooms. It was reminiscent of calamari but actually so much better than any I’ve had before. Perfectly seasoned and complimented so well with the sauce and pickled vegetables. I’ll definitely be thinking about this meal for a long time coming. The drinks were also so unique and tasty. I’d definitely come back just to try out some of the other ones.

Delicious with vegan options. Keep in mind the portions are very small and yes it is on the pricier side but the dishes are high quality. You won’t leave full but you will be satisfied! I wish they were open longer/more days. Really nice ambiance inside

This place stands out because they serve you food as it's prepared and at its peak form. They deliberately don't try to time all your dishes all at once. If you want quality, this is actually ideal. They set the expectation upfront too. I'm a non-veg person too and loved this. Don't think of it as just a vegetarian restaurant - think of it as high end food that happens to have no meat. The deep fried artichoke heart isn't on the menu but it really should be - it bursts with flavour in your mouth. The chickpea fries are like soft wedge fries but prepared with absolutely bomb jalapeño sauce - it's not spicy though, it's just very vivid flavour. The sourdough flatbread platter comes with three different sauces and a whole bunch of other stuff - it's like an adventure on a plate. The pasta was quite good too - creamy, cheesy, packed with punchy flavour. Highly recommend.

One of the best vegetarian meals I've ever had. The pan fried lions mane mushroom was so delicious. All the food was plated beautifully and the drinks were good too. Lota of options for gluten free and vegan. Service was great and staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Found ourselves here for a late night after dinner snack & cocktails. If your looking for a restaurant with lots of delicious vegan & gluten-free options, give them a try! The staff and atmosphere was very welcoming, the cocktails were adequate.

This is quite possibly the best meal I've ever had, let alone the best vegan meal I've ever had! It can be kind of tough to find restaurants that cater to all of my and my partner's dietary restrictions, but this spot has so many incredible vegan and gluten free options. But if you aren't vegan or gluten free, don't let that deter you - the food was so suspiciously good that we questioned more than once whether or not we could actually eat it! We ordered the squash latkes and Forbidden Rice, and we couldn't stop talking about how delicious they were all night. On top of that, the staff members were lovely, and the decor/atmosphere made for the perfect date night setting. Do yourself a favour and check this place out!

Wow. This was an amazing spot to have spent my birthday dinner. We split about 4 dishes between two of us, and had one of the best cocktails I've had in my life. Each dish was flavourful and exciting. I will definitely be coming back. The Tiki Leeks mocktail is so good. It's a good mix of bitter, sweet, tangy, and savory.

This place is all vegetarian with some really unique dishes. The dishes are meant to be shared - sort of like a tapas style restaurant. That works favorably for me since you get try so many flavours. My favorite was the fried mushrooms with the tahini sauce. I'm not even a huge fan of mushrooms in general but these are so good! The tahini ranch sauce is excellent. The chickpea fries are also exceptional. The tomatoe sauce they use is a sweet and very complimentary with the chickpea fries. Very nice flavor and texture combination. The squash latkes were also memorable. The zucchini, artichoke and goat cheese with mint was a savoury and very palatable combination. Service was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff that explain every dish upon arrival. Great ambiance and nice decor. Vegetarian options: All vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: Almost every dish can be made vegan. Gluten free options. Peanut free.

Had the BEST time here for our group’s first visit. The food and drinks were amazing! We had a vegan and celiac in our group and we were so excited to have so many options to choose from! Annabel was a fantastic server and we appreciated the dish from the Chef. Will be back for sure
