Die besten mediterrane Restaurants in Downtown

Porch is one of my favourite restaurants on 17th. It has a great atmosphere and their service has the perfect touch.

The food was delightful and prepared exceedingly well. Our server was attentive and friendly but gave us our space. A wonderful experience, and we will be back.

Delicious experience at Kama! Three of us shared the octopus, latkes, halloumi, mussels, shrimps, potato gems, duck pappardelle and gnocchi. Was definitely a LOT of food but we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Amazing food, great service, and really cool vibe inside. Highly recommend Kama - will definitely be coming back!

When we saw the photos online, the ambiance looked beautiful, so we decided to come. I can truly say this has been one of my best evenings in Calgary since I moved to Canada. The atmosphere was incredible, and the service was outstanding. Our server went above and beyond, helping us choose the best options on the menu, explaining each dish in detail, and carefully checking about any allergies to ensure we had a safe experience. He even wished us a happy birthday, making it extra special since we were both celebrating. His kindness and attentiveness made it truly unforgettable—one of the best days of my life!

Last Sunday, my friend and I finally tried Teatro, a restaurant I’ve walked and driven past for years. Neither of us had been before, but we love good food, and my friend, who’s training to be a sommelier, was especially excited about their extensive wine list. It seemed like the perfect spot to explore together. From the moment I arrived, the experience was exceptional. The staff was incredibly friendly—they took my coat and led me to our table. One standout detail? They noticed I had a purse and brought over a tiny purse table. Genius! Every restaurant should have these. Since it was Sunday, we took advantage of their special no-corkage fee and brought our own bottle of wine, which made the night even more enjoyable. We decided to order a variety of dishes to share. To start, we had the Seared Scallops and the Zucchini Salad. The scallops were perfectly cooked, served with avocado mousse, pomelo, and a touch of ginger chili. The combination of pomelo and fennel added a bright, refreshing contrast. The zucchini salad was another standout—zucchini ribbons on a ricotta base, with toasted pine nuts and charred lemon vinaigrette. The mandarin orange segments gave it a zesty twist. Next, we shared the Feature Pasta, a cacio e pepe topped with fresh black truffle. It was absolutely divine—rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked. For our main, we went with the Dry-Aged Ribeye. The steak was tender and flavorful, served on creamy polenta with sherry mushrooms and bordelaise. Each element was delicious on its own, but together, it was the perfect bite. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Pot de Crème, a rich and flavorful dish with spiced nut brittle, rosemary meringue, and passionfruit sorbet. My friend chose the Feature Dessert, a poached pear panna cotta, which they loved for its light and silky texture. Overall, Teatro was an incredible experience—amazing food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming ambiance. Highly recommend! We will be back.
