Reviews for The Allium in Calgary, AB
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 andtwo desserts. All the staff were very friendly and it was nice not to get everything served in a hurry but with enough timebetween the dishes. That gives the feeling to be an evening out. Read more
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 datespot. My favourite was the fried mushrooms. It was reminiscent of calamari but actually so much better than any I?ve hadbefore. Perfectly seasoned and complimented so well with the sauce and pickled vegetables. I?ll definitely be thinking aboutthis meal for a long time coming. The drinks were also so unique and tasty. I?d definitely come back just to try out some ofthe other ones. Read more
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 glutenfree options. But if you aren't vegan or gluten free, don't let that deter you - the food was so (suspiciously) good that wequestioned more than once whether or not we could actually eat it! We ordered the squash latkes and Forbidden Rice, and wecouldn't stop talking about how delicious they were all night. On top of that, the staff members were lovely, and thedecor/atmosphere made for the perfect date night setting. Do yourself a favour and check this place out! Read more

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 Leeksmocktail is so good. It's a good mix of bitter, sweet, tangy, and savory. Read more
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 Read more
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-vegperson too and loved this. Don't think of it as just a vegetarian restaurant - think of it as high end food that happens to haveno meat. The deep fried artichoke heart isn't on the menu but it really should be - it bursts with flavour in your mouth. Thechickpea fries are like soft wedge fries but prepared with absolutely bomb jalapeño sauce - it's not spicy though, it's justvery vivid flavour. The sourdough flatbread platter comes with three different sauces and a whole bunch of other stuff - it'slike an adventure on a plate. The pasta was quite good too - creamy, cheesy, packed with punchy flavour. Highly recommend. Read more
