Came specifically looking for a brand of dried Mayacoba beans (Peruano if you prefer) for a dish I make for the family. Viola! Or, ole! There it was, even the brand I buy locally back home where these stores are literally everywhere. Had a nice long chat with a young guy at the checkout counter about all things Mayacoba and the street taco scene where I'm from. I see from another review they have Colombian coffee on the premises by the cup. Adding that to my list. I love finding a clean, well-run store like this when I'm travelling. Keeps me connected to all things good eating. Highly recommended.

First of all a huge shout out to the staff here, they are pleasant, so well informed about their…read moreproducts and the pride of working here really shows in their faces. This is one of the most beautiful produce stores I have ever seen in Calgary; polished cement walls, glass walls and urban industrial shelving, makes this place the biggity bomb. They have everything here, jarred jams, chillies, and pickles, they even have kitchen accessories and glassware. They have a great coffee paraphernalia area; plus a stainless steel kitchen with an island in the back where they perform cooking classes. I was mostly impressed with the frozen food section because here you could buy yourself wild game meat. There is buffalo and elk, a wonderful array of pre-prepared meals like lasagne and pizzas, and there is even tiramisu and different types of pies. I myself bought for Valentines a pre made pear, pine nut and gorgonzola cheese pizza and a fresh mini apple pie. I also came away with a natural home cleanser that is made in BC that is scented with 100% pure essential oil blends. It is naturally effective and is plant based and biodegradable, my home now officially smells like coconut and peppermint, which makes me want to clean all the time. Everything is super fresh , the packaging is ultra sleek and you are buying great quality food, CRMC, is associated with four restaurants in the city, one being the chic Cilantro restaurant that is right beside this seductive store.

CRMR at home is a total gem on 17th ave SW, Part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch Group which…read moreincludes a many resorts, the Ranch, Cilantro, Divino, and a wonderful free range buffalo ranch! I have visited the CRMR at home store a few times now and they are really nicely stocked with all my favourite gourmet foodie treats, with a heavy focus on in house made (or next door made as the case is with Cilantro) and locally produced goods. But I think by far the best thing they sell their is the meat! which is naturally grass raised bison and elk ranched just outside of Calgary. This past weekend we decided to make a quick little trip out to Candian Rocky Mountain Ranch (CRMR) and took a walk through the buffalo and elk yards. While we really don't eat much meat at all, the meat we do eat MUST meet very specific criteria before I consider exercising my vote as a consumer and make a purchase... It must be naturally + humanely raised, free of hormones and antibiotics, it must be local, and most importantly I really like to meet the farmers and just talk with them about their farming practice, and when possible I like to go and see their operation for myself, And that is exactly what we did on Saturday. Seeing the animals was really great for all of us. And helps reconnect you with your food cycle. It was a really refreshing visit, and a reminder to me (ever the pessimist) that some people are really raising animals in environments which are contusive to healthy living, for both the end consumer and the creature who is turning solar energy into food energy for us to enjoy + be nourished by. And the best part... it tastes great!

It's always a good sign when you walk in on a weeknight and the place is packed with tables full of delicious food. Massive steaks and by massive I mean no smaller than 20oz. Whoa, is right. We kicked off the meal with the Octopus which was ammmmazzzing. It's so tender and very thinly sliced, served with Brussel sprouts and thin red onion. All of this on one fork is pure magic. Really. I swear. For the main show we opted for the Tagliatelle in blissful pomodoro sauce and generously topped with cheese. I mean...what more can you ask for? This is where the heaven part kicks in. One bite and your gone. We ordered a large to share which is very reasonable for the portion vs. price at $27. And because we are almost always over zealous when it comes to pasta we ordered the pasta special of the night, which was Morel mushrooms, asparagus, parm Reggiano and cauliflower purée. Also very, very good. As I'm sure it's no surprise there wasn't much room for dessert but I'll probably find a way to work this heavenly place back into the dinner round before we leave town.

One of my favorite places to go for a special occasion. The location is accessible by transit by…read moretaking bus #3 sandstone. The surrounding communities and establishments feels safe and quiet. We came in for lunch for valentines day 2016 and my overall experience was superb. The waitress was attentive to needs, knowledgeable of the menu, fast service and always smile. The food was also superb, we ordered the valentines day special risotto with red wine reduction to give a nice pink rose like the color. The flavor was intensely good, soft and gooey texture. Next we ordered the pappardelle which was also amazing using lamb meat, sweet peas and wild buffalo cheese on top. Pasta sauce tasted fresh, not too sour and generous offers for the meat. I highly recommend both of them. For the finale, we ordered Bistecca and it was glorious. Soft, high quality meat and lots of fat, it is worth it. I would definitely come back for more.

For what we ordered I will say the positive was the great value you get in quantity. Service was…read morequick but I do wish they had more accessible menus rather than the screens that didn't show all their available options. Also everything we ordered included avocado slices however they were out, and I wish this was replaced with maybe a side salad or something else to compensate. The caldo left something to be desired, I do hope the sancocho available on weekends is better. The best bite was definitely the Colombian Beef Empanadas. The Aji (the salsa it comes with) is also really yummy. The picada is definitely enough for two people however flavorwise, without the Aji it also left me feeling like I could have just ordered tacos instead.

And after all that waiting, it was just ok. They claim "World Famous" status on their Butter Chicken, and I have to admit, the chicken and butter sauce were very good. The two problems were the starches - the dry flavoured rice underneath which only served to soak up my precious sauce, and the terrible naan bread, which more closely resembled undercooked bannock than naan, and it was cold and stiff. yuck. If there's any way to get the Butter Chicken on its own, then pick it up for dinner and go to one of the many Middle Eastern bakeries to pick up fresh, real naan to go with it!
