🍽️ Orchard Restaurant | Calgary's Mediterranean Oasis

📍 Downtown Calgary | 💰💰💰 (Mid-range pricing) This insta-famous spot delivers on ambiance though the food plays second fiddle - perfect for that aesthetic girls' lunch! 🌿 The Vibe • Sun-drenched atrium with lush greenery • White-washed walls + minimalist decor = photo gold • Dinner bookings essential (weekends book out fast) 🍴 What We Tried (Lunch Edition) 🦐 Tiger Prawns ($14) ✔️ Flavorful but portion petite - more amuse-bouche than starter 🐚 Fresh Mussels ($23) ✓ Decent but forgettable (3/5) ✓ White wine broth needed more punch 🍝 Rigatoni Bolognese ($23) ✓ Comforting 4/5 ✓ Al dente pasta, though sauce lacked depth 🍸 The Redeemer? Their craft cocktails (which we didn't try) get rave reviews - reason enough for a return visit! ⭐ Final Verdict Food: 7/10 Ambiance: 9.5/10 Best For: • Instagrammable brunches • Pre-theater dinners • When vibes > bold flavors #CalgaryEats #MediterraneanFood #YYCRestaurants
