A New Restaurant....For Me!

I found an amazing vegetarian restaurant here in Calgary! Located in trendy Kensington, this cafe had the most wonderful atmosphere and food! The next time you are looking for something different to eat, check out Gratitude Cafe!

Gratitude Cafe was such a unique restaurant! Our table had decks of playing cards that invited us to play games while we waited for our food. And the cafe lives up to its name: all of the dishes you can order have wonderful names like "I am grateful"- which is a lettuce wrap stuffed with quinoa salad, guacamole and black hummus. I stared at the menu for a long time trying to decide which meal I was going to order- I would have loved to try them all! I settled on the "I am amazed"- a hearty vegetarian lasagna. I haven't had lasagna in a long time, and it was delicious!

A lot of the meals can be made vegan and gluten-free, so there are options for those with food allergies or preferences.

My man ordered the "I am appealing"- which was a calzone stuffed with vegetarian chili. He got to choose from an array of veggies to stuff into it. I can't believe he was able to get through the entire meal. He is such a good sport coming with me to vegetarian restaurants. He absolutely loved the food. We love supporting the small local cafe's and restaurants; the food is always so fresh and filling!

If I would have had more room I would have tried the dessert. So the next time you are going out for lunch or dinner, try something different and swing by Kensington for a fun vegetarian experience. And let me know how the dessert is!
