Wonderful vegetarian options, especially the seitan Unribs if there are any left! When it's warm, the outdoor Container Bar next door has a similar menu (same kitchen).

They served the most perfectly cooked steak I have ever had (coming from a true Albertan, should be taken seriously). Walkable....although a bit far....but maybe the walk is necessary to work of calories after this meal ;)

Walking the pathway along the river is always nice and relaxing. Walk on the north side to the Peace Bridge to cross the river. On the south side towards Eau Claire, you may see buskers. If you keep walking, you'll eventually get to the happening revitalized East Village.

Worth the trip up if you haven't done it. You can stand on glass...if not too scared of heights. The rotating restaurant is a fun experience. Don't leave your purse on the window sill and be prepared to struggle finding your table when you come out of the bathroom.
