calories restaurant

didn't meet expectations.... given the recent praise in planet s, and the overall good ratings about calories, i was not very impressed...

couple weeks ago i went tocaloriesfor the first time for dinner with my bf, we ordered the burger and lake trout. presentation was great, but taste wise was bland. i really hope they can add more flavour to everything. their dessert made up for the night.

last sunday, had my friend from toronto visiting me, so we went for the brunch. she had the maple syrup eggs and croissant, she said it was very sweet, it would be an indulgence to have the whole thing.. i had the frittata, the whole time wondering if they forgot the salt, texture was very good, fluffy and perfectly baked, but again totally lacking in the flavor department.

am i just ordering the wrong things?? any suggestions? i really don't want to give up on this place since it has such a good rep.

happily stunned. i was happily stunned by the amazing toffee cheesecake, which i might add is a perfect companion to the heavenly kashmir chai latte. nice ambiance, friendly staff, and admirable selection of foods and drinks.
i commendcaloriesrestaurant to you unreservedly!

i think this place has some of the best desserts in the city! the best cheesecakes anyway. the drinks atcaloriesare also very good! i have never recieved a drink that i didn't think was delicious. however, i have found the breakfasts to be only so-so. there are definitely better places to get breakfast in saskatoon.

i had the opportunity to return tocaloriesand was still impressed with the flavour of the food. they were participating in the fun de lentil tour and i enjoyed the cauliflower and lentils. cooked perfectly (not mushy). worth a try.

went tocaloriesfor a quick lunch. the salad special was good but not great (chickpeas, grilled veg, and feta), fries and aioli were very tasty and the crème brûlée was delicious. service was fine.

slow service, sour salad, sour visit.... i have been tocaloriesa number of times and i have eaten some very nice food there. indeed, it is one of a very few restaurants in saskatoon that i have been happy to recommend. unfortunately, one of the problems of having high expectations is a substantial sense of let-down when things are not so good. this was the case today, when two of us visitedcaloriesfor lunch. we were seated immediately, but our order was not taken for about 25 minutes. and the food did not come until we had been in the restaurant for about 45 minutes. this is much too slow for a lunch time service in a down-town environment. i ordered what was described on the menu as mexican corn salad with barley, black beans and arugula, with a cup of pumpkin soup as an accompaniment. i usually like corn and bean salads, but this one was not to my liking - an obdurate mass primarily consisting of barley, which was definitely over-seasoned; much too acidic and too salty; i ate enough to satisfy my hunger and abandoned the rest. the pumpkin soup was by contrast bland in the extreme, and was a most un-appetizing off-gray color. i could not stomach my soup at all, so i decided that there was no point in my eating it. my arugula had some decaying leaves mixed in, and moreover the bread served with my lunch was rock hard on one side and tasted quite stale. my salad came with sweet potato chips which were very nice, but alas there were only two of these. overall, just like my salad, this visit tocalorieswas distinctly on the sour side, and i regret that i feel unable to recommend them anymore.

we have been tocaloriestwice in the past 6 months and loved the food both times. good quality ingredients, attention to plating and great flavours. if "tourtière soup' is being served, do not leave without having it. fantastic.

yummy deserts!!. the best deserts in saskatoon- hands down. my favorite is the shmoo torte. the service can be hit and miss. i think they give better tables to diners who look like they are going to spend more. the meals can be hit or miss. i have never really been impressed with my dinners there. the brunches are really yummy! i would highly recommendcaloriesfor sunday brunch or dessert and coffee.

great place. we often head tocaloriesfor a late saturday night dessert stop. we have intended to go for a lunch or a supper but haven't made it yet so we can't speak of the menus other than to saycaloriesis one of our favorite places to go and have a sweet something with some coffee to round out our saturday nights. we definitely recommend it. the staff is friendly and sweet, the desserts are amazing, and the coffee is perfect. we will be returning again and again.

go here for an amazing dessert with your sweetheart. i don't recommendcaloriesfor a romantic supper. too bright and can be awkwardly quiet.

all time favorite. i lived in saskatoon for years and frequentedcalorieson a monthly basis. they have a delightful menu...the deserts are to die for! everytime i am back in town i make a point of eating here. i am never ever disappointerd!

always lovely. i am a frequent customer tocaloriesrestaurant. i usually go for lunch, but have also been there for wine and dessert and dinner. i have yet to be disappointed. my favorite things aboutcaloriesare the professional and friendly service, clean restaurant, local artwork decorating the walls, dessert, rosemary peach iced tea (you've gotta try it,) two different feature soups every day, and mussels! as a vegetarian i have noticed there is always at least one vegetariam soup on feature (usually a sandwich too.) the only thing i dislike aboutcaloriesis the homemade ketchup. some of you may like this, in my opinion you just can't beat heinz..

'real food' shines at calories. i've been wanting to write a review forcaloriesfor a long time and i'm finally doing it!

we live a few hours out of town and only get into the city once or twice a month. and i very much look forward to dining atcaloriesany chance we get! from perfect quiches, to hearty delicious from-scratch soups, to to-die-for desserts (my favourite is turtle squares!) and many more things, there has been nothing that i haven't enjoyed for the attention to detail in flavours, textures and presentation. even the kids plate with just one 'house-made' cookie or treat, is actually full of healthy-but-fun finger food that my kids think is so cool! i find myself going home inspired to research and try master something new... and even attempt to teach my kids what i've learned about classic french cooking!

but maybe what makes this place special to me is that i know just how committed they are to using the best local foods they can find. i know it costs more to buy food is raised 'small scale organic' ,'pasture-based' or 'wild caught' ...vs... the 'bigger-faster-fatter-cheaper' food that the sysco truck brings. it means many more accounts to manage, farms to visit, relationships to keep, not to mention the diverse kitchen skills needed to deal with whole animal butchery which is often the way local farmers need to sell meat.

and i guess i'll just say it...i am one of those "pasture-based" farmers. we've worked with quite a few local-food restaurants and things aren't always what they seem...lets just say...if the price seems to good to be true, it might be!

but remi and his team are the real deal...they take great pride in working with the best food they can get and doing all the preparation of it themselves, and have for almost 20 years, long before local food was "in". i hope it doesn't go unnoticed that their sauces and condiments take flavour to a whole new level not ever seen in the bulk commercial versions we are used to. from the time i've spent in the back of restaurant kitchens, i've seen how physically demanding, frantic-paced the work is, but when you add in the degree of "from-scratch" cooking that is always brewing in calories...well, my hat go off to you all as true artisans in your field!

thank you for every delicious real meal i've ever ate from your kitchen, calories...it was worth every bite!

ps they are the only chefs and staff that buy food for 'personal use' from us! i think that says a lot...

i used to look forward to calories' unique and creative menu options but am becoming increasingly disappointed with the vegetarian options available. having been a progressive restaurant with these options available - i am curious as to why a restaurant of this caliber is being suddenly being surpassed by mediocre and chain restaurants in this field?! when it comes to the newestcaloriesmenu i am shocked that the once creative team cannot do any better than offering potatoes and cheese or gnocchi (more potatoes) as their vegetarian options... i am sure it is not that difficult to find a way to work in a vegetable or complete protein.

fabulous. owner, chef remi and his team atcalorieshave it right. the deer chop served with roasted vegetables was outstanding. the service and attention was spot on. as a lone diner i felt welcomed. truly a saskatoon jewel. i look forward to my next visit tocaloriesand this time i am going to indulge in one of the pastry chef's creations.
