sunterra market, keynote

i absolutely love sunterra's deli for a quick, filling meal or snack. the clerks are a little bit curt, but the food makes up for it. i usually get the chili tofu which is my favourite item, as well as either a salad or the roasted root vegetables. i find most of the deli items to be heavily dressed and try to avoid those as i prefer the fresh taste of the ingredients. the atmosphere is calming and i never feel rushed. the upstairs eating area is comfortable and bright.
overall, an amazingplacewith options for all types of dietary restrictions.

sunterra is a greatplaceto pick up something tasty and affordable and decently fast for lunch or dinner. i haven't tried their market bar so this review is about their 'fast' section. i've ordered their asiago burger many times and it is a great price for a real burger (with asiago cheese and bacon) and a choice of side dish for about $8.50.

sunterra offers a fresh market of delicious wholesome food, and the keynote location is no exception. the developers have a created an eatery here that highlights the design element of the dining experience, emphasizing the use of natural lighting and wooden furnishings. one of my go-to's for sunterra is the chicken pesto panini. each bite offers a crisp piece of toasted focaccia along with a generous amount of tender chicken, finished with a savoury pesto sauce that carries the balance of the overall sandwich. definitely a greatplaceto grab a quick bite to go, or spend the lunch hour with others!

who doesn’t like breakfast food, and some days you don’t want to make breakfast at home. diners & other popular breakfast places are usually really busy on a weekend. this is when marketbar by sunterra comes in. i was not aware that the sunterra keynote had this. my girlfriend suggested thisplace& it was like finding a hidden gem (maybe it was just us).  it has a big sitting area and very fancy inside. when you walk in you see the bar to your right & a dining room setting to the left. as you go further in, it gets brighter and more of a cafe setting (self seating on both sides).  they also have an outdoor patio, which we couldn’t experience as it was gloomy and windy. the service was quick & efficient. order, pay, receive a table number for your order which they will bring out to you.

absolutely loved the experience here at marketbar, & i can’t wait to go back to try more. hopefully next time we will be able to sit on the patio.

i went upstairs to the full service lounge- awesome service, decent food, tho the menu is kinda basic, unreal wine list. i didn't even know thisplaceexisted. prices are very inexpensive-especially for downtown calgary. 2 entrees, 2 glasses of wine and a pint for $40. seriously. i will be back!

i've eaten at this location once or twice a week for the past year and a half.

the salad bar is just so convenient that, damn the price, i keep coming back. i've been doing the keto diet for a long time, so it's an excellentplaceto get your fats and proteins as well as your allotted 20g of carbs in leafy green vegetables. i've also eaten their baguettes (which are really good), their squares, which are as good as mom makes them. they make a lemon coconut square that i really like and i feel like is very good value. their canoli is also very good; as is their meatballs in the deli department.

when you are in the checkout line you also get to watch hipsters pay a premium for buying groceries from their hella expensive grocery store. it's a lot of fun.

why i keep coming back to sunterra:

their salad bar is convenient (but expensive)
their dessert selection is really good (and more reasonably priced)
it's the onlyplacenear work where i could manage my macros

what a gem!. found thisplacedue to hubby"s work and have been hooked since. i am a foodie and love passion in food. thisplacehits it in spades both in the restaurant and in the marketplace below. it is above average, heathy and scratch made which is very rare in this city! market produce and meats and seafood are very above average especially in the long winter months when everything tastes flat. if you enjoy food and want to eat well - this is theplacefor you.

now that sunterra is just around the corner, there’s a closerplaceto pick up everyday goodies; and a hangout where you can eat and enjoy the food we all love. on the top floor, there is a self-serve cafeteria-style, but they have also included the two large tandoori/woks for the curries and asian/thai dishes.

hmm. i stopped in today to check out their produce selection as i've just moved close by. & it seems wonderful! nice veggie & fruit selection! although it's really annoying to see not ripened fruit sliced open with a for sale mark on them! :/ papaya's are not ripe when they are green people, c'mon. *shakes head* well not the one's they were selling.

anyhow, they have what looks to be a lovely sized raw food salad bar. a cozy modern "cafe like" seating area.

i thought that perhaps with the fermented kefir yoghurt, they might carry daiya cheese (vegan) products, but they do not.

i will be back, thisplaceis cozy, homey, & clean!

market is great for lunch. can't speak to the restaurant itself, even though the smells are lovely. i use thisplacefor healthy quick lunch carryout and it definitely fills that bill. salad bar is fresh and stocked, many sandwich choices, lots of fruit. quick in and out is what i need and the fact that there are nutrients in my food here... total bonus. :)

great food but takes navigating. love the concept the second floor is really comfortable and a great deck. the are also open early you can show up at 6:00 am get fed a very good quality breakfast for a reasonable price and on the road by 7:00 am but watch the parking - confusing the main floor is small but seems to have everything i want in it if i lived in a condo i would pay an extra $50,000 to have aplacelike this on the main floor makes living easy. lunch and dinner are again good quality and "the price is right" i find the big pan selections healthy and well received and you can get them on spinach not just rice. greatplacefor family and kids open kitchen concept with an emphasis on healthy that allows the kids to get what they want but still have something healthy. service is amazing - they have some sort of a no tip policy i do not understand but what i can tell you is everyone makes an effort to please. well worth visiting.
