Waalflower offers a nice atmosphere, but doesn’t leave a lasting impression with its food

The Merguez comes topped with beef merguez sausage, harissa honey and grated halloumi. The flavour combination is sound, save a bit too much honey and seeing as halloumi is known for its inability to melt, it does seem strange to have to finely grate it onto a pizza, but I’ll happily bite into this if it will help me forget about that broccoli.

Then there’s the greens pizza, made with sunflower-seed pesto, crispy kale, arugula, spinach and fior di latte. Again, a traditional pizza by no means, but after eating this greens-heavy dish on two occasions, I can say it’s my favourite dish I’ve had here. It’s the most delicious, healthyish pizza you’ll find in Calgary.

After winding down at dinner here one night, we opted to try the homemade chocolate-chip cookies as well as the sticky-toffee pudding. To me, sticky-toffee pudding is synonymous with winter menus, but at this point, I just want not to overthink things and end the meal with something that just tastes good. Both are satisfactory, with the cookies having a slight edge, laden with gooey deposits of warm chocolate.

For all of its shortcomings with the menu, Waalflower is still a restaurant I’d enjoy a casual drink and bite at with a friend or two. I’ll likely just stick to sharing a pizza though.

Companies’ refusal to release gas data ‘tells the story’: HorganPremier says oil companies risk being accused of hiding something if they don’t release profit data to aid utility regulator’s review of high prices GlobeBC High prices result in a reduction of consumption. Isn’t that what he wants? GlobeBC I would suggest that if jjhorgan wants the companies to release gas data, government should open up the inquiry to include the role government policy and taxes has played in the price of gas at the pump. I’m no fan of gas companies, but that seems reasonable to me. GlobeBC What’s even more telling about Horgan is, he’s fighting Alberta in court to prevent them from shipping oil to BC and he’s also fighting Alberta in court to prevent them from stopping oil shipment to BC. NDP and the Liberals are equally deranged. 🤪
