I am always on the lookout for a restaurant where you can get a sandwich and salad that isn’t your standard BLT and green salad. I am also a brewed iced tea fan and that isn’t easy to find in Calgary. I found everything at a new restaurant called Velvet Café. It is located on Fourth Street and 25th Avenue in Red Cap corner. For long term Calgary residents it is across the street from the old Caruzzo’s Pizza. They roast their own turkey and brisket for sandwiches and have menu items such as Black Angus Beef Stew, Chicken and Leak Stew, Coconut Curry Chicken over Ginger and Lemon Grass Rice. They have a wide variety of soups including Mushroom Truffle, Spinach and Bacon and Carrot and Ginger. I am a fan of their Quinoa salads. They have a hot luncheon special each day as well. And they have a great selection of loose teas that can served iced. They are a deli as well so everything is available to take home. The young couple that run it are very friendly and passionate about serving good food. Drop in for a bite, and if you enjoy Velvet as much as I do, please drop me a line and let me know.
