Mix it Up in Calgary's Inglewood Shopping District

Just like fusion cuisine pairs ingredients from distinct cultures to create new dishes, Calgary’s Inglewood neighborhood blends very different restaurants, shops and art galleries into an experience with a unique flavour.

In Inglewood, trendy clothing and furniture stores like Adorn Accessory Boutique and Circa mix with Crown Army Surplus and Olivier’s Candies. Restaurants like the Inglewood Drive In and the Harley Diner are at home beside upscale dining establishments like Capo and Rouge.

Even the stores themselves blend functions. DaDe is part art gallery and part furniture store. Jacqueline Suzanne’s Bistro and Antiquities and Serendipity Café and Home Decor bill themselves as dining/decor combos where you can have a bite to eat and scope out house wares to buy.

Located just south of the Calgary Zoo and mere minutes east of downtown, Inglewood also has bookstores, music venues and tattoo parlours among many other businesses.

So next time you want to mix it up, head to Inglewood.
