With its simple menu of noodles, curries, and other dishes inspired by 10 Asian countries, Wok Box proffers healthy, fresh alternatives to traditional fast food for dine-in and takeout customers. Chopsticks dance their ancestral dance over stir-fry noodle boxes, in flavour and noodle combinations such as Singapore cashew and peanut sauce with hokkien noodles, caramelized teriyaki with udon noodles, and kung pao anise chili sauce with chow mein. Stir-fry rice boxes contain fusion meals packed with flavours of korean beef bulgogi and creamy thai red curry. In dinner packages, diners can take a tasting tour of Asia with main-meal complements that, unlike counterfeit yuan, are both exotic and guilt-free. Dip vegetable-stuffed spring rolls or classic egg rolls in plum sauce, or bite into a samosa shell that swaddles potatoes, peas, and carrots.

Today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of steak, seafood, and drinks at Oceana Seafood, Steakhouse & Bar.

Just a few steps from the riverbanks of the Bow and the greeny confines of Eau Claire Park, Oceana Seafood, Steakhouse & Bar hosts diners mooning over menus filled with net-fulls of fresh fish and steaks prepared with AAA Sterling Silver Alberta beef. Guests can begin by filling up on 1.25 pounds of hearty Alaskan king crab legs steamed to perfection and served with hot-drawn butter (market price). The marinated octopus appetizer ($14) runs the flavour gamut at an eight-legged pace, and the aroma of a 2-pound steamed Nova Scotia lobster ($65) can cause diners to stop short at the seventh bottle of beer on the wall. Patrons can also cast hungry eyes over a succulent selection of filet mignon (8 oz., $38) and new york strip (10 oz., $65), or enjoy the best of both worlds with a 10-ounce filet mignon chaperoned by garlic prawns ($46). Those with noodles on the brain can also choose to dive into one of five pasta plates such as the Atlantic salmon linguine in a herbed lobster bisque sauce ($26).

Among casually elegant confines, guests dine by wood-burning fireplaces at white table-clothed tables or in curved, high-backed booths under a glowing litany of warm lights. Oceana’s lounge conveniently allows patrons to relax with a fine beverage of choice while working out the final details of how to propose marriage to a favourite Elvis impersonator.

The baristas at Caffee Crema learn their craft from the masters at Fratello Coffee Roasters—a local, boutique roaster with established farmer relationships—before brewing steamy cups of java via four artisan methods or with the Slayer, an industrial, manual espresso machine. The menu stars French pressed cups and Americanos, double shots of espresso underneath a layer of milky cream, along with sausage rolls, biscotti, and other buttery pastries. Hario v60 pour-overs uses a finer grind and a cone-shaped filter for a taste smoother than a freshly shaven whale, and the retro-inspired Slayer machine lays a velvety foundation for lattes and mochas.

Caffe Crema’s expansive lounge area is stocked with plump leather seating and a healthy bookcase, fostering an atmosphere conducive to conversation and googling how to strike up a conversation. The aromatic halls are also the site of regular events that showcase local musicians and visual artists. Every Wednesday at 8 p.m., Caffe Crema holds a free brew method training and coffee tasting session.

Gustatory outings commence with a Caesar salad featuring verdant romaine lettuce gilded in house dressing and festooned with croutons intent on conquering Gaul. Once taste buds have been sufficiently appetized, tandem diners can share a pasta dish, nuzzling noses à la Lady and the Tramp over platefuls of fettuccine alfredo or munching through gnocchi alla Napoletana, featuring potato dumplings luxuriating in white-wine tomato sauce or white sauce. Large 14-inch pizzas with thin-crusted foundations—including an herbivorous Mediterrano pizza dappled with Hellenic goodies such as feta cheese, spinach, and roasted peppers—activate eaters’ second winds. Alternatively, a Tutto Mare pizza tickles the mouth caves of humans and hungry Poseidons alike with savoury bites of calamari, clams, and shrimp.

Julio’s Barrio

Sunnyside
1110 Memorial Dr. NW, Calgary, Alberta

A taco’s envelope-like shape holds a wide variety of ingredients, and allows diners to ship their meal to their next vacation destination. Taste transportable edibles with today’s Groupon to Julio’s Barrio. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get $45 worth of Mexican fare and drinks, valid Sunday–Thursday.
• For $20, you get $40 worth of Mexican fare and drinks, valid Friday or Saturday.

The chefs at Julio’s Barrio turn fresh ingredients into a menu of Mexican classics. An assemblage of four soft flour or hard corn tortillas lined with taco beef, ancho chicken, or veggies, the grande tacos sate bear-sized appetites faster than swallowing a bow-tied teddy bear ($17.50). The sole de limón takes taste buds on a flavourful detour from tortilla-based creations, tempting palates with flaky white fish encrusted in a lemon-pepper coating ($17). Alternatively, the vegetarian barrio chili coalesces zucchini, onions, celery, tomatoes, kidney beans, and chickpeas to create an herbivorous treat tempting to even the most carnivorous of man-eating super snakes ($11). Six signature salsas—from the traditional mild to the nuclear blending garlic, onion, and habanero—empower diners to customize their meals, and floor-to-ceilings windows funnel sunlight and moonlight into an interior of sunburned floors and tile-bordered orange walls.
