Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a desirable community just North of Downtown across from the Bow River and Prince’s Island Park. Connections into the downtown core by walking or biking through the Peace Bridge, or the Bow River Pathway. Driving into downtown, you can access the core via 10th Street Bridge, or Centre Street Bridge – Lower Deck (can walk through as well). Accessing downtown via C-Train/LRT, the Sunnyside Station on the West end of the community. 

Kensington is a few blocks away and is one of the trendiest streets in Calgary.

Our favourite cafe is actually located in the residential area of Sunnyside and not in Kensington. Vendome Cafe is located on a quiet street off 2nd Avenue. A quick walk from the Sunnyside LRT,  Vendome is owned by the Teatro Group, which is a family run chain of top restaurants in Calgary. http://www.vendomecafe.com/. Vendome offers amazing European inspired food, and decadent desserts. And live entertainment every Thursday night. Did I mention they were licensed to serve Beer and Wine and other delicious alcoholic beverages?
