Yes, Calgary Library (Main Branch) is a relatively new building in the Calgary downtown core. Just a block up was the old Main Branch, which was lovely in and of itself, but not nearly as architecturally impressive. I would honestly have gone with a traditional poutine before trying a more specialty/fusion take, but I'm glad you enjoyed the Mexican take. Decent attempt at saying "Nanaimo" bar (I've heard worse attempts!). And you're right: that was not a traditional Nanaimo bar, which is like diabetes in a couple bites. Thanks for your very positive "review" of Calgary and for showcasing some of the more iconic spots Calgarians know well. Safe travels and happy dining!
Thank you so much for your comment! We did actually have traditional poutine the night that we flew in but didn’t capture that on camera unfortunately. We enjoyed both versions though, and absolutely loved Calgary. We can definitely see ourselves visiting again someday. 😁
Nah, sorry--you have not yet had a Nanaimo Bar (pronounced nah NI mo), though I imagine the cookie version was tasty. The real Nanaimo Bar (named after the coastal city, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada where it originated) is so sweet it will make your toes curl or teeth ache (depending on if you end up loving it, or not so much). Your lovely videography captures your surroundings very well; I really enjoyed this video and am going to have to check out some of your others!
