Peter's Drive-In
Two Burgers (+ Shake to Share)
A Calgary institution since 1962 — hand-formed burgers and legendary thick shakes that regulars call the best in the city. Burgers are $6–9 CAD, so two run about $12–15; add one shake to share (~$8) and two eat for around $20 CAD. Always a lineup, always worth it.

El Furniture Warehouse
Every Item Under $12 · $6.95 Happy Hour
Downtown Calgary's best value bar — the old everything-$5.95 gimmick is gone, but every item on the food menu still runs under $12 CAD, and during happy hour (3–5pm Tue–Sun) food drops to $6.95: Works burger, poutine, loaded fries, perogies. Two people eat a full meal for under $20 at happy hour. Casual, fun atmosphere on Stephen Ave, open to 2am.

Jerusalem Shawarma
Two Shawarma Wraps
One of Calgary's most-praised shawarma institutions, now 10 locations citywide — generous wraps stuffed with marinated chicken or beef, garlic sauce, pickled vegetables. Wraps have climbed to roughly $14–15 CAD, so two wraps land closer to $28–30 — split a wrap and a side to keep it near $20. Still Calgary's benchmark shawarma.

Pho + Banh Mi for Two
Arguably the best Vietnamese spot in Calgary — banh mi sandwiches all under $10 CAD with the Sate Chicken Sub as the top recommendation. Pho bowls are equally excellent. Two people eat exceptional Vietnamese for well under $20 CAD.

A one-of-a-kind Calgary spot for traditional Dutch pannenkoek — thin 12-inch pancakes with fillings baked into the batter. Savoury ones start around $11 CAD (sweet ~$15), so two run about $22–26 CAD. A memorable splurge you won't find anywhere else in North America. Closed Mon–Tue.

Aleppo Shawarma & Donair
$20 Feast Box — Skewers, Shawarma, Rice & More
