We went here for a birthday with a table of 7 and it was incredible. Service was amazing, the owner came over to make sure we had a lovely dinner. The food was amazing! We ordered a lot of the menu to share and there wasn’t anything that wasn’t delicious. Highly recommend coming here! Also the space is very pretty and does not feel like you’re in Calgary. Feels like you’re at a beautiful resort or restaurant in Spain. Will be back for sure!

Great ambience, great Mediterranean inspired food! Staff were friendly as well. The interior is really unique and definitely catches your attention. Went here on Canada Day when the weather was sunny which added to the atmosphere! Would definitely come back here!

Went as a family to celebrate Father’s Day…BEST choice! The ambiance is incredible! Elegant, fun, relaxing! I ordered the Porch burger with house salad..both delicious! Hubby ordered their Porch burger as well with a gluten-free bun and fries. Also, ordered their Calamari…cooked very differently and the taste is superb!!It’s our favourite place in 17th ave!

A restaurant with a pretty chill vibe and mostly good food as well. The overall look and feel was on point, between the decor, outdoor seating (benches, tables, swings, etc.), and natural light coming in. All of that made for a fun lunch trip. The service throughout was spot on as we were constantly tended to and even had the manager check on us multiple times throughout. The food itself was pretty good, though not that memorable. For starters, the Lemon & Pepper Chips were delicious and the dip that came with it was easily the highlight of the meal. The Fried Potatoes were fine, but still fairly similar to what you would expect from a dish with wedges. The Porch Wings were very fresh and good in general, but still had a little too much of a fishy taste (lingered on my fingers for a bit afterwards as well). The Grilled Beef Tenderloin sandwich was cooked perfectly, but the sandwich overall was a little on the dry side. The seasoned fries on the side were great though, so the overall dish wasn't terrible. It's definitely worth a trip on a nice day for outdoor dining, but probably moreso for the vibe than the food itself.

A cool place with both indoors and outdoors blending together. Came in for dinner, back in April, with a group of five of us - not overly busy - food was good but he atmosphere of the restaurant was the star of the show. Weather was not the best when I went so we did not enjoy the patio but will likely drop in sometime this summer to check it out again.

A super trendy, Mediterranean inspired restaurant with great food and cocktails. All our our meals were delicious and fresh, and the cocktails were good too. The interior is very well done and draws you in from the street. It was really big so this would be a great place to come with a larger party.

Great time at Porch!Beautiful ambiance, very sunny, tropical vibes.?Staff was very friendly including our waitress Lili!We've enjoyed the Happy Hour from 3 to 6pm and tried some appetizers and drinks.Nice selection of beers. Unfortunately the rosé wine on Happy Hour was not available.Would definitely visit again!

The food here was AMAZING! The flavours were divine and I could not get enough. Our table host was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. I’ll definitely recommend Porch and I’ll be back for seconds. Attached pictures ❤️❤️❤️

We always want to try this restaurant as they have swings and it was unique experience. The location is great, food is delicious and they have a lot of vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. There is also parking behind the building if you need to park your vehicle.There is a huge patio, which is usually open in summer and I am looking forward to visit in summer again.
