Calories

Since it first opened as a small café back in 1986, Calories has always been about real ingredients and flavours, combined with sustainability and community. Here, each meal creates an indelible experience — a conversation between the guest, the season, the land, and the particular moment in time, where local and seasonal ingredients take centre stage.

Located in the historic “Smith Block”, the 1912 heritage building offers a window into Saskatoon’s turn-of-the-century economic boom. Come for a brunch spread or a sumptuous evening meal from Chef Taszia’s kitchen — you won’t be disappointed. Favourite dishes include the Local Bison Burger, Gourmet Grilled Cheese, and Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake.

Taszia & Karan Thakur

Taszia & Karan Thakur’s Calories has been a staple of the Broadway neighbourhood since first opening its doors in 1986. The pair, who met while managing at Elk Ridge Resort, fell in love with the lifestyle and culture of the prairies and decided that having their own restaurant in Saskatchewan was a given. Calories’ nearly four decades of success rests on an unwavering dedication to their craft, using real ingredients and flavours to create simple, local, and delicious meals. With every meal they serve, the pair strive to create an experience — a conversation between the diner and the season, their surroundings, and this particular moment in time.
