Barley Mill
Last Saturday was a beautiful day in Calgary so after a long walk in downtown Calgary we where ready for some food.
The Barley Mill in next to the Eau Claire market was the perfect spot. They have a nice terrace outside so that you can enjoy the weather and the view.
As you may have guest is the Location of the Barley Mill perfect the building is also not of those typical restaurants. Barley Mill seems to be an “old” building and that gives it a curtain extra.
I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with fries and my wife ordered the Salmon Burger with a fruit salad. It took a while before the food came but it looked very nice. But then it started. The fruit Salad was OLD and therefore didn’t taste right. After a quick complained about it the fruit salad was quickly replaced with a normal salad.
The rest of the food tasted good BUT didn’t treat us right either. Till now (Monday morning) i still suffer from stomach pains and the diarrhea is just done 
My wife had a bit more luck but also her food didn’t go down well.
After visiting the toilet and seeing that they sell Tums in the condom machine there i should have got the hint.
So my advise is if you want a nice terrace to sit on go to the Barley Mill but stay away from the food!!!

I so disagree with your comments about the Barley Mill, I think both sides should be heard, I have been eating at The Barley Mill for years and so have about 30 co-workers from my office and the food is very good to excellent. Your comments come about a week after they launched a new menu and I feel you should give them another try, all restuarants espicallly in Calgary’s labour deprived market have bad days, the Barley Mill is a very consistently excellent operation.
