Pegasus Greek Restaurant
Calgary, Canada
The read// why locals go
Pegasus has been cooking Greek food in Calgary since 1983 — four decades, one family, and a belly dancer on Friday evenings. It started at 14th Street and 11th Avenue SW and now sits on 16th Street SW, still independently run, still making dishes from scratch to recipes that have not needed updating. Ingredients come in from Kalamata Greek Grocers down the road, which is the kind of detail that separates a Greek restaurant from a restaurant that serves Greek food. The room is warm and frankly a little theatrical; Friday nights bring belly dancing at half past seven. Mains run to around twenty-five dollars. Forty years in, it remains a full-service family restaurant rather than an institution trading on its own history.
