It’s THE place: This Calgary restaurant has become quite the celebrity hotspot

Our city has no shortage of incredible eateries, bars, and cafes but few have gotten as much celebrity attention as Model Milk on 17th Avenue in Calgary.

Serving a delightful selection of comfort food, classics, and innovative items – this inner-city restaurant has become quite the magnet for recognizable visitors – and rightfully so!

Here, hungry folk can indulge in everything from burgers, ribeye, and grits to insane desserts like their apple pie – plus their space is insanely unique with industrial details and an impressively stocked bar.

For this reason – and many more, it has been enjoyed recently by a laundry list of legends including Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, and Billy Boyd from The Lord Of The Rings (pictured at the resto above) – and Daisy Edgar Jones, who gushed about it on The Late Late Show With James Corden.

“It’s THE place,” she told Corden and co-guest Pedro Pascal when asked about filming her new show Under The Banner of Heaven in Alberta.

These, of course, are the only confirmed sightings we’ve caught recently – but we can imagine that the list goes on; and as Calgary continues to gain popularity in the entertainment world, we’re sure that it’s just a matter of time until there’s more.

Keep your eyes open, Calgary – looks like we’ve got ourselves a celebrity hotspot!
