This place is great. The food is authentic and great quality. The people who work and run it are super sensitive to others, especially people with disabilities. They literally go out of there way to make us feel welcome not just there at their spot, but I the entire farmers market every time we show up. Please support this place. It’s worth the drive.

Having lunch at a Ukrainian restaurant in Calgary with my colleagues was a delightful experience. It was my first time ordering traditional Ukrainian cuisine, and I was amazed by the variety and flavors of the dishes. The stuffed cabbage rolls were generous in portion and the varenyky had a delightful chewy texture with innovative fillings. It was a great opportunity to immerse myself in Ukrainian culture and enjoy delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Visiting this restaurant was truly a wonderful choice.

5 stars all around. An amazing family run business, excellent service and delicious food. Best perogies in town. The village special with chicken schnitzel and latkes is my favorite and never disappoints!

I had the cabbage rolls, perogies and meatballs to go. I didn't really like the meatballs but that is my own personal preference. Everything else I really liked. The service was friendly and fast. Prices are a bit high but they do give you a lot of food.

Today I stopped at the Farmers Market with the sole intention of ordering food from the Margaritas’ fresh food menu… This was the 3rd time in the last month that I ordered something from their combo menu. So far, I have enjoyed the cabbage rolls, bratwurst, perogies w/bacon, stuffed bell pepper, and Hungarian meatballs… Each item has been made to perfection and I love the sour cream & sauerkraut that are included as optional condiments to combo dishes. My mom was also impressed with both the quality and the quantity of the portions. Certainly value for your money spent at this particular business… I will continue to revisit Margarita’s when I am in Calgary. Love this establishment Bottom Line: 9.4 out of 10

Got the village special here and it was delicious. Let alone...the workers here are super friendly and funny. There is enough flavouring in everything. I would recommend the specials..so you get to try a bit of everything. It averages out to be $15 for a full plate, which can seem a little high. They also have frozen perogies that you can purchase for home.
