Galaxy Diner: The Calgary Restaurant Featured in 'Is Love a Translation?'

Calgary, the gateway to the Canadian Rockies, is buzzing with excitement thanks to being featured as a filming location in the drama starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung. Galaxy Diner, where the two actors filmed a breakfast scene, has quickly become a must-visit spot for fans and travelers alike. Experience the laid-back morning atmosphere enjoyed by the stars in this diner, where the retro vibes of the 1940s meet the unique charm of Canada.


A Soul Food Spot for Calgary Locals

Even before the filming, Galaxy Diner was already known in Calgary as 'the place to go for the best breakfast.' Boasting over 60 years of history, this classic North American diner features vintage jukeboxes and red leather seats. Sitting here, just like the characters in the drama, you'll be transported back in time by its romantic atmosphere.

The diner's signature dishes, Buttermilk Pancakes and Montreal Smoked Meat Hash, are must-try delicacies. The unlimited coffee, which Kim Seon-ho reportedly enjoyed during his visit, has become even more popular and is worth considering to energize your Canadian adventure. Located on 11th Street, one of Calgary's hippest streets, it's perfectly situated for exploring nearby galleries and cafes after your meal.


Visiting in the Morning is a Great Option

As it's a popular spot, you might find long lines of locals on weekend mornings. But the turnover is quick, and even the waiting area is so stylish it feels like a photo zone, so the wait won't be boring. If you're planning a trip to Calgary with WAUG, consider renting a car and visiting early in the morning. After a hearty meal at Galaxy Diner, it's about a 1.5-hour drive to Banff National Park – a convenient choice for your itinerary.
