A portion of the proceeds from every featured noodle dish sold goes directly to the Leftovers Foundation, helping them rescue food and feed people in need right here in Calgary. Eat good, do good!

The festival runs for 11 days, starting November 6th and ending November 16th.

You don't need tickets! The festival is a city-wide event. Simply visit any of the participating contestant restaurants between November 6–16, purchase their featured noodle dish, and enjoy!

You can find the full list of contestants on our website under the "Contestants" tab. Their addresses are also printed directly on the Noodle Passport.

After you try a featured dish, go to the "Rate Those Noods" page on our website. You can rate the dishes based on categories like Taste, Creativity, and Presentation. Your ratings determine the award winners!

No. You pay the restaurant directly for the featured noodle dish, just like any other item on their menu. The price of the dish is set by the restaurant.

This depends on the individual restaurant. Most contestants offer their featured dish for takeout, but delivery is handled through third-party apps (like SkipTheDishes or Uber Eats) and is subject to the restaurant’s policies and app availability. Call the restaurant ahead of time to confirm their takeout/delivery policy.

We highly recommend making a reservation for dinner and weekend peak hours, especially at smaller venues, as contestants will be very busy during the festival. Call the restaurant directly to book your table.
