Lemon & Ladle
Nestled in the heart of Marda Loop in Calgary, Lemon and Ladle is your neighbourhood destination for honest, nourishing meals that celebrate local flavours and community connection.
Founded by Calgary culinary educator, food non-profit founder, and podcast host Barb Sheldon, our mission is simple: to serve food that warms the body, sparks conversation, and uplifts the spirit.
Barb brings years of experience through her celebrated Food Stories Podcast, where she amplifies voices from across Canada—farmers, chefs, food justice advocates, and makers—illuminating the many ways food weaves communities together. Her food philosophy—Eat together, cook often, love your farmer, support local, use food for good, include everyone—guides every dish we create.
