Best Fine Dining in Alberta

"Hotel Arts’ whimsically decorated in-house restaurant, Yellow Door Bistro offers one of the city’s best breakfasts and number of refined dinner options, like a lavender honey glazed duck breast and delicate Haida Gwai halibut, as well as seasonal chef’s tasting menus. Don’t skip dessert — the hotel is home to one of the most creative pastry chefs in the city. Where: 119 12 Ave SW"

"Whether you’re an eight-year-old or just a kid at heart, it’s hard to resist a stack of warm chocolate chip pancakes or some banana bread French toast at this Inglewood brunch hot spot. (1420 9 Ave. S.E., 403-234-8885, finedinercalgary.com, @FineDinerYYC)"

"Offering a four-course prix fixe menu that changes every week. Available for takeout and delivery, orders can be placed over the phone or online."

"Open Range is a relaxed Southwest-style steak and chophouse serving Alberta-raised beef, lamb, and game. Dive into incredible eats such as the Bison Enchilada (with smoked sundried tomato, white cheddar, and salsa verde), Elk Ribeye (with roasted poblano, sweet corn cotija twice baked potato, and red pepper jelly), or Beef Tenderloin (served on a pearl onion wild mushroom ragu with black truffle gravy). They also have an extensive wine list."

"The lamb and lobster is a delicious match with avocado and salsa. Lighter entree of seafood pot of feu soup in fish broth with melt in your mouth, fresh array of seafood is soooo good. Most satisfied with the homemade trio ice cream - especially the black cherry and cinnamon - not too sweet and not too creamy."

"At this is a 4-star resort you can count on world class facilities at Grey Eagle & Resort Casino and this isn’t only limited to the casino. This gambling establishment is also equipped with full service meeting rooms and a business center so there’s more going on at this place than just gambling and fun. With its more than 84,000 square feet, the casino floor is huge."

"We had the best meal I ever had at a casino buffet and we eat at a few of them especially in the USA. I would super recommend your establishment to all my friends and followers on Facebook. All I can say is koodos to you all and hope all great future endeavours to your establishment."

"Hy’s offers several different levels of steak, including 60-day dry-aged beef and Canadian Black Angus. The menu is filled out with a selection of seafood, traditional steakhouse sides, surprisingly good vegetarian options, and Hy’s famed (and legitimately irresistible) cheese toast. Where:8th Avenue & 3rd Street SW"

"The menu features both classic and newly imagined recipes, but Hy’s favorites, like the famous Caesar salad and Steak Diane, are still prepared table-side."

"You can’t go to one of the most Canadian cities in the country and not try the poutine. Fries, gravy, cheese curds. We needn’t say more but The Big Cheese in Calgary does anyways."

"At Chinese Cultural Centre Cuisine, they have an expansive menu, and just by reading through you might already start salivating at all the delicious dishes to choose from. They make sure they use fresh ingredients in making theirs dishes. Their number one priority is their customers, which is why they are dedicated to giving high-quality services."

"The Loch Gallery carries historic artwork and work by established artists. This is THE place to go in Calgary if you are a serious collector and looking for something from a well known artist like Marc Chagall, Degas, or even Van Gogh. They also carry the “big names” of Canadian art history like Paul Kane, Tom Thompson, and Group of Seven artists like Lawren Harris."

"Artpoint Gallery & Studios Society is a non-profit artist-run studio that has been a home of visual arts & education, Heritage Weavers, and Spinners Guild of Calgary. They are currently not open for visits during the pandemic except for memberships and exhibition submissions, so kindly wait for further announcements about that."

"The large natural environment park runs for 164 hectares along the northern bank of the Bow River. Here you can bring your four-legged friend along and explore the mature riverine forest and grasslands on the hiking trails. Picnic at picturesque spots close to the waterfall where a scenic outlook provide panoramic views of the Bow River Valley."

"The boardwalk leads to Waterfall Valley, which is quite small, but a lot of fun for the kids. The water glistens in the sunlight as it trickles down the very unique rock face and looks very pretty. And since I love sharing fun facts; as per the City of Calgary website, it is “an unusual, spongy-looking, geological formation called tufa”."

"Bowmont Park has some of the nicest and relaxing pathways along the river. Spend your lazy summer days tubing down slow offshoots of the river or go for a long bike ride from here and end up anywhere in the city using the pathway systems. Learn more about Bowmont Park"

"Prairie Winds, one of Calgary’s largest recreational parks, is a beautiful place with lots of trees and green space and definitely the place to go with children. The most popular attraction is the recently renovated outdoor water area. It has been completely redesigned with a grassland theme, with water features that are shaped like flowers and insects."

"The newly upgraded spray park is complete with a Discovery Stream, Grassland Collection, Ground Sprays, and Sprout Eco-Activator. Your kids will love running through the showering poppies and playing in the nature themed spray park. The new design is the first of its kind in North America!"

"Prairie Winds Park is a vital part of Calgary's NE communities. With year-round activities, you are sure to enjoy getting outside with friends and family when you visit Prairie Winds Park. Learn more about Prairie Winds Park"
