Description:
AIRPORT - YYC. This stylish venue has attracted quite a following since its inception. Just off Stephen Avenue, Murietta's refurbished building boasts high ceilings, exposed brick, and hip furnishings. The open dining room has an exhibition kitchen, from which come such treats as Australian rack of lamb, roast chicken, osso bucco, bouillabaisse, fresh fish, and a variety of pastas. If you have room after these dishes, make sure to try something from the dessert menu. The Squirrel Nut Tart is fantastic if you love nuts; it combines hazelnuts, pecans, and pistachios and is topped with whiskey-laced cream. Delicious! Adjoining the dining room is a bar area that's incredibly popular in the evenings. It's great on its own or as a before- or after-dinner hangout. |

You'll find a regular selection of oysters from both coasts, scallops, Dungeness crab cakes, and a robust seafood medley that combines salmon, mussels, prawns, scallops, and lobster in a savory sauce.

The wine list is terrific, should you want to add a selection or two to your dinner, and desserts are scrumptious all the way around. The patio is a great place to enjoy food and drink when the weather is cooperative. |

Description:
AIRPORT - YYC. Deliciously creative food is the hallmark of this bistro, which is a latter-day incarnation of one of the city's best former catering companies. The cuisine is incredibly innovative, and diners often come to discover the newest combinations and entrees. Salads and appetizers benefit from what's seasonal, as do the main courses. Representative dishes include grilled pork, pheasant, roasted pumpkin soup, chanterelle-dusted beef tenderloin, squash seed-crusted ahi tuna, and grilled salmon. Each dish is laced with unusual flavors too, whether it be tropical fruit, fresh herbs, or a rich infusion of bacon. The desserts follow the same tack and add innovation to tradition. It's a formula for success all the way around. A wide selection of wines by the glass. |

Description:
AIRPORT - YYC. Western in theme, decor and food, this casual establishment offers up hearty, rustic fare that harks back to Calgary's early days. This is food for cowboys and those who perform physical labor (and anyone who likes meat, for that matter). You'll find steaks, burgers, rotisserie chicken and ribs at the top of the menu, along with southwestern-influenced dishes like quesadillas, fajitas, chili, pastas and the like. Desserts are just as substantial and require a bit of reserve space in your belly. A kid's menu takes care of those who are just developing an adult appetite, and the bar serves up the modern-day equivalent of white lightning and moonshine. Saddle up! |

The filet mignon, New York strip and chateaubriand are popular dishes, especially for those who choose to celebrate a romantic occasion at the restaurant. A patio jutting out over the water adds a nice touch on warm days, and the brunch on Sunday invites guests to linger over the delicious cuisine. |
