Description:
A gracious, architecturally beautiful dining room looks out onto a stone-paved terrace and then across the river valley. It's a lovely space for dinner, or any meal for that matter. Conscientious servers attend each table, anticipating questions, providing ready answers. All of this goes hand-in-hand with the delectable cuisine, based on the best ingredients and culinary techniques. Among the options you'll find are Bow River trout, Alberta beef, Atlantic salmon, Saskatchewan venison, Arctic char, and maybe, pheasant. Each is perfectly complemented by an appropriate sauce and vegetables in keeping with the style of preparation. Desserts, of course, are absolutely sinful. Wines include Californian, French and Italian vintages. |

Description:
The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald's Sunday brunch is quite the ritzy affair. It's then that the Empire Ballroom, formerly the hotel's main dining room, is set for a sumptuous midday buffet. If your notion of brunch is something akin to a jazzed up breakfast, you'll be immediately drawn to the crepe and omelette stations, and tables laden with breads, sweet pastries and fresh fruits. If you prefer a more savory approach, try the stir fry station, or sample the ever-changing array of lunch options such as Cajun rockfish with ratatouille or pasta primavera gratin. Of course, grazing is also an option: try a bit of this and a little of that, but be sure to visit the dessert table at least once. And while you're catching your second wind, take note of the beautifully painted ceiling, 24 feet above. Seatings on the hour; reservations are essential. |

Description:
This well-respected restaurant has garnered much praise in its five years. Renowned throughout Alberta (and beyond), it seems to do everything right, from decor to cuisine to wine. Housed in what was once a hardware store, the restaurant traded in hammer and nail for spatula and corkscrew, to terrific effect. The menu specializes in "prairie regional cuisine," meaning that it takes advantage of local ingredients and heritage. Starters include Quebec foie gras, bison carpaccio, and forest mushroom risotto. Main courses include such delights as cedar-planked salmon, bacon-wrapped venison, and grilled lamb loin. All entrees come with savory sauces and mouthwatering sides. Desserts are fabulous too, and the wine list combines vintages from all over the world. Highly recommended. |
