Description:
Befitting a cowboy-oriented restaurant, the rustic decor features wooden furniture, a wealth of Western artifacts, and woven blankets hung across the windows to subdue the light. The menu features dishes that cowboys would've known, along with updated fare that's more in keeping with contemporary tastes. Steaks are prominent, and their specialty, the sirloin, comes in three sizes. You'll also find filet mignon, T-bones, and burgers of beef, buffalo, chicken and fish. Additional items include meatloaf, salmon, pasta and ribs. Signature dishes include the hearty "Son of a Bitch" stew and the homey saskatoonberry pie. If you're really adventurous, you might want to sample the buffalo tongue appetizer or even the prairie oysters (calves' testicles). Enjoy! |

Description:
Set within the Calgary Tower, this restaurant is as much attraction as it is dining room. The place boasts a panoramic view of the city and its environs, especially since the entire restaurant completes a rotation every hour. It's busy throughout the day, although perhaps less so at breakfast. To tempt your appetite, the restaurant features such dishes as eggs benedict, pancakes, French toast made with croissants, and smoked salmon on a bagel. Omelets are also available. You may want to call ahead to confirm a space, but don't worry about not being able to see the view. Each table has a panoramic vista. |

Appetizers and desserts follow suit, and although dishes are elaborate, the quality of cuisine is outstanding. Allow for a leisurely evening. |

Tucker's |

(Restaurants - Canadian) |

|

Description:
A downtown location makes this familiar steakhouse an ideal destination for lunch or dinner. Steaks bring the crowds in, as does the prime rib, which is beautifully roasted to be succulent and fork-tender. Ribs and chicken make wonderful entrees too, and you can't go wrong with their seafood dishes. If you don't care for meat at all, the salad bar is your best bet. It has around 60 items, and the staff makes sure that everything is crisp and fresh. It's so good that it's even received numerous awards. At lunchtime, Tucker's can be crowded, but they offer quick options to speed up the wait. A lounge with games, a children's menu, and a Sunday brunch buffet ($22) increase the appeal of this local favorite. |

Nellie's Breaks the Fast Cafe |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |

|
|
Distance:
~0.520 km * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Breakfast is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, an assertion that Nellie's heartily upholds. The cafe serves breakfast all day, allowing patrons to enjoy a variety of classic dishes whenever they choose. If you're in the mood for something sweet, try pancakes or waffles slathered with butter and syrup (or with fresh fruit, if you must). Savory dishes include corned beef hash, omelets, and breakfast burritos. On Sundays, the offerings become a bit more exotic. Representative dishes include a seaside omelet and a selection of heartier dishes. The eatery also offers sandwiches if you arrive around midday and want something more standard. |

Chicago Chophouse |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
604 8th Ave SW, Calgary T2P 1G5 • 403-265-3000
|
|
Distance:
~0.677 km * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
When your mind fixates on red meat, with its rich flavor, tenderness and sizzle, you'll want to come here to satisfy the craving. The Chophouse features local Canadian beef that's dry-aged, ensuring that you get a terrific cut of meat. Prime rib is the real draw, juicy and succulent, although the pork isn't too shabby either. You can order something manageable, like the 8-oz. filet mignon, or be a complete profligate and opt for the 42-oz. porterhouse (you are supposed to share it with someone else). Chicken, seafood and burgers are also available. Everything is a la carte, so if you want side items, you'll have to order them separately. Wines add an extra note of luxury. |
