Right now I'm packing for vacation, so with places other than Calgary on my mind, I thought I might mention a few out of town places I've enjoyed recently.
New York City
Eight Mile Creek - They have beer from home, emu carpaccio and kangaroo. What more can I say? The upstairs dining room is small and cosy, with a lively bar downstairs. Well worth the visit.
L'Ecole - The restaurant of the French Culinary Institute, this is beautiful food at a down to earth price. The menu has 5 courses, most with a choice of 2 dishes, and matched wines for a little extra. You need a reservation - make it online or by phone.
Vancouver
Bin 941 Tapas Parlour - A tiny, busy little place, expect a long wait unless you arrive really early. Tiny portions of exquisitely presented food, extensive wine list, and delicious desserts.
Fiddlehead Joe's - A lovely waterside restaurant with a heated patio for outdoor dining. The food was excellent, service was good, and watching the boats in the sunset was magical.
Banff
Bison Mountain Bistro - Canadian food in a famous mountain village. The menu features ingredients from all over Canada, including wild salmon, bison, scallops and lamb. The Lavender Smore for desert was fantastic!
