Contemporary Canadian
A living wall of potted plants and a polished-pine bar greet you before the open kitchen takes over the room. This fine dining spot in Canmore pulls diners in from Calgary and well beyond for a menu that folds the chef's Québécois roots and time spent cooking in Japan into a tight, confident tasting format. Ranked 25th on Canada's 100 Best and holding four AAA Diamonds, it earns the drive through the Rockies without ever feeling like it's trying to.
