Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Calgary

We recently celebrated our anniversary at The Keg, and it was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant has such romantic vibes, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. We ordered steak with lobster, and my husband had steak—both were cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. A big thank you to our server, Kevin, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. His excellent service made our evening even more special. To make our celebration even sweeter, The Keg surprised us with a complimentary dessert to mark our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we truly appreciated it. Thank you, The Keg, for the amazing food, romantic ambiance, and top-notch service. We will definitely be returning!

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Bonterra and had the loveliest time! Our server was so friendly and remembered us from our visit in September for a birthday celebration, moreover he was very knowledgeable in helping us pick a bottle of wine to pair with the various items we ordered for our meal. I cannot say enough about how delicious the Carbonara was! Overall we had a wonderful experience at Bonterra and will be back.

As per usual, a lovely dinner at River Cafe. Hadn’t been for a while, so brought our guests to enjoy with us. Round of cocktails were great - unique and tasty. Beet and pea agnolotti appies were delicious. Our friends have a garlic sensitivity and the kitchen was amazing about it and made them a special fish dish without garlic. Much appreciated. The artic char and tenderloin entrees were cooked to perfection and very delicious. Our server was great - helpful and attentive. Freezing cold walk over made it that much more cozy inside. Still always cringe at the bill ($420 for 4) but worth it as a treat.

Nice food, great service. Menu has been shortened, but mst of our favorites are still there.
