Best Historic Restaurants in Downtown

Excellent! Thank you Carolyn for making me smile every time.

The Express Lunch at Teatro is incredible value for outstanding food. Top notch.

Model Milk in Calgary is a fantastic spot for a guy's night out! Our evening kicked off with a round of East Coast oysters, fresh and briny, setting the perfect tone. The pull-apart bread was a comforting hit—soft, buttery, and perfect for sharing. The beef tartare was top-notch, with just the right balance of richness and seasoning, while the shrimp toasties brought a creative twist with their crispy texture and bold flavors. For mains, we went with the beef strip loin and fried chicken. The strip loin was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, paired with thoughtful sides that complemented every bite. But the fried chicken? Absolute star of the show. Crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, it’s a dish that keeps you coming back for more. The ambiance at Model Milk strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for celebrating or just catching up. Pair that with attentive service, and it’s a must-visit in Calgary. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Annabelle’s Kitchen Downtown. The food was exceptional, clearly made with care, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was great, though a loud customer caused a slight disruption. Overall, a wonderful experience that I’ll definitely repeat!

What a fabulous evening out! Unique setting. I did not realize my husband had not been to Gasoline Alley before when I booked our evening out. He was in heaven. Beautiful old cars and his favourite Christmas movie on the big screen. Also, I must say that I have a better appreciation of the movie after this dinner and a movie experience. Truth be known, this was the first time I have watched the entire movie without falling asleep. Thank you, Julia and everyone, for being so attentive. And the food! Oh my … that soup! And the chicken! … with a juicy roasted half lemon! Who knew that would be so good together? (Obviously the chef!) Thank you for a lovely evening and a delicious meal.
