Vero Bistro
Elegant and tasteful Vero Bistro is one of Calgary’s best fine dining restaurants, rated highly by locals and visitors for their takes on traditional fare. Mains like pan-seared scallops and grass-fed steak and frites are crowd-pleasers. Order a seafood platter, bacon-wrapped dates, or charcuterie to split among friends and family.
James Joyce Irish Pub
For a classic Irish pub experience in Canada, grab a cold beer or sample a flight at the Irish-owned James Joyce Pub along lively Stephen’s Avenue. Stop by for weekend brunch, order a hearty jalapeno and bacon burger or crispy fish and chips, or try a dish from their dedicated gluten-free menu.
Minas Brazilian Steakhouse
At this Brazilian restaurant, you’ll find authentic open barbecue dishes, or rodizio. Slow-roasted pork, fried pork belly, cassava, and polenta are popular sides and appetizers on Mina’s menu, and you can also order one of their giant plates to share.
Culture and History of Calgary
Calgary’s history stretches back thousands of years when Alaska Natives, including the Blackfoot tribes and others, lived without interruption from settlers. In 1876, Fort Calgary was established, setting in motion the town’s trajectory into homesteading and early 20th century oil booms. Today, Calgary is home to a population of over one million residents, and is regularly included in “best places to live” lists in Canada.
