The 38 Best Restaurants in Calgary, Canada | Eater

"This decades-old restaurant, located on the picturesque Prince’s Island Park, was embracing the whole local and sustainable ethos before those were marketing buzzwords. Owner-operator Sal Howell’s unfaltering leadership has kept River Café feeling fresh and at the top of its game year after year. Executive chef Scott MacKenzie maintains the culinary bar with creations that celebrate all things Canadian, but especially hyperlocally grown and raised ingredients during the warmer months. Having a meal here in the summer, while the on-site garden is in full bloom, is nothing short of magical. [$$$-$$$$]" - Dan Clapson
