A long-standing staple of dining for over 30 years, River Café has carved out a legacy in Calgary, providing excellent fresh ingredients and wine from across the country! Located on Prince’s Island Park, River Café also has one of the most unique cozy atmospheres in our city! With wood flooring, bright white birch-lined bar, and a rocky hearth, it has a very familiar and homey feel.

The Wilde

Calgary’s newest fine dining experience is The Wilde, which operates out of the swanky new hotel, The Dorian. The Wilde is a sky-high restaurant, located on the 27th floor, serving specialty cocktails and exquisite food! Much like the hotel is named after, the Wilde takes inspiration from Oscar Wilde works, but instead of the cozier storybook vibe, The Wilde is chic and cosmopolitan.
