What to eat in Calgary

Calgary's food story pairs Alberta beef with ginger beef, a Chinese-Canadian dish associated with the city. Its range of international cooking makes a single 'local cuisine' label too narrow.

Why go

A steakhouse meal speaks to the region’s cattle country, while ginger beef points to a Calgary Chinese-Canadian tradition dating to the 1970s. East and Southeast Asian and Mediterranean cuisines also offer options beyond those two touchstones. Choose a cuisine and neighbourhood first, then check current menus and locations.

Useful to know

  • Look up current menus and locations for the cuisine you want; restaurant lists and prices change quickly.
  • If eating in the downtown office district on a weekday, allow flexibility around the lunch rush.
