River Cafe - Calgary, Alberta

A beautiful garden cafe NOT to be missed! The restaurant sources all ingredients locally including the coffee and it was a beautiful sight to see the edible gardens just outside of the cafe. We only had coffee this time cos we just had lunch but had seen the cafe before ... when we walked past a week ago and made it a point to return. The coffee was delicious and took us by surprise Read more

The good old River Cafe offers amazing food and good service. We went there on a busy Sunday and had to wait at least 20 minutes for our order, though the server forgot to mention this. Even if you book well in advance for a special event like a birthday, ... you won't receive any complimentary items such as a drink or a cookie. Overall, I'd give it 4.5 stars. Read more

Best Egg benny I ever had in my life. I've been so many famous brunch places and when I have half of it, always I fell greasy or salty, so hard to finish all but you were the best of the best to me. I was already happy and fun ... when I have potatoes, It was crispy and not that hard to chew it, some other place's one is crispy because it's burn but this was not. also I couldn't feel it wasn't that greasy. Also your sauce was another level. It's was fish benny so can be little fishy and greasy but your sauce which contains yogurt, dill and fried shallots, it was refreshing my every single bite so keeping me to eat again and again. If I didn't have my next schedule, I'd like to stay and try the other foods but couldn't. Thank you for good food and services and hope to go there once again for another pleasant experience. Thank you! Read more

Incredible experience dining at the River Cafe today. The food and drinks were fantastic and the service was top notch. Our server, Melanie was hands down one of the best I have encountered. She is clearly passionate about the food and knew the menu inside out. Her recommendations were on ... point. Our glasses were never empty and we never waited more than a few minutes for anything we asked for. Not to mention she was extremely personable, friendly, and attentive. Very pleased and impressed! Will be returning very soon. Read more

Such a wonderful restaurant! We have been here so many times and are always impressed. The room is so pleasant and inviting, views are great both inside and out. Service is so attentive, yet understated. An every-day lunch feels like a special occasion. We had the YYC EXP lunch today, an excellent ... value at $35. A beautiful fresh kale salad, a long-braised beef shank and a small bite of fruit pate for dessert. All local, all delicious. Take a walk across the bridge to Prince's Island, you'll be rewarded!
