Market

Top choice in Calgary


With an earthy yet futuristic feel, award-winning Market has gone a step further in the fresh-local trend. Not only does it bake its own bread, but it also butchers and cures meat, makes cheese and grows 16 varieties of heirloom seeds year-round. As if that weren't enough, it's then all whipped into meals that are scrumptious and entirely satisfying.

Look for dishes like truffle buttermilk chicken wings, hand-rolled pasta or duck waffles. There's also a $25 prix-fixe option…yum!
