Mocha Cabana Bistro

Southern Alberta


Don't be fooled by this 1930s blacksmith shop's austere exterior: inside it's relaxed and bright. Using local suppliers, big salads and pastas are served up. The creative burger menu has toppings like Hutterite bacon and chorizo; the weekend brunch brings banana bread French toast. If you weren't already won over, there's also a kids' menu, live music and cocktails.

As if that weren't enough, this is the, we repeat, the place to go in Lethbridge for cheesecake.
