Meet our world-class chefs

Chef Emilio Montenegro runs the show at Fonda Fora at the Westley Hotel in Calgary. He was named to Food and Beverage Magazine’s Top 30 Under 30. He’s just one of the many Alberta chefs gaining international recognition and winning major competitions.

We take outdoor dining to a whole new level

Our summers are short, so we’re pretty serious about al fresco dining. Try dinner under the stars—and a sheltering dome—at the Fairmont Banff Springs or meet the people who grow your food at a farm-to-table dinner.

Our chefs have a growth mindset

Agriculture and Alberta go way back. It’s only natural that the local bounty plays a starring role in memorable dishes at restaurants throughout the province.
