Historical dining |

This turn-of-the-century Victorian mansion was recently restored to its former glory and is one of Calgary's newest theme restaurants. Part of the Fort Calgary Interpretive Center, the house and garden are used for casual dining as well as for hosting wedding receptions, business meetings and corporate retreats. The charming decor and staff uniforms are decidedly historical with an 1890's pioneer focus. Steak, garden salads, pasta dishes and a good selection of wines form the majority of the menu, but the food takes backseat to the atmosphere. Theatre companies occasionally use the Dean House for "Mystery Dinners," where the diners take part in staged murder mysteries. Reservations are recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

At Rocky's, they don't stand on ceremony. In fact, when you place your order outside this old red bus, you have to stand on top of a step and speak clearly into one of the windows. They offer fast, but delicious food and you can order a number of burgers, hot dogs and various kinds of sandwiches. There are three picnic tables behind the bus, but most people take their delectables and go. Although the fare is simple, it is delicious and well prepared, and the service is friendly and fast.
