UPSCALE DINING
Start your day off with a delicious breakfast and finish with an intimate dinner at the hotel's award-winning restaurant - Chef's Table. You can choose to dine inside or outside, on a seasonal patio.
Chef's Table is one of Calgary’s top fine dining establishments featuring an open concept kitchen and ever-changing tasting menus with wine pairings. Highly recommended!
"Dine in our open-kitchen restaurant and watch chef Michel Nop and his team prepare award-winning French cuisine. Savor a delicious gourmet breakfast of citrus buttermilk pancakes and eggs en cocotte, or come in for dinner to taste our foie gras, pork tenderloin and bouillabaisse. Be sure to leave room for our local and imported cheeses, variety of dessert selections and house-made ice cream." - kensingtonriversideinn.com
