Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Aspen / Strathcona / West Springs

We went to DOPO to celebrate my wife’s birthday and loved literally everything! The hostess and our server were both wonderful and the unique space set a perfect tone for a night out. We had ordered drinks upstairs at Bar Rosso, as we were early for our reservation. Both cocktails were fabulous and we enjoyed them back downstairs at DOPO alongside the whipped ricotta and green tomatoes to start. Our meal was delicious (thank you to our server for the recommendations on both food and wine!) and I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about the tirimisu to end the evening. We will be back :)

Niko’s is just a hidden gem in Calgary. The food is fantastic and the service is warm and friendly. We have dined here more times than we can count and each time is so special.

Comfortably one of the best dining experiences i’ve had in Calgary. Hats off to the team behind this place, as I doubt better japanese cuisine exists in the city. Would absolutely love to be back here in the future.

For the love of French cuisine and French culture located in the Beltline of Calgary, Cassis Bistro is the place. I was blown away by their exceptional food and wine list. Of course we had champagne by the glass and a French 75! The croquettes, the ravioli, the mushroom soup, the beef tartare and mussels frites! What I didn’t think we had room for was the desserts but I’m glad we did. The lemon tart and the creme brûlée was like being back in Lyon, France.

This was an excellent choice for our annual tradition of going out to a nice restaurant on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and the service was attentive without being overly done. We will definitely return in the future for special occasions.
