Dine on fresh sustainably-sourced seafood, wild game meats and more at Big Fish & Open Range, located in Calgary. Its casual setting and inviting atmosphere is ideal for grabbing a bite to eat with friends or family.

Big Fish offers food such as a seafood chowder, smoked oyster sliders or chili-glazed frog legs that make for flavorful appetizers. Guests can feast on an entrée of pan-roasted walleye with wilted spinach, fish tacos topped with tomato-mango salsa or a lamb and lobster burger. An oyster bar as well as delicious house-made desserts are also available.

Open Range embodies the essence of our city; cutting edge, but comfortable and unpretentious. Open Range mixes modern with tradition, serving every cut you would expect but preparing them with interesting variations of flavours. We offer locally raised beef, elk, bison and game prepared in an easy going Southwestern style. We are one of Calgary's premier steakhouses with multiple awards and accolades.

Our party was four adults, two 5 year olds, and one 2 year old. The service was excellent. The food was hot and generously portioned. Extra portions of bread were quickly served for the kids. I can't say enough about how great an experience this was. We'll definitely be back.

Of all the places we've eaten in Calgary over the past year, Big Fish was by far the best value for money. Great food, big portions, and very friendly staff who didn't rush us. I highly recommend Big Fish.

I love Big Fish & Open Range. The food and service are consistently excellent. Great wine options. I’m a regular visitor and I’ll be back again to either of the locations. My only wish is they would update the decor/seating a bit at the Renfrew location. Decor is just OK.

We've been coming to Big Fish since it first opened and it's still one of our favorite restaurants. The inclusion of the Open Range menu is nice and convenient. I preferred the desserts from there so Andy would go next door and get them since both the establishments were owned by the same people.

Hi Douglas, Thanks for the review and recommendation! It pleases us to know that you have been dining with us since we have opened. We are very humbled that you consider us as one of your favourite restaurants. Looking forward to serving you again. - Big Fish & Open Range Team
