Best French Restaurants in Calgary / Southern Alberta

Was good. You tell with the valentine’s special it was a different vibe but the food was still amazing. Would 100% go away not during a peak holiday or set menu to see how it is.

Carino was fantastic! Their Valentine’s Day special was so outstanding and we were able to get lucky with a secluded table for the evening. The service was outstanding and everyone that came to our table was so lovely.

It's been a long while since I've left a review like this. We've become accustomed to "it was good" so when a GREAT experience comes along, I know I owe the review it earned. From the front door to last goodbye, the cocktails, pop-up appetizer menu, the wine, the mains and the service from an outstanding lady named Jewel everything was exceptional. The extensive and unique cocktail menu was a fun opener and we enjoyed 3 spectacular choices. Love the overreaching print shop theme in drink names. Next up was a one night only, pop up appetizer menu/ desert menu he in conjunction with Salt & Brick. These a-la-carte selections were so so tasty - we had 4 different ones each hard to rank from favourite in down - lots of tied for second. We had the braised rib and the sablefish dish which was mine. It was delicate and so full of amazing flavours that worked incredible together - some charcoal smoke in the fish and cabbage balanced with the miso and citrus- 20/10 and I don't say that lightly. My husband enjoyed the braised short rib and it was big, tender, juicy and flavourful 10/10. I stalled on selecting a wine and Jewels arrived at the perfect moment with a suggestion that brought out the best in both the dish and wine. We chatted with her about the restaurant including the menus, chef and staff. The pride that everyone took in ensuring things were "just so" was evident. The chef beamed from the kitchen when she told him how much we enjoyed the food and she told us how he is so kind and is making the kitchen such a fun place to be a part of. We left with full bellies and felt great about supporting a place that seems to be doing everything right. I just popped a quick Look at the webpage and saw this "We had long wanted to develop a restaurant concept centered around making people feel special." Well I'd say you did it. You can tell Jewel feels it's special and we did too. My husband already has a business meal planned and we will be back. Pure awesome. Thanks Jewels!!!

Really enjoyed our first visit to Vero Bistro. The food was excellent, and our server was courteous and professional. Really appreciated the restaurant recommendations for our upcoming visit to Italy. Would have preferred to get our main courses a little quicker, but it was a busy night, so it wasn't a major issue. Looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu on our next visit.

Lunch here was great, dining room is beautiful and not loud even during the lunch rush. We had pizza and pasta and both were great! Very reasonable prices as well. Our server was serenity and she was great, she told us about some great specials that we will be back for like half price wine on Wednesdays and a happy hour charcuterie board
