Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant

This is an excellent restaurant set in a heritage building on the edge of Fish Creek Park. The food is well prepared and the serving staff are friendly and professional. The wine list is extensive and the food is priced on the high side but not as high as you might expect for such a unique building and location.

Just meeting a girlfriend for lunch, had never tried BVR Restaurant and always wanted to. Ambiance was beautiful but it was terribly loud as unfortunately there was a long table beside us with a lot of people at it making it very hard to hear the server or converse. We both had a burger and salad. Burger was excellent but the salad was meh. Could not ascertain if there was a salad dressing in it or not but was told it was a vinaigrette. Our server was excellent and attentive young man. Loved the art on the walls. I will come again but Iwould hope you would put large parties either in a separate room or against a wall instead of in the middle of the dining room.

Highly recommend this restaurant fantastic food and outstanding service!

Fantastic service including great knowledge of wine by the Maitre D'. The tasting menu was well laid out with perfect sized portions. A bit noisy, but understandable due to the Christmas season. Looking forward to a return visit!

It is not our first time to Bow Valley Ranche - so you get the picture - we keep coming back! Why? Well on the Brunch side of things - the Steak and Eggs is the best in town. Also they are accommodating, my stepson wanted to try the Short Rib combined with an Eggs Benny - and the kitchen obliged - not only that - the extra charge was most reasonable. The ambiance is lovely - in winter the snow sets the scene so beautifully, but other times of the year also have much charm in the surroundings. Without a long drive, you feel like you have gone right out into the country. Thank you to the staff for another lovely meal.

Their butternut squash soup was to die for! I got the duck breast and my boyfriend got the lamb. Both dishes were beyond delicious! The service staff was wonderful.
We came for my boyfriends birthday and the dessert we ordered had a little “happy birthday” chocolate in it.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely return for more scrumptious meals.

Excellent place for gatherings. My friends and I had an amazing time and experience. Will definitely be going again soon❤️

Service was outstanding, food very good and the location is totally awesome.

Great evening once again! Food was outstanding, music was great and our waiter Cameron was superb! Very entertaining evening with all.

Beautiful ambience and delicious food. This is our first choice always for a nice girls lunch

Had anniversary lunch here, service was great. Lots of parking space. Great surroundings, where we walked after lunch. Staff were very friendly. Cost was very reasonable. We had lunchtime special, which was exceptional quality and very reasonably priced(included free coffee).

The food was outstanding. We found, however, the noise level was incredibly high and distracting, even though the area in which we were dining was not full. I would not call the noise level 'energetic' as described but absolutely overwhelming at times. The first waiter with whom we were seated, Rich, was outstanding. Unfortunately, when we asked if we could move due to the noise level, (we were sitting beside a large group) Rich was no longer our server. Unfortunate. The second waiter was not nearly as professional, appearing as if in a hurry, short of time and insincere. The timing of the meal was off as well. In all honesty, this restaurant has been a real draw for me, but I don't think I will go back based on our experience. My two friends were also taken aback by the noise level and the behaviour of the waiter. Sad. A great place in so many ways.

Reliably excellent food and service in a fantastic setting.

Absolutely excellent. Outstanding service and food.

A great experience. The staff was amazing the food was unbelievable and the atmosphere was beyond expectations.

The Bow Valley Ranche is spectacular in winter. You immerse into another world. The restored interior kept adds a lot to the experience, but what sets it apart is the holiday decor and the music. The food was spectacular, particularly their elk tartare specialty. Great service.

Amazing food! Amazing service! A majestic setting for just about any occasion! Loved it. Thank you. Will be back for sure. Loved the Christmas decor. Really out did themselves 😊

Wonderful food as always. Some music in the background would have been good.

Awesome food and service

We had a fantastic time at the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant. The staff is very professional and the ambience is so special to get you in the festive spirit. Not enough words for the food. Thank you!

It's awsome!

great location and ambience, not great value for money.

Always so elegant.

Lovely place to have a relaxing lunch. Music was very soothing to the sole.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. We will be back!

Unreal food and service!! Will absolutely go back

Service and food were great as usual. The surf & turf for two is well worth the price for quality and good portions.

Had a fantastic date, Yes on the expensive side but is well worth it.

Great dining experience. Lovely environment and setting.

Outstanding experience, outstanding service (we had Cameron as our waiter - wonderful gentleman) and unbelievable food! We will definitely be back - perhaps weekly!

Enjoyed a fantastic meal for our anniversary. Service was paced well for us as we were enjoying a rare night out - did not feel rushed, time between courses allowed us to savour & digest. The butternut squash voulet was fantastic, as was the beef tenderloin & vegetable Wellington. All delicious! Save room for dessert - the Death by Chocolate is to die for!!! The main dining room was louder than we would have liked so we had to talk at full volume to hear one another but it was just a full house that evening so there wasn’t anything that could have been done about it. We will definitely be back!

The Ranche is our favourite Calgary restaurant. The food and service is always predictably excellent. We take our out of town visitors here, and have celebrated graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and date nights here. We love it!

we have been to Bow Valley Ranch many times and for many occasions beautiful place great food and wonderful atmosphere great service just an all around great place to go and eat and enjoy

Wonderful evening out! Hadn’t been in a few years but glad we rediscovered it.

We brought our Mother in for Afternoon Tea. It was phenomenal. We we're very happy with the meal and my Mother was very impressed! Thank you for helping make her day so special. 😃

Excellent food, wonderful service and great atmosphere - even on a cold Tuesday evening.

I liked everything about the night except the ending where the waiter did not seem to appreciate the $20 tip I left. I consider $20 a decent amount and should be greeted with appreciation. If servers think people are going to be happy drinking wine inflated 300% above value and then expected to tip on top of that they are sadly mistaken.

Great Services and Food. I will come back again for sure.

Beside my wife's cooking, this was the best food we've tasted in a long, long time. It made us go "Oh my goodness," roll our eyes, and laugh out loud. Beautiful presentation. Staff was attentive and friendly, but very professional. Atmosphere was accepting. I would have felt comfortable in jeans or a suit.

Great brunch. Lots of different choices to make everyone happy! We all had
Eggs Benedict ...traditional, spinach, etc. Excellent. Service was very good.
Can't beat the atmosphere.
