Chef’s Table at Kensington Riverside Inn is a gem on Calgary’s thriving dining scene. This intimate 40-seat restaurant, located in Calgary’s premier luxury inn, is quickly garnering a loyal following as well as some fantastic reviews. It was recently voted Best Hotel Dining for 2009 (Where Magazine, Jan.2010), as well as having been voted one of Canada's best new restaurants for 2008 (enRoute Magazine, Nov. 2008) and Calgary’s Best New Restaurant in 2008 (John Gilchrist Year-End Review, Calgary Herald, Dec. 28, 2008).
The room itself features an open kitchen design where diners can witness the talents of Executive Chef Jeff Park and his team at work. Decor includes dark brown Poltrona Frau leather chairs from Italy, white Frette linen tablecloths, a stylish and distinctive navy-blue Carostan carpet and rich estate grey walls with elegant trim. A noteworthy collection of contemporary art adorns the walls of the dining room.
Just steps beyond, a 30-seat lounge with creamy-white Poltrona Frau leather chairs from Italy, a purple Bisazza glass-tiled feature wall, a large fireplace with a beautiful mantelpiece, rich estate-grey walls, a distinctive glass railing for the stairway illuminated with recessed floor lights, and an array of contemporary paintings and sculptures all blend nicely to evoke a sense of comfort and elegance.
While the design exudes luxury, the focus is on the culinary experience at Chef’s Table. Patrons may enjoy the five-course tasting menu or order “à la carte.” Current menu items include Pan Seared Rougie Foie Gras, Rack of Spring Lamb, Yukon Arctic Char and Wild Mushroom Gnocchi. Our wine cellar offers brilliant pairings with Chef Jeff Park's culinary creations. Dining at Chef’s Table is a feast for the senses indeed.
