Calgary’s Best was a 10-day social media campaign we put on, to quiz Calgarians on their favourite places and businesses in the city. We will now be running 10 days of blog posts, based on the results of this quiz, to give you some reviews of some of the best venues in Calgary, from our friends/followers themselves!
Question: Where is the best steak in Calgary?
Mercato Retaurant:
“The sit-down experience at Mercato is unlike any other sit-down experience you may or may not have had. And that goes whether you’re at the surrounding Italian style counter, or your own personal table. Everything you order here is made fresh, using ingredients from our market. The open kitchen atmosphere (with our big Italian stoves front and centre) is loud and vibrant. Thing is, when you dine at Mercato, interaction with our chefs and other customers is as common as the bread and oil you’ll find at your table.” — Read more at www.mercatogourmet.com

Ric’s Grill:
“With the freshest, finest ingredients, they prepared house made Merlot reductions, tore crisp Romaine for Caesar salads, cut and caramelized onions, hand-peeled fresh shrimp and hand-carved our Sterling Silver™ steaks. Our steakcraft embodies our passion for food: for over a decade, we’ve served nothing but Sterling Silver beef, the top 12% of all beef raised in Canada. It’s graded for marbling, colour and texture and aged 21 days, to which we add more time and tenderness. So whether your pleasure is steak, Ocean Wise certified seafood or a creative pasta dish with fresh, house made sauce, be assured that your meal is created from the freshest and the best. We do this every day because we are pleased to welcome you to Ric’s, and we would love to see you again.” — Read more at www.ricsgrill.com.
