Alberta | Canada Culinary

Welcome to Alberta, where the bold, the adventurous and the free-spirited come to play.

Alberta is home to North America’s largest mountain range. It’s where dinosaurs once roamed and where dense forests make way to open prairies. You can swim in jewel-coloured lakes, walk across glaciers and climb frozen waterfalls. If you have a Wild Side, you’ll feel right at home here.

Farm to table, naturally. Vegetables, berries, honey, grains, cheeses and more are all produced within our borders, making for delectable, seasonal foods to try at restaurants or purchase from a local farmers market.

Hankering for a good steak? Alberta beef is world-famous for its quality and flavour. For those with a wilder palette, the province hosts plenty of elk, bison and other delicacies for you to dig into as well.

Our chefs have a growth mindset. Agriculture and Alberta go way back. It’s only natural that the local bounty plays a starring role in memorable dishes at restaurants throughout the province.

Some of Canada’s best chefs are here in mountain lodges, rustic eateries and fine-dining restaurants, offering a chance to experience fresh, seasonal ingredients wherever you go. Indigenous chefs celebrate their roots with innovative cuisine based on ancient traditions.

Alberta’s flourishing craft brewery and distillery scene means you can sample your way through the province via tasting rooms and tours, too. Friendly bartenders are here to whip up an old favourite or guide you towards something new and exciting.

Ready to indulge like a local? Spoil yourself with Alberta’s farm fresh meat and produce, top chefs, award-winning beverage makers and destination restaurants.
