A look inside: Urban Fare, Calgary’s newest destination for foodies

Imagine a fresh new concept in dining and grocery shopping. A place where you can enjoy a gourmet meal, a glass of wine or craft beer, and at the same time, stock your pantry with all of your everyday basics.

Look no further, Calgary’s newest premier food destination, Urban Fare, has arrived.

And it ain’t your average grocery store. Think part modern eatery, part gourmet food to-go, and part grocery store. If you’re a serious foodie, you’re going to love it. A place where you can enjoy a delicious, gourmet meal prepared by chefs, before exploring the rest of the fresh market? Sign us up.

Darrell Jones, president of Save-On-Foods (parent company to Urban Fare) says, “We know that Calgarians love food as much as we do, and that made the decision to open this location a natural one.”

Here’s what to expect from the 26,869 sq. ft. Urban Fare, now open at Calgary’s Mount Royal:

Fresh produce

Urban Fare is famous for its high standards of quality and freshness — and it’s obvious when you walk into their fresh produce department. With an amazing selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as exotic specialties and hard-to-find ingredients, you’ll be able to fully stock your fridge.

Meats and cheeses

If you’re a meat-lover, you’ll be in heaven when you see Urban Fare’s full-serve butcher case with the best cuts of local beef, all-natural pork, dry-aged steaks, house-made sausages, fresh authentic Wagyu beef, and more.

Be sure to check out the cheese counter, which is stocked with hundreds of artisan cheese from around the world. Whatever you’re looking for, you name it. They’ve got it.

At Urban Fare, you can also take a seat at their Charcuterie and Wine Bar, where you can enjoy expertly curated boards of meats and cheeses, paired perfectly with a glass of wine or local craft beer.

Delicious food offerings

At Urban Fare’s restaurant, you’ll be able to find an abundance of delicious foods, including handcrafted sushi, poke bowls made to order, a daily hot carvery, artisan pizzas, gourmet sandwiches grilled to order, a hot buffet, and a soup and fresh salad bar. And a Starbucks, too! Talk about endless choices.

Deli counter

At Urban Fare’s deli counter, you will find all the natural cuts, as well as several premium exports, such as their 24-month aged prosciutto from Parma, Italy. A tip from us; ask for a sample of their house-made roast beef or glazed ham. It’s unbeatable.
