This is the best restaurant in Okotoks and one of the best restaurants in Alberta.
This hidden gem is located inside a building that was once a church. It’s over 100 years old!
The menu here changes seasonally, offering fresh interpretations of traditional, healthy, and flavourful recipes. The lunch and dinner menus are fantastic and made entirely from scratch, down to the salad dressings.
Even though there are changes, there are many dishes that remain the same, like the Heartland Burger and chicken and brie sandwich, topped with date jam and Granny Smith apples. Appetizers, salads, pasta, and unique mains, like the ribeye steak with Hungarian red pepper stew, will appeal to all types of diners.
This place still feels like a secret, but it’s certainly worth the drive out. Making a reservation is definitely recommended.

Jerry’s Restaurant – D’Arcy Ranch Golf Course
D’Arcy Ranch Golf Course
Many people are already familiar with this spot because the golf course is incredible.
Golfers are likely familiar with just how great this food is, but you don’t need to hit the links to stop by Jerry’s Restaurant. It’s one of the best food spots in Okotoks.
The weekend breakfast menu is fantastic, and the all-day options are made up of inspired dishes, like Japanese gyoza, a Bavarian Ruben sandwich, French bistro beef dip, and the butter chicken bowl, to name just a few.
Perfect for a golf course, there are also items like nachos, burgers, soups, and salads, but they’re anything but ordinary.

Every town deserves an amazing pizza spot, and for Okotoks, it’s Red Rock Pizza.
The signature pizzas are the way to go unless you’re feeling something classic because there are those as well. There’s also a create your own option.
We recommend going for the True North with maple-soaked bacon, the Kamikaze with teriyaki chicken, or the Mango Tango, topped with smokey tomato sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto, mangos, chili oil, and fresh herbs.
There are also salads, appetizers, and signature pastas, like the Red Rock Mac, made with macaroni, wild mushrooms, onion, alfredo, garlic, and truffle.

The British Chippy
Craving a taste of Britain? This is the spot.
The fish and chips are fantastic here, but all of the British favourite sides are here as well, like the hard-to-find mushy peas.
The owners here moved to Calgary in 2009 straight from across the pond, so you know the food has been developed by the right group. Traditional meat pies, pork battered sausages, and Pimm’s Cups can also be ordered here.
