Okotoks Food Tour
Have you ever explored the food scene in Okotoks?

Visit the new fried Chicken spot Birdie
The menu offers chicken pieces, plenty of unique sandwiches, sides, milkshakes, craft beer, and more. For sandwiches, there are options like BBQ, Chipotle, Plain Jane, and Mediterranean, to name a few. The Nashville sandwich here is both hot and sweet and comes topped simply with lettuce, pickles, and mayo.
Where: 920 Northmount Drive NW Unit 7, Calgary
Sunday Brunch Trivia
A brunch menu filled with eggs benny, mimosas, delicious French toast, and lots of local craft beer is enough for us, but the trivia to go along with it makes it even more fun.
