Here are all eight of the Calgary restaurants that hit the list this year:
- 10. Pigeonhole
- 29. River Cafe
- 30. Ten Foot Henry
- 39. Shokunin
- 61. Anju
- 70. Deane House
- 81. Model Milk
- 100. Foreign Concept
The rankings are determined by a combination of expert and informed opinions from not only Canada’s restaurant critics, but well-traveled and food-savvy diners, as well as industry insiders.
Not surprisingly, there’s been little movement at the top of the list, which is pretty thick with Toronto and Montreal establishments.
