Brand-new steakhouse to open in a popular Alberta mountain town this month
A brand-new steakhouse from the team behind some of Alberta’s most beloved restaurants will be opening in Canmore before the month is out.
Hunter, Concorde Entertainment Group’s first Rocky Mountains steakhouse, is gearing up to open to the public on Friday, June 26, just in time for peak tourist season in the mountain town.
Designed with iconic locations like Aspen in mind, the restaurant aims to incorporate mountain life and midcentury design, with warm woods, lived-in texture and low amber lighting.
The restaurant is built around the dishes we’ve come to know and love from steakhouses, including shrimp cocktail, wedge salad, and steak tartare, as well as classic sides such as baked potato or French fries.

There will also be pasta dishes, soups, and salads on the menu.
Of course, the main event here is the steaks and in a first for the restaurant group, the kitchen will centre around a wood-fired Josper grill, combining charcoal, hardwood and precise temperature control, balancing deep crusts and rich flavour.
“Hunter is rooted in the food people genuinely want when they choose a steakhouse. Great steaks cooked over fire and the classics that have stood the test of time,” says Sterling Cummings, senior director of BOH operations at Concorde.
“We’re not interested in reimagining those dishes. Our focus is on executing them exceptionally well and letting great ingredients and disciplined cooking speak for themselves. The experience still carries all of the indulgence and occasion people love about a steakhouse, just without the unnecessary performance.”
While Canmore is first up, Concorde will also be bringing the Hunter concept to Calgary, with another location taking over the Local 522 space at 522 6th Ave. SW, so watch this space.
