Calgary’s annual 10-day dining festival, The Big Taste, is back for 2016, showcasing a smorgasbord of eateries–85 in fact.
From March 4 to 13, participating restaurants will be offering three- and five-course fixed priced lunch and dinner menus at one of five price points ($15, $25, $25, $35, and $65). The festival also boasts a series of special culinary events.
Presented by the Calgary Downtown Association, the 2016 festival will not only feature an expanded number of participating eateries (last year’s line-up included 70 restaurants), but also establishments situated outside of the downtown core.
To ensure a table at The Big Taste, reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made online here.
