Came in during a busy night and ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing and both complimented each other well. The food was outstanding and I tried things I had never even heard of before which was a great treat for me. Other then the food and wine the service was what turned our night off. Our glasses would be... More

I have to start off by saying this is the best meal I've had in my two years in Calgary. It was also the most expensive meal I have had in my two years in Calgary. If you come out, expect to pay between 100-200 each for dinner and drinks. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great, would... More

I've been in the city for 5 months and so far, it's the best food have seen and tasted. Had the tasting menu with premium wine pairing for two ($441 before tip). Food was very good and perfectly cooked. The best course was the foie gras au torchon. The service was great. The only issue we had was the time... More

Atmosphere: beautiful, just loved the lighting, location, tables. Service: Amazing! Our server was knowledgable, came at the right times and talked just enough. His expertise was definitely the highlight of the night. Food: we had the tasting menu. I loved the timing of the food coming out, not too quick or too slow. It took a total of 3 hours... More

Rouge is a very good restaurant, but not outstanding. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed our dinner, but the expectation was that it would be outstanding due to the reviews and accolades it has received. It is also very expensive and dare I say overpriced for the content. We shared the seared scallops and the egg yolk ravioli to start.... More

Went for the tasting dinner paired with premium wines. This turned out to be a great decision. Great wine pairings with equally fantastically creative dishes. Tasting menu changes weekly so there is always something new to try.

I had the Chef's tasting menu with wine pairings and was blown away. It was not cheap, but it was worth every penny. There was only one of the many courses that I didn't love, and that was a personal preference rather than a food quality issue. Great care and creativity goes into the meals and you can tell that...

A friend and I visited Calgary last weekend, and we had to check out Rouge based on all the good things we had heard about it. We weren't disappointed! We had the Chef's Tasting with wine pairing, and every course was phenomenal. Even the rolls, the amuse bouche, and the palate cleanser were exceptional. It was quite pricy but worth... More
