Calgary has long tried to show the world it’s more than a meat and potatoes town. While a vibrant culinary community has developed, featuring all kinds of cuisine, we are indeed a city that knows our steak. Alberta is cattle country, and with so much fantastic beef ranches in this province, Calgary is home to plenty of classic steakhouses. If you’re in the mood for a nice slab or premium beef, Calgary has you covered. Here are some of the best places in town to satisfy your steak craving.

Carver’s Steakhouse
Chairman’s Steakhouse
One of Calgary’s newest steakhouses, Chairman’s Steakhouse is located in the south community of Mahogany, but even if you’re in a more central part of the city, this classy restaurant is worth the journey. Designed with a sense of high-end elegance (the restaurant is named after Frank Sinatra), the menu is incredibly opulent, with a selection of high-end steaks that can be made even fancier with add-ons like ruby port jus or foie gras mushroom sauce.

Saltlik
Saltlik
A favourite amongst Calgary businesspeople, Saltlik serves a solid steak dinner without too much pretention. The menu has a little bit of everything, but the CAB Prime sirloin steaks are the highlight, especially when they’re paired with a side of lobster mashed potatoes.
Vintage Chophouse & Tavern
These are just a few of the places that are classified as steakhouses. Many other restaurants in Calgary also feature incredible steaks on their menus. If it’s Canadian, or even better, Alberta beef, you really can’t go wrong.
