Re: For those already in Canada
What is the name/location of your favourite eating place and why?
I know this is a daft one - but just wondered if there is one or a couple that stand out against the others, at least that way when we come over i wont have to pile on too much weight by trying them all

If you like chicken (and who doesn't) then try Swiss Chalet.
It's cheap and cheerfull, really good food. Varied menu so something for everyone and quite a good kids menu. OH always does his Delboy impression when we go, "c'mon darlin' get your coat on, we're goin' a Swiss Chalet"
The Keg or Tony Romas for prime rib mmm.

Re: For those already in Canada
So far our favourites for steak in Calgary are La Ranche (Fish Creek Park), Carvers at the airport Sheraton and Bear's Den (Bearspaw Road, off the 1A as you head towards Cochrane). All VERY pricey by Canadian standards but had decently cooked vegetables.
Also bear in mind that - compared to London, Paris etc. - there just aren't any spectacular restaurants in Calgary (IMO)...
And just in case that sounds ever so snobbish.... our family is devastated to find there are no Nando's, Wagamama's or Balti curryhouse franchises in Calgary but if any budding restaurateurs fancy finding out how to export the franchise, we'll be good customers.

According to that august publication, Air Canada's En route magazine, the best new restaurant in Canada is Atlantica in Newfoundland. http://www.enroutemagazine.com/e/november07/best_b.html Not eaten their yet as the prices mean that it'll be a special treat!

Edit: Oh dear, I've just checked my ticket and I'm flying AC to Yurop tonight. I didn't mean to be rude, honest.
