“Elegance” is not a word used much in our common talk anymore, and it is sadly lacking in restaurant reviews. But here you have it, accompanied by “history". (Along with Rouge, this is an original grand old Calgary home, turned into a grand new restaurant. For newcomers to the city, it must be remembered that what is now the Inglewood strip was at one time thought of as Calgary’s main street, until the railway came in and put the station farther west. This caused quite a fuss at the time, meaning that businesses has to quickly flee to the other side of the Elbow River. Knox Prestyterian Church—now Knox United—actually moved its wooden building on the winter ice to be in the heart of things.
Afternoon tea is especially enjoyed here, not only for its excellent service, but also, to the surprise of Dawsons, beause it is quite filling. Who knew that sandwiches and little things could be so satisfying?
This is an experience that all Calgarians should have, making this an excellent spot to bring guests as it shows the Calgary ethos without horses or chuck wagons.
