About Rouge

Rouge is a charming restaurant that focuses on attention to detail and flavorful dishes. Guests have enjoyed the tasting menu, with special mention of the knowledgeable and attentive service. The restaurant accommodates dietary preferences well and is family-friendly. The ambiance is particularly special in the summer when diners can walk through the garden and see the fresh produce used in their meals. The experience includes watching the chef select ingredients and observing bees making honey. Overall, Rouge offers a delightful dining experience with dishes that are both elegant and comforting.

The restaurant has received positive reviews, with guests praising the great location, building, servers, and chefs. One guest described the lamb as the best they've ever had, perfectly cooked. Another guest celebrated their anniversary at the restaurant, finding the service excellent and the food amazing. The chef's tasting menu and wine pairings were also well-received, with the staff ensuring drinks were always filled and the wine fantastic.

Guests have described the restaurant as a "class act" with high-quality ingredients, many grown in the lovely garden outside. The stunning Arts & Crafts home has a fascinating back story, and the staff were lovely and accommodating, even devising a special meal for a picky 9-year-old. Dining in the garden patio as the sun set was described as "pure magic." The restaurant is considered the best in Calgary by a self-proclaimed "foodie." Guests have also praised the kind staff, making the visit charming and a place to escape the rigmarole. The chef's menu was well-received, with the staff being accommodating when a dish was not preferred, even quickly preparing an alternative.
