Top Steakhouses in Alberta

Short Ribs at Olive Bistro in Jasper.

Finding this list was a bit of a fluke.

It started as a quick Facebook post while we were camping.

I needed something to post. No time for research. No access to my photo bank. So I copied a question that had well in the Alberta with Kids Facebook group:

“What Alberta restaurant is worth driving HOURS for?” 

and move on with making dinner.

Four hours later, I checked back. Hundreds of comments poured in from Albertans passionately sharing their favourite restaurants, diners, burger joints, bakeries, pizza places, steakhouses, cafes, and hidden gems across the province.

Now, with almost 900 replies, I’ve sorted through the recommendations, counted the repeat favourites, and organized the restaurants Albertans say are worth the drive.

Below are Alberta’s most recommended steak houses gathered from that list. If you want to see everything, check out Alberta’s Best Restaurants, chosen by Albertans!
