We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Osteria Chef's Table. Opted for a Limoncello Spritz before dinner. Very refreshing. Service was fantastic. I did find that the Tiramisu was a bit filling. My husband enjoyed a 20 year old Port - very nice. Really appreciated having the removable signs for parking.

Quality food, a nice environment, and friendly service make this the best hotspot in Calgary. The soup base(Satay and kimchiSoyMilk) perfectly complements the Alberta beef, which is expertly cut and thoughtfully prepared. The vegetables are fresh, and the house-made herbal tea and imported cider create a perfect dining experience for our hotspot-loving dad. We had a wonderful Father's Day dinner. Thank you for everything! You can feel the passion behind running this business, which offers a quality Hong Kong dining experience that pairs beautifully with the famous Alberta beef. It was an exceptional outing in the city and definitely worth indulging the family for special occasions. 💝

What a treasure Purlieu is. Our foursome all enjoyed our meals. Two were very pleased with the Cod which was an offering not on the menu. They declared it to be the best cod they’d ever had. The pork tenderloin, another specialty not on the menu, was delicious, as well. Our Steak Frites fan was not disappointed either. The Calamari enjoyed at the beginning of our meal was so light and tasty. We finished with the Crème Brûlée. Wonderful! We look forward to our next visit.
