March 08, 2017 in Food, Restaurant

What I enjoy most about the restaurant is it's rustic, wood decor; it's a little get-a-way hidden inside the city. River Cafe focuses mainly on Canadian cuisine, using local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients.

The Living Room (Big Taste YYC 2014)

We wanted to revisit the restaurant as our first time there was very memorable. The restaurant itself isn't big and gives you sort of a home feel, hence the name 'Living Room'.
