Planning a trip?

Editor

If you're looking for the best restaurants in Calgary for an upcoming visit, then we've found the spot for you. Locals shouted it out as a must-try place for newbies to the city, who want a top-notch dining experience.

Major Tom is is an award-winning Calgary restaurant, with an unreal view, tasty dishes and premium cocktails.

We turned to the Narcity Canada Facebook page to see what the top food recommendations for visitors to Calgary are, and this popular spot got a few mentions.

The restaurant is set 40 floors high, giving diners an unreal view of the city to enjoy with their meal. The panoramic views of Calgary are especially stunning to see at sunset.

The food and cool atmosphere of this spot has landed it on many rankings and lists, including Canada's 100 Best. On the menu you'll find everything from classics like chicken wings, to more elevated options like caviar.

Main dishes range from $29 to $61, but for a slightly cheaper bill you can visit during the "Golden Hour" when you can get half off bottles of wine and other drink deals.

All in all it's the spot to go for a premium atmosphere, fun cocktails, and quality food. If you're in the city looking for an elegant night out on the town, this is the spot to go.
