This longstanding upscale fusion restaurant combines Mediterranean, Latin and Asian influence into an inventive gourmet menu. For Valentine’s Day 2017, Chef Rogelio Herrera has created a sumptuous six-course tasting menu for $85 per person. Start things off with hummus and za’atar spiced bread before diving into a savoury tomatoes and goats cheese appetizer, followed by lobster ravioli. The main courses of the meal consist of arctic char and beef tenderloin. For dessert, indulge in a rich dark chocolate brownie served alongside chocolate gelato, marinated strawberries, vanilla anglaise and pistachio merengue. Call 403-287-9255 to make reservations.
Alloy’s globally inspired main dishes feature fresh and delicious ingredients, and chef Rogelio Herrera really plays with the rich stuff in his appetizer menu, where a little goes a long way. Try the crispy pork belly with maple mustard, truffle gnocchi or the lobster tempura with tangy lime aioli.
