BRIDGETTE BAR’S
GARLIC BREAD
Garlic bread is a heavenly combination of some of life’s
best foods — bread, butter and garlic. And just when
you think it can’t get any better, enter the garlic bread on
Bridgette Bar’s snack menu. It’s one of those dishes you
think about long after you gobble it down and leave the
restaurant (and wish you’d ordered one for a midnight
snack). Each roll is filled with cheese curds and brushed
with garlic butter before being sprinkled generously with
parmesan and chives. It also earned the title of one of
“Where Calgary’s Favourite Dishes” in this year’s Where to
Dine Awards (page 54).

BRIGGS’
NEWF’S POUTINE
The most popular appetizer at Briggs Kitchen and Bar,
the Newf’s Poutine is stacked high with east coast
lobster. A winner of the 2016 Gravy Bowl for Poutine
Week, this dish is a must for poutine lovers and
anyone unable to resist the temptation of a generous
heaping of lobster on crispy fries, topped with Quebec
cheese curds and slathered in lobster cream instead of
traditional gravy. You could easily share this dish, but
you won’t want to (page 58).
PIKAL;
With a well-deserved reputation in Calgary for
exceptional dim sum, Silver Dragon offers the ideal
brunch experience. Make sure you arrive before noon
— the dining room fills up quickly and line-ups are to
be expected. Then take your seat and savour each bite
from the roaming food carts. Try one of their enduring
favourites, the siu mai, a winning combination of juicy,
flavourful pork and shrimp in an open-top dumpling
(page 60).
