  • The Highwood is probably one of the best-kept secrets of the dining scene in Calgary. The Culinary School at SAIT runs the Highwood Dining Room, a live classroom environment where students put their training and skills to work under the guidance and supervision of their instructors. The Culinary School is rated as one of the best in Canada and the Highwood as one of the best restaurants in Calgary. It is first and foremost a classroom so hours are limited to weekdays. The Highwood is open for lunch from Monday to Fridays with 11:30 am and 12 pm seatings and dinner Monday to Thursdays with seatings at 6, 6:30 and 7 p.m. The Highwood is also only open from mid-September to mid-December and then from mid-January to about the end of May, 1st week of June. Reservations are taken in 2 month intervals. Reservations for November and December start around the 3rd week of September. They feature a buffet lunch on Thursdays and getting in on this takes perseverance. I have tried to get a reservation for several years and only succeeded by making sure I started phoning at 8 a.m. on the 1st day of reservations. It is only in recent years that the Highwood has allowed for on-line reservations but Thursday buffet reservations are still restricted to phone-in first; on-line reservations are allowed only after all phone in reservations are cleared. The students are trained in all aspects from being a pastry chef to an executive chef and the food prepared reflects the high standards expected of them. The food is equivalent to what is served in some of the finest commercially run restaurants, the difference is the price; Thursday buffet runs at $25/per person plus GST. Dinner is a 5-course meal for $46 plus GST, gratuities not included. Service is always excellent; what else can you expect when your server is under the scrutiny of their instructor and being graded on how they perform? Lunch is also very reasonably priced, appetizers are $6 and entrees are mostly $12. Parking is a little complicated, the Highwood offers a flat rate parking fee but only in certain lots at SAIT; check the parking information they provide on their website. The noise level in the dining room can be a little loud. The décor is a little dated and hasn't changed in decades but considering the education cuts I expect that spending funds on furniture and décor is not a priority of a culinary program. The dining room has a pleasant bright atmosphere. Food is well worth the visit.
