Bow Valley Ranche is located off the beaten track, right in Fish Creek Provincial Park. Don't make the same mistakes we did attempting to find this place. There's only one way to get there by car (don't trust GPS!). For some reason, certain areas of the park are closed off so you'll get stuck if you attempt to drive through it. Bike there instead. ;)
The outside is beautiful. The house where Bow Valley Ranche resides is rustic, homely and quaint. It literally feels like you're eating in someone's cabin, albeit a fancy one. Outside fence is super cute. No bicycles and no dogs in case you can't interpret those mini signs.
We were seated beside the fire. Soothing to say the least. Couple stuffed animal heads round up the decor. A little history on their menu. Cool how it's etched in. Brunch menu is short and sweet. Couple appetizers and then entrees. Their specialty is on local wild game. Pricey.
- Stuffed french toast ($17.00)
- Elk and asparagus ($21.00)
- 2x Game meat burger ($23.00)
- Sparks Farms eggs benedict ($20.00)
This is fancy brunch and while everything was good, I wouldn't trouble yourself to come all the way out here. It was worth trying once but the price point will likely prevent me from coming back anytime soon. Plus, so many other brunch places in Calgary to try.
