RC definitely isn't a Michelin-star restaurant but I do have to applaud them for using quality ingredients (YEAY!! for supporting local farmers) and for succeeding in creating an exceptional ambiance to dine in.
I personally like their baked goods. Maybe its the wood-fired oven ...
So for those of you who are interested in what I thought of their dishes here's a summary of them. Don't know how useful they will be because RC does tend to change their menu occasionally.
-I love their flatbread & red lentil hummus dish. My favorite flatbread in town for sure.
-The quiche was good. The crust was perfectly cooked. love their herbed potato hash.
-Fish & Game platter is fun to try but I've had better. Great as an appetizer to share with someone.
-Arctic Char was good. Fish was fresh and well cooked.
-Noble Farm duck breast was yummy - flavors were perfectly balanced
- Beef tenderloin was good too - I'm not a big fan of beef brisket though... so it was just okay for me.
-Wild boar was on the menu last year but don't think it is anymore. I really enjoyed it.
- Baked french toast is my favorite brunch item on the menu. creative and tasty dish.
- farm eggs are also one of my favorite. yes, its just eggs but their scrambled eggs are cooked to perfection every time.
- not a big fan of the freshly baked goods - except for the fact that their croissant uses the house made butter , the danish and the muffins were fresh but boring.
- House made truffles are a must. I love them. Its not too filling and a perfect way to finish your meal.
- Creme brulee (which I prefer) and the ice creams are good too.
- Black current crush and their Wildberry iced tea is my favorite drinks for brunch. Coffee & tea is okay.
RC brings character to the dining community of Calgary and will be seeing more of me in the future!
