Sooo good! We had the 6 course dinner with wine pairing. It was exquisite. Sat on the beautiful patio and toured their kitchens garden. Plating was beautiful, food was rave worthy, wine pairings were perfect and the service was excellent. Worth every dollar.

Booked a special birthday dinner a couple of weeks in advance. Had the chefs tasting menu. Fun unique and delicious dishes along with a shared wine paring (server recommendation). Service was exceptional.Wasnt until we were leaving did we realize we had been their only customers that evening. They kept the restaurant open just for the 4 of us.

I had my wedding at Rouge at the beginning of September 2021. We were on our third wedding re-plan due to covid and were starting from scratch about 2 months out from the wedding date. Rey and the team at Rouge were exceptional to work with. Rey is organized, experienced, and made the whole process as easy as I could have imagined. She helped ease a lot of our stress and made me feel confident that we would finally have a beautiful wedding. On the day of our wedding, Rey and the team were EXCELLENT. Food was amazing, venue was beautiful, staff was professional and helpful and ensured my husband and I were taken care of throughout the day. Everything ran so smoothly and the whole day was completely stress free. I cannot say thank you enough to the whole Rouge team. Would definitely recommend this venue for weddings and other events as well as just for a lovely dinner!

Food was very tasty. Unfortunately a wedding and missing staff made the evening not as smooth as I would have liked. In their defense, the staff were highly apologetic and bent over backwards to try and run things smoothly.

Unbelievable six course dinner. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high quality food. Each course was well thought out and played beautifully!

The food at rouge is unique and delicious! The service is outstanding! Our waitress Rae went above and beyond to ensure a great guest experience with every little detail. From watching her pick fresh mint in their garden for a cocktail… to the last plate on the tasting menu delivered!The tasting menu with pairings is a must!

I didn’t get a chance to try the food, but my family and I went for a tour of the property as a possible venue for our wedding. It was beautiful and the garden was looking wonderful with fresh produce the owner said he uses in the food! Recommend anyone to come here for fine food and great service!

I cannot stress what a wonderful little gem this place is. We were there on the weekend celebrating our 5 year anniversary and went with the Chefs 6 course meal. Absolutely amazing. The staff were excellent and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Belated review, had my wedding reception held here last year, they were super accommodating and allowed us to bring my vintage dishes to serve dinner on and even washed everything for us. Also had a beautiful garden that we took alot of pictures in. Food and service was fab as well. Thank you Rouge!

Wow, what an incredible experience for our anniversary! The food and service was exceptional! We will be back again for sure.

Simply wonderful...from the atmosphere to the service to the food, nothing disappointed in the slightest!We had the tasting menu paired with wine, every selection was the perfect accompaniment for the delicious and beautiful dishes we enjoyed.Perfect choice for that special dinner🥂

We met with friends at this place for lunch. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. we were warmly welcomed by the staff members and we felt good. The food was just great. We loved this place a lot and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We recommend this place to all.

Hands down the best meal I have ever ate. The wild boar belly has ruined my life.... colours no longer exist and everything is grey and tasteless in comparison. I will be back for more as often as possible.

Its really tasty, but its hard to feel like its good value. Maybe Im just a poor boy from the north, but its too pretentious for me. If you like the pomp of fine dining, maybe you would like it more, but its not really for me.

Courtesy of the Rouge restaurant and Global news. We won a fantastic picnic basket. Included in the basket was a salad, wild loin of boar, potatoes and a variety of veggies. A chocolate mousse. Much more. Will go back for a sit down supper

Ive had dinner here and now a wedding reception. Friendly staff and exemplary service. Thanks guys!

I arrive at this superb restaurant many times because I like the good mood that is exist in this restaurant. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and well trained. The service is very efficient. Not to mention, the food you eat is highly distinguished. I visited many times and I was always satisfied. The expense is fair. I highly recommend this place to to everybody.

We had an amazing dinner service was excellent, great flavors, thanks so much Chef Dean Fast look forward to seeing you again soon.

Stopped by here while passing through Calgary with my parents. My local pals had been hyping this place up for awhile, so we thought it would be good to get caught up over dinner and cocktails. Pretty average experience. Drinks were okay and the boar belly was decently done. Maybe they just need to find their stride again post-pandemic. Seemed a little understaffed.

Update: We went back to Rouge for dinner after Ray reached out to us. Ray is simply wonderful.. she made really good recommendations and I loved the wine list. We enjoyed the service and the atmosphere and can’t wait to be back. The garden is lovely needless to say.

We had such an amazing wedding here! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere and service was phenomenal. Great restaurant on the edge of downtown!

My second time here and truly the most wonderful meal. When you take your first bite it’s like your whole soul escapes into some other very happy place! Words here don’t do the culinary art and flavour here any justice. You must go and see for yourself. Everything is fresh and you can truly tell the difference. Thank you for another exceptional supper Rouge!

Absolutely amazing! Exceptional service from Rebecca! FOOD was amazing, perfectly prepared and presented!Wine list is extensive and recommendation for the Bison was perfect.Looking forward to going back!!

The most wonderful tasting menu weve experienced in years! Every dish was delicious and memorable, and the service from Diana was exceptional. Can hardly wait for the next time well dine at Rouge!

Service and food was good. 2 appetizers, 2 mains, 3 drink and 1 dessert came to just under $200. When booking online it asked food allergies, which was disclosed. Also told server we would be sharing everything and also the girlfriends food allergy. Unfortunately, my dish had something she could not eat. It did not however, prevent us from enjoying the experience. It was aight!

Rouge has been our special occasion restaurant for a while. It never ceases to impress (though at a worthy cost). Thank you for hosting our pandemic wedding dinner, and the 1 year anniversary of such as well!!

It was nice to be invited for dinner, and I had high expectations as this location has been on my bucket list for a while. We had the tasting menu. We were all full after, however none of my food was hot when it got to the table. The plates were warm but little of the food. Service was good, but sometimes inconsistent with set standards. Staff were all friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. The location was interesting. Love the separate rooms as it kept the noise level to a minimum. If I could do 3.5 stars I would; I had a good time but honestly the food was not enough to entice me to return.

This is a beautiful restaurant, very cozy as its actually a very old house that was converted. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is AMAZING!! The chefs experience is always different but never ceases to be delicious. Clean French cuisine with a touch of imagination, wonderful wine pairings and a very intimate setting makes this my favorite date night destination.

Nice restaurant with old fashioned cooking! The restaurant is located at the old downtown Calgary. Nice area and nice place, the food was good, tasty and to perfection. The only thing the size was very small. Drinks were overpriced. However, the overall experience was good

Went for our anniversary and had a great service as soon as you step in the door. We were greeted a warm welcome, recommended a nice dish. Would definitely recommend!!!

The food here is excellent. We had a 3 course meal based on ingredients sourced from Alberta and the restaurants own garden. Everything was delicious and the service enhanced the experience. The wine pairings were spot on and the ambiance was unmatched. They had set up a patio for their dining area and watching the sunset through the garden was really something to behold. The music selection matched the environment they were trying to create. The whole experience was top notch. I think this place is great for special occasions or if you want to treat yourself. I am already looking forward to an excuse to come here again

Tried the foie gras brulee, venison, and the pheasant. All were delicious and prepared perfectly. Amazing presentation. Fantastic experience all around and I will definitely be coming back.

Everything is amazing except I dont recommend the fish there. I love the place and everyone that work there. They made the night a memorable experience

The food was great but the service could use some improvement. The staff were friendly but would not explain what dish they were dropping off as part of the tasting menu.

Amazing service which is only over shadowed by the perfect food!

This is the second time I have come here and both times have been amazing. The atmosphere is intimate and classy. Perfect for a romantic date.The food was excellent. I cant remember the last time I had duck that was so perfectly prepared. The wild boar was excellent as well.The service was top notch. We had three different people check in and they were all wonderful.

My boyfriend and I were gifted a $220 GC so we could experience the tasting menu, we were super excited for this experience. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years and fine dining for 5. I understand the pricing of a tasting menu, as well as the quality over quantity. We were a little disappointed by the tasting menu, I didnt understand where the quality matched the price of a $110. A couple pieces of cured salmon, a bite of tofu with 3oz of potato soup, liver pate with crackers, 3 small beef slices, goat cheese and crackers, finished with dessert. We both left hungry. We were unsure who our actual server was during our experience but overall, we did enjoy the ambience of the patio it was exactly what we hoped for. What really left us with bad experience was when we tried paying for our bill. We put our GC and CC on top of the bill fold on the edge of the able and waited for somebody to process it. We watched the table beside us be processed and leave, 15 minutes later the male manager came by and grabbed our GC, he said he would be right back and went inside. We watched him come back outside and walk past our table 3 times to process other tables bills with a machine. Finally, another 10 minutes later he walked over and insincerely apologized for the wait. We were extremely disappointed by this. There were 2 servers and 2 managers serving us all night, walking around and nobody stopped to help us. We always tip %20, but this quickly dropped, we even noticed the sour look on the gentlemens faces when he noticed the low tip afterwards.

Good food but definitely overrated. If youre looking for a higher class meal in calgary, go to Bridgette Bar. Its a bit cheaper and definitely better. I still cant believe I paid 40+ for a meal that was just okay. The ambience also wasnt for me. Some people may like it, just wasnt my style. The food though was my style, it just wasnt that great. Very underwhelmed. Both me and my partner left and said Yea I dont think Ill ever go back there

It’s disappointing that I have to give this review, but our service last night at one of our former favourite restaurants was simply unacceptable!We’ve been patrons of Rouge for the last three years and our past experiences have been nothing less than stellar. Last night, however, was a very different story. Service from the get-go was off the mark. First, our server was unable to properly remove the cork from our bottle of wine, which wasn’t entirely her fault to be honest, as it was obviously dried out from the bottle being stored vertically for an extended period of time. That wouldn’t have been a problem normally, except that her behaviour afterwards was short and pretentious – we don’t need you to explain to us how a decanter works, and we don’t want to have our bottle of expensive French wine “filtered” since you dropped a plethora of dried cork fragments into the bottle due to your inability to open it properly in the first place.A “manager” came by shortly afterward, but her attitude wasn’t much better, so we decided to get up and leave. We love supporting local businesses but won’t be returning to this establishment.

By far the coolest and most authentic restaurant I’ve eaten at in Calgary.

The food from the tasting menu was unbelievably good!! Highly recommend eating at Rouge!!

This is definitely a splurge, but never ceases to impress. The food has always been beautifully presented and tastes great. The menu is creative and in the spring and summer the garden produce is used when possible. Kudos to Chef Paul and his team.

Incredible food. The restaurant is located in a 1800s house which adds to the overall feeling of the experience. 100% recommended

Delicious tasting menu with great wine selection. An exceptional dinning experience from start to finish. Top 10 restaurants in Calgary in my books.

Excellent service and the food was delicious! Highly recommend sitting outside, overlooking the garden

I don’t even know where to start. We went there for our anniversary and tried their 6 course meal paired with wines and it was delicious! The staff was really nice and they did a great job of keeping everyone safe.

Underwhelming experience and a far cry from previous visits. Not sure what exactly has changed but the front of house staff seemed unfriendly and slightly indifferent as to whether you were having a positive experience or not. Wine recommendations were not all that great either.

What an amazing place! True discovery. We couldnt believe we still in Calgary. Delicious food, romantic atmosphere and GREAT service. Definitely coming back! Thank you 😊

The tasting menu was wonderful, amazing atmosphere beautiful presentation, and an incredible dining experience. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, great food. The staff are very friendly and were able to make accommodations for food allergies in our party.

We had to epicurean experience and we had an amazing night. Each of the 6 courses were a tasteful suprise. We took the wine pairing extra and it made the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was professional and friendly. He had a perfect knowledge of all the meals and wines he served us. He told us they change the menu quite often so we will be back for sure to have another experience soon.

I was there on Thursday with someone.We did the tasting menu I wasnt pleased with how my server Cate explained the wines she just brought them over and said this is a medium dry sherry or this is a cembra pinot Nero I would have liked to know more why they are paired with the course . I listened to the wines names and put them in to my phone so I could remember them.When we return I wont do the tasting menu again .

Award winning, Unique, beautiful, authentic restaurant, with tastey ,fresh and specially prepared food .Wonderful,friendly staff make this a unique experience.

The food here is excellent. We had a 3 course meal based on ingredients sourced from Alberta and the restaurants own garden.

5 stars based on execution and service. We started with the charcuterie; it came with some chorizo, which was soooo good. It also comes with foie gras, which was very well done. If you dont want to get the full charcuterie, at least get the foie gras.My main was the halibut. It had a nice sear and the dish is well balanced. Theres a lot of flavours working together beautifully with the fish and its accompaniments. My bf had the lamb; great flavour that wasnt overwhelmed by the dishes other components.We were outside and the ambiance was so lovely. They have lights strung up and the garden is well kept. Overall, a really great and satisfying date night experience!

What a great dinner night with friends. A very old and quaint house from the early 1900s. Peter our server was fantastic.

I have eaten at Rouge a few times over the years and the food and service have always been excellent. We ate there last night for my daughters birthday and everyone was just delighted with their meals. What I love is that every element on the plate receives the same level of care and attention rather than the meat getting all the attention and then the vegetables being a boring afterthought. I had beef tenderloin which was perfect, and the truffled potato croquettes were out of this world. The portion sizes were perfect, allowing us to enjoy a starter and dessert as well, without feeling over full. My starter of shrimp and grits was memorable - I think the worst food Ive eaten in my entire life was encountered on my trip to the southern States, and this dish redeemed my impression of southern cooking. We ate on the patio with a view of their lovely, peaceful garden, complete with a bunny hopping around helping keep the lawn trimmed! A wonderful evening.

The six course chef’s menu was fabulous last night! Every course had delicious fun umami flavours and utilized local vegetables and edible flowers from the Rouge garden. The soup was hands down favourite course. Not only was the plating beautiful, the intricate flavours that kept us guessing was one of the best soups we’ve ever had! Chef Dean Fast did an amazing job making our food beautiful, local and absolutely delicious! The timing between courses was perfect. The service was also amazing! I would really like to acknowledge our server, she brought up our food/drinks several flights of steps, wearing a mask and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about every aspect of our meal. She really added class and atmosphere to our evening. Looking forward to next time!

We had the 6 course chef’ dinner which consisted of extremely well prepared dishes with fascinating and unique details. Every dish was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. The wine parings I understand were unique and perfect. Everything was great.

Always the best of the best fine dining. Even the takeaway meals during Covid were amazing, and as someone who cook and creates for Calgary’s elite I do not say that lightly.

The food was terrific and so was the service. I will go back.

Lovely place, great food, great staff. Came here on a me data hahaha. Great work guys.

Amazing service and staff! We had our wedding here, and couldnt ask for better. They were so attentive to all allergies, the food was incredible, and wine glasses were never empty! Well worth a visit for a meal, or any fancy event.

Each dish was presented very elegantly. Each bite is a new experience of life brought out into each course. The atmosphere was romanticized with a beautiful fire place, with candles inside and modern art of the mountains and streams of Alberta. The building has a rich history as well. Love every minute!

Last night we went to Rouge for a small family birthday. We were seated in a quaint private room. We all had a wonderful time. Service was attentive and the meal was just what we expected from their new Chef de Cuisine Dean Fast. Altogether it was a great night!

Absolutely incredible restaurant!! The waiter was amazing and was so quick to adjust and accomodate to our tables dietary needs. The food was out of this world! The flavours in each dish came together in a beautiful symphony in my mouth. It is also so inspiring that they grow a lot of their own produce that they use in their dishes. Would recommend this place a million times over!

Great food. Great wine. Great service....

I love their philosophy that every plate served should include fresh food grown in their garden.

Nice little celebratory dinner in safe, unrisky environment. Always a nice experience at Rouge.

Had our company Christmas party here. The food was amazing and the staff where great. Especially since I know we can get a little rowdy. Historical building was absolutely stunning.

I always love Tenderloins for my main course and it was perfectly done. They just served it all well and was surprised that it was all superb. I enjoyed this Flourless Chocolate Torte, a must try and the wine selections are vast and their service is superb. Don’t forget to try as well.

Cute little place! Food was good but was a little pricey

Amazing food and ambience. Very classy.

Great lunch menu!

Love love this place the food is to die for

Our first post lockdown dinner. We celebrated with the 6 course tasting menu and wine pairings. Such a treat. I wish there was a bit more protein, as I was still surprisingly hungry after. For context, Im a avg sized woman, with a pretty avg appetite. Regardless, every dish was delicious.

My favorite escape from the world, staff so sweet and the spirits that reside within this historic gem never disappoint to make your experience feel as though you have stepped into another time.

One word... AMAZING!

This is my favorite place in Calgary. The food and the staff are amazing. The building is part of history and a bautiful location.

Dinner was a celebration.Everything was lovely and well presented. Food was good. But portions were wee on lite side.

Our first experience at Rouge this evening. Fantastic food! We chose the Chefs Experience and each of the four courses were very flavourful. The suggested wine pairing with my main course was perfect further enhancing the flavour experience with the lamb and beef short rib.Definetly going back. Soon! Must try other menu items.Sorry, no photos. Check it out yourself!

Enjoyed the wild Alberta wine paired 6 course meal immensely. Cant wait to go back!

Always excellent food, wine pairings and service.

Amazing food

Went back here to celebrate our 20th anniversary! The place looks the same, with great local at hanging around the restaurant. The chef prepared an excellent meal, catering to our new found food insensitivies. We would love to come back here inn the new future do our kids can see the Cross House.

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding

Best French food in the city

I enjoyed dinner this evening with a group of three business colleagues at Rouge. the restaurant is in a converted Victorian style house. The decor and ambiance are very classic without being pretentious. The wait staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Ahh - the food. Absolutely excellent. Most of our party had a beet salad as an entree, and the gnocchi as the main. Both were absolutely delicious. This was one of the most wonderful dining experiences I’ve had in Calgary. It’s a ten min from central city but well worth the trip. Highly recommended.

Sad we couldnt go in, but we experienced ghost voices telling us the colour of the house through our spirit box. Will go back again and order food & spirit box.

Great service, food and atmosphere.

We lucked out with our timing having the restaurant to ourselves for the first half of our meal. It made the dinner feel very private and personal. Everything about our time at Rouge made it an absolute 5 star experience. The food was excellent, service was kind and courteous and the ambiance was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended

Great service, fantastic food, wonderful ambience.

Service was excellent. Dinner largely missed the mark. Ordered 6 course tasting for 110, but I dont think Ill go back for it for a long time.

They have the BEST lamb. Not everywhere can make lamb well so its worth coming just for that.

A wonderful place. With brilliant food and service. What a gem with such a beautiful location as well.

Went here for a birthday dinner and was so happy I did. Truly an amazing place. Incredible food and the most polite and accommodating staff. If the weathers nice enough Id definitely recommend sitting outside; its a gorgeous patio with wedding-style tents and hanging lights. Its a pricey place but worth every penny!

Went for the 4 course halloween meal. Food was amazing, really cool experience too

Beautiful restaurant with great food. So intimate and romantic.

Food with the homey feel, but that pops with flavor. Great location, great service
