Housed in a vintage brick-walled building on 1st Street South West, Bar Von Der Fels is a joint venture between head chef Eric Hendry, Thomas Dahlgren, and Will Trow. One of the smallest establishments of its kind in Calgary, the restaurant and bar can fit in no more than 28 guests a time. But don't let its diminutive size fool you, as its kitchen is known to rustle up a spectacular array of modern eats that range from small plates to full-fledged meals. The Truffled Ricotta Gnocchi, Whey-Poached Hasselback Potatoes, and the Smoked Bison Tartare are some of Von Der Fels' signature dishes. Pair them with one of the wines from their extensive drinks menu and you have yourself a perfect evening of dining and unwinding.

The charming Cafe Mediterranean features classic Arabic dishes.
