RGE RD is Canadian Cuisine. Our tastes and dishes are inspired by our country’s fields and forests, our mountains and oceans. Explore the tastes that Western Canada has to offer. We source ingredients and provisions from farms and small-scale producers across Western Canada. Our menu is dictated by the season, and we aim to use every part of every ingredient.
“Incredible. Can't recommend the tasting menu enough - would sacrifice almost anything to budget for seasonal visits for it if I were local. Service was attentive but not overbearing, informative but not preachy. Excellent ingredients make for delicious food, and the talent in this kitchen is top tier.”
“Can’t rave about this place enough! Unbelievable!! We tried the blind tasting - highly recommend!!! There are no words ❤️ The reservation asked if we were celebrating an occasion and when we got there they had a birthday card on the table, signed by all the staff - never seen that before! Definitely went the extra mile all evening!”
“I've been here on other occasions so my expectations are always high. Probably a bit too high. But they meet, or exceed, them every single time! There were four of us there last night and our server Rob was amazing. Dude genuinely loves his job and it shows! The knowledge he has and is excited to share regarding ever item on the menu - both food and liquor - is truly impressive.”
“We made a reservation for this year’s Valentine’s Day dinner and opted for the 8-course menu, which left us thoroughly satisfied. A highlight of the evening was the wagyu Denver carpaccio, which we especially enjoyed. The cod dish was well prepared, though the sauce was slightly heavier than our preference, likely due to the richness of the beef tallow. For the main course, we had anticipated the 60-day dry-aged wagyu beef as indicated, but were instead served a regular beef steak cut. Throughout the meal, we appreciated the thoughtfully curated accompaniments, including palate-cleansing bites such as a raspberry ice cream hors d’oeuvre, as well as the breads and bonbons served between courses. Upon arrival, we checked in about 10 minutes prior to our reservation and were seated approximately 20 minutes later. There was also a delay before our drink order was taken and served, and one of the drinks initially delivered was not what we had ordered. Additionally, we noticed that some tables seated after us received their courses ahead of ours. That said, we understand that Valentine’s Day is an exceptionally busy evening for restaurants, and the minor service delays may have been due to the high volume of guests. Overall, we still had a very enjoyable experience, left satisfied, and look forward to returning to try the à la carte menu in the future.”
“Great experience as always. You can really tell how much thought and effort goes into the menu — everything feels intentional and well executed. The wine pairing is brilliant and adds so much to the overall experience. The only feedback I’d share is around the ventilation on one side of the space — it would be amazing if it could be improved so that clothing in the coat room doesn’t pick up lingering food smells. Overall, we’ll absolutely be back!!”
