Set against the scenic backdrop of Spruce Meadows, Foxtrot brings fire, smoke, and refined flavor to Calgary’s south side. The menu celebrates wood-grilled cooking with dishes like Bison Ragu Pappardelle, King Salmon with charred corn and feta purée, and a Signature Rotisserie Chicken finished with soy-butter glaze and crispy potato pavé.
The cocktail list is just as polished. Try the Smoke Show Old Fashioned or the Spruce Meadows Spritz and settle in for an evening that feels effortlessly elevated. For something lighter, Café Foxtrot next door offers pastries, espresso, and a dog-friendly patio perfect for a daytime visit.
