Staying for a few days solo in kensington this was a great find. Seating is set up around a bar and small private tables. The seats at the bar overlook the chefs at work churning out sophisticated small plate meals on a single cooktop. The meals are creative fusion dishes priced and sized to allow one to sample 2 or 3 if hungry or just one if a light meal will suffice. For example I ordered PEI mussels served with chorizo and potato in a brandy cream broth followed by a duck confit accompanied by savoury pancakes and red current jam. Both of these were excellent but i could easily have ordered another half dozen of the dishes on offer if i had space. The wine list is great, the coffee and dessert are great and the staff are friendly and casual. Furthermore the relaxed atmosphere makes this a good location for meeting someone if you happen to be single. Don't miss a visit to the winebar if you are visiting Calgary.
