This is one of the best restaurants in the west. Make sure you have a reservation as it's just a little hole-in-the-wall. Talk to Cory and tell him you're staying at Claire Estates, and ask for his recommendations for the evening; the menu changes nightly. The wait staff can be a little a snooty, but frankly it's a big part of what makes this an amazing dinning experience. Also be prepared for a hefty bill, but worth every penny.

I don't think the food is that great, but if you're looking for a sophisticated young crown, house music, and a bit of a scene, this is a great spot for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. It also has a great patio in the summer months.

A new hidden and secret gem! Go to the 5th floor of JW Marriott hotel and look for a large man standing by a bookcase. Reservations are highly recommended and be ready to pay, but this is probably the best bar to people watch in all of Alberta.

Parks & Nature

A new beach as of August 2017. Nice sand, cool water for a hot day. A great place to people watch. This wasn't a planned beach, so access is tricky. Park on the 92 ST NW, as close to 98th Ave as possible.

Once the largest mall in the world. There's a great water park, and amusement park on site, as well as a skating rink. Check-out Simons for the latest avant guard styles.
