Bar Von der Fels - West Hillhurst

Absolutely unreal as always, thank you to the Von Der Fels team for making it such a special night for us

When the food is so good you forget to take a group photo. Finally made it to @vonderfels with @its_lmjf @ariacamie for one of the best dinners of my life The nice thing about eating with friends and sharing is that you can order more! [1] Sausage Stuffed Morels with fresh peas and a poached egg: this was so fresh and had the right balance of salt and umami. The egg was perfect and soft [2] Tempura Green Tomato Mortadella sandwiches: the tomato was nice and firm and a bit tart, the mortadella was salty and smooth, and the tempura crust was crispy and light [3] Wild Squid with haskap aguachile: the most perectly cooked squid I have ever had. So tender, and the tempura tentacles were crispy and chewy and light. The aguachile was the best part sweet with a hint of spice, and roasted tomatoes and cucumber for freshness [4] Miso Sablefish with tempura , artichokes, and matsutake beurre blanc: I will dream about this dish for a long time. The sablefish was flaky and moist with a crispy crust, the prawns were light and stayed crispy, and we nearly drank the sauce [5] Ribeye with armanagc peppercorn sauce: I am so glad I added this after wondering if we had enough food. A perfect medium rare, the steak melted in my mouth and I could have drunk the gravy [6] Ginger Yuzu Panacotta with Rhubarb Granita this was a surprisingly light dessert and the perfect end to our meal. The panacotta was smooth and creamy and was balanced well the rhubarb granita I wish we could eat here again but we will definitely follow these chefs to their next place!

Best food in Calgary! So sad to see it close! We'll miss you!
