After suffering water damage from a storm on June 5, Calgary's Tribune Restaurant was forced to close for repairs. Rain seeped in through the roof causing a large overhanging bulkhead to fall directly onto the bar. The downstairs area and dining room also sustained significant damage from the storm.

Fortunately, the space has now re-opened with a kitchen pushing full steam ahead to make up for lost time this summer. You can enjoy their same delicious menu, courtesy of chef Andrew Keen, and a well-oiled dining room overseen by new General Manager Francois Gaulin.

When the British think of newspapers, they sometimes think of food: "chips" (because you know how they hate the French). When Calgarians think of newspapers, they probably don't think of the Calgary Tribune (unless they're very, very old).

However, when they think of the Tribune, they must think of food: contemporary swank with fancy chips: "frites" (because we like the French). Tribune, housed in a historic site, offers double-Windsor-knot wearers pen bought meals in aesthetically impressive packages of amped up sumptuous standard fare.

The dinner menu features chicken with tarragon-citrus marinade (23.91), New York Steak ($39.71), or red deer chop ($54.23). I find it a bit strange that they list their prices with odd change at the end, but I guess those .71 cents eventually add up.
