The Bank & Baron

125 8 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB T2P 1B4

Nothing says business lunch like gathering with clients and colleagues in a former bank building. The Bank & Baron is a chic yet disarming venue in which to discuss business over drinks and an uptown pub-grub menu. As an appetizer, try the duck confit poutine and for mains, consider the wagyu burger or the pan-seared Arctic char.

When making an impression is the aim, make a reservation at Blink on Stephen Avenue Walk. An elegant spot serving fine Canadian cuisine with an emphasis on local meat and produce as well as Canadian seafood, the restaurant is located in a fine old historic building that makes good use of exposed brick and sandstone.
