My final night, of two nights, in Calgary was spent at Market on 17th. It was ranked as one of the top restaurants in Canada in 2014, on Vacay Canada, and I agree with their assessment this day. Forgot my camera unfortunately.
I started with their market soup of foraged mushrooms with a mushroom pastry tart, which was delicious and creamy. For a main I had the Pork Royale, which was local pork cooked and deboned, mixed with foie gras and shaved truffles stuffed in a sausage case. With that was cheese curd mashed potatoes, brocolini, carrot salad with a citrus sauce, and a pork reduction around everything. It didn't look large enough when it was served to me but I was feeling very full afterwards. Not full enough to not have three house made chocolates though: burnt caramel, hazelnut, and maple. The chocolate outsides was done using a marbling technique using different colours.
The whole meal was a great way to end my stay in Calgary. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.
