This is an astonishingly good eating house. The owner is very visible actually cooking your meal and the menu is varied and imaginative. We ate there on both nights of our stay in Cranbrook and it might just be the best food we had in 5 weeks in Canada.

 

(...) I discovered "Allegra Restaurant" and his Chef Thomas in the beginning of July 2011. The surprise was big since I almost never found such refined cuisine for decades in Canada. Allegra Restaurant in Cranbrook certainly deserves the title as" High Quality Fine Cuisine". (...) The restaurant in itself is classy and warm, small and intimate, a feeling of perfection and a touch of fine European Cuisine reflect upon the cleanness of the place.
Waitress and Chef welcome you from the start and will take care of you all along to make your stay unforgettable. No matter what you will order, the refinement, the taste, the smell of any dish will make you feel eating in one of the greatest restaurant in the world.(...)

Thomas and Ines run the absolutely best restaurant in the Elk Valley. I come to Cranbrook annually on business and I am always on the lookout for the next best restaurant in the area. i have been pleasantly disappointed -- no one has come close to this charming little bistro. (...). Do not miss this culinary oasis amid all the formula eateries on the strip. You'll kick yourself if you do.
