The Shoe and Canoe Public House

Hi, great place. I was there for an event, the service was top notch, delicious!

Shoe and canoe was a delight! We went for the birthday experience and it was amazing! I had the arctic char on the house and it was delicious!! The salad was also great with amazing dressing. The service was top notch and the ambiance was superb. Love it! Will come back

From the moment we stepped into Shoe & Canoe the other day, we knew we were in for a treat, but it was our server, Cheryl, who truly elevated our experience to an extraordinary level. Her warmth and enthusiasm were palpable, instantly making us feel welcome and valued. Cheryl was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She provided insightful recommendations that perfectly matched our tastes. What truly set Cheryl apart was her genuine passion for service. She consistently checked in on us, refilling our drinks with a smile and ensuring that our luncheon experience was flawless. It was evident that she took pride in her work, going above and beyond to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. In addition to her stellar service, Cheryl radiated positivity and created a lively rapport with our table, which added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Her attentiveness combined with a joyful demeanor made our luncheon not just a meal, but a memorable experience. As we left Shoe & Canoe, we could not stop talking about the delicious food, but it was Cheryl who truly won our hearts. If you ever find yourself at Shoe & Canoe, do yourself a favor and ask for Cheryl. You won't just have a great meal; you'll enjoy exceptional service that makes dining out a delight! Thank you, Cheryl, for making our lunch so special! We can’t wait to return!

Even though I wasn't a guest at the Delta Hotel downtown, I decided to check out The Shoe and Canoe Public House, and I was so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The service was impressively fast – no long waits for anything! And the food? Absolutely great. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Plus, I really appreciated how clean and well-kept the entire place was. It made for a really pleasant experience. I'd definitely recommend The Shoe and Canoe to anyone looking for a great meal and friendly atmosphere in downtown Calgary, whether you're staying at the hotel or not.

Came here for a late night snack. Bison poutine was excellent and tasty. We also had Texas toast with cheese and eggs. It was different but so delicious with mushrooms. The environment was so cool and great place for meetings. Excellent staff work here too. Will come back for 15 lunch- try something new. This is beside Delta hotel in downtown- thanks you for great service.

For NYE, my friends and I spent our last few hours of 2024 at Shoe and Canoe before we headed to the fireworks on Prince’s Island. I ordered the Cast Away (16), Pesto Gnocchi Pomodoro (24) and the Red Sangria (19). I’ll be the negative out of the way first. The Red Sangria was very large. However, I fully expected a sweet taste as it was their holiday special. But the red wine that was chosen was over powering. It was described as Fruity and Refeshing. I didn’t get that vibe, it was much too rich and overpowering for my taste. I didn’t finish it. As for the cast away, that was amazing. I could have drank 2 more of those. It was creamy, sweet and tropical, exactly as described. Now for the Gnocchi, it was really good! I’m not a huge fan of red sauce, but pair it with pesto and I’m sold. It was a great choice for dinner. If you want protein, it’s optional to add. However I just got the dish as is. I thoroughly enjoyed the high quality ingredients and harmony of flavours. The capers were a great addition and the manchego cheese was delicious. The restaurant is located in the Delta Hotel, and I think this restaurant represents the hotel well. You won’t be disappointed with the flavours here, nor the quality. I can happily say this restaurant lives up to my expectations.

Came here to try the YYC food expo dinner menu. Absolutely delicious and generous portions. Great suggestions by our server for the cute beer flight.

My wife and I had dinner here for Christmas Eve and it was a great choice. First off you can park in the Delta underground parking for free if you check in at the front counter to let them know you are eating at the restaurant. Next, you don't even have to walk outside to get into the restaurant which is great in the winter. As for the restaurant itself, the service was excellent. Very fast and friendly. The atmosphere was also very nice. Finally the food is very good. My wife has the turkey dinner and I had the vegan forager dish and they were both very good. We would definitely go back.
