Food was amazing, wine was excellent and the atmosphere was fun. We will go back for sure!!
Good food and great ambiance. It's like a little slice of Europe in Calgary.
this is a classic, great food, fantastic service. Patrice and the staff are all amazing. They treat each customer as if they were the only ones in the room. The food is so well prepared you would think you were in France, Go for any special meal. it will become a memory
A great bistro that transports you out of Calgary and into the heart of France, with unique decor, great service, delicious wines and fantastic food (best pommes frites EVER!). One of the best dining experiences I have ever had!
Absolutely fantastic! I have lived in Calgary all my life and I have noticed this place hundreds of times but never gone in.. I dont know what took me so long! The food is incredible! I highly recommend :)
First time at Fleur de Sel and loved it the food, ambiance and service. Definitely reminds you a real French bistro. Steak au poivre us to die for. Would definitely recommend going on a week day as it is much quieter. Our server (maybe the owner?) was wonderful and very attentive. Might not look like much from the outside, but feels like a trip to Paris inside. Absolument délicieux et je le recommende!

My wife and I love this place. A taste of French culture. The owner seems really nice and defiantly fits the place. A nice place to take your loved one. Try going on a week day for its a tiny place and very busy.
This place is very tiny and very french. Definitely reminded me of a little bistro in Paris. The service is wonderful and they seem to have a lot of regulars. There was a little birthday celebration with disco lights, balloons and music. The food is very expensive and I didn't love all of it. The mussels were great and so was the steak. The tuna and ratatouille were not to my liking. We were stuffed so we didn't try any dessert. I say I like this place because the service was wonderful and the ambiance was great however I think it is too pricey and with so many wonderful places in Calgary with great food I don't know how soon I'd go back.
Pricey, but amazing. I was there with my partner and we ordered the scallops to start and share, he got the ostrich, I got the duck, we got a bottle of their Mel Soleil Chardonnay and shared the flambe for dessert. So overall, a pretty large meal for $250. We went a little crazy. But the food and wine was all AMAZING, the service was lovely, and their motto is, they close when the last guests leave, which happened to be us on thanksgiving, so we left a handsome tip for the waiter (who was very good to us).
At night, the atmosphere is quaint and intimate.
I think what is on the menu also, you can have a grand dinner, or you can have a much more affordable one. you can buy a $19 entree versus a $39 one.
Excellent lunch cassoulet, see picture
Sausage cooked with giant white beans in a wonderful tomato sauce
2 lamb chops grilled and served on top
Excellent bread and olive oil
This.....is my favorite restaurant in Calgary for a number of reasons...
The food is always "as it should be" well cooked, well presented and balanced. Another reason is the quirkiness of the staff here.... I went once and mentioned to the waiter that it was my birthday. As we left, we were walking away from the restaurant and he came running after us (we were a fair distance away from the restaurant by then...) puffing and panting with balloons in hand to give me for my birthday! (Please note, I am neither female or young. So there was no ulterior motive)
Yes, the owner has been known to pick up a bag he tripped over and throw it (as per an old review ) and perhaps shout on the odd occasion... What more could you have in an authentic French bistro?
I have eaten here numerous times and every time, I have left happy with the feeling that I had a great meal that was worth more than what I paid for and cant wait to go back and experience it again.
Embrace it and enjoy the amazing food here! I highly recommend the lamb!
Parisian escape. The bathrooms rock! The food is devine. French dining at its best.
