This is the place to come for a fix of poutine (4 varieties), fondue (cheese, beef, seafood or chocolate), hearty comfort entrees, maple-y delights and a few healthy picks too, if you must. Casual atmosphere, reasonable prices, and lots of interesting little corners for groups of various sizes in this historic house. And brunch without lineups!

The Ship & Anchor serves up a lively mix of beers, food and people. You will see business men drinking next to skater dudes covered in tattoos. Everybody congregates at the Ship at the start and the end of a good night out and then goes there for brunch the next morning. A Calgary staple since way back.
