Tasty food, thoughtfully presented. Small, quirky dining room. Clean bathrooms suggestively decorated! Bizarre and erratic service, but if you're patient, there is a certain charm. Remember Fawlty Towers? The inattentive owner seemed to be tanked and drifted around the room. He told us we could order only wine, even though there was plainly a wall of alcohol bottles. When we finally caught his eye and begged for beer, he offered only one Portuguese beer, even though he had others in the fridge. What a rude and puzzling performance, and yet we found the whole evening pretty entertaining.

The service is warm and friendly. The food is exceptional. Mussels and frites are a must. Each of my family members had great entrées and my vegetarian entrée was delicious. Their surprise Birthday treat was fun and tasteful! Thanks!! I'll be back!

The ambiance at the French restaurant was charming, and we were excited to indulge in some delightful desserts featuring fresh fruit. However, our experience was somewhat tainted as the fruits in our desserts weren't as fresh as we had hoped. The strawberries seemed tired, and the raspberries appeared to be several days old. Despite this hiccup, the overall dining experience was still enjoyable, and we appreciate the effort put into creating such a lovely atmosphere.

We went here for my girlfriends birthday. Iits a cozy place for a romantic diner. Portions were a good size. We left there full. Plenty of parking out front and surrounding area on 4th st. The girlfriend was a happy birthday girl.

We enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at Fleur de Sel. The portion were way bigger than expected as its a French restaurant the lamb dish was excellant as well as my husband's halibut and our sons ratatouille. The appetizers were excellant as well. We had one in the group allergic to garlic and the chef accommodated the menu to her needs. The waitress was funny and lovely. Highly recommend and make sure you check out the bathrooms.

We happened to be in the city and are glad to have stumbled upon Fleur de Sel. The portions are generous, and our favorite appetizers were the mushrooms and the mussels (both with incredibly flavorful sauces). The entrees were exquisite as well, with the ribeye being my favorite. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert, but I’m sure that we would’ve enjoyed them if we did.

★★★

I would give 3.5. Owner is very friendly and nice but food is just ok. Serving bread is not the best quality, airy texture and dry. Steak was not cooking to our request. We requested rare, came out more than medium. Most worst was the fries. Not sure if it was re-fried. It was stiff. Mussels was fresh, sauce is “tasty” if it wasn’t so salty. Overall still a good experience, owner was friendly.

I ve wanted to try this place for like a decade, and it did not disappoint. Went for my 41st on January 28. Great experience! Even the photos I shared with Parisian friends said it looked local to them. We had a fabulous old French waiter. Felt like I was being served by Serge Gainsbourg, lol.

I meant to write this sometime ago because the fantastic experience we had at Flor de Sel for the romantic Valentines dinner was superb. It had been several months since we were at the restaurant, and I am pleased to say the food quality is wonderful, service attentive, and pleasant, and the atmosphere is, as always, charming and reminiscent of a beautiful place in France! For those of us, who are looking for a little bit of Europe here in Calgary, we think Fleur de Sel is a quintessential destination!

The only food that was good were the frites with the steak au poivre. Steak was almost inedible with a terrible sauce. Onion soup was okay but oddly presented (cheese on toast on the side) and the unexpected. Service was friendly, but inconsistently attentive. Had to get up to fetch salt and pepper. Not worth the very expensive prices.

The owner is always drunk and not fun drunk, rude arrogant French man drunk. I hope he s doing okay truly but he should be shut down or at least nice and drunk . He was very rude the bottle of wine we had for the table he was helping himself to it in the back . The food used to be much better . If the service was better maybe it would make up for the overpriced bland food. Sorry Get well

The welcome is not very warm, not a hello when arriving and no words during the service. They even managed to get the order wrong. No, its not good French cuisine and its certainly not good value for money. The 7 small oysters are not worth $27. Not to mention the slice of foie gras presented on a salad leaf and to be enjoyed on industrial baguette bread. The dried wasabi peas that we usually eat as an aperitif have no place on the plate of tuna tataki. In short, if youre looking for a good French restaurant, its not here.

Wonderful experience, we only had time to stop in Calgary for one dinner and were very glad we ended up here. We felt welcomed, received extremely attentive service and the food was fantastic. The mussels were the freshest I ve ever had and all of the food was prepared to perfection. Only wish this was a local spot, we d be regulars!

December 21, 2023

I think the price is expensive for what you get, the food is ok but i was expecting something better, my friend ordered a crepe, was missing the ice cream inside, I told the guy that was missing and he just put ice cream in a cup, anyway in the end my friend decided to eat just the ice cream because the crepe was not good, honestly the taste was like medications, the service is not the best, first time in my life that I have to ask for more water because they dont even pay attention, in the end I paid $200 and I was very disappointed, I will never come back.

The menu impressed with its variety of dishes, and each one was prepared with exceptional skill. I particularly enjoyed the dishes made from local ingredients, which added authenticity and flavor.

Wonderful food and service. My only complaint is the layout of the tables. The tables are too cramped together. I understand utilizing as much space as possible but it does compromise the atmosphere when youre six inches from another table on both sides and can hear other conversations. Otherwise the food is delicuous and the portions are huge. The service is excellent and very aware. Highly recommend.

I haven t been back there for a while because of my business travels and living out of town. But now that I m back in town I will be coming back there all the time. We started with the fish soup, deep rich flavored broth and well balanced as the ultimate fish soup should be. The halibut I had tonight was definitely the best halibut dish I ve ever had in all my world travels. The caper sauce was outstanding!! My friend had the peppercorn steak, which he said was top-notch and one of the best steak meals he s ever had ! This restaurant has only gotten better when I used to visit it on a weekly basis.

Amazing onion soup, lackluster everything else. The fries were heavy with oil, possibly fried twice, yet still dried out. The steak was a decent cut, but I expected better flavour. The ratatouille ravioli was uninspired, lacking any real depth. Server was excellent. Would give it a second shot, but would try different entres. 3.5 stars.

When we first came to this place (pre-COVID), the food was amazing. We went back to this place last weekend and we were quite disappointed. I ordered their rare steak (which is equivalent in terms of price to the steak I had at Vintage) and it came medium. The meat quality was definitely poor and the meat was very tough. For dessert we ordered the profiteroles which came in two...the cost for two small profiteroles was $17 and they werent anything special. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed with my meal at this place. Its too bad as this place was once a little hidden gem.

An old ship going down. Service is just not there, one young guy doing everything while the owner shuffles about, no mask, playing on his computer and yelling orders. The French onion soup was ok, radioactively hot. The cassoulet, the reason I came was a bowl of beans. None of the taste of melted pork fat/rind. The meats that should have been simmering in the cassoulet for 3+hours were sitting on top. Just grilled. I ate 1/2 and left the lamb chop gristle and meat. No one asked any questions. Creme brulee was great. $80 for lunch. I dont think so.

What an amazing experience! First off we had no idea where we were going to eat this evening. As we were walking by this restaurant we were stopped by a random man who handed us $200 telling us supper was on him tonight. My wife and I were baffled as he walked away immediately after handing us $200 cash. We are standing in front of this restaurant so we took it as a sign to enjoy the dining there. We couldn t have chosen better. The food was unbelievable. The wine was incredible. And the best part about it was the staff. Our waitress was so attentive and informative. And the chef visited us on multiple occasions to check in on us. We are from Saskatchewan but I can guarantee you that this will be a routine stop every time we re in Calgary from now on.

Have a bully breed tied up outside who they tell that anyone walking up that he hates Black maybe move your dog off the street if he has an issue with the colour black sounds very strange as I was able to walk right by your dog with him wanting to lick me and I was wearing all black and am darker skinned (Middle Eastern) I have a silimiar breed and not my first remember not bad dogs BUT bad owners. Removed your dog before it bites someone and gets put down or simply don t have it on a busy street tied to a pole!!!

Amazing food. Amazing service. Staff were friendly and attentive without being bothersome. Genuine French atmosphere including the soft music and cuisine. The owner is from Marseille so you cant get more genuine than that. They also had Covid safety protocols in place to ensure guest safety. I recommend this restaurant for a truly special and romantic night out. Update Sept 2022. We returned to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The COVID protocols are no longer in place which helped to make the dining experience more pleasant. They served bread along with a bowl containing olive oil and a nice balsamic vinegar for dipping. Very tasty. When the owner learned that my wife was not tolerant of gluten he brought gluten free bread to the table. It was delicious! To ensure that your dining experience remains a happy one please note the following. Parking along 4th Street before 6 PM on a weekday is NOT advised. ByLaw and the tow trucks are out in full force. You may be able to find parking on the side streets. Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free bread.

This place had NO idea what it was doing; what it was trying to be; who it was trying to serve; nothing. We booked our reservation for Valentines Day after the recent lifting of covid restrictions, and they had no organization or planning on how to space people and serve them safely. The space is smaller than a mouse hole as it is, and they were overbooking and still allowing people inside, crammed like sardines. Any health inspection by Alberta Health would cause an immediate shutdown; this Im certain of. We didnt even get past drink orders before we walked out. From the extremely limited service we had, we could tell it was horrible. No greeting of customers, no explanation of the state of disarray, not even a Thank you for your patience. Its almost like the spectacle of dining disaster that they created was a norm for them. A place like this cannot continue to exist, and shouldnt try. I usually am a very understanding person and accommodating of exceptional circumstances, but this was an utter joke. My girlfriend and I are currently laughing about it as we dine at another nearby restaurant that saved our Valentines Day.

I love French cuisine and was very excited to try this place but left feeling underwhelmed, overcharged, and dissatisfied. The staff was very nice, but our orders came out incorrect, a few times throughout the night. For example, I asked for no bacon on my scallops which they said they could do but it came with it on the dish, which was no big deal. They offered to correct this, and a few moments later they brought out the same dish, and bacon was still attached to one of them. As my request was not to have bacon at all, it felt very cheap that they just removed it rather than fix the mistake of cooking them together in the first place. Not worth the expensive price tag for the quality of food, definitely wont be returning.

Made a reservation on valentine day and waited to be seated, then waited again after being seated and was asked for drinks and we said we were fine no wine but ready to order but the lady said she only take drinks. We waited for 20 mins and the waiter kept bringing in more people and eventually got crowded during covid. I witness him not removing the table cloth once in used and wiped the crumbs off it and then then set some clean plates on top, the water on all of the table are alrighty filled so you cant tell if they changed it. The lady brought out lemon slice for us but you can tell it was sliced a head of time and dried. 20 mins later no one approached us, we walked down and found something else cheaper and nicer food and the waitress greeted us and checked on us. This place not worth your money or the nice clothing everyone was wearing. Its a joke.

I have not tried a French cuisine before, but this place got me hooked to it. The mussels with dijon mustad sauce was fantastic! I will order 5 of those next time. Onion soup was amazing as well, bursting with flavour. The mains were great as well, and the servers were very friendly and attentive. Thank you for the great food and service!

Such a fine and quaint French restaurant - table cloths, linen napkins, great service, nice atmosphere! We arrived on a rather cold night at 6:00 and were offered a choice of seats (near or away from the window). Parking at 6:00 is free and in front of the restaurant! Our Server explained the specials and helped with the main course choice. The Wine was fine and reasonably priced. The Salad the we ordered - Spinach, Pancetta, Goat Cheese and Raspberry Vinaigrette, split between us was very generous and tasted great! We ordered the same main course as the server described it so well; it was to Die for! The Grilled Tenderloins of Ahi Tuna and Beef Bordelaise and the terrific vegetables, done to perfection, remind us of high French Cuisine on our travels in France! We were at Fleur de Sel in December, February 12 and will be back very soon! We highly recommend making reservations as we are certain that people will start to take a big notice to Fleur de Sel, Calgary! Thanks to the great staff!

This is a small restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The drinks were excellent but it was the food that stole the show for us. The prawns and mussels starters were outstanding, and the main meals kept the high standard. The desserts and coffees wrapped up a fantastic evening. We will certainly be back, it was worth the drive in from Okotoks

Excellent food and atmosphere. Would recommend the mussels as a starter - the sauce was amazing The Cassoulet Grille was very filling and the would recommend having the duck confit add on. Other with me tried the Pepper Steak and Basil Chicken dishes. The Duck Anise was a good portion but the sauce is a very strong anise flavour so maybe not for you if you are on the fence about the flavour of anise.

I came in for dinner with a colleague the other night. We happened upon the spot with walking down 4th street. I have been up and down this street many times and eaten at many different restaurants here. This is clearly one of the best. It is very French and the food is wonderful. We started with the scallop appetizer, the scallops were large and perfectly cooked, the accompanying greens and dressing were perfect.

Filet mignon was sorely lacking any kind of seasoning, only flavor it had was a burned charcoal taste from the grill. Frites were on the verge of raw in the middle. No idea how they can have such good reviews and not even get basic food like filet and fries right. Very disappointing meal for the price.

What a fun amazing hole in the wall. We show up for lunch. No reso. Owner is there and apologized because a staff member quite and it is just him in kitchen. Serving. Bar. Everything. You would never know. The food was out of this world. The service was great. It was just him but 10 people there for lunch. It was not slow or cold or anything. We will go back. I ve been in calgary for years and never knew this gem existed. Ps... ask why there is a giant disco ball in the rafters. I want to know.

The food was okay. Dessert was amazing. Our waiter was horrible he would start to ask how we were or if we had any questions then he would literally run away to help another table. His co-worker took over and she was amazing. But to sit and drink everyones waters and not get a refil the whole diner was slightly redicolulous.
