1225 B Cranbrook St N, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3S6, Canada
Fine Mediterranean cuisine in an open kitchen setting.
Arrived with no reservation. They were able to accomadate me. Ordered the large steak. It was cooked exactly as requested. Super deliscious. Attentive service. Highly recommend.
My favorite place in Cranbrook and it never, ever disappoints. Thank you as always for having us and we’ll see you again next time we’re in town.
Delicious and quick. The bread they brought out first was delectable. Each dish was beautiful, fresh, and scrumptious. The desserts were works of art. I just wish I came in hungrier.
My husband and I decided to go for a date night. We both have lived here locally our whole lives and had never gone into Allegra but always heard such great feedback, so we gave it a go. Wow… everything was phenomenal. Service was professionally friendly. 🙂
I truly enjoyed the meal, the hospitality and the atmosphere. The Ahi Tuna steak was made to perfection, with balanced spices, flavour and texture. The affogato for desert was a great choice. The presentation on plating was appealing to the eye. A great dinner experience!
Very tasty food, nice selection. Great service and relaxing ambience. The Mediterranean background music is very soothing. The presentation and flavor of the cheesecake was next level! The majority of the seating is in the back, which has very little natural light.
Just an amazing place to eat. You will need a reservation as this is a small restaurant with amazing food. The tomato bisque was delicious and hot. It was gin infused which gave it a bit of a tang. The smoked duck appetizer was very subtle but had a definite smoke flavour. The jam it came with was delicious and really added some sweetness. The pork was tender, nicely cooked, and had an amazing mushroom sauce. The roasted vegetables had some crisp. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sauce didn't hide the beef flavour but did add flavour. The cheesecake had a delicate creamy texture and was the second best I have had in a restaurant. My wife really enjoyed the baked meringue.
TLDR: fantastic food at a reasonable price, great presentation, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. I came in as a single diner without a reservation, I was given a friendly greeting and was seated at their bar. It was a comfortable seat, though the height of the bar was much closer to my face than the average table would have been. All the better to shovel the fantastic food into my mouth though! I ordered the Caesar salad starter, which they milled fresh cracked pepper onto, it was a very well balanced homemade dressing, lovely. For my entree I had the lobster and crab ravioli with the cream pesto sauce and balsamic glaze. With milled pepper and fresh grated parmesan, this dish had me dancing in my seat. Delicious. The presentation and quality of the food is well worth the reasonable price in my opinion. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Amazing food, and excellent service. Best restaurant in Cranbrook. Some amazing appetizers!
Incredible food. Fantastic service.
Excellent meal! Best restaurant in Cranbrook for fine dining.
Food was fab. Service great. As always. We ll be back.. Parking: Highly Recommended.
Allegra hits it out of the park on every category! Our new favourite place to go in Cranbrook. Congrats on such an amazing offering Thomas, Innes and Family!
Amazing food and service as we celebrated our 27 anniversary. Always love visiting Allegra
The best ribeye that I ve ever had
I will go back next time I am in this area The food was delicious I am from France and the chef is a master at presentation and the quality and the taste can t be beat Very friendly staff A must go
Gaspacho was amazing. Seafood tortellini is just ok and a small portion.
The food is always absolutely excellent. Tons of flavor and reasonable prices. Definitely recommend stopping here for dinner. Food : 5/5

Food here was absolutely delicious.
Just had the most amazing chicken piccata. I have visited Allegra many times as my go to date night restaurant and I will say tonight will be 100% successful date Highly recommend this as your next adventurous night.
My fave restaurant!! Never had less than exceptional here in the many times we have come.
Food and service were exceptional! Melanie was an amazing hostess and her suggestions were wonderful. Thanks for making our anniversary a very special occasion. Lyn and Cheryl Church
Never have had a bad experience at Allegra. Food and service are top notch Wheelchair accessibility: They always seem to make it work Food : 5/5 |
Great food and service! Was nice to have a meal, not feeling like still in Dinktown
Went to Allegra for the first time last night! Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and GREAT food! From where I sat I even had a great view of the Mountains! Left there very full and satisfied after enjoying three delicious courses! Will definitely be going back! Parking: Plenty of free parking in the parking lot. Kid-friendliness: They have a change table in the ladies restroom.
Becca was an amazing server and the food was INCREDIBLE Vegetarian options: I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing Food : 5/5 |
Great steak, perfectly cooked. If youre looking for a very good restaurant with high quality food then this is it. Food
Amazing food!
Recently held a work event here. the food, the service and the atmosphere was unbelievable, highly recommend Allegra!
Top notch restaurant. Food and service quality is as good as it gets.
Its a pleasant place to eat with a variety of choices. I had the spaghetti. I prefer adente noodles, and these were not. Otherwise, tasty.
Beautifully presented. Amazing flavors. My new favorite in town.
Really good service and even better food. We had salmon and tenderloin and they were both perfectly prepared.
Waitress was friendly and prompt. Meal, appetizer and soup was amazing. Definitely going again! Parking: Enough parking for the restaurant
Surprised I hadn t found this place on previous trips Generous portions, and excellent price considering the quality of the ingredients and obvious care to detail. Staff were very friendly and engaging, will definitely be coming again!
Easily the best fine dining experience I have had in quite some time. Relaxed atmosphere. Kind, swift service (Lana was a delight), and every single bite was divine. Ordered a couple starters, soup and salad, pork medalians and penne Nepali and all of it was 5 star. Ive paid more for a meal that wasnt as good. Will be back for sure.
Best food in Cranbrook.
Great friendly service and the food was fantastic. Lots of gluten free options
Everything was great with our experience.
The food and service here is always incredible. I have not had a meal that I didn t love- Best food in Cranbrook in my opinion. Every time we come here we are blown away by the experience. If you are looking for somewhere in town to go for dinner, this is definitely it.
Amazing food and amazing service!!
This was a nice place and we were optimistic given the reviews by locals. We had the roasted butternut squash ravioli and the orange peppered salmon fillet. The food was okay but not particularly exciting.
Great service, great atmosphere, and the Ahi Tuna was amazing. Every time I come here I leave satisfied.
We are a party of 17 (lady golfers from BC and ON on a golf trip organized by WOMEN WHO GOLF - SMASHING THE GRASS CEILING). We had an extensive set menu catered for us. My choices - Mediterranean crab cakes, Chicken with spaghetti and dessert (home made meringue with ice cream snd berries sauce.). I cleaned out the plates. Food were tasty and fresh ingredients were used. All the staff are very polite and pleasant. I will be eating in this restaurant again, when I am in Cranbrook and its neighbouring towns.
Reservation HIGHLY recommend even on a Wednesday at 6 we got the only table available. Understandable everything is so perfect Food
Delicious exquisite food. Fancy and perfect for date night. Not much else like this in Cranbrook so it was a real treat ! The sauce on my pork was incredible. Just don t make the mistake we did and bring your kids we didn t research at all and just showed up. They didn t even have small cups for our 3+5 year old and no kid size meals at all! lol. I was stressed out the whole time for fear our kids would ruin someone s nice evening out or break their cups. This is NOT meant to be a negative review. Just a warning to other people. I m sure kids 8-10 and up would be just fine. Kid-friendliness: not kid friendly
Absolutely amazing place. Will always be my recommendation to anyone looking for amazing food, service and atmosphere
A lovely, elegant spot to spend our 15th anniversary. Food was fantastic. The service was perfect! Only positive things to say. Well done
My friend ordered the shrimp and clam pasta dish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and he ate the whole dish after having the house salad. I ordered the Mediterranean salad & the roast duck. Excellent! The Shiraz wine was superb and the perfect compliment. Highly recommended.
Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and the best damn Gelato in cranbrook!
Its been quite awhile since we ate a Allegra but we will be back soon. The experience was great from start to finish.
Perhaps the Best Restaurant in the City!
This place is absolutely incredible! The service we had was exceptional. The food was perfect and so were the portions! The location is tucked away and easy to drive by but I can guarantee that if you go, you will love it. Very intimate yet welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to the entire team and the excellent chef!
Anita gave us amazing service, as always. The food here never disappoints. Great value and the atmosphere is cozy, casual, and perfect for dinner conversation. We will be back. Food
We will go back was a great evening there!
Very tasty, great service and the cozy ambiance added to the charm. Do recommend.
Always delicious. Great value in fine dining.
The sauces are so amazing. I always try to reproduce them but am not successful
Amazing food, amazing service, everything is always perfect
Outstanding! The kind of food that makes you reconsider life.. an eye opener as to what is possible to do in the kitchen! Absolutely amazing and I will return..
All of us expected the food to be more flavorful. It seemed bland for Mediterranean. Food was edible, nothing wrong that way. Presentation was good except for The Chicken tajine. the best example of what not to order. We expected something exciting on our tongue. We even looked up a traditional tajane online and the recipes called for what we had originally expected.Service was ok. Waitress was not very proactive.
High quality food & service at great prices!
Different dishes, smaller menu but everything was delicious! The dessert was amazing and some interesting drinks. Not too bad of prices. Worth what they charge. Hostest and waitress very nice.
Very good food and service. Generous portions. Will return.
Thanks for a great experience, folks! Any restaurant has two main assets - their food, and their staff. Ill start with the staff. In a word, wonderful. Attentive but not intrusive, friendly, fast, and perfectly accommodating. The food is superb. Steaks cooked to perfection. Mile high flame in the saganaki (ok, maybe not a mile, but it was spectacular). Duck wasnt overcooked. Perfect amount of seasonings in everything. Vegetables fresh and flavourful. The restaurant is small and I expected to hear every word from other tables, but I was pleasantly surprised that voices dont seem to carry. The music isnt overly loud either, so our party didnt have to yell to hear each other. I cant come up with anything to suggest for improvement. Its clean and has plenty of parking.
We walked in without a reservation and took the four seats left at the bar. We are so glad we did. The two waitresses were so friendly and accommodating. Thomas the owner and cook made our amazing meals in this quaint restaurant setting. A must when travelling to Cranbrook, BC. Don t forget to pick up some of Thomas homemade products to go.
Amazing food and service
Wow, the best meal ever. We didn t want this dining experience to end! From the house made blue cheese dressing on the salad, the white asparagus with the daily delish shrimp special to the house made dessert. Chef Thomas you are incredibly talented! Cute decor, friendly servers and the oh my the food!!! If only I lived in Cranbrook so I could enjoy more often!
Solid 5 stars every time you go. Best cuisine in Cranbrook. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the talent of the chef. You cant go wrong here.
Food was excellent, service was friendly
Excellent food at very reasonable Price! What a Gem in Cranbrook.
Lovely, comfortable and you can taste the love in each dish! Thomas graciously accommodates my husbands special request of an item no longer on the menu. If you are looking for consistent quality food, service, and atmosphere you will undoubtably find it at Allegra!
Best food in Cranbrook easily.
Amazing food cooked to order. Small cozy restaurant better to book in advance. You wont be disappointed. Dietary restrictions: No problem with gluten free options. Still amazingly delicious
This quaint restaurant is so intimate and pretty. It was such a nice treat to walk into a restaurant and have water sitting on your table. Service was friendly efficient and intuitive. Food was excellent such great taste and if you are lucky you can buy their special bread. Highly recommend for a couples night out. Very special.
Have come many times. Great food. Try the flaming saganaki
Was alright. Didnt quite hit expectations...
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner celebrating my brother and sister-in-laws anniversary while we were vacationing near Cranbrook. Food and service were both fantastic. Crab and lobster raviolis are a must, my husband enjoyed the special which was a smoked brisket. Its a small venue so reservations are recommended. We will definitely be back.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere, good service, beautiful experience, Cranbrooks hidden gem, highly recommend!!!
Absolutely delicious food! Fresh and beautifully presented. Good service and wonderful atmosphere.
The food and the service was great. The pastas could be greater portions for the price. Otherwise, I would highly recommend going there for whatever occasion it may be. We will be back.
Staff was wonderful! Kind, smiling. The food was delicious
Wonderful small restaurant with great food and excellent service.
Always fresh and delicious food and great service. Highly recommend Allegra Restaurant but make sure you make a reservation!
Very friendly prompt service, wonderful atmosphere and food was super delicious. We were with a large group and they were very accommodating.
Allegre, is a fantastic little restaurant, easily one of the best in Cranbook or Kimberley. The servers are always attentive and polite, and the food Thomas, and his staff serve is extremely delicious every time.
Had our work Christmas dinner here, great food, great service. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommended.
Food and service was excellent for our late Valentines dinner!
Allegra is a hidden Gem. Always so delicious and fresh. You will not be disappointed!!
Hands down the finest dining in Cranbrook. Love
Amazing food, great service.
Busy spot, get a reservation or ask to sit at the bar, we did, tried a variety of appetizers and werent disappointed. Food was excellent.
Outstanding dining. Dishes are innovative, exceptionally well prepared, very flavorful. Excellent price for the selection of generous, top quality food. You can see why it is, and deserves to be the top spot. Great experience (ps Candied salmon shrimp fettucine innovative and delicious)
The best restaurant in the Kootenays !
lovely little place. great service. tasty food!!
A very nice restaurant. Wonderful food. Ill go again.
Went as guests. Very nice food
This place is a gem. Easily one of the best dinners in this area.
Great food. Friendly staff
Good fair. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Portion sizes are on the smaller side.
Fabulous food and presentation.
There are new items on the menu. I tried the beef striploin steak topped with a coffee & maple butter and a touch of au jus. This dish is absolutely phenomenal! Every bite dances on your taste buds. I would have it every day for the rest of my life if I could. Our server Rhonda was so great. Very knowledgeable and attentive. She definitely added to the experience!
Been meaning to come here for a long time and finally did. All I can say is wow. Exceptional dishes at a reasonable price for what you get. I highly recommend the Arctic char followed by the chocolate mousse for dessert. Will be regulars now.
We had the most wonderful dinner for our anniversary May 15th. We ordered online then picked up a feast! Candles and champagne added the ambiance, Thomas and staff supplied a magnificent dinner I recommend this way to celebrate special evenings any time of the year! Thank you Thomas! Brian and Gladys Laing
A fine little fine dining experience hidden away in the corner of mildly reputable mall. Attentive staff, good tasting food, served in a comfortable environment. A touch bourgeois, in an inoffensive way.
Very disappointed as of not being child friendly. We were on a holiday and looked up the restaurants in the area and this one popped up, so decided to go with it. When entered at just after 5 the restaurant was still empty and we were seated at our table with our little man, who was provide a high chair. When getting the menu I enquired about what they had for the little man and I was told by the waiter we do not cater kids, we only cater them by providing them with a high chair . If your not kid friendly, say it put a sticker on the door or a note on your website. But if you went trough the trouble of buying high chairs, how hard is it then to provide a kid with one scoop of spagetti and some saus.
EXCELLENT, everything was great!
Great food, will definitely come back. Steak, pasta, salad, and cheesecake were all good! So was the duck.
The best place to eat in the Kootenays! Best caesar salad of my life. Came back for second night in a row. Today was even better than yesterday! Food was incredible. Service was top notch and very friendly. Cant wait to go there again next trip. Put this place on your bucket list for sure.
Very cute decor. Unfortunately there was a small hair in our butter and the bread was stale. The smoked duck appetizer was sub-par as it was a bit tough. We ordered a tuna steak and lamb dishes. The tuna was cooked and flavoured well. It was on a bed of rice that was far too big and lacking flavour. It was also topped with fried tortilla pieces that were oily and did nothing for the dish. The lamb was the best part of the meal. It had a delicious crust on it and was nice and tender. It also came with fried mashed potatoes bites that were seasoned perfectly and fluffy. The rest of the vegetables were over cooked and under flavoured. The sauce was a bit sweet and there was too much of it. The toblerone mousse at the end had a rich chocolate flavour and the whipped cream was nice, though I didnt get much of the toblerone coming through. The service was fine. Not overly welcoming, but they were attentive. All-in-all I would rate a 2.5 out of 5.
Very good food and service! Price point is a little higher than elsewhere in Cranbrook, but fits the dining experience. A nice treat!
Such an amazing experience. Allegra had an amazing atmosphere, and nice interior feel. The service was great, and the food was even better. I highly recommend going to Allegra
Food amazing, wine delicious, service perfection.
Horrible service 3 appys forgot.. FOOD was subpar at best. Risotto was crunchy... Dirty glasses served... Pop was absolutely flat... Do not recommend..
Excellent food and service. Not cheap but well worth the money for those special occasions...
Food is amazing. We have been to the Allegra a few times and everytime its amazing!
This was a delightful experience; -- the food was scrumptious in taste; colourful in how it was presented; and plentiful in proportions placed before us on the plate .... The service as well was pleasing but not intrusive .. and added to the experience itself ....
Best food around
Always great food and service but...I made a Valentines reservation by phone.Upon arrival there was no record.When the frustrated waitress approached the owner he basically implied he didn t believe me and shrugged his shoulders!We left humiliated and embarrassed.
Amazingly delicious food.
Such a wonderful experience with incredible food that was unlike anything we ve ever tasted! We highly recommend
This was incredible. The food was incredible ... Fresh local morels with perfectly cooked lamb dish. I highly recommend this little hidden gem
Fantastic food and service. Nice treatment. A must visit restaurant when in town. Book a table as the restaurant is relatively small.
Absolutely delicious food. Allegra provided catering for our wedding. Received compliments from almost guest that the food was outstanding. Most of the food and sauces were made from scratch and gluten-free, it was a real big hit.
Excellent and imaginative menu. A bit small, but this results in attentive service.
Amazing food, excellent service. Reasonably priced for the quality.
This had fantastic food. I was unsure that it was rated so good just because it was compared to other restaurants in Cranbrook; but if you compared it to fine dining in Calgary it would line up with the best. Too bad it is small, but I guess it makes it feel more quaint and attention to detail is good. Another down side is that they leased a spot in an old strip mall, so the facilities is not too notch. I liked that you could look at the kitchen and thank the chef for the best meals ever! It is very Italian/Mediterranean, so dont eat here if you think mushrooms on a burger are too adventurous...
Clean tasty
A huge thank you for making my parents 40th anniversary dinner a special one! They said their meals were fantastic, and they loved the chocolate mousse and champagne! Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal in Cranbrook. Thanks again!
Pricey but very good food.
we were there saturday sept 21 for parents 50th, most of the food and service was good. But we had the texas longhorn steaks boasting how the taste would be better, unfortunatly we had sirloin and tenderloin that were tough and chewie. Expected much better for the price
Great food. And service.
Quality food and top notch service
Dont judge a book by its cover
Allegra is always a safe bet for top dining in Cranbrook. I have never had a disappointing meal.
Since there is no 1/2 star I will recognize that Allegra is a location that serves food and give them 1 star. We had a reservation for Nov 29, 2019 and arrived on time. Unfortunately the restaurant was not aware of the reservation. That was just the beginning as we entered we observed a large group of 30+ folks already at what had been set up as a group table. This group filled most of the area available. This also left 2 tables for other guests adjacent to the large group and both tables were totally unsuitable for a quiet dinner for our family. Contrary to their website this location is not suited for groups unless they reserve what is basically a small location. Even without a noisy group party this restaurant has zero ambiance and we woul not venture there again. There are many fine restaurants in Cranbrook but this is not one ot them.
Fancy place. Food is very good. Very small and intimate.
Wonderful dinner with friends...great food and great service.
Fancy food at an affordable price
Very tasty.
The food was Amazing. The service was excellent. We loved it. A great experience!
Best food in Cranbrook. Get there early or make a reservation. Not alot of seats, but terrific food.
Not bad but nothing special
I have never had one dish that tasted bad here! I am a regular visitor and has almost tried every dish on their menus.
Stake was massing n the sauses the fellow is a genius
Small, very courteous staff, Mediterranean food, always a pleasure
A fine dining experience with exceptional service by Haley....OUTSTANDING....This restaurant is a real jewel.I highly recommend!
Excellent in both food and services.
Allegra is a must stop for dinner. Chef Thomas and his team serve a beautifully crafted dinner and evening each and every time.
The food was tasty and presented beautifully. The staff was courteous and attentive but as the restaurant became busier it took more time for staff to attend to our needs.
Nice place and excellent quality food. Friendly service
Small cozy dining place, with great service and superb food. This is a must visit when in Cranbrook.
Everything was absolutely phenomenal and exceeded our expectations. From the main course to the wine to the dessert and the service top notch. Our waitress was not just very attentive but funny and charismatic. Must check this place out. A hidden gem in Cranbrook!
Amazing food and service. Thank you.
Very original menu that combines amazing flavors. Completely enjoyed all our delectable selections and would recommend this place. They could use an update to their cocktail menu as I could not get a bourbon sour but overall that did not deter from an amazing meal.
We visit Allegra on special occasions. We have never been disappointed and really enjoy their incredible food. From plating to taste everything is high end.
Absolutely amazing food, made with such fresh seasonal produce. I often eat out with a vegetarian and they love the vegetarian options here. I had the Smoked duck breast with blueberry fig relish appetizer which was done perfectly, for my main I had Baked black tiger prawns with bittersweet chocolate In a Sherry, garlic and ginger sauce served with Dauphine potatoes and vegetables. It was an absolutely amazing dish. The chocolate and prawns paired very well. It had a tiny bit of heat which was very nice on the pallet. For dessert I had the cheese cake which was so light and fluffy with fresh raspberries. The cocktails are delicious as well.
Great food and great service
Good food and great service
Always enjoying eating at this restaurant.
Been here 5 times and everytime it has been excellent
Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Napoli chicken penne and Braised Beef ravioli was superb! Great service
Great food, wonderful service, reasonable prices! A hidden gem in cranbrook
Wonderful food! Didn t have a reservation so the great staff seated us at the bar, got us started right away. A full restaurant and they were still able to serve our food quickly in next to no time, and it was simply amazing. Great fresh quality food, excellent preparation! The unique breads to start was a pleasant plus!
Excellent food at surprisingly reasonable price.
Such great food!
Lovely little restaurant! Top quality food served in cozy, upscale setting. Loved the smoked duck appetizer!
My wife and I went here for our anniversary and found the space waayyy too small with no room for intimacy at all. I ordered the lamb which must have been a amputee victim calculating the number of pieces I got and when I saw it was far too rare, the chef gave a snotty turned up nose at it and then seared the thing so it was burnt on the outside and still raw in the middle. NOT IMPRESSED! We havent been back since and wont be. No customer deserves to be disrespected like that.
Great food eat there all the time
Great tasting, reasonably priced meals, with great service.
Awesome food!!
Great service and the food was amazing, so many layers of flavor!
A very nice meal, well prepared and presented by the wonderful staff at Allegra. Thank you!
Best food in town. Took my dear friend for her birthday dinner and we both are in love with the service and outstanding meal. So so good.
The cozy atmosphere and down-to-earth staff are a mirror image of the divine, mouthwatering, excellent food. I feel like I should be paying double the price for the food Im getting. The unassuming restaurant front just adds to the overall feel of the place and all in all, an amazing place to eat. (I recommended the Athena steak)
This place is awesome cozy atmosphere, great service and the food is always great! If your popping by cranbrook this is the place to eat.
Delicious
Outstanding
Loved the Chicken and Sussage pasta. Prawn appetizer was also amazing with lots of olive oil! Friendly staff
Nice place friendly staff. Great food!
Excellent restaurant. Great service. Exquisite food.
Very intimate restaurant. I believe it is the finest dining in Cranbrook.
