Amazing as always. It's getting pricier though. Food was excellent, wine list precisely crafted. The restaurant was packed, which is nice to see. But service was struggling to catch up. I love this restaurant, have been there many times and will come back every time I can.

Didn’t appeal to us. Bartender was good, food quality wasn’t there. Server tried, but had many tables and did not inquire about food allergies or restrictions. Beef was try and steak overdone. Maybe they had an off night.

The food was tasty, but we weren't very adventurous - we had the fish croquettes as a starter and steak frites for the main. The steak comes pre-sliced with your choice of sauce on the side, and it was cooked perfectly. I had the herbal sauce - I think I'd try the peppercorn if I was ordering it again. Really, it was the tiny tables and the noise that I wasn't fond of. The creme brule for dessert was fantastic - and enough to share. The wine list was acceptable, and the staff are knowledgeable concerning recommendations. I felt that the cab sav that we chose could have used decanting as it didn't open up until halfway through the meal. I would like to go back and try some other items. They make fois gras which is one of my favourite starters - I'm motivated to return for that reason alone.

For the love of French cuisine and French culture located in the Beltline of Calgary, Cassis Bistro is the place. I was blown away by their exceptional food and wine list. Of course we had champagne by the glass and a French 75! The croquettes, the ravioli, the mushroom soup, the beef tartare and mussels frites! What I didn’t think we had room for was the desserts but I’m glad we did. The lemon tart and the creme brûlée was like being back in Lyon, France.

Amazing food! Definitely recommend this place. We went on a cold day in the winter and the restaurant was quite cold. Next time I will wait until the weather is warmer as it will be more comfortable. They really seem to struggle with draft from the front door. Amazing food, great service!! One to try for sure!!
