Rutherford House — Attraction in Jasper Place

Its a nice provincial historic building to visit on a rainy day or in the winter. They have a very nice and cozy historic-feel cafeteria inside where you can also book a table for a special function or a date. The building itself features main room, girl and a boy old kids room, maid room and library / living room on the bottom floor. Its the home of the first Premier of Alberta so its nice to see how it was built, how people dressed and lived in the higher societies. There is a little gift shop in the basement area with cool old-style wooden toys that wont break your budget and your kids/toddlers will love. They offer special program throughout the year but have to visit their website to find out about them. This includes winter / christmas special events, Easter bunny, etc. They have very nice staff and of course keep the place clean and informative. If you park in front and enter your license plate number you do not have to pay for parking. There are only few spots so on busy days you gotta get lucky but its always better to try as there are very few free parking spots in the area as this is close to downtown and the university...

We went here for my wife's birthday for afternoon tea. It was one of her time wishes to come and check this place out, we were not disappointed. Excellent ambience, great staff and good experience over all. We were sat for our tea time and offered a menu of teas. She very much enjoyed the vintage house blend where I went for the more traditional Earl Grey. When I had set up the booking I had mentioned we had vegetarian restrictions and they full paid attention to it. We were blown away by the selection of pastries and savories that were brought out the table. The friendly staff explained all the various items. Each bite had us exclaiming how good each treat was. The tea was delicious as well. We never attended high tea before so we had a few reservations about attire and such but going business casual is perfectly fine.

Overall a great experience and we will definitely make this at least a monthly traditional...

I was just driving around soaking in the fall opulence around this beautiful area when I stuck this nice hidden gem tucked in such a lovely Lush green ambiance. Clicked a few pics around, will sure come some other day for lunch which was over by the time I was here. It is served 11:00 to 14:00 Hours only. Will review again!!!
