🍽️ Wellingtons of Calgary | The Best Value Beef Wellington in Town
After a day at the zoo, my friends and I unanimously decided to try this iconic steakhouse - and it did not disappoint! 📍 Location & Vibe • 10km from downtown (easier parking than Caesar's) • Old-school charm: Operating since the 1970s with vintage decor • Theater-style cooking: Massive open grill where chefs prepare steaks 🥩 The Star: Beef Wellington ($48 CAD) • Perfect execution: Medium-rare tenderloin wrapped in golden puff pastry Generous foie gras layer enhances the flavor Wild mushroom duxelles adds earthy depth • Size matters: Substantially larger portion than Vancouver's $88 versions • Fun comparison: Tastes like a gourmet version of Chinese "xian rou yue bing" (savory meat pastry) 💰 Price Points • Wellington: $48 (vs. $88+ at upscale spots) • Other mains: $25-$40 range 👴 Service with Character • Staffed by seasoned veterans - expect grandfatherly hospitality • Dishes arrive in ~20 minutes with irresistible aromas #CalgaryEats #BeefWellington #HiddenGem
