Hey Wanderers, it’s Aira here, and if you’re looking for a night out that combines a little luxury with a lot of flavour, let me tell you about the exclusive steak dinner at Cactus Club Cafe on Stephen Avenue. This wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience—one that felt tailor-made for those of us who love to explore Calgary’s best culinary gems.
From the moment I stepped into the cozy glow of their Stephen Avenue location, I knew this was going to be special. The evening kicked off with appetizers that were perfectly paired with cocktails. I couldn’t get enough of the Hot Chicken—crispy, spiced perfection—and the Salmon, which was delicate yet bursting with flavour. The first drink pairing was on point and set the tone for an elevated, intimate evening.
Then came the star of the show: the mains. I went for the Peppercorn Ribeye, and let me just say, it was a steak lover’s dream. Tender, juicy, and smothered in a bold peppercorn sauce, every bite was pure magic. The wine pairing brought out all the right notes, making each mouthful a celebration of flavour. My date tried the Lobster + Filet, and I may or may not have stolen a few bites—it was that good! The lobster was buttery and decadent, complementing the filet in a way that made it hard to choose a favourite.
As the night wound down, dessert arrived, and it felt like the cherry on top of a perfectly planned evening. Paired with a spiked frappé, it was rich, indulgent, and the ultimate sweet ending to an incredible night.
What I loved most about this experience was how it felt like more than just a dinner—it was a moment. Whether you’re celebrating, reconnecting, or simply treating yourself to something special, this event was an absolute must for wanderers like me who love discovering the best Calgary has to offer.
Calgary’s food scene continues to surprise and delight, and nights like these remind me why I love Wandering In YYC.
