Reviews of Allegra Restaurant (Coffee Shop)

Will Liamson

Great food. And service.

Ben Humphrey

Traveling through town on vacation. We've dined at many fine restaurants, this was the highlight of the trip. Beautiful food, staff and reasonable prices. To bad we live 400 miles away - otherwise this would be a regular haunt.

Rebecca Moore

Small cozy dining place, with great service and superb food. This is a must visit when in Cranbrook.

Kara Hockley

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!

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!

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! ????????????

Ingvar Enberg

Absolute hidden gem.

French Bulldog

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!

Bernie May

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.

Tyler Fiorentino

Nice little place, fine dining tucked away in Cranbrook. Keep it simple and they will come.

Jaclyn Viger

Allegra is a hidden Gem. Always so delicious and fresh. You will not be disappointed!!

Henry Hamilton

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.

Samuel Lau

Great food, will definitely come back. Steak, pasta, salad, and cheesecake were all good! So was the duck.

Claude Montplaisir

Excellent food and service. Not cheap but well worth the money for those special occasions...

Black Fox

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)

Jay A

EXCELLENT, everything was great!

Maxine Adshead

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

Gladys Laing

Busy spot, get a reservation or ask to sit at the bar, we did, tried a variety of appetizers and weren't disappointed. Food was excellent.

marion herbert

Good fair. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Portion sizes are on the smaller side.

kris erickson

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.

Sandra Cave

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.

Stuart Mason

Allegra is always a safe bet for top dining in Cranbrook. I have never had a disappointing meal.

Jani C

Loved the Chicken and Sussage pasta. Prawn appetizer was also amazing with lots of olive oil! Friendly staff

Chuck Wood

The atmosphere was excellent I felt like was walking into a Mediterranean restaurant. Service excellent, food very fresh and well prepared, I had duck it was cooked to perfection a little pricey but worth it

Jenelle Clark

Robert Tovell

Matthew Edwards

Sebastien Brisebois

BW Fritzler

Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Bernie May-Derbyshire

It was good!!!

Annabel Van Der Niet

This little gem serves great food. The smoke duck appetizer was awesome!! I couldn't give it a full 5 star because the building is a bit dated and looks almost like a hole in the wall.

Lorraine Ausman

Excellent restaurant. Great service. Exquisite food.

Caralee Parr

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.

Tim Berg

Food is amazing. We have been to the Allegra a few times and everytime it's amazing!

Don Siler

Always delicious.

Jerry Wiebe

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 ....

Chris Veen

My favorite place to eat in the Cranbrook area

Craig Rogers

Great service and the food was amazing, so many layers of flavor!

Mark Manuel - Real Estate

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.

Eric Zook

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.

DY W

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 didn't 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.

Kevin McMullen

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.

Eric Lockyer

Very tasty.

n-du fox

Great food eat there all the time

Nick Sullivan

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. Can't wait to go there again next trip. Put this place on your bucket list for sure.

Lucas McCann

Yum! And great service.

Irena Ceko

Horrible service 3 appys forgot.. FOOD was subpar at best. Risotto was crunchy... Dirty glasses served... Pop was absolutely flat... Do not recommend..

Garth Wood

Jon Pedersen

Excellent and imaginative menu. A bit small, but this results in attentive service.

Myrriah Sherriff

This was incredible. The food was incredible ... Fresh local morels with perfectly cooked lamb dish. I highly recommend this little hidden gem

Tashina Lally

(Translated) Great food and service. Friendly reception. A restaurant that must be visited when in town. Book a table as the restaurant is relatively small. (Original) Fantastisk mat och service. Trevligt bemötande. En restaurang som måste besökas när du är i stan. Boka bord då restaurangen är relativt liten.

Phillip Vollmer

I love the food at Allegra The staff/owner are awesome whether you eat in the restaurant or pick food up!

Marlene Robinson

If you are ever in cranbrook you must eat here

Jeff and Melanie Bromley

Outstanding

Margot Cain

Wonderful dinner with friends...great food and great service.

Daryl Elder

Found while passing through Cranbrook. Delish appies and mains (striploin with huckleberry sauce and salmon special) were fabulous. Have already made our reservations for later this week when we are travelling through again! SO GOOD!

Dale nadeau Nadeau

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.

Cathy Betteridge

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 don't eat here if you think mushrooms on a burger are too adventurous...

Glenn Stiller

Dine in

Hugh Enknowen

Excellent. Hubby loved beef tender loin and duck appetizer was yummy. Can't wait to go back.

Joanne Lindquist

Service

Sharon Arnott

Amazing food and service. Thank you.

Erinne Branter

A chance dining experience for us as we passed through town, and we couldn't have picked a better place. From the moment we walked in, to the last spoonful of dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The place was packed and even without a reservation, we were made welcome until a table was ready, the food was fantastic with spot on recommendations, and the staff friendly. On the food note: everything tasted as fresh and local as it is and the Alp Farmers Pasta is a MUST - just please, please, don't skip the addition of the chef made apple sauce! Incredible (and take a jar home!). We will be back!

Victor Gerard

Sarah Lowry

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!

Max H.

The best restaurant in the Kootenays !

Pamela Hancock

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 I'm 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)

Bruce Ogilvie

Bern here twice and all was fantastic

Sungkoon Lee

Pricey but very good food.

John K

Great Organic food cooked to order. Small cozy restaurant better to book in advance. You wont be disappointed.

Brett Watson

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 haven't been back since and won't be. No customer deserves to be disrespected like that.

Asha DeLisle

Good social distancing protocol.

Chris N

Chef Thomas has the best eats in town. Never disappointed at Allegra. Always a pleasurable dining experience... and the servers are great too.

Pamela Robinson

Great food and great service

Robert Merk

The food was Amazing. The service was excellent. We loved it. A great experience!

Keith Barlow

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.

burt yurch
