The Wild Table (YYC Great Plates)

We have been seeing no shows at every event this year. To combat this, I am putting a $5 deposit requirement on those who are new to my events.

Regular attendees - there is no deposit for you, but please honour your RSVP or update before the deadline.

Spots are still first come first served. We will see how this goes for a bit before having to move back to a deposit for everyone. Thanks for understanding

Please note that cancellations within 30 hours or no shows will risk being removed from this group (or revert to paying a deposit). Those on waitlist are expected to attend if they get bumped in before 12:00 PM noon on Wednesday May 27, 2026.

Annabelle's Kitchen is a modern Italian 'neighbourhood' restaurant and a loving homage to our Italian roots. Serving the food we were raised on and the food you love to eat, we offer a variety of classic pasta, antipasti, and pizza made from scratch using the freshest ingredients. We also offer great wine, innovative cocktails, and local craft beer.

In the summer of 1991, we set about transforming an aging park concession on Calgary’s Prince’s Island. River Café began as a small full service café, operating summer only, with just a roof sheltering the tables from the elements. In 1995, we transformed the open air space, enclosing it with windows and walls to expanded the seating and operate year-round. We repurposed found materials and worked with local artists.

Our vision was to create a unique restaurant that would feel as though it had always existed and that belonged in this remarkable setting along the Bow River. We built a fieldstone fireplace, created an open kitchen with an oven and grill that were fueled by orchard wood, and a bar made from a real boat. We created a large outdoor terrace overlooking the lagoon and landscaped it with mostly native plants which would flourish without irrigation.
