“This slate of participating establishments showcases the local flavours that influence each region of the province,” stated Rheannon Green, Director of Finer Details with Food Tourism Strategies. “From the Indigenous peoples who shaped our land, to the immigration influences of the French, Ukrainian, Chinese and Vietnamese, the Alberta terroir is shaped by the people as much as by the land which is reflected in the diversity of the restaurants, food products, and culinary creators across Alberta.”

Alberta on the Plate is a province-wide dine-around where participating establishments offer fixed-price menus highlighting local producers, growers, distillers, and brewers. Organizers sar there is a wide variety of experiences to enjoy, from quick service/casual dining to fine dining to brews and snacks – something for everyone. It takes place in conjunction with Alberta Local Food Week and Alberta Open Farm Days.

Officials say this program is all about fostering relationships between food service operators and local farms and producers to create a more sustainable local food economy. It also connects our consumers with the incredible bounty of products being grown, raised, and processed in Alberta, while supporting the local food and drink establishments that put Alberta on the plate and in the glass every single day, officials point out.
