Alternative Restaurants to 1888 Chop House
Chuck’s Steakhouse
Best for dedicated beef purists downtown. Go for local farm-to-table transparency and steaks dry-aged in an in-house viewing room. It differs by embracing a rustic, freestanding ranch house aesthetic over traditional castle luxury.
Bluebird Woodfired Steakhouse
Best for a hip retro dinner. Go for live-fire open-hearth cooking and mid-century modern chalet glamour in the heart of town. It differs by prioritizing a trendy, retro-modern vibe over traditional, formal resort fine dining.
The Bison Restaurant & Terrace
Best for general Canadian wild game. Go for local bison and elk prepared in an active open kitchen with rooftop views. It differs by operating as a contemporary, independent downtown bistro rather than an opulent hotel steakhouse.
