Bridgette Bar Canmore Review

Bridgette Bar Canmore Alberta

They are located in Spring Creek at 1030 Spring Creek Dr, Canmore, AB T1W 0C8. There is limited underground parking and street parking.

They have a nice outdoor patio. You can see the tops of the mountains and a view of a water feature in the front area. The front area is known as The Beat.

For more information here is a link to the Bridgette Bar website.

Our waitress was so knowledgeable about celiac disease and the dietary needs of a celiac. I felt very comfortable eating at the Bridgette Bar.

Inside Bridgette Bar Canmore

Here is what the inside looked like from our table. I'm looking towards the entrance area. Our table was by the windows just in front of the patio. Nicely decorated, but very noisy. Peoples voices echo and it is hard to hear your conversations.

Table setting at Bridgette Bar

The table settings are nice. The table was small for 4 people. I liked the decor of the restaurant.

Started with a delicious Grapefruit Soda. The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company is a local business in Canmore.

We started our dinner with the Burrata Cheese. So good! It is burrata cheese with poached rhubarb, strawberry jam and olive oil. You may think this is a strange combination, but it goes so well together. I could have just eaten a few of these!

Usually served with sour dough bread, but they served gluten-free hummus chips for me. Sour dough bread was served to the non-celiacs in our group. The chips were crispy and the marsh chilli and preserved lemon dusting was so yum.

Grilled Farm Chicken

Sorry for the photo! I forgot to take a picture when it came and we had already demolished it, before I remembered I needed to take a photo.

Huge portion! Tasty succulent grilled chicken, with a yummy chicken sausage (already eaten), smothered in a ton of fries. The grilled lemon was great over the chicken. The mayonnaise dip was so delicious. The gravy is not gluten free and was put on the side in a cute little metal jug for the non-celiacs.

Yes, they have a dedicated fryer, so us celiacs can enjoy the fries!

Our waitress was awesome! Very knowledgeable regarding celiac gluten-free meal requirements. She was friendly and attentive.

The Bridgette Bar was bustling. I highly recommend making a reservation and letting them know you are a celiac ahead of time.

Sorbets

We shared two desserts. The mango sorbet on the left which had a yummy intense mango flavour. And the lemon sorbet on the right which was very refreshing. A perfect way to end our meal.

Above are photos of the Bridgette Bar Canmore menu. Sorry not the best. You can also check out their menu on their website.

Below is the email I received from the supervisor inregards to my question about gluten-free options for a celiac. I also received a text which was about the same except for the dessert, the text included a Chocolate Pot de Creme and not the Marjolaine Cake.

"We do have a fair amount of gluten free options on our menu as well as dishes that can be modified. I should add, we also have a dedicated gluten free fryer.

I felt very comfortable eating at the Bridgette Bar. Do email or text message them, as menu items can change in any restaurant due to a variety of factors: season, availability etc. I did and they were great at getting back to me and letting me know which dishes I could eat.
