This year let’s celebrate Father’s Day by taking the family to one of these Calgary joints, right up Dad’s alley. Remember, calories don’t count on this holiday.
Best for Chinese: Regency Palace
Perfect for lunch, this delectable dim sum restaurant offers a buffet (so families can choose their own BBQ pork buns) and a koi pond to entertain antsy kids.
328 Centre St. S; 403-777-2288; www.regencypalacerestaurant.com
Best for Burgers: Boogie’s Burgers
For the unpretentious dad, Boogie’s casual atmosphere paired with homemade burgers and shakes do not disappoint.

Best for Breakfast: Belmont Diner
We know our men and their love of the all-day breakfast. Have him try the Montreal Smoked Meat Omelet, while kids gobble pancakes made into any shape they choose.

Best for a Meat Fix: El Gaucho Brazilian BBQ
Here, skewered roasts are carried to our table and carved onto plates bringing out the carnivore in us all.
