A dozen restaurants frequented by foodies in Alberta have found their way on a list ranking the top 100 eateries in the country.
The “Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants” list was released on Monday and Toronto’s Alo was named the best restaurant in Canada for the third year in a row.
“For the past five years we have promoted remarkable and incredibly talented chefs and restaurant teams from every corner of this country — and that’s evident with the number of new restaurants that have been included on the list,” said Jacob Richler, the editor-in-chief of the “Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants” magazine special.
“We look forward to continue recognizing the finest in food and drink for many years to come.”
