You have to try the beef tataki, takoyaki & the special rolls. Oh and don't forget to buy a pack of Hi-Chew for $1 because the proceeds are donated to those affected by the tsunami in Japan.

Muse Restaurant

muse
Muse Restaurant in Kensignton
Three years ago, the BF & I made reservations at Muse but we ended up going to Banff. The BF loves this restaurant but I had never been. Well, we finally visited Muse over the Holidays and I must say, it was definitely worth the wait. The food, the ambiance, and the staff (our waiter was so wonderful & helpful with the menu) were superb. Can't wait to go back!

Truffle Popcorn - I love the smell of truffle oil!

These lanterns reminded us of the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Hands down, the BEST dessert I've ever had in my life. That says a lot since you know I LOVE to eat! The Praline reminded me of Ferrero Rocher, which is my favourite chocolate.

At the end of our meal, Executive Chef Xavier Lacaze came by our table. He was very kind & even took this picture with me. I wish him the very best in Season 2 of Top Chef Canada! If you're in Calgary, then definitely check Muse out. I promise you won't be disappointed.
