CALGARY, ALTA.—Calgary puts on its best face during Stampede, so it’s hard to choose where to start. Breakfast is a good place to start, with stops for gear, grub and art along the way to the big party at the end of the day. Dinner: Modern Steak is a new, high-end steak house in a city that runs on red meat. Carefully sourcing its beef from local producers, it also features luxury cuts such as Wagyu and its signature tomahawk, while also offering quinoa lasagna for the vegetarian guest. Get cultured: The Western Oasis on the Stampede grounds is truly that — a quiet place to recharge with a glass of wine and a marketplace full of artists working with Western themes, from ranch life to landscapes, equestrian scenes to First Nations themes.
