Modern Steak

Found in both Kensington and on Stephen Avenue, Modern Steak is a must-try. A modern steakhouse experience featuring local products, you'll want to read that full menu twice. Complete with a steak order guide and their cuts explained, you'll learn more about your food and where it comes from in the first five minutes. Modern Steak was actually the first restaurant in Canada to go into partnership with a local ranch and purchase its own bull to guarantee the highest quality, local Alberta beef available. With a unique lounge and a cocktail list to make you thirsty, you'll want to get comfortable at this restaurant.

Like many businesses, Modern Steak took a huge hit with the city's shutdown during COVID-19. Calgarians were staying home and people weren't eating out as much. However, Modern continued to offer Sunday dinner series for takeout so people could still enjoy their delicious beef from the comfort of their home. The restaurant has scaled back their capacity and are currently operating by reservation-only, but have implemented social distancing measures and are ready to welcome you back inside.

You can support Modern Steak by visiting one of their trendy locations or ordering takeout to enjoy from wherever you choose. Their Stephen Avenue location has also recently opened a patio with ample seating, so book your table for a dose of sunshine on their website. Stay tuned on their social media to learn more about their weekly specials and upcoming events that respect social distancing.
