Notable
Notable has called Calgary’s Montgomery community home for 11 years. The restaurant offers a cozy setting to enjoy popular dishes like the rotisserie chicken and braised Alberta beef cheek. And good news for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies, as most of Notable’s menu can be made gluten-free upon request.
