A go-to dining destination
The food and beverage offering at Fairmont Palliser has long been an important part of the city’s social fabric — a go-to destination for celebrations and special occasions; a revered setting for a wonderful night out.
Hawthorn Dining Room + Bar’s renovation in 2019 brought a superb design of classic yet contemporary, nestling into the grandeur of the hotel to create a sophisticated yet approachable sense of invitation.
April brings a reimagined menu, repositioning Hawthorn to create a radiant presence, rooted in prairie authenticity and pride. Modern Prairie features the unique flavours of the prairies — wild grains, elk, bannock, beef, trout, wild mushrooms, and birch syrup; these seasonally treasured ingredients tell the stories of our relationship with the landscape in a respectful and inventive modern era. Captivating signature dishes define a new perspective on the timeless beauty of the local ecosystem, celebrating more than 20 local purveyors, producers and artisans, showcasing resident talents, and exhibiting all the love and passion that the wild prairie landscape inspires.
Great restaurants around the world are attached to great bars. Hawthorn is no exception. The revitalized cocktail list is spectacular with signature experiences, such as Prairie Caesar, High Tea and Fireside Reverie. Bring your friends to enjoy half-priced bottles of wine on Wine Wednesdays, and Flute Fridays offer Veuve Clicquot and Moet Chandon brut or rose at $20 per glass 4pm to closing every Friday from the tableside champagne cart service.
Located at the start of the Music Mile, Hawthorn is also proud to support local musicians. Unwind to the soulful sounds of live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, 6pm-10pm.
Encapsulating all the grandeur of Fairmont Palliser, Hawthorn welcomes Calgarians and the world to participate in the best of our city, our landscape, our authentic stories and our invigorating sense of ongoing discovery.
