Food and service is always amazing here! Hands down best bouillabaisse in the city, highly recommend!

I highly recommend the lobster spaghetti, but I wish bread were complimentary. I had a glass of the pinot noir. The quality wasn't that great for $14. The ambiance is soothing and the service is good. Lots of parking.

Purlieu is consistent. Great food, Great service, every time. The wine list is well selected, well priced and includes wines that pair with the cuisine. This restaurant is a real Gem.

Love, love, love Purlieu, what a gem in the suburbs. The food is always immaculate and perfectly portioned. I would love to see some new menu items as this hasn't been modified in a while, although the specials update regularly.

Cozy restaurant with next level, amazing food. Decent wine selection, appetizers were to die for.

James

Such a wonderful restaurant . Small and quiet and the food is amazing . Bread is a bit overpriced for what you get but the atmosphere is great and the food is even better . The menu changes often which is great as you can sample a variety of dishes and make sure to ask about the feature items not listed on the menu . They can be a very nice surprise !

Purlieu was 11/10! A beautiful restaurant, tucked away in a cozy little neighbourhood. The staff take pride in their service and are very friendly. One of the best meals we have had in Calgary - definitely worth the trip.

My wife and I always seem to have great experiences at Purlieu. The staff is knowledgable and professional while the food is consistently good with select chef specials adding to the variety. It's a quaint neighbourhood bistro that punches above its weight. One could be forgiven for passing it by in its humble Oakridge location yet don't let that fool you. Purlieu is well worth the visit.

Purlieu Bistro — one of the best places we’ve been to in Canada. Outstanding food and service. After visiting three years in a row, it’s become our favorite place to spend evenings with friends, celebrate birthdays, and mark our wedding anniversary.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who works at Purlieu for their warm hospitality and attentive service. Your dedication makes every visit special.

Everything we ordered was yummy! Calamari to start, lamb shank and lobster spaghetti for the main and pate au chocolat for dessert. If you want to treat yourself after a hard day at work- this hidden gem is where you should go...

We dine at this lovely little restaurant every time we visit Calgary. The food is exceptional, the staff is very attentive and the menu is very good. The deep fried calamari was absolutely delicious. We will be back.

Magnifique! Merci beaucoup to the talented team at Purlieu for yet another splendid, memorable, sumptuous dining experience. The intimate, stylish ambiance, exceptional wine list, refined, inventive menu and culinary excellence is top notch. My dining companion had a stunning and generous! lamb shank and I had the market fish; arctic char with a fresh salsa. Divine. Desert was a real treat: highly recommend the cheesecake with seasonal strawberries. Skilled, creative cooks and warm, attentive, spirited staff. I could not recommend this local gem of a restaurant more highly. I live in Edinburgh and an outing to Purlieu is an absolute must in my book to complete any visit to Calgary. Special shout out to James and Sam who made our evening special!

What a gem, Every part of the meal for the three of us was excellent. Not a cheap place but very pleasant and high quality food. I wish I had known about it a few years ago but it does not seem to be well advertised.

Exquisite food, delightful service; a lovely intimate restaurant perfect for any occasion, or no occasion at all!
