We had the Arancini and Chicken 65, followed by a daily slice of carrot cake, a scoop of mango ice cream, and macarons. Everything was delicious and well presented. We truly loved the ambience, the food, and the service—such a lovely experience overall. Highly recommended!

Very good food, really comfortable atmosphere, great staff. Stopped in with my kids on the way to Kananaskis and was happy we did. Their Croque Monsieur Sandwich was so good! Was made with real chunks of baked ham, not lunch meat. Everything was really fresh. Will definitely go back :)

This restaurant has become a family go-to for special events and celebrations. The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful, and they are excellent with our toddlers and so welcoming to them. They have a kids menu as well, but their food is so good that we just end up ordering off the main menu for the little ones! It makes them feel fancy and special - photo of our oldest getting his very own cheesecake tonight to demonstrate that 😂

This restaurant was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was outstanding—fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was memorable, and you could really tell how much care goes into the cooking. The service was just as impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere made the whole experience even better—comfortable, inviting, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. This is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

I went to Cochrane to visit my mother for xmas. She very kindly took me, my sister, brother-in-law, and their two kids to Fence and Post. The room looks great. Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. The drinks menu was very good, with some very nice beers and an emphasis on local brewers. I don't know much about wine, but Mum seemed happy with her glass of Malbec. The food. Ah, the food. It was so refreshing to see a menu from a chef with such an understanding of flavours and textures, not to mention plating. Upscale but not at all pretentious. I tried two appetisers: the Chicken 65, which was excellent, and the Brussels sprouts, which were outstanding. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the pickled onions on the sprouts, coupled with the gastrique they were tossed in was just a wee bit too much acidity, but that's seriously reaching on my part. All in all, one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in probably the last decade.

This amazing restaurant in Cochrane has simple but elegant menu with delicious options that have always been fantastic. The desert and beverage menu is a perfect pairing to their food. I highly recommend a date night out here.

This is the second time we have been to Fence and Post and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is cool and relaxed. Very comfortable. The menu though! ...they offer seasonal specials (we were here also in the summer) and everything we have tried is delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food portions were perfectly proportioned for the quality of food. Everyone was happily full with just a bit of room for dessert. And you must try the desserts! Overall a fabulous place to eat and well worth the drive to Cochrane if you live in Calgary. It's like a hidden gem. Be sure to make a reservation before you come or you may not get a table!
Fence & Post is easily one of our favourite restaurants in Cochrane. My wife and I have celebrated birthdays and our anniversary here, and every visit has been exceptional. The service is phenomenal — you can genuinely tell the servers enjoy what they do, and it creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The food is consistently outstanding, beautifully prepared, and always feels special. It’s the kind of place where you know you’re in good hands from the moment you walk in. Highly recommended for any occasion, whether it’s a celebration or just a great night out.

Nobody should have to pay 10 dollars for a loaf of bread.,any decent restaurant. It would be complimentary. Trust me your chefs. If they,actually are. Aren't that good. Farm to table. I,have to doubt that now,too
