Recently named Best New Restaurant by Avenue Magazine, authentic Nepali flavours are waiting for you at Aama Nepalese Cuisine in Cochrane. Their recipes are intended to celebrate the culture and history of Nepal, as well as recipes from the chef’s late mother. If you haven’t tried their Momos (authentic Nepali dumplings), you must get to Aama’s quickly! 

Forget Taco Tuesday. Any day is a good day for tacos, nachos, or burritos at Cabeza Grande. However, they do a stellar job of showcasing other Mexican food and drink staples, including sides, desserts, and a kids’ menu. Try the “Triple T,” then explore their margaritas and tequila flights for a fiesta-style evening. 

Fine spices and fresh ingredients are the gold standard at Mehtab East Indian Cuisine, offering authentic Indian cuisine in Cochrane.

They’ve got you covered with an extensive list. 

If you’re into fresh and local ingredients, the chef at Fence & Post has tempting dishes created to feel familiar to Canadians — with a bit of a twist. You’re missing out if you haven’t had their garlic balloon appetizer or Elk Osso Bucco. Pro tip: always ask about the slice of the day, it’s cake at its finest.
