Eating Out In Lethbridge

One of the things you will love about Lethbridge is the fact that it is small enough to be "Small town friendly" yet still big enough to be "Big City Convenient". When you want to eat out in the City there is plenty of choice when it comes to, both type of food and theme of restaurant.


Here are some reviews of two of our favorites:




Montanas Cookhouse
This is a western ranch style restaurant franchaise that specialises in ribs, steaks and chicken. When you walk inside the first thing you notice is the decor, one half of the eatery is split into wooden boothes or tables, the table cloth is a sheet of paper and crayons are provided to the kids (and some of the mums & dads) can amuse themselves playing noughts and crosses or sketching.
The other half is a bar area with televisions all round the bar, usuallyshowing hockey games.

The food is western orientated and theres plenty of it, the prices are very reasonable.




La Mezza Luna
This ristaurante is located on the intersection of Mayor Magrath and Scenic Drive. It is Italian themed and is split into two separate rooms, this review deals specsifically with the restaurant area.

You cannot help but be impressed as you walk through the large carved wooden entrance door, the reception staff were attentive and after a few seconds we were being shown to our table. Despite our first impressions of what we thought was quite a posh place, we noticed the customers were mostly families, some quite large groups and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

The food was fantastic, the beef barley soup was more like a beef stew and the halibut was perfectly cooked, it seemed as though it had been poached then flame seared. The steak was also perfectly cooked, the vegatables to were well presented too.

When the bill was presented i was pleasantly surprised, this is one place we will be going to again.
