Charcuterie plates made for sharing in Calgary
A cozy downtown hideaway, Escoba’s charcuterie platter is heaped with house-made meats including not-too-spicy chorizo sausage, honey-smoked salmon, prosciutto and smoked duck. These finger-licking nibbles are paired with garlic flatbread, red-pepper bean hummus and a selection of premium cheeses that changes daily.

Dinner and a movie at CIFF in Calgary
Across Eighth Avenue Southwest from Globe Cinema, one of the two main CIFF venues, Escoba is a cozy bistro and wine bar with Latin leanings. The small-dish starters (applewood cheddar risotto balls!) and charcuterie are recommended, and Escoba’s steak and seafood entrees are cinematically sumptuous. Go for Alberta beef tenderloin or paella prepared with lobster, a whole lot of other seafoods and Andouille sausage. Absolutely do inspect the wine list.
