It is a cozy restaurant with wonderful food and very good service. I highly recommend it. Being a former Montrealer, this ought to mean something. Forgot to mention a last item: they are honest. The had dropped a few items from a seafood plate (which we did not witness), the made it up by giving us 4 lobster tail.

Vero is one of our favourite restaurants in town - we've always really enjoyed the food and service. During the pandemic we've ordered takeout from them a couple of times as well and the food is just as fabulous. The specials they have every night for dinners for 2 or 4 have been amazing - we had an incredible gnocchi with seafood last week. Highly recommend!

Absolutely divine! My girl and I enjoy dining out and experiencing new restaurants we’ve never been to. Vero was my birthday surprise and wow were we impressed! It’s chic, comfortable and has a great atmosphere.
Our server Chad (fellow foodie) treated us so well, suggested favourites from the menu and had perfect wine accompaniments! We enjoyed: olives, bruschetta, calamari, gnocchi, meatballs and the surf & turf. An exquisite dining experience and is truly Mediterranean!
This is a special place- great for date nights, foodies or just treating yourself to one of Canada’s best dining experiences. Of all the thousands of places we have enjoyed this is in top all time! Chef Jenny is very talented, strives for excellence and her menu is always amazing! Chef de Service Michael offers warm welcome, impeccable service and a perfectly selected wine/drink list. Vero is a dream team of culinary success!
***rated as one of the Top 100 Best Restaurants in Canada*** I would comfortably state Top 10! Vero is more than a restaurant it is a destination...

This is by far our favorite restaurant in Calgary as the food is consistently creative and delicious, the staff attentive and customer service focused and ambiance relaxing and comfortable. I am surprised this restaurant is not rated by Avenue as one of the best if not the best within Calgary each year. The fact that it is rated so high by Trip Advisor which has participants globally with experience tasting various dishes should be enough I guess. Regardless I can selfishly say I hope it does not become 'the hot spot' for the FOMO crowd as I would prefer it be a best kept secret for those who do their research from abroad as well as true foodies from Calgary who discovered this gem. Jenny you are truly a magical chef!

This was my 3rd lunch coming with my office co-workers and it is very much recommended. The food is to die for and so is the service. Diane is a lunchtime staple as much as the wonderful food is and we always leave with a very full belly. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and cozy, perfect for the cold day when we visited! Give them a try the next time you are in the Kensington area or make a trip wherever you are in the city of YYC!

Vero Bistro is hands down our favourite restaurant for a night out. Whether it’s trying new items through a set menu and wine pairing, enjoying a favourite dish off the menu, or indulging in a decadent brunch, it’s impossible to go wrong when choosing this fantastic restaurant. The exceptional wait staff only add to the experience with their warm reception and excellent service.

We had a booking mishap in the summer and was able to get a reservation this past weekend. I was with my coworkers and boss and we all agree that our dinner was an awesome experience, from service to ambience and to the quality and taste of the food. We heard that their Steak and Frites were to 'die for' and all of us ordered it and yes, it was just that. Mouth watering morsels of meat that melted in your mouth, marinated, cooked and grilled to perfection and presented on a board with truffle parmesan fries, chimichurri and sprinkled with arugula. I'm getting hungry just typing those words out!! It was just that delicious!! Due to the miscommunication with our previous booking, Michael offered us all desserts. I had the tiramisu and it was light, fluffy and oh so yummy!! Perfect ending to the perfect meal. Thank you, Michael :)! As soon as I was in the car, I texted my family group chat and friends group chat that we had to check out Vero Bistro. And as soon as I got home, hubby asked if I had any left overs lol! And, yes, I always make sure I have leftovers for my 'self proclaimed master chef'. He quickly heated up the meat, just enough so it's not overcooked, as I had asked for 'medium' and was silently chewing for a few minutes. I know that when he's speechless, he is enjoying every bite and also analyzing what the ingredients were in the marinade. Between bites, he says, 'miso', 'mirin', etc. lol. His conclusion was that we just need to go to Vero Bistro for our next date night. We will be back very soon. (Also posted on other sites)

We have not eaten at Vero in quite a while but have been having their takeout on several occasions. It is wonderful. Last night we had dinner for two - fried chicken - brilliant (didn't think you could say that about this dish), their steak with potatoes, pasta with pecorino and green salad with wonderful dressing. Each dish was just outstanding, very well and thoughtfully packaged. Quantity is large for us, really its dinner for 2 for two nights. It is great value for both quantity and quality. Everything was on time, and very covid sensitive. Is it the same as going in, of course note. But it is wonderful never the less and we will join them inside soon. In the meantime don't hesitate. They are always super helpful to accommodate food preferences.

Such a lucky evening for us!
My brother was visiting from overseas. We decided to eat out on his last night here. It happened to be a Tuesday (special chef’s tasting menu) and the weather was warm enough by sit on the patio until 10pm! When can you do that in Calgary?
We shared plates to try more things and everything was FANTASTIC!
Not inexpensive, with wine, etc., but really good value!
I can hardly wait until next summer to try it again...

I highly recommend having a meal at Vero Bistro Moderne. The food is second to none, especially when considering the price point. The service is outstanding , we go to this restaurant about 2-3 times per year and now find ourselves catching up with our sever we see most often (Jody). Truly such a cozy place that we have come to love over the years! If you go, I highly recommend the sweet potatoe gnocchi as an appetizer!!

We have been coming to Vero for a number of years and it continues to be our favorite restaurant in Calgary. Vero is our go to place whenever we have a special celebration and during covid, we have continued to do the take out dinners. The menu changes daily and we love the variety. The flavor and dishes are incredible and I have recommended Vero to my friends and family and they have all been impressed. Thank you chef Jenny!!!

I have loved this restaurant for a long time, especially the steak frites. We have ordered the pick up dinner special a few times for our family of 4 and it is amazing! The food is so good and the portions are so big that we always have leftovers, which is amazing given we have 2 teenage boys. The price for the dinner special is so reasonable too. I highly recommend trying this place!

We were delightfully surprised when Chef Jenny herself brought the main platter of food (Surf and Turf for Two), which included Grilled Black Angus Beef Tenderloin, herb butter sauce; Grilled Free Range Lamb Chops, Barolo reduction; Butter Poached Lobster Tail; House Made Tortellini, stuffed with roasted pork & vegetables; mortadella, slow-cooked Berkshire pork Bolognese; Signature Coconut Prawns, mango aioli; Truffle Parmesan Frites, lemon aioli; and Roasted Vegetables (eggplant, zucchini)--to our table. Our servers, Michael and Riley, were solicitous without being overbearing. We had a great date night, and a terrific start to our May long weekend.

GThe host Diane was attentive and made personal suggestions for a wine I would enjoy. She was lovely to speak to. The food was elegant with fresh ingredients. It is a nice relaxing ambiance where you can savour your meal. I have heard wonderful things about their brunch, which I will try. This is an Italian restaurant with local flavours.

Haven't been here in many months due to covid but decided to get the takeout diner for 2. Salad, lasagna, Osso bucco w polenta mmm. Brussel sprouts in a curry sauce may sound odd as a side but trust me, it was all delightful. Looking forward to our next time. My wife & I think Jenny's food is outstanding for a very reasonable price.
