Our Menu & Culinary Philosophy

At 525 Restaurant & Patio, our kitchen is driven by a commitment to quality. We stand firmly on the principle that fresh is always better, which is why we never use frozen ingredients as the foundation of our dishes. Every item is prepared using in-house recipes, from our rich sauces to our house-made desserts. We take pride in partnering with local Alberta suppliers, featuring the best Alberta Beef alongside fresh produce and artisan products from the region. This dedication to freshness ensures that every bite bursts with flavor, whether you’re enjoying a perfectly grilled steak or a vibrant salad.
