Bar Von der Fels is a small, casual wine bar downtown. We went as a group of 4 and had a reservation on a Saturday night. The room filled up as the night went on.We shared all the dishes we ordered and drank wine by the glass. All 4 of us had different tastes in wine and the server made it easy to find wine that we all liked. The food was very, very good. Everything we ordered was wonderful. The wine I had was above average for my experience. We felt like the food and wine was above-average value, even though it wasn't cheap. I think we paid around $13-$14 per glass of wine because of our particular choices. There were cheaper options.The fellow who served us was one of the owners. I really...

Stopped here with my boyfriend after a Flames game. I only mention that because I'm assuming that's why we got such terrible service - we didn't fit with the typical clientele? The server who seated us said they didn't have a menu, but rather, would get one of the sommeliers to recommend a wine to us based on our tastes. Okay. So we wait for the sommelier to come back and serve us. Despite the bar being only half full, we waited 5 minutes and no one came back to our table. The servers and bartenders were too busy visiting behind the bar to notice that we had no drinks, no food, and nothing on the way. After ten minutes we got up to leave, and the server finally came over to ask if he could h...

I stumbled upon this Bar when I was reading Air Canada's contenders for best restaurants. I was surprised to see that it was only two blocks from my place. Point is, it's easy to miss. I am quite sure I walked by it at least a half dozen times and never saw it. It's SMALL. Very small. Only a few tables which filled up very nicely while we were there. The kitchen is open and also super tiny and explains the limited but delicious share menu. The wine list had plenty of choice including some orange wines. Would highly recommend it.

Only 28 seats--so go early, OR definite reservation.Ambience--simplistic, and cozy!A wonderful variety of wines--and more than one choice of rose!Charcuterie is always more than interesting.This time we tried the Shishito peppers---wow! very flavourful.Ask for their bread and house butter with this item!This is a great "secondary "location to enjoy that late night snack,and a full flavoured pairing!Still recommended.

Went for a wine testing with a friend and discovered that you can try a dozen different types of wine that I hadn't had the pleasure of trying before. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they are affiliated with Metro Vino so you can go and buy the ones you like. The food was also amazing, simple and tasty.

Stark , yet comfortable ambiance. Service was immediate and very wine informative. Menu represented some innovative, yet expected appetizers with tatare and veg. salads. Long bar presentation, yet areas for intimacy. Somewhat Italian in kitchen specializes. Definitely a repeat!

One of the most happening spots in Western Canada. An extraordinary exclusive wine list and some of the best food in town. Come by early as it fills up fast. Allow the on site Sommelier to recommend some great wine and enjoy the food !
