Canada's Best New Restaurant Is In Calgary & You Can Sip Bowie-Themed Cocktails In The Clouds

Someone sat near the window at Major Tom. Right: Two cocktails from Major Tom.

The views are stunning! 😍

Locals know that Calgary's food scene is a force to be reckoned with and now the rest of the country seems to be getting it too.

Canada's 100 Best just dropped their 2022 list of the best new restaurants in the country and for the first time ever, a Calgary restaurant has taken the top spot.

Major Tom, a 60s-style spot that can be found towering above Stephen Ave., took the top spot in the list of Canada's best new restaurants less than a year after opening.



While the spot is famous for its steak menu, there's so much more to it. Major Tom – which takes its name from the famous David Bowie song – also has a perfectly curated cocktail menu, with some drinks also named after the iconic musician.

The decor is on point for anyone who loves some vintage glamour, one of the most impressive parts of the restaurant is its panoramic view of Downtown Calgary which is beautiful day or night. You can even see right out to the Rockies.


Garrett Martin, a culinary director at Concorde Entertainment Group – which owns the Major Tom restaurant – told Narcity that a hugely talented team of people was the reason for Major Tom's success in such a short time span.

"Everyone from the person who chooses the music, the person who chooses the lighting, to the person who makes the cocktail menu and designs the menu and all the way down to the food. It takes a lot of people that are extremely passionate and talented," Martin said.

"Our bosses have done a great job of assembling a team of people that are really excited about doing something different but delivering an extremely high level," he added.


So, if you're already planning your visit, what should you be getting? Martin said you should definitely start with a cocktail.

"With the cocktail program that Nate Wry has put together is incredible and Brad Royale's wine list, I really believe that the beverage menu is second to none," he said.

For food, don't skip out on the hors d'oeuvres or the steak.

"We take a lot of pride in the menu but we're especially proud of the little hors d'oeuvres to start the meal. Those are pretty fun. We also put a good amount of money, time and effort into our beautiful steak program that just shows off the best of the best," Martin added.

Several other Calgary spots also made the best new restaurant list including D.O.P., Eight, Nupo, Jin Bar and Orchard.

ChatGPT is back up after an outage disrupted use this afternoon

If you had trouble using ChatGPT today, you aren't alone. The AI chatbot experienced a partial outage for many users this afternoon, with Down Detector saw reports reaching more than 12,000 reports around the peak point of the issue today.. OpenAI issued a status update shortly after noting that "elevated error rates" were occurring for ChatGPT and Platform users. That problem was marked as resolved at 5:14PM ET.

While the initial outage may be repaired, OpenAI does still have an active status alert up. It's only for the fine-tuning component of its API service. But the end may also be in sight for that final issue, because the current statement from the company is "We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovering.

Watch Sir Sadiq Khan get skewered by a GB News panel in a blistering attack, branding the Mayor of London's efforts as "not good enough".Tre Lowe led the charge against the Labour Mayor, saying: "Last time I spoke about London, I said we had more chance of seeing Lord Lucan than seeing bobbies on the beat."And sadly, the actual stat is true. In the last year, we have lost 1,460 officers. That's in one year. That is a fact. Yes, we're told that knife crime is down and that's great."And murders are down and that's great as well. But what isn't great is that us Londoners don't feel safe. "I know a lot of women in London don't feel safe. Certainly when my wife goes out, she doesn't feel safe. I have to come and get her all the time. "The problem is, is if there are no bobbies on the beat, there is no visibility and there's no deterrence. See, because policing isn't all about stats. It's about confidence and the standard Londoners expect from our Mayor are sadly being let down. "This is my city, a city that I absolutely love and this isn't good enough."From London's famous New Year fireworks to the Overground's "woke" rebranding, the panel went on to deliver a scathing assessment of Sir Sadiq's legacy in office.WATCH THE CLIP ABOVE FOR MORE
