About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

This is where the morning flirts with the afternoon and the afternoon is smitten with the evening.

Start the day with specialty coffees, artisan teas, and French pastries, swing by in the afternoon for a light, feel-good lunch, then settle in for the evening with craft cocktails, local spirits, and dishes worth lingering over. We’ve also got draught lines pouring local beer and screens on to catch the game, so you never miss a moment. Big bites or small plates, there’s always something to suit your mood.

Had the afternoon tea experience with a friend. The food was delicious! The staff are friendly and offered to take a photo of us commemorate our time. The atmosphere was outstanding as the whole hotel is themed around Oscar Wilde. Definitely will be back!

Nice setup. Service was great. High tea is extremely overpriced for what you get.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with afternoon tea at Prologue Cafe in Calgary, and we honestly had such a lovely time. The petite fours were delicate and delicious, and the tea selection had so many wonderful options to choose from. We especially enjoyed the sandwiches and all the sweet treats served with the high tea, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and special. It was such a cozy, memorable experience and a perfect way to celebrate together.
Prologue cafe | cocktailsResponded on February 28, 2026
Dear Raina, Happy anniversary to you! We are so glad to hear that you had a memorable experience with us on your special day.

Worth trying at least once. Such a tastefully decorated space. The place was a bit busy when I attended and there were only two waitresses so the wait time was a bit longer than you’d typically expect at a cafe. However, the waitress (Cherry) who attended to me was very mindful of this and apologized and was absolutely delightful to interact with.
Prologue cafe | cocktailsResponded on October 21, 2025
Dear GABRIEL, We welcome all compliments, but it is especially nice to hear you praise Cherry. She truly breathes hospitality and makes us a great place to enjoy a meal. We appreciate your review, and we hope to serve you again soon. Best, Prologue Restaurant Management

We reserved on Open Table for High Tea. However when we got there we were told that High Tea was only available on the weekend. Why were we about book for High Tea on a Monday when it wasn’t available? It was for a special occasion & we were very disappointed.
Prologue cafe | cocktailsResponded on October 8, 2025
Dear Carol, We sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused by the unavailability of High Tea, despite it being indicated as an option. Please accept our apologies. Your feedback will aid us in enhancing our services. We appreciate being selected for your special occasion and look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.

The server was very nice and attentive. The panini and salad I ordered was delicious. Wish I could have tried their afternoon tea service. Would recommend it to friends if ever in the area.
