Are you open Sunday!

They are in fact open on Sundays. Amazing brunch.

Where can I find a food menu?

Try their website?

Do you have gluten free options

Yes they do!

How do I make a reservation online??

On their website is a link on the top right hand side. It takes you to a third party website called "TouchBistro" Create an account, and then you just select the city, date, time and how many people. Hope that helps.

Are your burgers gluten friendly?

Our beef and chicken burgers are gluten free. We do have a gluten free option available for our buns.

Is the restaurant kid friendly ?

Absolutely! There's a variety of kids menu items, Cotton Candy Crush drink is always a hit! We have coloring sheets and board games to help keep kids of all ages entertained!

Absolutely amazing. After 6 months of wanting to go here I finally made the 4 hour drive for dinner!!! As a chef I always appreciate a great meal. My friend had the feature burger of the month which I think is so amazing. Cilantro and Chive are so involved in supporting their community that I hope people continue to support them. Hope to be back very soon! Well worth the road trip.

Food is very tasty!! Staff is friendly and helpful even when I did my best to be a difficult and annoying customer they rose to the occasion to provide great service. Was informed that the menu is changed seasonal as to keep there use of local ingredients high and prices low and competitive. There interior is very fresh and inviting. a bit of an industrial look at the ceiling with a blend of country coming from the tables. With a mod flair and great art adorning the walls.

Loved it. Minute we walked in we were treated wonderfully by everyone and quickly sat down. I love the quirky tables and charm of this place. Atmosphere is loud, but with that comes with the cheery vibe. Had the hot wing poutine, and the bacon double cheeseburger (garlic)c . Really neat presentation with the Caeser, and the burgers was hefty. Had the jalapeno corn soup to start and it was amazing. Can't say enough good things - give this place a try.

Beautiful place on a nice street in a nice town. Menu is awesome for interesting locally sourced meats. Elk, bison, duck, beef, chicken. Great place to go to. Reservations is a good idea under Covid19 table distancing.

After reading rave reviews on our way home from Canmore decided to stop in here to eat. Not a good choice. Was very disappointing. Had to sit out on their back patio which was freezing and they did not have any heaters working. They had tables available inside which were “reserved” but when we left they still had tables available. Table was dirty and food crumbs on seat. Service was slow. Bathroom had no toilet paper. Had the poutine flight which was cold and fries seemed old. Had the burger of the month which also was not very good. Soup was cold as well. Will not be going back.

Their homemade soft pretzels with beer cheese dip is really good and would make a great late night or game day snack (may the games someday return). But, my favourite was the dill pickle poutine. Surprisingly, the dill pickle doesn't overwhelm and the dill pickle ranch dressing is a nice twist on top of an favourite Canadian dish.

Always an amazing time at Cilantro and Chive! Creative menu, something for everyone. Very kid friendly and delicious!!! Recommend getting a reservation if possible but if you don't, their staff is very friendly and accommodating and we can usually get a table even if it's busy. This place is a must to visit for any craft beer lover or if you are in Lacombe or passing through!

Have had the pleasure eating here a few times already. Been to Sunday brunch and dinner a few occasions. The food has always been absolutely excellent. An amazing craft beer and pop selection. The menu is top notch, many items feature local producers. The space it self is very comfy and casual. Service has always been excellent. One of the best places in Alberta.

Cilantro & Chive is a must visit while in Lacombe!! Or it’s one of those restaurants you drive for. My husband and I live in Sylvan Lake and once every couple months we make a special trip. My husband would say the best part of cilantro and chive is their mass selection of craft beer! My favourite part is the unique atmosphere and menu they have created. Every time we visit the service and food is phenomenal. Make sure to book a reservation though because they fill up fast!!😊

went for lunch as a party of five with 3 being over 70. despite being half full we were sat at a picnic table which was very hard for us (especially the older ones) to get in and out of, not to mention, where do you put your coat with no chair back and no visible hangars anywhere?? The music was quite loud for a lunchtime which meant that the over 70's had quite a hard time hearing anything that was being said. As far as food goes it was good with imaginative ingredients. Burgers were dry but very flavorful. I might go back but I certainly would not bring our parents again or sit at that damn picnic table again.

great food, great service, not super long wait times (our reservation was for 5, we ate, got dessert to go & were out by 6). it’s a bit loud, but that’s just because it’s not a super large place & was fairly full. you NEED the pulled pork sandwich (with mac & cheese) in your life!! i never knew a sandwich could spark so much joy!! my mama gave the beef wellington a solid 9/10 & the desert trio was delicious. if i could give more stars, i would! you need to eat here !

Everything. On. The. Menu. Is. Amazing. Had to really stress that sentiment. The service, the food, the ambiance... this place is the real deal. It is on my “must stop” list any time I’m heading between Calgary and Edmonton, and is often the sole destination of a road trip. Special shout out to the dill pickle poutine. No words to describe the level of bliss.

We ate on the patio, it was very busy on a nice Friday afternoon but they took our phone # and we shopped until we got the text that our table was ready. The food and service were excellent and we will definitely be back. We started with the Brome Lake braised duck wings in an Asian salt sauce and they were very tasty, more chewy than chicken wings but delicious. We also shared the peach and prosciutto chicken burger along with the mixed greens and enjoyed it very much, a little tricky to share it was piled so high but we both loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Update: This time took it in kid free and enjoyed and great evening. It happened to be national Caesar day so naturally had to have couple different version. The bacon and classic. Food was awesome! Beef Wellington so tender! Too stuffed for dessert so took it to go! Lacombe is has so great gems to check out and this is one of our favorites!Great food and atmosphere! Awesome beers and mixed drinks selections! Must go back without the kids next time!

August 13, 2019 almost a year to the day and have come again to stop at Cilantro and Chive in Lacombe, on our way to Calgary and this is a great halfway town to stop at where this great restaurant is. Great food. Last year I had the #ceasaerthateatslikeameal pulled pork with mac&cheese and it was tasty. It’s a little pricey but as a tourist thing it’s a great memory. This year we ate on the patio and enjoyed it. We had great service and the ambiance was great. We all enjoyed our meal. We came again because we enjoyed it last year and this time did not disappoint either. The restaurant is clean and as are the washrooms. I would easily recommend this restaurant for a great time and great food.

Love this little restaurant in the beautiful town of Lacombe. It's a small and cozy space. There's plenty of room, but reservations are recommended. The menu is imaginative, and no dish I've tried over multiple visits has been a miss. Their cocktails are just as creative and enjoyable! Definitely a worthwhile detour on your way south or north on Highway 2.
