Dine Alberta Restaurant:

Elk Horn Dining Room at the Num-Ti-Jah Lodge
Icefields Parkway on Highway #93, 403-522-2167

Chef Michael Strydom

Historic Num-Ti-Jah Lodge, situated spectacularly on the shores of beautiful Bow Lake, Alberta, has become a year-round home to Chef Michael Strydom, his wife Caroline, and their young chocolate lab, Lulu. Chef Strydom’s position working as Head Chef in this intimate 25-room rustic Lodge is a contrast to serving the food critics and British celebrities who frequented the UK’s The Running Horses, twice voted the Best Restaurant in Europe by the European Catering Association, where he had worked as Senior Sous Chef under Head Chef Edward O’Connell.

Originally from South Africa, Chef Strydom combines a worldly knowledge of fine cuisine with a newfound appreciation for the splendour of the Canadian Rockies, and for Alberta’s exceptional culinary offerings. Bison, elk, and venison are expertly prepared by Chef Strydom and his small but experienced team, to be enjoyed in the warm log ambience of the Lodge’s Elkhorn Dining Room, next to a roaring fire or a window view complete with glaciers, a tumbling waterfall, and the intense turquoise wonder of Bow Lake itself.
