⏳ Last Call for White Asparagus! ⏳

The season is almost over, and there are only 2 weeks left to enjoy one of Germany’s most celebrated culinary traditions.

Known as Spargelzeit (Asparagus Season), white asparagus is prized for its delicate flavour, tender texture, and short growing season. Our chefs have been showcasing this seasonal favourite in a variety of dishes, but like all good things, it won’t be around forever.

If you’ve been meaning to try it, or if you’re craving one last taste before it disappears for another year, now’s the time.

Available for a limited time only. Reserve your table today 403-949-3632 or visit www.Bavtav.com

Escape the desk, skip the sad lunch routine, and settle in for a proper midday reset at The Bav.

Our new 3-Course Luncheon is available weekdays from 11:30 AM – 2:30 PM for just $35.

Enjoy a rotating Chef’s Inspiration menu, including:
• A thoughtfully crafted starter soup
• A seasonal feature entrée
• Dessert to finish things off properly

Comfort food, a cozy atmosphere, and a lunch that feels a little indulgent in the best way. Yeah…that’s the move.

Available Tuesday through Friday at the Bav.

See you at The Bav. 🍸

Happy Birthday to Master Chef Charlie, the man whose vision, passion, and years of dedication helped shape this place into what it is today.

Thank you for the stories, the standards, the laughs, and for creating a place that feels like home to so many.

Blue skies, winding roads, motorcycles rolling through town, and a patio waiting for you at The Bav Tav.

Honestly? That’s a pretty solid way to spend a Sunday.

05/23/2026

Thanks for the kind words, Susan. We’re honoured we got to be part of your birthday celebration. 🍻

Perfect for catching up with friends, sneaking away from the office, or treating yourself because honestly…why not?

May long weekend in Alberta… where you pack for summer, but somehow end up roasting wieners in a snowstorm anyway. 😏❄️

So, if you’re standing around a fire in a toque with a cold drink in hand, we respect it. But if you’d rather leave the “campfire cuisine” to the professionals, we’ve got the sausages, sauerkraut, caramelized onions, and cold German beer waiting for you at The Bav.

No frozen fingers required. Yeah? 🍺🌭

05/14/2026

Yep… it’s officially fruity drink season at The Bav. From crisp citrusy refreshers to smooth tropical cocktails, these are the kind of drinks that turn “just one” into staying for another round on the patio.

Fresh air, mountain vibes, cold cocktails… sounds like a solid plan to me.☀️🍋🍊

05/10/2026

To all the Moms… the ones who held everything together with one hand while stirring dinner with the other. The ones who packed lunches, wiped tears, gave rides, gave advice, gave second chances… and somehow still made it look easy.

Today we raise a glass to you. 🥂

Whether you’re spending the day surrounded by family, sneaking away for a quiet meal, or just hoping someone else does the dishes for once… you deserve it all.

From all of us at The Bav, Happy Mother’s Day to the women who make the world warmer, stronger, louder, softer, and a whole lot more beautiful.

And moms… your dessert calories don’t count today. Chef Johnny said so.

05/08/2026

Just like Mom, White Asparagus season doesn’t come around often… but when it does, you make time for it.

Delicate, elegant, a little high maintenance, and absolutely worth the effort. Sound familiar?

This Mother’s Day weekend, we’re celebrating with one of spring’s most beloved traditions, Spargel season at The Bav Tav. From our classic Wiener Schnitzel to pan-seared halibut and Certified Angus Beef filet, Chef Johnny has paired each feature with white asparagus, wild ramps Béarnaise, and fingerling potatoes.

And because Mom deserves a little extra? Every White Asparagus entrée includes complimentary White Asparagus soup.

Take Mom somewhere a little special this weekend. Good food, good wine, and no dishes for her to do after. That alone should earn favourite-child status.🌸 Reservations highly recommended, 403-949-3632 or visit www.BavTav.com

05/06/2026

There's no better way to show how much you love and appreciate "mom" than by treating her to a Mother's Day lunch or dinner. And speaking of love, nothing says "I love you mom" more than our potatoes, snuggled next to a succulent schnitzel or juicy rouladen. So book a table, inside or out, today.

05/03/2026

Longer days, warmer nights… and the patio is calling. ☀️

We’re officially on our Spring/Summer hours and ready for all the sunshine, slow lunches, and late evening visits that come with it.

Tuesday through Sunday
Open at 11:30am ‘til close

Mondays we rest… because even we need a little recovery. Come soak it in with us.

05/01/2026

Dinner plans? White asparagus season is here and its not just a dish… it’s a moment.

Delicate, buttery Spargel done right, paired with perfectly seared halibut, creamy hollandaise, and a glass (or two) of something crisp to keep things interesting.

This is the kind of meal you don’t rush.
You sit back, take your time… and maybe order another round because, why not?

Limited. Seasonal. Worth it. Come get it while it lasts.

04/29/2026

White asparagus season is officially back this weekend at The Bav… and if you know, you know.

Spargel Fest… a whole season dedicated to this delicate, buttery, can’t-get-it-anywhere-all-year kind of indulgence. And yeah, we take it just as seriously.

It’s fresh, it’s limited, and it won’t stick around forever. Come get your fix this weekend while it lasts.

04/26/2026

Something new is creeping onto the plate at The Bav.

Can you figure it out?

We’ll give you a hint… it’s fresh, it’s a little unexpected, and it’s about to steal the spotlight, but it won’t last long.

Drop your guesses below. Let’s see who’s paying attention. 😏

The patio is officially open…
and yes, we said what we said.

Snow banks, fresh air, and that “I’m tough enough for this” energy. If you’re the type who wears shorts all winter, this is your moment.

Limited patio seating available while this little spring tease lasts. Come soak it up before Alberta changes her mind again.

04/17/2026

Chef Johnny’s been at it again… and let’s just say, you’re going to want a seat at the table for this one.

From a perfectly cooked venison rack with blackberry brandied jus, to pan-seared halibut that melts the second it hits your fork… and a pasta primavera that actually makes vegetables feel indulgent.

Oh… and if you needed an excuse to linger a little longer…
our wine of the month is a crisp rosé straight out of Loire Valley.

So… what’s it going to be?

04/16/2026

🎶Well the weather outside is frightful but inside its so delightful🎶

04/13/2026

Our Spring and Summer menu has officially sprung… and she’s looking real good. Fresh flavours, bright plates, and a few show-offs like this tuna tartare making their seasonal debut. Yeah, we didn’t come to play.

And don’t worry, we didn’t mess with a good thing. All your favourites are still right where you left them.

04/10/2026

For those of you who wear shorts all winter… this one’s for you.

We’ve got a very limited number of patio seats open this weekend, just enough to soak up this little tease of spring while it lasts. Sun’s out, drinks are cold, and let’s be honest… you were going to sit outside anyway, weren’t you? Grab a seat before the snow remembers what it’s doing.

04/10/2026

to 1975… when it all began.

Before The Bav Tav had a name you know, it was Edelweiss. A quiet little spot in Bragg Creek where people came to slow down, share a meal, and stay a little longer than they planned.

“The relaxed way to enjoy a meal…”
Some things never change.

Same roots. Same charm. Just a few more stories layered in over the years.

If these walls could talk… you’d probably end up ordering another round just to hear more.

While the Easter bunny was busy hiding eggs, Chef Johnny was busy scotching them. 🐣Happy Easter Everyone!🐰
