    Giorgio's Trattoria

    Slightly fancier than your average salt-of-the-earth trattoria, Giorgio's, nonetheless, serves up authentic Italian classics like osso bucco risotto and a fine pear and gorgonzola pizza mixed with the odd Alberta inflection (Buffalo papardelle!). The interior is elegant and there are prices to go with it (especially the wines).

  18. Grenfell Historic Properties

    A number of local sites pertaining to Wilfred Grenfell are subsumed under Grenfell Historic Properties. The Grenfell Interpretation Centre, opposite the hospital, is a modern exhibit recounting the historic and sometimes dramatic life of Grenfell. Its handicraft shop has some high-quality carvings and artwork, as well as embroidered parkas made by locals – proceeds go to maintenance of the historic properties.

  19. Grenfell Museum

    Admission to the Properties also includes Grenfell's beautiful mansion, now the Grenfell Museum. It's behind the hospital, about a five-minute walk from the waterfront. Dyed burlap walls and antique furnishings envelop memorabilia, including a polar bear rug and, if rumors are correct, the ghost of Mrs Grenfell.

    Yes, it's a microbrewery (offering six year-round beers) and yes, it serves food (including wings, burgers and shepherd's pie), meaning this funky gastro-pub is a Rocky Mountain rarity.
