Once Upon a Brunch, inspired by Cinderella, is Terroir Symposium’s signature 20th anniversary brunch experience where culinary artistry and imagination come together. Lead by Chef Liana Robberecht and Terroir Guest Chef Chet Sharma (UK), this event is a collaboration featuring restaurants and businesses along Calgary's famed 17th Avenue.

In partnership with 17th Avenue BIA, guests are welcomed into a dream‑forward reception with handcrafted cocktails inspired by the words “a dream is a wish your heart makes,” before the experience unfolds into a seated tasting of expressive, flavour‑forward savoury plates guided by the spirit of “they can’t order me to stop dreaming.” Each bite is designed to be visually captivating, emotionally resonant, and rooted in creativity, collaboration, and the joy of beautiful food. The final chapter arrives as a grazing dessert tableau, closing with the sentiment that “where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness there is magic.” 

This is not a traditional brunch. It is a modern, magical celebration of 20 years of Terroir’s culinary storytelling, created for those who cherish imagination, connection, and unforgettable experiences.

Included in ticket: Welcome cocktail, a drink pairing, savoury bites, dessert buffet, entertainment. Please note that due to the specialty nature of this event, dietary restrictions are unable to be accommodated. 

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: This venue is an Alberta Heritage Building that is not wheelchair accessible.
