Twisted Fork Restaurant

At Twisted Fork, we believe every great meal begins with the people who grow it.

Since opening our doors in 2017, our mission has been simple—to create a bridge between Alberta's farmers, producers, artisans, and the guests who gather around our tables. Every season inspires a new chapter, with menus built around fresh local ingredients and flavours that celebrate both tradition and cultures from around the world.

Our food is approachable yet creative, familiar yet unexpected. Whether it's a comforting favourite or a globally inspired feature, every dish is handcrafted with care and finished with our own signature twist.

Meet Chef Deb

For Chef Debra Poulin, cooking has always been about family.

Growing up in Ontario's Niagara Region, she spent countless hours beside her grandmothers learning the timeless traditions of preserving fruits and vegetables. Those early lessons in patience, craftsmanship, and respect for seasonal ingredients became the foundation of a lifelong culinary career.

By the age of fourteen, Deb was already working in professional kitchens. She went on to earn her Red Seal Chef certification, Blue Seal Business credential, Level II Wine Steward/Sommelier designation, pastry training in Montréal, and numerous advanced culinary certifications. Years of travel and experience across Canada shaped a cooking style that blends classical technique with flavours inspired by cultures from around the world.

After settling in St. Paul, Alberta, Deb found her true home among the province's incredible farmers, ranchers, and food producers. In 2017, she and her husband Stéphane opened Twisted Fork with one goal—to celebrate local ingredients while creating memorable dining experiences for every guest.

Crafted From Scratch

Making food from scratch isn't a trend for us—it's simply the way we've always cooked.

Our kitchens prepare nearly everything in-house, from our preserves, sauces, dressings, BBQ sauces, spice rubs, soups, and desserts to countless seasonal features. By making our own pantry staples, we're able to accommodate many dietary preferences while delivering bold, honest flavours that let quality ingredients shine.

Even the products we don't make ourselves, like our artisan breads, come from carefully selected local partners who share our commitment to craftsmanship.

Celebrating Every Occasion

Whether you're joining us for lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch, or planning a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, we're honoured to be part of your story.

From intimate dinners and weddings to corporate functions, private events, and custom catering, Chef Deb works closely with every client to create menus that are thoughtful, personal, and unforgettable.
