I must say however, that anyone living in Calgary or coming to Calgary that hasn't been here is definitely missing out. I've done a fair amount of traveling, but cannot remember the last time we had such incredible service. Both the owner/chef Kenny and our server Jessica went above and beyond to make our evening incredible. As the menu is tapas and sharing plates. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was incredible. As we all have different taste and likes it was surprising that we all enjoyed all of the dishes. I cannot emphasize enough, checking this place out if you would like an amazing meal. Our only disappointment is that they do not have a location in Edmonton.

We had the absolute best experience here. If you have never been & are looking for a place with…read moreamazing food & incredible service, this is the place to go! we were visiting from out of town for the weekend and decide to go here for as a little celebration for completing our half marathon. our server, Jessica, was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions (since we are soooo indecisive!). For food we ended up ordering and sharing the zucchini latkes, piri piri chicken, pork belly, mezze dip plate (we got the red pepper hummus, tomato feta & brown butter labneh), halloumi and the potato fingerlings. The bread for the dip plate was homemade, it was to die for! The dips to go with were amazing. Each of the tapas we had was perfectly balanced with spicy, fresh, sweet and savoury touches. The attention to detail in the food is very evident. Everything was delicious. We couldn't even choose a favourite dish because everything was THAT good!!!! It is not often you go out to eat and every single dish is a hit, but here everything truly was. the owner & chef, Kenny visited our table multiple times, chatted with us, checked in on our food & explained exactly what was in each dish. He was extremely personable and also made our experience tonight extremely special. at the end of our meal, we couldn't decide on which dessert to get, so we got the lemon ice cream dish and the chocolate hazelnut mousse. They were both absolutely delicious. the lemon ice cream was so refreshing and the chocolate hazelnut mouse was rich but not too sweet & the crumble on top was incredible. The staff even surprised us at the end of our meal with a little something to congratulate us on our run today. we have never seen a staff do anything like this before, it was the kindest surprise and we are so grateful. they made our night so special. honestly, none of us can remember the last time we had food and service as wonderful as we did tonight. Thank you Jessica and Kenny for making our evening so special! We can't wait to come back next time we are in town & HIGHLY recommend stopping here if you get the chance!

Fantastic restaurant from Darren Maclean! Had the Yakitori Omakase experience at first sitting on…read moreSunday night. Restaurant wasn't terribly busy - probably because it was Super Bowl Sunday!!! Seated promptly - there are only four seats for the omakaze experience. You have a view of all the preparation of the food - sat right in front of the charcoal grill which emanated heat through the glass. The starts of the experience - the Hokkaido scallop and the chicken ass (only available on the omakaze experience and cannot be ordered in the regular dining room now). Never felt rushed, unlimited sides. Only thing that could be improved is difficulty hearing the server and chef over the background music and restaurant noise. Also some of the background music didn't seem to suit the environment (pretty sure I heard some Dr Dre!!)

A VERY special and LOUD shout out to hostess Phoebe for making my birthday EXTRA happy this past…read moreSaturday. Kind, well-spoken, gentle, efficient, always a smile on her face and she went above and beyond. I had a 12:15 pm reservation. Unfortunately a group was taking much longer than expected. I waited over 30+ mins to be seated and so yes, I could've made a scene, but that wouldn't be me. Phoebe could've just let things be ... you know? Because "it is what it is". But she didn't. Once she seated me and my friend, she offered to take photos for me and of me. SO thoughtful! She also brought me a beautiful ice cream with a sparkling candle in it. SO sweet! She smiled at me every time she walked by almost as a way to make sure I was doing OK and feeling good. She was WAY more attentive than our female server who looked, sounded and acted like she couldn't leave work soon enough. Wasn't going to let her dampen my birthday though... Food tasted good. Presentation was beautiful. The male server who took over was SUPERB. Genuinely happy to "close out" our transaction with him. He was super attentive and willing to make everything go well. Thank you, Phoebe and male server for making my birthday memorable. XO

You only have about 5 or 6 spaces since it seems like the rest of the spaces have a "no parking" sign in front of each space... wtf... The place was nicely decorated and quaint. Loved the vibe. We walked in at 8am, opening time, and there were two parties sitting already. We got seated and looked at the menu. Our waitress was very friendly and mentioned that the Queens Breakfast, and the Montreal Smoked Brisket were the popular dishes. I decided on the Omelette Al Tartufo and my wife decided on the Montreal Smoked Brisket with Poached Egg. The Omelette Al Tartufo was good. Had a good earthy taste of the truffle. They had truffle paste so a hint of real truffle was there. There was a bit of melted cheese in there but there was a good balance. My wife had the Montreal Smoked meat with poached egg, which was also good. Pastrami-like protein with a poached egg, presented in a croissant. Very good, but very filling. Eat this, and you won't be having lunch! All in all, good food, and good service.

Everything about this place is top notch: the food, the vibe, and the people. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about vegan food and made fantastic recommendations. The hot pot was hands down the best curry I've ever tasted. The sauce had this gorgeous brightness and depth that made every bite unforgettable. The yam fries with miso gravy were exceptional, and the peanut sauce with the tofu satay was absolute perfection. The dinner ambiance was lovely and cozy and you can tell the servers genuinely enjoy their jobs. That kind of positive energy makes the whole experience even better. If you're in Calgary, vegan or not, The Coup is a must visit. Phenomenal food, phenomenal service, phenomenal atmosphere.

My partner and I went for happy hour, and we were the only ones in the restaurant when we walked in just after 4pm. I really liked having a bit of a quieter atmosphere. Our server was quite personable and recommended a variety of dishes. We got the Brussels sprouts, satay broccoli, eggplant nigiri, and the soup of the day (Indian style tomato chickpea). The Brussels sprouts were punchy in flavor, and the broccoli was nicely fried with an earthy peanuty sauce. I would highly recommend both. I also got the Sunny cider, which wasn't too sweet. To finish off, we got the ube cake to go. Unfortunately it wasn't our favorite, and it was too small a portion to be priced at $12 in my opinion. With happy hour discounts, our bill came out to about $60 including tax and tip. Not cheap, but it works nicely for a little "treat yourself here and there" outing. Hoping to go back sometime in the new year!

I tried the fish and chip bao and I am glad I did! The fish was cooked well and it had the right amount of toppings inside to get the job done and add some fun flavor dimensions. I wanted to try more items, but I did have later dinner plans that I didn't want to spoil. The temptation was there! They don't rush, it's not fast food so be patient because it will be worth it for the taste. Prices seem reasonable. There are some tables inside but it is a small space which gives more of a take out vibe. Service was friendly. Try it out and give them a review. They deserve it!!!
