Wow. What a magical food adventure. This was my third time eating here, and it only seems to get better and better every time. If you're vegetarian, this is the place for you. If you're not vegetarian, this is still the place for you. The food here is so incredibly rich in flavour, texture, and aesthetics that the absence of meat is not noticed or even cared about. Everyone who works here is welcoming and helpful and they turn the evening from merely eating to a truly magnificent dining experience. I will be returning here each time I visit Calgary until it goes out of business or I do.
Among an exclusive few favourite restaurants for great food at reasonable prices. Trendy meets sustainable at this dining and cocktails spot on 17th. Tasty, creative vegetarian dishes tend to celebrate fresh, mostly local, largely organic produce rather than trying to imitate meat. (That said, the freshly made Upstream Burger is among the most popular items at the Coup.) Atmosphere and service are pleasant, comfortable, and friendly, and the food is truly terrific. Our favourites include the Greek Goddess, Magic Dragon Bowl, and all the salads. A salad here serves as a very satisfying meal large enough to feed two small people. The commitment to environmental sustainability is impressive, though they don't boast much about it. It's clear they are careful about sourcing, using locally grown and minimally packaged produce, rennet-free cheeses, GMO-free grains. They have their own beehives, and use their own compost in their garden. The place is 100% wind powered, and even uses recycled paper for the menus and vitamin C transfer receipts. They also support Tree-Canada (planting 36 trees a month) and Meal Share (thousands of meals provided). No reservations except for larger groups, but you can count on getting a table right away if you arrive by 5:30 about the right time for dinner before a downtown show.
I work in food safety and always check out a restaurant for their health inspections before I go out to eat. Who wants food poisoning, right? Well, I checked out The Coup and their last two health inspections were excellent. So, last night, I had dinner at The Coup with some friends and our dinner and the service were outstanding. We ordered various appetizers to share and all the food was absolutely delicious. Our server was prompt and pleasant. I highly recommend The Coup for your next lunch or dinner experience as you will be pleasantly surprised. By the way, you may want to make a reservation ahead of time as this place is very popular. Message for The Coup - keep up the great job on your health inspections!!!
Love this restaurant! I only have the opportunity to eat there once a year when Im in town for a writing convention, but both times Ive been, the service has been exemplary, and the food has been great. Highly recommend the Ruby Crush cocktail. Ill never be able to make that at home!
So far my favorite vegan-healthy restaurant! Had an amazing dinner, delicious and beautiful cocktails, authentic friendly service. The atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and welcome. An overall great experience. I will definitely visit next time I am in Calgary.
