The Coup

Phenomenal!!! The vibe was awesome, the food was phenomenal.

Caesar salad amazing!!! Potatoes delicious! Pad Thai I didn't try but my friend said it was great as well.

Eric the chef was so lovely and came by to check on things numerous times.

Our server Merph was amazing too!!!

Really cute place in a safe and touristy shopping area. Free on street parking after 6 pm on Saturdays. We ordered the mushroom bacon sushi (excellent), the crispy Brussels sprouts (excellent x 10), the cauliflower (I thought it was pretty good but it was my husband's favorite), the roasted potatoes (excellent!), and the drunken noodles. I didn't like the drunken noodles, but my husband did. They were fresh and flavorful but not really my thing. I also got the blueberry yuzu cider which I loved. The service was good, the atmosphere was very chill. All genders bathrooms, thank god! Would go here again.

I absolutely love this restaurant but I think it is out of business now I went to it a while ago but I heard it's out of business in Calgary. If there's one in your town you should go do it it's very like farmhouse sea organic actually I don't think it's all organic but it's like farmhouse sea. It's really cool I love this place but check Google first to make sure it's still in business.

The Coup located in a beautiful and trendy area of Calgary. The parking around there isn't ideal but there are some options. The restaurant is beautiful inside very relaxed and trendy. The food is amazing! Many vegan options with reasonable prices and portions. The biggest thing with this restaurant are the unique flavors. Honestly as a vegan it is rare to have food that appeals to non vegans while staying true to non complicated vegan cuisine. I definitely recommend this restaurant to try veganism while enjoying what good gastronomy is.

We enjoyed the variety of options. We appreciated the flexibility of the menu--they are able to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and even onion/garlic allergies. The coffee crisp cheesecake was amazing!

Super delicious! I had a marinated eggplant dish while my partner had the banh mi. We were both very happy with what we got. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. It wasn't too busy when we went in for lunch so it was chill. We keep talking about how we'll absolutely go back again soon.

I guess it really depends on how much you like vegan or vegetarian food. Well I am so so. I came here because I had a friend from Vancouver come over to visit me and she is a vegetarian. I don't know a lot of vegetarian places in Calgary. So the three of us (my sister, Yelper P and myself), decided to give this place a try.

My sister and I, shared the vegan benedict. I do like the mushroom in the benedict. We had potatoes on the side and they were ok. The food was slightly on the salty side. Yelper P seemed to like her food. We were also given free sample drinks to try. It was ginger, cucumber drink with an interesting kick. They were served in shot glass.

We came on a Sunday morning and it seemed quite quiet. There was only 2 other tables occupied before noon. After noon a few more people showed up.

Getting a table was not difficult and of course no wait.

Food was so delicious from the vegetarian sushi to the hot pot and the drunken noodles. We got the recommendation from a bartender at the "sister restaurant" Nourish Bistro in Banaff. Honestly the food here was my favorite meal from the creativity to the flavors of the meals. Would return if I was in the area.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Creative, delicious vegetarian/vegan food and cocktails with great service and ambiance.

For our last night in Calgary we wanted a pretty nice dinner. Yelp gave us several suggestions but this place went right to the top of the list because it was vegetarian/vegan and had such good reviews. We made reservations, which was a good thing because the place isn't very large and was packed. It had that retro-mod but slightly rustic look with lots of wood and plants, which was stylish yet still friendly and cozy. They also had a live DJ spinning some loungey electronic music, which was a nice touch. We got seated at one of the tall communal tables by the windows, which turned out to be a good place to see what's going on in the resto as well as the outside.

We started out with a couple of cocktails, which turned out to be really well-made and delicious. Then we chose a variety of items from the menu to share--everything was really great, with just a minor quibble with a sushi roll's rice being a little too al dente. It was really exciting for the bf to know that he could order anything on the menu. For the record, everything is vegetarian, but not necessarily vegan, but they can make a lot of the items vegan so there is that. The meal and service were wonderful. I think this place is a must-visit in Calgary for any vegetarian or vegan (or even an omnivore who just likes tasty food).
