Vegetarian
In 2004, The Coup opened its doors to Calgary and surrounding areas with the desire to provide a modern vegetarian restaurant to the community. Since then we have been dedicated to delivering a vibrant atmosphere and creative vegetarian fare. Our products have been selected based on a deep desire to support local, make everything from scratch, and celebrate the community we are in.

Our bar program has a strong cocktail focus, with great partners who have aligned ethical and ecologically sustainable practices. We focus on local brewers and distillers, and strive to curate a cocktail menu that focuses on ingredients that are local, flavourful, and unique. We strongly believe that the experience of dining, or enjoying cocktails isn’t only for those who drink alcohol. As such, all of our cocktails are available in a non-alcoholic format, as well as a large compliment of other zero-proof offerings.

    Great food, I had the Beach Front Hot Pot and my wife had the Magic Dragon Bowl. Both were excellent, wish I could cook meals that good. Will be back as soon as possible.

    Service was great. Arancini appetizer was really good. Unfortunately the rest of the food was extremely bland and underwhelming. Barely ate our mains, chickpea Caesar salad and shawarma. I used to frequent the Coup a lot years ago, and it was one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary. I think the menu has changed since then. Not worth the money.

    Great place to eat even if you don’t have any dietary restrictions. The friends we were dining with are not vegetarian and they loved the food and would definitely go back. If you have dietary issues you will find a variety of plates without gluten and dairy products. Our waitress was helpful and answered all our questions about the menu, Finally, the desserts are very delicious..

    This is among the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants that you will find and we have been to many in our travels. The staff are excellent and accommodating. About the only thing to otherwise mention is that we were waiting for menus until we finally asked and were informed that we needed to scan the bar code on the table.

    Extensive drinks list with non boozy and lots of boozy options. Well curated beer and wine list. And the food menu had some really really good apples on it. Definitely worth a return trip to sample a few more. Staff were courteous and friendly and not overbearing or pretentious

    Really poor service. The bar tender decided to make a scene when we asked about our drink. Then he made another scene at another table that sent back their food. Just really poor service.

    It was fine. Got seated at the bar — “last minute” reservation. Only 2 tables occupied by the time we finished up and left though. Table would have been nice. Otherwise, food was good and service was friendly and efficient.

    There was an error with my order where peanut sauce was provided instead of almond sauce. This is obviously a simple mistake but given the seriousness of peanut allergies more care would be appreciated.

    The last time I went I was a disappointment. The food was not as tasty and not as presentable as before. It was dry and bland like from a fast food quality kind of food. Something has gone really wrong - I’m thinking the chef must have changed. From service to the food - I was disappointed! Let me try again one more time as I really liked it the first time I tried it. Let’s see what will be the verdict for me.

    Totally worth the hype! We came in on Friday night and it was completely packed, so we made a reservation for lunch on Friday and I’m so glad we did! The atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming and the food was insane! I got the Beach Front Hot Pot and my friend got the Upstream Burger, and we shared Carrot, Dill and Split Pea Soup. All of it was outstanding! I wish I lived closer so I could try everything on the menu. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Calgary. Eating here is an experience everyone needs to have!

    We had a great night catching up with friends. The food was great as usual - with portions large enough to have leftovers! Truly worth every penny. The Dragon Bowl with tofu was the best. Service was ok.

    On this occasion, they were out of the kimchi for the “Bun-Me”. So I thought I was settling for the Treehouse sandwich. What a pleasant and highly satisfying surprise - full of flavour, color, and textures. I had mine with tofu. Whereas, my table partners who were having it also really enjoyed their egg version. We started off with the butternut squash soup and gyoza, which did not disappoint. Just as flavorful and just as filling! We are definitely returning to this cozy and rich experience again.

    I am usually the type of person that rejects vegan food but the food at the Coup was outstanding. I didn't even know it was possible to have food that tastes that good and have it still be vegan. The staff was also very nice and the whole overall experience was great! 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 would return.

    I miss their larger menu - and some of the old classic dishes that no longer are there. The mess are large and heavy, which many may like but I miss their lighter entrees. I found the prices quite a bit higher than expended. Pandemic pricing, I suppose, but it makes it unlikely I’ll be able to eat there again for quite a while. The table separators, while an appreciated safety feature, made me feel really claustrophobic, squashed into a small corner with the plastic walls - I would have appreciated an option of where to sit (we had a rez and the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived). It made me very uncomfortable and anxious. Or, they could spread the tables a bit further apart - for the prices, I think it would have been nice to have a bit more space. As always though, the servers were lovely and customer service was good. The food was not bad, but didn’t appeal to me the way the old menu did.
