Led by co-chefs and co-owners John Jackson and Connie DeSousa, CHARCUT Roast House is one of Canada’s most lauded restaurants.
The restaurant’s every detail – from the reclaimed local barn wood panelling to the mason jar chandeliers – transports the authenticity and soul of local, farm-fresh producers and their flavourful ingredients to downtown’s most energetic restaurant and bar.
With house butchered meats, homemade preserves, seasonal menus, thoughtfully created cocktails, local craft beers, and a bustling open kitchen, Jackson, DeSousa and CHARCUT are helping put Calgary on the world’s culinary map.

    Wonderful service, not only from the server but from the whole front of house team. Very balanced and creative menu. Cocktails were also very well put together and all in all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had 3 starters and 2 mains and had a tough time picking a favourite! We will definitely return to sample more of the menu as we had a hard time choosing. Highly recommend.

    You will likely get a better experience and better food at The Keg. The service was very poor and the flavour left a lot to be desired. The chairs were also uncomfortable. This is a place I would not recommend to anyone for any reason.

    Service was good free cocktail was nice. The food wasn't great for the price and they sat us in the lounge for a Valnetines reservation. Not cool

    The food was really good. We’ve eaten here before and the food and service has always been amazing but this time I’m not really sure what happened. Our server was very short with us, any questions or concerns were not responded to great. Even trying to order a drink felt like we were an inconvenience to her. She did her quality check/table touch barely even stayed at the table for us to respond and we didn’t see her again for the rest of the night. We were done our meals and waited over 20 minutes, eventually I had to ask the host for our bill. We usually don’t leave reviews like this but some of the steps of service left us feeling not so great after dinner.
