Second time here in a month. Always a bit scary to retry a favorite. Will it be as good? The answer is a big YES! This restaurant puts so much love and effort in every detail. Every bit and taste is a wow. Wonderful staff. So relaxed atmosphere.

Ruslan was very welcoming and informative. We ordered everything he suggested and were very pleased with everything we tasted. Our faves were the lamb tartar, duck breast and romesco. Absolutely will be back.

All around an excellent dining experience! Quiet table by the fire on a cold night. Every dish was perfectly prepared, the duck breast and lamb ribs are standouts for sure! Service was quick, friendly, very knowledgeable and clearly loved the food there as well! This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Calgary. Will be back.

We enjoyed a few plates of tapas, skewers of delicious beef and lamb and a lovely salad. 2 cocktails (1 non-alcoholic) and a glass of wine, our total bill was $130 which is more than reasonable. Boho chic interior design is very chill and modern.

Mushroom bechamel delicious. Shakshuka was pleasant though not overly exciting. Good coffee and tea. Great service and cozy/well-appointed space!
