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.

    Our server was great and made excellent recommendations. She was doing everything herself and could have used some help. The front door desperately needs to be fixed. It is loud and hits you suddenly if you aren’t careful. I’m not a vegetarian, but I did not miss meat when I ate at the Coup. I would recommend giving it a try

    I celebrated my birthday last night with some pals at The Coup. The people that worked there were AMAZING. They really went above and beyond to make my birthday experience so special. They were so lovely!! The food - AMAZING. the loaded yams 10/10. The espresso cheesecake (that I was graciously gifted, with a lit candle and a birthday song from the staff) was free from dairy, gluten and refined sugars and tasted DELICIOUS. If you feel like this review is me screaming great descriptive words about the experience and the food, it’s because I am. I will definitely be back!

    We were there for lunch and are vegans. I had the Messy Jessi from the brunch menu which was excellent, flavourful and filling. My husband had the falafel quesadilla which came with a side. He chose sweet potato wedges. His food too was excellent! There was on street parking (paid) on 17th Ave so access was easy. Fairly quiet inside. Service was very good without hovering. We’ll definitely go back.

    I’ve been to Coup many times and this time was different. We ordered things that we’ve ordered before, but were extremely disappointed. Gyoza was cold, kale salad was ok, drunken noodles with the tempeh (which was recommended by the server and was totally not the right choice) was also disappointing. The tempeh tasted smoked and did not take on any of the flavour of the curry but instead forced the smoke flavour inonto the noodles. That should never have been recommended. Also - George wasn’t there! We’ll still be back,because we love this place, but hopefully better experience next time.

    Always an excellent time at the Coup! Really appreciate the kitchen expediting an extra order of gyoza for our very hungry 4 year old after he crushed the first round. Extremely tasty and always recommend this spot!
