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.

    Had the 3-course YYC Food & Drink Exp, and ordered some additional items off the menu. Everything was so delicious! Service was fantastic (thanks Veronica K)!

    Food was excellent, did the YYC experience meal. Had a wonderful beet salad followed by mushroom risotto then almond cake for desert. Three of the four of us are not vegetarians but we all enjoyed the meal. The selection of different mushroom in the risotto were excellent.

    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
    The CoupResponded on March 16, 2025
    Thank you for Cher your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the service and our vegetarian dishes. We appreciate your patience and will look into the door issue to improve the experience. Hope to see you again soon! 🌿😊

    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!
    The CoupResponded on March 11, 2025
    Thank you so much Kaylie for your amazing review! 🧡 We're thrilled that you chose to celebrate your birthday with us and that our team could make it extra special. It means the world to hear that you loved the food (those loaded yams are a favorite!) and that the espresso cheesecake was a hit. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more delicious moments! 🎉✨

    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.

    Thank you so much Laurie for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your meals at The Coup. We take pride in offering flavorful and satisfying vegan options, and we're glad that both the Messy Jessi and falafel quesadilla hit the mark! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
