Sustainability: The Coup is 100% wind-powered, composts kitchen waste, recycles extensively, and plants 36 trees per month. We use minimal, compostable packaging and actively reduce our carbon footprint through energy-efficient systems and local sourcing practices.

Hospitality: Our philosophy is built on warmth, attentiveness, and authenticity. We welcome each guest as if inviting them into our home, creating a space where connections are fostered and every guest feels valued.

What Calgary Residents Say About The Coup

"This place is nothing less than awesome. The service, the food and the place. We being vegetarians this place was perfect and George the owner would recommend the best dishes to order. The food was very delicious. Apart from food George would talk to customers and if you are new in Canada he would tell you where to visit and what to do. If you in Calgary then not a place to miss!"

- Neel S., from Nairobi

"This is a great spot for quality-forward vegetarian and vegan meals. It's the first time I ate at The Coup, and I was very impressed. From the tempting menu items that all live up to and surpassed the descriptions, to the upbeat music, to the 'Spirit Ware' table setting and homespun napkins, everything was great and tasty."

- Caroline W., from Ottawa

"Had dinner here a few weeks ago and left so immensely impressed. Beautiful menu, friendly staff, good service. We tried the gyoza and eggplant nigiri for starters, and satay for mains. The food was to die for, even the carnivore hubby agreed. Their sangria was also delicious. Highly recommended!"

- Justine28, from Yellowknife

"We went there on our last night in Calgary and were really glad we did. We shared a bowl of corn chowder and both agreed it was one of the best soups that we had ever tasted. The restaurant has a cosy casual feel to it. The staff are very helpful and very knowledgeable about the food that they serve. If you are vegetarians or vegans or just like really tasty good food then I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough."

- Lady Traveller P., from Wellington

"Had the spicy tofu rice bowl and it was delicious - the service was efficient and friendly. Our host was great putting up with all of our requests. Cool wall plants bring great energy to the place. Happy hour (after 3pm) had some good specials offered."

- Zaboo M., Calgary
