It was AMAZING! I booked a reservation for my sister's bachloate party and it was above our expectations. The place is nicely renovated and with such cute details. The tea selection was good and could order a coffee as well. The food was delicious and thoughtful. Our waitress was super sweet, she was detailed and when we asked if she could take pictures of us she took a bunch from different angels. Would come back here again!

Charcut came to us as a local favorite while visiting in Calgary. It completely lived up to expectations. The ambience is warm and contemporary, and the food is excellent, with a focus on local meats and produce. The wine list is terrific, especially on Wednesdays when it is 50% off. Especially high marks for the service team: fun, friendly, and excellent advisors on the menu.
