Led by co-chefs and co-owners John Jackson and Connie DeSousa, CHARCUT Roast House is one of Canada’s most lauded restaurants.
The restaurant’s every detail – from the reclaimed local barn wood panelling to the mason jar chandeliers – transports the authenticity and soul of local, farm-fresh producers and their flavourful ingredients to downtown’s most energetic restaurant and bar.
With house butchered meats, homemade preserves, seasonal menus, thoughtfully created cocktails, local craft beers, and a bustling open kitchen, Jackson, DeSousa and CHARCUT are helping put Calgary on the world’s culinary map.

    Drinks were overpriced, especially when considering the lack of quality/quantity. The Bone Marrow Escargot dish was difficult to consume, and the amount of escargot in the dish itself was questionable.

    Good value for the meal, especially if you don't eat out a lot like us. Great food and enough plus a lovely caramel dessert. The location is great for the theatre and concert halls downtown too.

    Charcut is one of my favorite spots for a business lunch. Great menu, fresh, delicious and flavorful food, and the lunch specials are one of the best values in town (and are prepared quickly). Definitely a place I will continue to return to.

    I've always enjoyed my experience at Charcut. I normally go for lunch and get the sandwich lunch special. I went with a group of 4 and the waitress was pretty dismissive. She did not inform us that Aioli would be an upcharge of $3. All four of us got Aioli which came to a $12 upcharge. While an upcharge for extra sauce makes sense, $3 is ridiculous, especially when we were not informed by it. The waitress overall was not very kind and dismissive that left us with a negative experience.

    A great lobby bar to hang out in for drinks and snacks prior to going to the theatre - pleasant music and atmosphere, and great food. Matthew the bartender was awesome.
