Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Duncan Ly

From the OpenTable editors: Bar Chouette lives up to its name - a French slang word for “cool” - with its buzzy vibe and killer cocktails. Chef Duncan Ly plays with French flavors and seasonal ingredients in dishes like hanger steak tartare with charcoal tapioca crackers. The drink menu shines just as brightly, offering riffs on staple sippers, like a rosemary brown butter old-fashioned.

    We come here often for happy hour. Food is terrific, especially the raw bar items and the croquettes. Mercifully, most wine bottles are under CAD 100 even before the happy hour discount. It was packed this Saturday evening so pacing of the dishes was a bit haphazard.

    Picked this spot for lunch as it was on my list, opened at lunch and close by my hotel. My server seemed new as I asked a few questions and they didn't seem aware of what the answers would be. Once I got my food, didn't see anyone come by again until my food was all done. Not sure what happened with my server. The milk buns were good. I enjoyed them. The grilled squid 🦑 was tasty. The aloi dip was nice. The lime was dry and I couldn't get any juice out of it but otherwise it was a good dish. They were redoing their mocktail list, so only had soda or two non-alcoholic drinks to pick from, which was a shame. I went to a few spots (Model Milk, Bar Gigi, and Donna Mac) this trip and they all had nice non-alcoholic options. Ok spot but I'd go back to a few of the other spots I went to on this trip...on my next visit to Calgary.

    Lovely waitress and very attentive good was good for the most part but over priced. It took way to long to get our food which consisted of appetizers and we were the only people in the restaurant. Might be the reason
    Bar ChouetteResponded on 11 November 2024
    Hello tracy, Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear our waitress took good care of you, but we’re sorry to hear that your experience fell short in other areas. We understand that waiting too long for food, especially when it’s quieter, can be frustrating. We’re actively working on ways to serve our guests more efficiently, and we’d love the opportunity to make it up to you. we would love to have you back to give us another chance to provide the great experience we’re committed to. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warm regards, Shamir and team
