We are participating in the exemptions restriction program. To dine with us you will require Gov't ID AND Proof of valid vaccination OR proof of negative test within 72 hours (private not AHS test) OR proof of medical exemption.

The Mediterranean influenced cuisine paired with great wine and exceptional service. Located in the Calgary downtown core we are well accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the corporate lunch crowd and delight in the opportunity to serve our clientele both efficiently and consistently with our good old-fashioned familiar Escoba ways. Our evenings are a bit more quiet and perfect for catching up with an old friend, getting a bite to eat before or after a movie, or even just an impromptu drink and bite with family... did we mention we also host private events for a variety of sizes? We hope to serve you soon!

    Thank you for VIP. It was special to me. The wait staff were energetic and excellent. Much success on your move! Appetizers, Main/wine/dessert selection (we all had separate items) that they recommended were superb. Enjoyed sending photos to Bonnie. I enjoyed your coming out to greet us. My family was very impressed. We would come back if it was possible. Thank you for the desserts - they were great, you rock! Cheers Rev Ruth

    By far one of my favorite venues for ambiance, service and of course above all delicious FOOD! Escoba is a timeless experience with consistent service and a menu that will satisfy any craving. Highly recommend a visit before they close their doors permanently on Feb. 10th, 2022.

    A truly memorable luncheon date. Ambience was very European, and the cork decor reminded me of my time in Portugal. Food was extraordinary: flavours,portions,temperatures could not be rivaled. Service was Exemplary! checking to see if everything was wonderful, great recommendations, and excellent manner with customers. Wish that you were still staying in Calgary!!
