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 loved our experience so much. We came for the YYC Food experience and it was a total win. We got the 45$ set menu and we were wowed with everything. Each course was 10/10, but the steak (and all the components on the plate) was incredibly delicious. Our group of four actually fell silent after the first bite! It was just so good. The service was excellent, our server Izzy never rushed us once. We happened to arrive for happy hour so the wine was on sale and the Syrah was great as well! I will certainly be back!

I’ve been to this place in the past and have loved it, but this time not so much. The food and drinks were both subpar. Definitely not somewhere I would come back to. Very unfortunate.

You can tell there's so much thought behind every single ingredient. The flavours and presentation were amazing. Sitting at the bar was fun because you can see all the kitchen hustle and bustle. The value at happy hour is 10/10 and the staff are super friendly (even when you pick every item on the happy hour list minutes before cut off lolssss) I hope this restaurant becomes a calgary staple for years to come. Highly reccomend!
