Charcut Roast House

PIONEERING ALBERTA’S URBAN-RUSTIC FOOD SCENE
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.

CHARCUT works with honest, seasonal ingredients from small, local artisan farms and ranches to create flavourful, unpretentious dishes from scratch.

Diners delight in the menu that changes seasonally and features a selection of house-made sausage and cured meats, as well as fresh cheeses and ‘Table Snacks’ like Bone Marrow au Gratin and fresh made pasta. Other noteworthy dishes include rotisserie chicken, butcher steak and pig’s head mortadella.

Pop in for a pint and duck-fat poutine or house made charcuterie at the communal table in the bar or intimate sidewalk seating. Stage a great night out with friends or family in the raised semi private enclave.
CHARCUT’s lunch-all-at-once can be enjoyed in just 45-minutes and comes with a bag of freshly baked cookies to go. Settle in for a multi-course late-night feast to share and remember at a banquette table. Or vie for a spot at the eating bar, overlooking the live-action open kitchen and interact with the chefs. Each experience is part of the CHARCUT charm.

Calgary’s food scene is the talk of culinary critics’ and is on the map of Canadian musts. As an urban and cultural centre, surrounded by Alberta’s prairie pastures, Calgary offers distinctly local, fresh, and organic inspiration to chefs. Many local restaurants have adopted a farm-to-plate philosophy, in which they source products from the array of producers in the region. CHARCUT believes the secret to this philosophy is building strong relationships and partnerships with farmers, ranchers, and producers. Each dish on CHARCUT’s menu has local roots that you can taste in every bite. Chefs take care to evolve the simplest organic ingredients into dishes acclaimed for flavour and presented to share, naturally.

CHARCUT Roast House’s uniquely Albertan offer of urban-rustic cuisine dished up in sleek downtown digs makes for one of Calgary’s most exciting and popular restaurants. Located at 899 Centre Street SW in downtown Calgary, Alberta and is open daily including late-nights.
