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.

    The food was really good. We’ve eaten here before and the food and service has always been amazing but this time I’m not really sure what happened. Our server was very short with us, any questions or concerns were not responded to great. Even trying to order a drink felt like we were an inconvenience to her. She did her quality check/table touch barely even stayed at the table for us to respond and we didn’t see her again for the rest of the night. We were done our meals and waited over 20 minutes, eventually I had to ask the host for our bill. We usually don’t leave reviews like this but some of the steps of service left us feeling not so great after dinner.

    Our group had high hopes of this being an exceptional experience being fans of the chef and the restaurant location. The biggest impact to our rating was the service from our waiter and the confrontational/inconvenienced demeanour they exuded. The one highlight of services was the amazing bartender who joined in our jokes and had a laugh when we asked them to make a special drink and offered to take a group picture of us, greatly appreciated. The food was below expectation for the value. Flavour was lacklustre with the exception of one of the starters which was the roasted tomatoes and focaccia bread. We specifically went here for the gluten and dairy free menu options, but fair warning do not order the gluten free bread, bring a dry sponge from your kitchen. Collectively we all agreed we won’t be going back, and wouldn’t recommend to other friends and family to try it out. Would love to share a different experience but unfortunately this is what we had.

    Great food, great service, but too slow! Took 40 mins to get appetizers and over an hour to get the main courses. They are lunch time sandwich plates and shouldn't take this long.

    This was an incredible dining experience. We ordered cocktails, shared plates and entrees and everything that landed on our table was delicious. The menu is daring and diverse, service is excellent, and it’s a beautiful place to hang out and have a leisurely meal with friends.

    Excellent service, food quality was amazing. Only drawback was the portions are very small for the price. Good for a light dinner, not for a hungry crowd though.
