Tremendous food, accommodating staff who will hang up your coat, and they are always eager to inform if you are new to this style of dining or any of the ingredients used. Try the Tempeh!
The people at the Coup are so pleasant and the good is to die for!!! This is a must I you have not eaten here before. They use healthy ingredients and are very welcoming and tend to your needs! Very friendly staff!!
I honestly don't like Eating out at all, but when I find something I like and that is healthy, I love it! These guys are amazing, I want to keep coming back! Worth the trip from Red Deer!
The waffles are a must!!! Crispy on the outside, but not too crispy that it is hard to eat and on the inside it's dense and soft and thick!!! Exactly how I like them!!!
[Starters]
1) gyoza
2) chard
3) crispy cauliflower wings
WORTH The gyoza was the best in all the starters we had.
NOT WORTH: The chard dish wasn’t worth it and the cauliflower wings were nothing special
[Main Course]
1) Hotpot
Was pretty good, would give it a 3/5 as something I’d get in any other restaurant but this was a vegan dish so I guess that makes it something special. Missed out on trying the dragon bowl but will do next time
[Drinks]
1) Cuke Collins
2) blueberry fizz
3) kombucha gimlet
WORTH: the fizz and the gimlet were super good and worth it
NOT WORTH: cuke colline.. was pretty meh
[Desserts]
1) Alberta potato donuts
2) asparagus & pistachio cheesecake
WORTH: both were quite yummy but the cheesecake tops the donuts as they tasted quite different (yet really good!). The donuts, taste wise, was really good but it tasted normal like the dessert you can get at Denny’s.
Accompanied by and recommended by a dear friend we opted dine at The Coup one evening while in city. Contrary to expectations, the place churns out excellent vegetarian dishes with extensive selection of local craft beers besides serving regular drinks. My Greek Goddess bowl was excellent, flavoursome and filling too. So was the Spring Bud Ramen ordered by my daughter.
Pleasant ambience and friendly people adds to the experience for sure.
Though a bit pricey yet a place worth a visit even if you are an established carnivore!. Just a bit of advice, do make a reservation rather than just popping up...
The Coup is easily the best vegetarian restaurants I have been to. I have been here a few times and have never been disappointed.
The staff is always very nice which adds to the positive experience.
I ordered the Upstream Burger with yam fries and a garlic aioli. The portion size was great for the price, and they give you a lot dip (so yummy)!
I also tried one of their fresh juices (apple, carrot and ginger) which was very refreshing and delicious. You can make your own by adding up to three ingredients!
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, vegetarian or not! :)
I came here with a close friend of mine and we both have multiple dietary restrictions. The Coup was able to provide options for both of us, as well as the other two people that were with us. M friend and I ordered the tarttufo bianco ice cream sandwich, which is TO DIE FOR! 😍 I would honestly marry this desert - it was that good! What made it even better is that it's both gluten free and vegan so my friend and I were able to share it.
The coup is a beautiful little vegetarian restaurant on 17th ave. The menu is extensive and has tons of vegan and gluten free options. They proudly use fresh local organic produce when available and it’s always served up quick and delicious. The staff have been great every time I’ve come in, which makes the experience even more pleasant. I would have rated the coup higher but this last time I went in I found the prices to be higher and the portions were smaller than the last time I visited. Still, not a huge game changer. The cocktails are great too.
This was a first for me. A completely vegetarian/vegan restaurant, but I'm open minded and tried it. The food was really good and pretty flavourful. I was actually surprised by the flavour of the food. My favourite dish was the celery tart as an appetizer. The service was top notch. Two criticisms: 1. It did take a little too long between ordering the food and the food coming out to the table (around 30-40 mins) and 2. It was a bit pricey for the amount of food we did get.
The Coup is a good option for those Vegetarians/Vegans out there. As an omnivore, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful the food was, and I wouldn't be shocked if I did come back to try some other items from their menu.
So yummy. I can see why the ratings are so high. Everything I tried had so much flavour and I was extremely satisfied. I even took one of their vinegar shots and surprisingly liked it. The customer service was also great and super friendly. I am definitely coming back to try other things on the menu!
Just the loveliest place, Veg or not. The flavors are incredible, the portion sizes are great, the cocktails are delicious. The atmosphere is good vibes for sure.
I always find the food comes out so fast and hot, and the wait staff are so nice. Sometimes they get a little flustered because its a hot spot, but the food is absolutely worth it.
The eggplant sleeping bags, Tempeh Shawarma, and Quesadilla are must try's.
Also! Go. For. Brunch. The Messy Jessy is friggin life changing. (Pictured)
This was my second time at The Coup. I used it as a means to balance the grease of the Stampede midway. It is the real deal of restaurants.
Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Love that they setup tables with lots of water bottles. One waitress almost seemed excited to split our bill at the end of the meal. Such a change from many other places. Must be the kombucha 😉
Cocktails are well thought out and very delicious. Love that they're not your standard fare.
The table all ended up getting the ramen noodles or the hot pot. The ramen noodles were savory and served with a very bright and and fresh chilled sauce. The hot pot is citrusy and filled with a variety of soft and crunchy veg. Everyone enjoyed it all.
I have two minor criticisms that will not prevent me from coming back. 2oz is industry standard for $12 cocktails, not 1.5oz. The menu, while delicious, has basically not changed in the 2 yrs since I've been there.
Haven't you heard?!? Going vegan is possible... this place shows you that you don't need meats to have an EXTREMELY tasty meal... everything and I mean everything here is just outstanding. Couldn't give this place more love!
My wife and I went here for dinner and can say that we really enjoyed it. Service is excellent here with friendly and helpful servers who are always able to offer good suggestions and are happy to swap or adjust things to your liking. Food is amazing and is perfect for those that are vegan or plant based. The flavours are incredible and you can't get enough of it. We will definitely be back to keep trying different things on the menu.
Being vegetarians is not easy most times when we want to eat out. Coup has many Vegetarian and vegan options. The food was delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. I felt food is little pricey although the portions were big. Overall our experience at coup was very nice.

This wasn't my first time eating here, and definitely won't be my last.
Even though it's not a fully vegan establishment, a good amount of the menu is or can be made to be (which is highly appreciated).
My meal was excellent and I usually like to try most of or an entire menu before leaving a review, but I think it's safe to say this is a solid spot that I'll be returning to.
The food is great, the drinks are unique, and the music sets a nice vibe to go along with the decor. I'm looking forward to trying out the space come summer.
Additionally, I think this is one of the best spots in the city to come to if you want to introduce anyone to plant based cuisine.
About out to my super cool server Emelia, she deserves kudos for doing a great job; and also to the kitchen staff who got everything out perfectly.
I really enjoyed my time there and can't wait to be back and recommend it to others.
Easily in my top 🖐🏿 spots for a "✌🏿e g a n" to treat themself.
My first ever vegetarian experience was at The Coup! I went there when visiting Calgary and absolutely loved it.
They serve a welcome shot (shrub shot) which really helps with digestion!
I got Grilled Treehouse Sandwich with Tofu and sweet potato wedges. The portion was for 2.
** Note that they charge $2 for dipping sauce and it’s NOT worth it!!**
One of my favorites for over a decade. So aware and accommodating for food sensitivities and allergies. Great variety of menu that anyone can find something they love! Fresh, healthy and delicious. Ambiance and service are both fantastic. Cocktails are exceptional as well
We had an absolutely amazing lunch at The Coup today!
I let my wife pick our lunch spot, and I have to say I was nervous when she picked the all vegan / veggie joint... I was WRONG.
To start the service and staff are so kind and helpful I just can't rave about them enough. Our server was Olive and she absolutely deserves a special shout out - you were so kind and took time to explain the menu to us (mostly me) thank you so much.
The food was, and this is coming from a BBQ / steak girl, FANTASTIC. We had the Satay Bowl and I enjoyed a big bowl of housemade daily soup (sweet potato and onion) with some yummy sour dough. Where the heck is the picture of the soup? I ate it before she could get a picture!! I can't wait to try the Treehouse Sandwich next time.
In short if your wife / partner / friend WHOEVER asks you to try the Coup and you're nervous because vegetarian or vegan isn't your thing - DO IT it's so worth it. Tasty food is tasty food and The Coup has got it in Spades!
Definitely returning. The shawarma is AMAZING. It is better than any meat shawarma I have had.
We also ordered the regular benedit. They messed up my soup. I was told it's tomato soup but came out to be coconut chicken and that happened to be my least favorite thing. The crossiant was quite oily, thin cut. The egg was cooked perfectly.
Shawarma is perfect though
