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, new menus daily, Canada’s first beer steward overseeing cellared international brews, and a bustling open kitchen, Jackson, DeSousa and CHARCUT are helping put Calgary on the world’s culinary map.


Award Winning

Upon opening CHARCUT was named to Canada's top 10 new restaurants by enRoute Magazine. The restaurant gains consistent high acclaim today.

Diners delight in the menu that changes daily 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 Slow Roasted Heirloom Beets. Other noteworthy dishes include rotisserie chicken, flat-iron steak and pig's head mortadella.

Pop in for a pint and plate of duck-fat poutine or house made charcturie 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 orchestrated, live-action open kitchen and interact with the chefs. Each experience is part of the CHARCUT charm.
