  • Our Approach to Food
    We offer market-driven dishes that draw from Italian and Portuguese traditions while prioritizing seasonal, artisanal, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Our menus feature fresh pastas, house-cured meats, rotisserie prime rib of Alberta beef, and butcher cuts that are proudly showcased in our custom meat lockers. We also offer sustainable, Ocean Wise seafood options and a wide variety of vegetable-forward sharing plates under the "Butcher's Daughter" section of our menus. Our University District menu also exclusively features artisan pizzas that can be enjoyed in our lounge or main dining room.

    Owners Connie and John make it a priority to forge personal connections with local farmers, ranchers, and artisan producers in Alberta to not only source the highest quality ingredients, but also to strengthen and support local businesses and ignite a collaborative spirit throughout the city.

    Our Approach to Drinks
    Our beverage program is carefully curated and ever-evolving, featuring a rotating wine selection in partnership with Market Wines, signature ingredient-driven cocktails, and our very own collaborative craft beer.

    Custom Requests
    We are happy to accommodate custom food or beverage requests. From traditional to cultural requests, we ensure your menu reflects your story! Any guests with dietary restrictions, preferences, or allergies are provided with modifications or unique creations.
