Workshop Kitchen + Culture - Calgary, Alberta

What a lovely evening! The food was delicious, the flavours were well thought out and planned, the wine pairings were perfect. The atmosphere was unique - a little bit dark/moody yet pleasant. I loved that the quality of food wasn’t accompanied with a pretentious vibe - I felt as comfortable ... as I would have in a friend’s kitchen. My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner and was given such thoughtful attention. Our waiter was so helpful and enjoyable to chat with - a big reason we want to come back. We decided to try the 5 course improv meal and absolutely loved every bit of it - what a great option for a menu! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves food and appreciates creativity. Read more

Lovely place! The food tasted delicious, the highlight was actually the starter: the schnitzel! It was the best I ever had! They use huge plates, so at the first look you think is not much food for the price, but I left the table feeling full.

Ambiance is very unique and cool. Service was really good by both the kitchen and our server; excellent suggestion for wine (off the menu) and making sure we had enough of everything for the table. At no point did we ever have to refill our glasses or look around for ... assistance and yet our conversation was not once interrupted. The food (and specifically the brussel sprouts) was absolutely delicious! We visited as a small group (4) for a birthday celebration and honestly we are still talking about the wonderful experience. From beginning to end, we had a fabulous time! Can’t wait to go back! Read more

I like the food and ambiance. It’s a cool space within the theatre. The food is great, and I would really like to come back to try the tasting menus. It’s apparently what they are known for, and a really good experience. We ordered a bunch of appies and sides to share, ... and would recommend the following: - Gnocchi - Scallops - Beef Carpaccio - Grilled Romaine Read more

What a fantastic adventure in food this was. If you have heard of the workshop then likely you have heard of their "improv" offering. For those that haven't, this is a meal option where the chef chooses what to serve. This comes in 3 and 5 course options along ... with drink pairing if you like. We decided on the 5 course and we weren't disappointed. We were not in a rush and I will say that this option does take some time (about 2 hours for me and my wife). The service was terrific from our server Bobby. His level of attention was perfect, always there when needed but subtle in his delivery of the meal. I will definitely be going back for another food adventure sometime soon. Can't wait to see what I get next time. Read more
