I decided to visit Pigeonhole on 17th after hearing that the cast of The Last of Us stopped by, and it didn’t disappoint! I had a really flavorful and simple breakfast that was perfectly done. The ambiance is cool and laid-back, making it a nice spot to start the day. I’ve also heard they’ve opened a new location downtown, and I’m curious to check it out for lunch or dinner since my breakfast here was straightforward. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Came in for some dinner with a friend. Ordered the seafood platter and it was absolutely incredible! The smoked muscles were a real surprise and so delicious. That and the crab were my favourite, but everything was delicious. We also got multiple cocktails and they all had a fun and unique aspect to them. Sarah was our server and she was fantastic! She made our experience so wonderful, giving us detailed recommendations and explanations of each dish and answered any questions we had. Overall fabulous experience and will be coming in again. Thank you Sarah!

A great experience! We had the prawn cocktail, which was good but I probably wouldn't order it again, it didn't jump out as anything special. Then we had the Beef Tartar, it was delicious and the presentation was perfect. Following that, we had the charred cabbage and again it was awesome, full of flavor. Somehow we had room for the chicken schnitzel, I have never had chicken made this way and it was stunningly good! Finally our server, Justin, was super and made us feel welcome and was very relaxed. He is a real asset that I hope the management appreciate. We will be back!

Had a wonderful solo dinner here when travelling for work and enjoyed every dish and cocktail that I tried. I had the mushroom croquettes, the beef tartar, and the seafood ceviche - all were light, fresh, and tasty. The service staff here were fun and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. They were very helpful with all of my questions and I could feel that they wanted to make sure that I had the best dining experience possible. The tables are relatively closer together than other restaurants but I met a wonderful couple who sat next to me and enjoyed casual conversation with them all night so this worked in my favour. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area or if you're a fellow solo traveler.. you might just make some new friends!

We went in for breakfast on a ski trip and absolutely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was very polite and the music and atmosphere is very welcoming. Upon chatting with the chefs (super cute) a little bit as they have an open kitchen (amazing) they offered us a free desert. This place rocks!

Decided to try another one of Concorde’s restaurants. This is by far the best! The service was amazing as the server checked up on us multiple times and was super knowledgeable about the food. The hot dog was okay but rest of the items we got were 5/5. Charred cabbage was flavourful and well worth the price. Highly recommend this place.

Went to Pigeonhole before a Flames game for some food and a couple of drinks. Second best meal in a restaurant I've ever had, behind only a Michelin star. We had the scallop crudo, beef tartare, mushroom croquettes, and pickerel dish - all incredible. A little on the pricier side but you get what you pay for in quality.

Fantastic dinner last night - from the tunes to our table’s spirit animal, to the welcoming and attentive service! Cocktails were creative and delivered on taste. The food was awesome. We shared several dishes and they were all amazing. The beef tartare was a standout, but the roasted asparagus and pork belly were not far behind. The desserts were immense, delicious, and a perfect finish to the meal. A true memorable surprise to this trip to Calgary, thanks to the whole team, we had a great time!
