Our server Lauren was most accomodating from the get-go. She seated us quickly and had recommendations for appitizers and main courses. We had lunch for 4 persons and everyone was completly satisfied. Great place, easy to find, on 10th at 8th... sw ottawa

This place is so fantastic! I'm yet to have something here that I don't enjoy. I love the breakfasts (with tofu as a replacement for eggs) and the falafel quesadilla is to die for. Best hot beverages with breakfast and great cocktails too! Everything is great! Including the service!! Highly recommended.

Went to the Coup for lunch while visiting Calgary on a Saturday afternoon. The wait was extremely long - to get a seat, as well as to get the food. We saw another table visibly aggravated at having to wait 30+ minutes to get their order. It is a pretty hipster place, so if you just want to hang out... More

Went for breakfast at 11 on a saturday - got a seat right away and then the place filled up right behind me. My girlfriend and I both ordered their waffles - she had the yogurt/apricot and i had the maple/banana/coconut butter version. All so good. It's really small and cozy, but definitely caters to all varieties of people and... More

The coup is great restaurant located on 17 ave. Even though the menu is vegetarian, the food is so good that a steak lover like myself still comes here every time I'm home for a visit. The menu has several solid options, ranging some appetizers to wraps, to bowls and salads, and numerous substitutions (GF/DF) which makes it easy to... More

I ordered a few items. The humus appetizer was very difficult to eat as it was served in a martini glass with chips on top, making the humus almost inaccessible(with no plates to eat it off of either.) The pasta had a very odd flavor, and telling the waitress I didn't like it she said I would be charged for... More

Being from a small town and usually only able to order one thing off any menu (usually bland and uninventive!) I was so so so happy to find The Coup! I've just been today and I was thoroughly thrilled with the menu, the staff, the atmosphere and the service! A friend and I shared the satay tofu with vermicelli and... More
