Pigeonhole 17th

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.

My bestie and I decided to try something new, and it was not a great experience. Right when you walk in, it smells like an outhouse. We were ordering the mushroom croquettes - and the person who was taking our order thought it was appropriate to correct me trying to say pronounce it. The presentation of the food was lovely, but the taste did not match how it looked. The best thing about Victorias Full Breakfast was the salad - everything else was quite bland, and the hashbrown was quite overseasoned with Old Bay. (I didn't mention it to the wait staff as I didn't eat the hashbrown until the end of the meal.)

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!

First of all, the staff were very friendly and kind, and my wife and I really enjoyed the food. I am used to Korean raw beef, but this was my first time eating beef tartare (French food). Surprisingly, it was delicious! Very tender and flavorful! My wife has never eaten raw beef before, but she took a sample bite. She was so surprised by the taste that she ate the whole half of it. The cabbage was so well cooked, tender and moist. The mayonnaise and cheese went really well with the cabbage. The mushroom croquettes (6 pcs) are also special. After eating croquettes at a Spanish tapas restaurant, I became a huge fan of croquettes and these mushroom croquettes are also as great as ones in Spain.

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!

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!

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!

My friend and I went here for the first time for brunch and our server David was really great! The music and vibes of the restaurant were superb, my only concern is the smell that hits you when you first walk in which was noted by a few other reviewers so it’s likely a regular thing. The mushroom coquettes were super tasty and the skinny fries were really good. Unfortunately we weren’t fans of the orange soufflé pancakes due to the strong licorice taste- fortunately our server recommended we shared due to the density of a single portion which was great advice. The texture of the pancakes was nice though. The hash browns were mid in my opinion, I didn’t love or hate them. All of the other staff was super friendly and everyone we saw as we exited wished us well. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu.
