This new concept will focus on using “Mediterranean flavours” with “Canadian terroir” to create modern dishes that are heavily seasonal, unpretentious, and ingredient oriented.
Calgarians will have the opportunity to try the kitchen’s creativity at its upcoming pop-up in the Grain Exchange Building. This pop-up, working out of the Meat and Bread location, started on Saturday, June 3 and runs from 5:30 to 9:30 pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The menu is subject to change, especially during the pop-up phase, but some of the initial dishes will include homemade brioche with brown butter and honey, bacon and rabbit pate, and albacore tuna with a fennel crust.
