Saying Goodbye: Calgary restaurants that have closed their doors recently
We always hate to see a restaurant closure, and over the course of the last month, there have been a fair few departures from Calgary’s food scene.
The restaurant industry is notoriously tricky, and while some spots are short-lived, others are able to hang around for decades before closing. Regardless of the circumstances, the restaurants will be sorely missed.
Here are some of the most significant restaurant closures we’ve seen in Calgary recently.
Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House

For 15 years, Tamarind Vietnamese Grill & Noodle House has been a staple for Vietnamese cuisine in Calgary. However, in a heartfelt message on social media, the Nguyen family, who operate the restaurant, shared the news that Tamarind would be closing its doors.
“After more than 15 wonderful years serving Calgary, it breaks our family’s hearts to share that after today’s dinner service (Tuesday, September 30) we are forced to close our doors,” the family said in an Instagram post.

September saw the closure of the restaurant, The Office, after 18 months. The spot was known for bringing beachy vibes to the downtown area.
However, its sister restaurant, Barcelona Tavern, will be relocating into the space, so it won’t be vacant for long.

Re:Grub, which is known for its enormous burgers and milkshakes, has officially closed the doors at its 625 11th Ave. SW location after 10 years in business.
“This was not an easy decision, but we truly believe we gave it our all,” the team said in an Instagram post.
Despite the loss in the Beltline, the team assured it was not a goodbye as Re:Grub will still be operating at its Deerfoot City outpost.
