It’s been a big month for restaurant openings in Calgary, with both new and familiar names popping up all over the city.
We always love to see restaurants thrive, and plenty of the city’s biggest names expanded with new locations in April.

Charcut has been a staple in the YYC food scene for years, but now, it’s finally opened its second location in the University District.
While the spot is known for its charcuterie and rotisserie meats (and we’d highly recommend checking out some of those dishes), Charcut’s new offering has plenty of light and flavourful veggie options.
Address:Â 4150 University Avenue NW, Calgary

The restaurant offers everything from sushi, ramen, and katsu. Diners can also pre-order Ryuko’s kaiseki, a beautifully designed bento box with nine different dishes to try.
