Model Milk

“ Amazing food and excellent service. Dropped by because Pedro Pascal said it was his favourite restaurant in Calgary and we had a great time. We got a seat by the kitchen and it was really fun watching them cook ”

“ Amazing service, atmosphere, and of course food! The stories you've heard about the fried chicken are true: it's delicious! And if you get the shared platter, be prepared to to bring some home. Our servers were attentive made sure that we always had clean dishes and full glasses, and made us feel right at home. I also loved that they had a diverse selection of non-alcoholic beverage: beers, cocktails and even a wine. My only regret is not having enough room to try more food. I'll definitely be back for the octopus. ”

“ We visited this restaurant after reading some great reviews, and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely amazing. We particularly enjoyed the fry bread, calamari, and pork—each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. A special thanks to Jamil, who introduced herself and the menu with such professionalism and care. Anna from Toronto ”

“ Great ambiance with the dimmed lights for dinner. The food is hearty and I especially enjoyed the fried chicken with biscuits. The portions are large so expect to take home some left overs. Not a place to visit if you wanna calorie count! Ahaha ”

“ After all these years, this is still one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary! Food: oh man, where to start. Basically, you can’t go wrong. For a table of 4, we tried the shrimp toastie, calamari, beef tartare, and... something else yummy (don’t recall what it’s called). And while they are all a hit, we enjoyed the calamari the most. The burger is always solid, but my friends enjoyed the halibut, flat iron steak and the chicken. Model milk does a great job making classics their own and memorable, while also doing the simple things well. Apple pie was a great way to finish such an awesome meal. Service: attentive, friendly, but still elevated enough to make customers feel special and that they are enjoying their time out. Our server however did make an error on our bill. Atmosphere: I love the vibe of model milk, industrial, elevated but not fussy. Great for any night out. Value: for the taste, quality and quantity I think it’s great value. Will be coming back time and time again, and on my highly recommended list! Make sure you make a reservation in advance. ”

“ Very nice place for dinner. Upscale atmosphere. The service was AWESOME. We had a reso at 8:15 and kept it but I mentioned it was a bit late and we may cancel. They called me back shortly after with an earlier seating. I really appreciated that. The waitress was super friendly and quick as well. 10/10. ”

“ We are here on a weekend getaway to Calgary and I did my research to find a great restaurant to try (I'm a big foodie) and I landed on Model Milk. Their menu is appealing, fresh ingredients, and a great selection of apps and entrees. Upon arrival, we were stunned with the beautiful "warehouse" feel to the inside. It's eclectic and interesting. The service was fantastic. To start I had the PEI pink moon oysters. The oysters themselves were wonderfully fresh, salty and buttery. The freshly grated horseradish was a nice bite to add on, and the fermented hot sauce was flavorful and had a great heat. I had the harissa glazed octopus, and my wife had the Icelandic cod. Both dishes were absolutely wonderful. The octopus was tender, the harissa left a nice spice note. The pickled elements and fresh herbs added layers of flavor throughout and the espelette puree was to die for. The cod was buttery and melted in your mouth, with the chicken skids adding a well needed crunch to the plate. The sauce was craveworthy, rich and creamy. Overall, a wonderful dining experience, will 100% return to try other dishes. ”

“ This is definitely a new favorite for me. Staff are super friendly, and the food was incredible. I loved everything I ate and can't wait to try more. My personal favorite, though, were the shrimp toasties. AND...the coleslaw that came with the fried chicken! The dressing was so light, smokey, and delicious. I dont know how they did it! They need to release a cookbook! Lol! ”
