Recognized as Canada’s Best New Restaurant of 2015 by Air Canada’s enRoute magazine, Pigeonhole was first dreamed up in the back of a London taxi. It was conceptualized as a place for spontaneity; a place you’d discover on your way to dinner and never leave. In the chef’s own words, the snack bar is "left of centre" with no specific culinary focus and includes a small but articulate natural wine, beer and cocktail list. Focused on serving small plates, the menu will give customers a culinary experience like no other in Calgary with creative dishes like the nori crumpets, tuna crudo and salted halibut perogies to share.
