Beautifully presented appetizer of Tuna Crudo with Salsa Verde. Each piece, topped with a teeny sliced shallot, the tiniest perfectly cubed pickled apple and zucchini and fried capers is a very tasty miniature work of art. Thank you to @thebarchouetteyyc @chefdly Chef Colby Tio and his team. #canadas100best #avenuemagazinecalgary #calgarydining #hosted by @chefdly

It’s no secret that @thebarchouetteyyc has fast become one of my frequent go-to spots. @chefdly’s young culinary team is really killing their latest menu! Chefs @colbyxtio and @t_b0hn are knocking out some seriously banger plates!

I absolutely adore their duck with foie gras cassoulet. It’s totally chef’s kiss.

And you shouldn’t overlook their fresh pasta features made by chef @t_b0hn, no matter how unassuming and simple they may sound. Case in point, his butter noodles are made with love and the texture is simply exquisite. Without a doubt, this is some of the best pasta in town!

I’m also obsessed with their steak frites, featuring rotating cuts of @lakeside_farmstead wagyu, triple cooked potatoes, and the most delicious peppercorn sauce. Personally, I’m partial to the bavette and flat iron cuts, and will hold out until those cuts are on feature. 🤌🏻 I should also mention that these steak frites taste even better paired with a glass of the 2014 Domaine Capelanel Pech Petit!

Here are some of my faves from their latest menu:

🦉pork rinds
maple syrup, Montreal spices

🦉tuna crudo
vin cotto, salsa verde, fried capers
🍷2024 Domaine de l’Epinay Sauvignon Gris

🦉blistered snap peas
straccietella, soy vinaigrette, pistachio

🦉butter noodles
fresh tagliolini, butter, parmesan
🍷2024 Magellan Chardonnay

🦉duck breast
foie gras cassoulet, manhattan demi glace, bbq greens
🍷2023 Gerard Bertrand Le Chouchou

Is it acceptable to marry a bowl of pasta? Asking for a friend. 🙋‍♂️🍝

Meet the feature: handmade pappardelle smothering in a slow-braised pork shoulder, beef tongue, and bone marrow ragù. Unapologetically rich and insanely delicious.

You’re going to want extra bread for this sauce. Trust us.

Still dreaming about our dinner @thebarchouetteyyc last weekend. @chefdly's young culinary team is really killing it! Chefs @colbyxtio and @t_b0hn are definitely ones to watch! I was so impressed with their feature creations - the flavors were precise, balanced and the execution flawless on these plates! And the pairings by @yeti.drink.coffee.ridin.a.trex were spot on to further enhance each dish.

I love their new take on the Tuna Tataki served with a miso salsa verde, which will hit the menu soon. But the dishes that truly blew me away were @t_b0hn's exquisite Tortellini en Brodo and @colbyxtio's Crispy Duck Breast Foie Gras Cassoulet, which instantly transported me to the south of France.

Of course, their Steak Frites with rotating cuts of @lakeside_farmstead beef and crispy triple cooked potatoes did not fail to impress and is one of my top favorite steak frites in the city currently.

With plates like these, Bar Chouette is undoubtedly fast becoming one of my regular go-to spots!

On the table:

🦉Tuna Tataki
Miso salsa Verde topped with shallots, green apple, pickled zucchini, fried capers, pickled shallots vin cotto

🦉Cucumber Salad
creme fraiche chili crisp, fried shallots, chili threads

🍹 Le Crocodile
Gin, Midori, Soda, Ginger liqueur, Lemon, Chartreuse, and Absinthe

🦉Tortellini en Brodo
