An Iconic Chop House and Premier Whisky Destination
For Over Thirty Six Years, Buchanan’s Chop House and Whisky Bar has served delicious food in a classic Calgary location.
Michael and Carol Buchanan opened this neighbourhood icon in 1988, and the result is a family run, West Coast style restaurant that is true to the Chop house tradition. Buchanan’s proudly serves Alberta beef, pastas, soups and sauces – all made from scratch.
In the grand tradition of the chop house, they are proud to offer fresh fish, Cuts on the Bone, a world-class wine list, and one of Canada’s most extensive whisky lists to round out your experience. We have been family owned and operated from day one-and that will never change.
A neighborhood staple and favorite among the business lunch crowd, we're known for serving one of the best burgers in town.
Buchanan's is renowned for masterfully balancing sophisticated fine dining with welcoming casual charm, creating an atmosphere where exquisite culinary standards meet comfortable, unpretentious hospitality. This unique blend of refinement and warmth has become our signature approach to the dining experience.
Perfect for any occasion, Buchanan’s offers excellent service to impress the clients in the dining room; a world-class whisky list in our intimate bar; and one of Calgary’s favourite patios all summer long.
