In Calgary, Nupo offers a dining experience blending Japanese precision with a plant-forward philosophy, led by Chef Darren MacLean. Inspired by his mother’s love of plants, vegan recipes, and sushi, Chef MacLean highlights Canada’s bounty with dishes supported by the country’s only dry-aging fish chamber.

The dining room features vegan, vegetarian, and seafood-forward dishes, emphasizing seasonal ingredients, sustainability, and Japanese roots. The décor reflects Alberta’s landscapes, with birchwood accents, shale, and shou sugi ban-treated pinewood blending natural beauty and tradition.

Nupo’s bar program centers on Japanese teas, inventive cocktails, and an exclusive sake list to complement the menu. For sushi enthusiasts, Calgary’s first Omakase Sushi Experience offers seasonal sashimi, nigiri, and creative dishes. At Nupo, Chef MacLean delivers a vision of sustainable, plant-forward dining with artistry and precision.

  • The Nupo Omakase Sushi Experience

    $165.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Multiple dates available
    Omakase, as Chef Darren MacLean describes it, is a “gentle game of catch” between diner and chef—a dynamic experience where each course is adjusted in real time. At Nupo, this unfolds at a custom-built, 6-seat sushi counter over 17-20 meticulously crafted courses. Rooted in Japanese traditions, the omakase incorporates rare imports from Japan alongside Canada’s finest seafood, such as Newfoundland uni, PEI bluefin tuna, and New Brunswick sturgeon caviar. Each piece showcases precision, innovation, and the finest ingredients, including dry-aged Canadian Bluefin tuna, creating a refined, intimate journey that sets Nupo apart as one of Canada’s most distinguished sushi experiences.
