The Coup specializes in vegetarian cuisine and can accommodate gluten free and vegan dinners. They seasonally change their menu which makes it difficult to pick a favorite but the last time I was there I had the dish, giant panda, so delicious. They never disappoint.

Ice cream is my favourite thing, followed by roasted marshmallows. I absolutely love their "Happy Camper" sundae! You can purchase single scoop cones of ice cream, or take away pints of their most popular flavours.
