Our story

At Tonic Kitchen + Bar, we bring together food, cocktails and a laid-back atmosphere at Calgary Airport. Our mission is to provide extraordinary service paired with an exemplary menu, from our Tonic Burger with signature Tonic BBQ Sauce to house-cut fries and comforting Tonic Mac + Cheese. We put our own spin on classic favourites and welcome guests for breakfast, family dinners, cocktails and casual lunches.Our story began with a vision for the perfect gin and tonic. We discovered Porter’s Tonic Syrup in our own Calgary backyard, an all-natural tonic made with organic agave nectar, real fruit juice and botanical cinchona bark. Guests can pair the syrup’s distinctive flavours with gin or vodka while enjoying our food-focused, full-service restaurant and bar.

We dined at Tonic Kitchen & Bar during our stay at Hotel Clique, using the $10 voucher given at check-in.Service was just okay—nothing particularly memorable, but no major issues either. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The chicken wings were overcooked, dry, and overloaded with sauce. The tempura shrimp tasted like it was likely frozen, and we’ve definitely had much better elsewhere. The Waldorf salad was decent, but heavily skewed toward apples and could use better balance. The chicken tacos were the biggest miss—just not enjoyable at all.It’s a convenient option being right in the hotel, but based on our experience, we wouldn’t dine here again. That said, we would absolutely stay at Hotel Clique again—it’s just the restaurant we’d skip next time.

Probably one of the better hotel based restaurants that I've been to in recent memory. The pricing with certainly more fair than what you get at other hotels.I ordered the butter chicken with my expectations tempered because I figured being attached to a hotel sometimes those restaurants are way overpriced and the quality is mid at best. I was beyond surprised at the quality, taste and amount of butter chicken. It honestly tasted better than many Indian restaurants I have been to. The naan bread was also very warm and tasty to where I ordered extra.Tried the smoked old fashioned and I believe it was called a true north cocktail that was made with crown royal and maple syrup with bitters. The smoked old fashioned what's perfect with Woodford reserve. The other drink was okay but I probably

After trying all 242 eateries in Vernon, the quest crossed provincial borders into Alberta.I had to stay at Hotel Clique due to a canceled flight.This restaurant is open until 1am.Staff was friendly.I bought nachos with a protein add on and extra sour cream, a fountain soda, and vanilla gelato for $44.10 after tax but before tip. I had $45 in meal vouchers which was perfect.I recommend eating here instead of the casino across the parking lot.

I had such an amazing experience at Tonic Kitchen and Bar! Even though they were unexpectedly busy due to high flight traffic at the airport, the food was incredible, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything felt thoughtfully done. What truly made the morning stand out though was our server, Mary. She was absolutely fantastic; so friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring about our experience and hearing about my partners trip to Japan.Mary checked in at the perfect times, and brought such a positive energy to the table. It’s rare to come across service that makes you feel that taken care of. She really made the whole evening special.If you’re visiting Tonic Kitchen and Bar, definitely ask for Mary you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back!

Tonic Kitchen + Bar at Hotel Clique Calgary exceeded expectations. I took dinner on d day of my arrival and breakfast on the next day. The food was consistently fresh, flavourful, and well prepared, with generous portions and a menu that offers something for everyone. The atmosphere is modern, comfortable, and perfect for both travellers and locals. What truly made the experience memorable was the service — especially Mary, our server. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. Her warm personality and professionalism stood out and added so much to the meal. Highly recommend dining here if you’re staying nearby or passing through.

Mary is a wonderfully friendly and helpful server at breakfast !!! I was so happy to catch up with her as always. She along with Ilona the shuttle bus driver are always the highlights of my stay at the Hotel Clique. The food at the Tonic Kitchen just keeps getting better and better!!! The cooks are extremely talented, the BEST yet. The featured burger & salad last night and the French toast ( cinnamon swirl brioche), eggs, fruit and fruit/yogurt smoothie this morning were absolutely heavenly !!!

The service was friendly and attentive, making the visit even better. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend for a nice meal or drinks with friends!

My family and I had breakfast there after staying at the airport hotel for one night. We were in a rush. Out server, Mary, was extremely helpful in serving the food quick and offering to pack our unfinished food and drinks. A delightful morning with lots of smiles and a full stomach.

I had a business dinner here and it was fabulous! We ordered the buffalo chicken flatbread, the beef vindaloo and the salmon. Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious. Tonic is definitely one of the best restaurants near Calgary Airport. I highly recommend this place.
