Thank you for coming out and celebrating our 10th Anniversary with us! It's always a pleasure to share our love of food with such a passionate community. Here's to the next ten years, Calgary. ❤️

Did you know this clock has been around longer than us? It was the same clock that lived in the milk bar of the Model Milk Dairy back in the 30s. Here, Calgarians would enjoy milkshakes and the city’s largest five-cent ice cream cones. Today and for the past decade, Calgarians and beyond have come to enjoy our comforting and innovative food.

You're running out of time to enjoy these delightful dishes we've brought back in honour of our 10th Anniversary! Reserve now and celebrate with us before the end of the month.

We've brought back this decadent dish in honour of our anniversary. Pair it with one of our half-priced Sunday wines!

The postcards you see along the walls upstairs are part of a student project developed by Alison Andersen (.andersen) at NSCAD. Each postcard was hand-picked for its text and/or design at various antique and second-hand shops around Halifax. Intended to represent nostalgia, connection and storytelling, weaving these intimate messages and moments creates a greater continuous narrative, fitting for Model Milk and our unique history.

Sitting across from each other against the Model Milk wall in October 2014, Adam May and Christine had their first date, enjoying the Rib Eye (which has returned for our 10th Anniversary) and Calamari Fricassee (which has never left the menu!).

"I suppose the most memorable part of the date was sharing our first kiss in the Model Milk parking lot," recalled Adam.

Adam eventually proposed to Christine in Model Citizen, and they've been married now for seven years, regularly returning for date night. So, if you're wondering where to take that special someone, look no further. ❤️

Our building was around long before we made a mark on Calgary. Once the largest producing dairy in the province, the Model Milk Company was established in 1932 by James C. Colpitts, a dairy farmer and fox rancher from the Springbank district. During the Depression, it was challenging to find a market for agricultural products, so Colpitts formed the Calgary dairy to sell milk directly to city consumers.

Built by contractor Fred Jones, the dairy is a great example of utilitarian brick-faced Modern architecture. The building is of structural interest because no wood was used in its construction, which was felt to be unsanitary in case of spillage. Although the building has been redeveloped with new interior changes, the exterior has remained largely unchanged.
