Con Giannoulis Caesar’s Steak House & SPQR Lounge
S
ince opening Caesar’s 47 years ago, Con Giannoulis has seen his family-owned restaurant become a Calgary institution. Featuring exceptionally-prepared Alberta beef and professional service – including table-side presentation and the “Home of the Caesar cocktail” – Caesar’s has thrived through decades by remaining true to its classic foundation. Long before the trends of “eat local” and “open-concept kitchens,” there was Caesar’s. “My defining moment of success was when word quickly spread after we opened in 1972, and Caesar’s was soon jam-packed with businessmen, closing deals over rib-eye steak sandwiches, emperor-size three-ounce martini lunches and dinners fuelled with bottles of red wine. Caesar’s was called “the second Petroleum Club” as a lot of deals were being made here. The saying still goes around in Calgary that if you want a barometer on how the oilpatch is doing, stop by Caesar’s at lunch.” ~ Con Giannoulis, Owner
