The 50 best pancakes in Alberta

First time trying Queens! I liked it! I like their bennys are on croissant and they serve thick bacon! The brioche French toast is a must try! Coffee was so so. Atmosphere was amazing though. Highly recommend to make reservation, if you do not want to wait as they get really busy. Parking is more of an issue. It is very limited or you’ll have to find street parking which is also very minimal.

What a gem of a place. Loved the deco, ambience and sounds here. The food and service was excellent. My wife are visiting from out of town and found this on our last day. Best breakfast we’ve had all through out our trip. The Queen’s Breakfast was excellent for me. My wife enjoyed her Garlic Buttered Poached Prawns. The Cold Coffee Martini with Affogato Ice Cream was delicious. Happy stomachs!!! 😋

After trying for a long time finally hit the jackpot!! This place was highly recommended to visit. I tried reservations before but was always booked. Luckily got reservations and an amazing experience. From reaching to be to seated with no time. Service was quick yet place was super packed. Menu serves some amazing dishes. We indulged in the Smoked Wild Salmon Benedict perfectly balanced with fried capers and horseradish crème fraîche. The Cheeseburger & Frites was juicy and satisfying, both tasted yum, while the Fried Chicken & Waffles delivered that perfect crispy and sweet combo we crave. I find the fried chicken dish perfect for kids. For drinks, the star of the day (half sweet) Cioccolata Cassanova hot chocolate was absolutely fab rich, smooth, and beautifully layered with mint cream and chocolate shavings. The off-menu Pistachio Latte was tasty and creamy but leaned a little too sweet for our taste buds. Queens is definitely a Calgary brunch gem worth visiting! Highly recommended to for family and friends meet up.

The food is always wonderful. The chef/chefs have made this culinary experience one you will never forget. You will be back for more. Always a full house, better yet, a full castle so make your reservations. You will never regret this full experience.

Hands down my favourite brunch spot in the city. I have only ever had the brioche french toast as it is the best french toast I have ever had (coming from a French toast connoisseur). Lastly, I have never had a bad cocktail from here (coming from a cocktail connoisseur). Service is always great there as well, everyone is so incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and punctual.

I really wanted to like this place — the vibe looked promising — but my experience went downhill fast. Right when I walked in, a giant standing plant with huge leaves sliced me across the face. (Photo attached of the culprit.) Not the warmest welcome. My drink took over 15 minutes to arrive, and when I followed up, I found out it hadn’t even been rung in. When my burger finally came, the first bite had two bony pieces and the inside was red. The manager came over and told me it wasn’t cooked properly, took it back to the kitchen, and later returned saying the chef insisted it actually was. Here’s what made that especially frustrating — the kitchen is open, and before the staff even seemed aware of the complaint, I could see one of the cooks just standing around, arms up, doing a little dance while the other barely moved. Maybe it was meant as lightheartedness, but it really didn’t fit the moment — especially considering the burger in question wasn’t even cooked through. The manager was kind and professional — honestly, the only saving grace of the visit. The server, on the other hand, seemed irritated by every vowel I spoke, which probably explains why two of my items never showed up. Asking for a box felt like I’d committed a crime, and he seemed more interested in asking what I do for work than actually doing his. And to top it off, the $2 hollandaise to-go was barely an ounce and not even full. Also, a note for safety — that front door swings back fast. I accidentally knocked their business license off the wall on my way out. A door buffer or a simple “open gently” sign would really help future guests avoid the same moment. I came in hoping to see a well-oiled machine. The manager did their best, even taking the burger off the bill — but one person can only do so much when the rest of the team isn’t in sync.

Really cool and yummy place to eat! They had some unique items on their menu along with more traditional stuff which made a great selection. I got the special of the day which was a shrimp cake on a croissant with guacamole and a poached egg! I did ask for extra hollandaise sauce to dip the fried potatoes in, which tasted awesome! And to drink, I got their iced London fog which was incredible ❤️

We dined here for a brunch while heading out of the city. I've had a few friends recommend it and glad we stopped in. Last time I tried to visit there was a bit of a wait, (to be expected) it's a small restaurant and was on a weekend so it was packed. This current visit was on a Tuesday so a bit more quiet and we got in right away. We got the mango coconut french toast, a side of Korean potatoes, the ranchers brekkie, an iced latte and feature milkshake which was an orange chocolate one inspired by the Terry's orange chocolates. The food was delectable, pricy but worth it. Our server was wonderful and the vibes of the place were awesome.

I don’t even like pancakes, but I can get suckered into anything if it looks cool enough. I thankfully ordered the pancakes and they not only looked amazing but we’re the best pancakes I’ve ever had. The cake part of it was very dense and not like regular pancakes and the outside of the pancakes had an amazing crispness. The whole dish was excellent. My wife got the chicken and waffles and they were also amazing. Good coffee as well and I’d love to try and figure out how to make those pancakes

Is it possible to fall in love with French toast? Because that’s exactly what happened at Brekkie Café — and not just to us adults, but to our 10-year-old too, who declared, “This is the best French toast I’ve ever had.” And he’s right. ⭐ A Breakfast That’s Worth Every Penny Yes, Brekkie is a bit pricier than your typical breakfast spot, but once the food arrives, it all makes sense. Everything — and I mean everything — was crafted with care, consistency, and quality ingredients. From the presentation to the very last bite, this was breakfast done right. 🍞 The French Toast — A Masterpiece Fluffy on the inside, lightly crisped on the outside, served with a generous helping of butter and maple syrup — this dish alone earns a standing ovation. 🥓 Bacon & Sausage — Next-Level The bacon was perfectly smoked, with just the right thickness and a great fat-to-meat ratio. But the breakfast sausage? In my opinion, the best I’ve ever had. Not over-spiced, just enough seasoning to highlight the flavor of the meat itself. Perfectly sized. Perfectly prepared. 🥔 Potatoes, Eggs & Coffee — Nothing Left Behind Even the potatoes were a thoughtful touch — a beautiful mix of colors and types, all cooked to perfection. The eggs (sunny side up) had rich, orange yolks and were prepared with real skill. Coffee? Delicious. I started with drip and cream on the side — smooth and satisfying. I later tried a latte, which wasn’t bad, but I found the milk overpowered the gentle bean profile. Honestly, the classic coffee with cream was the sweet spot. (If I could offer one gentle suggestion: maybe take another look at the milk or steaming process for the latte.) ☕ Service & Atmosphere Heather, our server, was fantastic — kind, attentive, and made us feel at home, never rushed. Despite the full house, we waited only 5–10 minutes. The café itself is cozy, stylish, and welcoming. Plenty of parking, too. ⸻ 🙌 A Word of Thanks To the team behind the counter and especially those working the line in the kitchen — thank you. It’s clear you’re passionate about your craft and consistent with every plate you serve. Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed. This has become one of our favorite breakfast spots in Calgary, and we’ll gladly be recommending it to everyone we know. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re not just making food — you’re making mornings better.

If it wasn't for the food, I'd give this place a 1. Food was pretty good, not hot, barely warm but good. Server was awful. No personality, no smile and no engagement. In fact, not one employee smiled the whole time we were there except for the hostess when we arrived. The Server never checked on our food until we were done and had to continously ask for coffee refills from other staff members because our server was non-exhistant. She obviously didn't want to be there. Between that, food on the floor that was never picked up, and the dog droppings right outside of the window that we had to stare at all breakfast, I'd say this place was a big miss. After hearing great things, it was definitely a let down.

Sunday morning at Brekkie was such a pleasant surprise — no waitlist, a quiet atmosphere, and attentive service right from the start. Our group of five tried a great mix of dishes: the Wild Mushroom Eggs Benny, Salmon Avocado Eggs Benny, two Classic Breakfasts, and the Saskatoon Berry Pancakes. The benedicts and classics were tasty and satisfying (portions leaned on the smaller side, but still just right for an early start). The real showstopper, though, was the Saskatoon Berry Pancakes — stacked high with a generous helping of whipped cream, perfectly golden with a slight crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Easily the highlight of the table! I also loved the chai latte — lighter than expected but packed with flavor, a refreshing change from the overly heavy versions you often get elsewhere. Overall, Brekkie delivered a cozy, delicious breakfast that I’d happily come back for. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great start to your day!

Went with a group of ladies. Chicken and waffles, duck confit bowl, raspberry pancakes, regular breakfast plate, and avocado toast was ordered. Service was great. Food was great.

The food at Brekki was very delicious, but the portion sizes are pretty small and it’s quite expensive. The Raspberry Fog is so good, but not $8.25 good for the size. I’m glad I got to try it, even if it’s probably a one-time visit for me.

A couple words of advice: go early or don’t arrive super hungry. The food is a 10/10 but it closes at 9pm and the later you go, the more likely they are out of things and the kitchen backs up a bit. Now on to our dinner, we loved the place and our waiter Jeremy (I think was his name). The food is fantastic. We loved the French onion soup, steak frites, and gnocchi. Loved this spot!

Fruits are super fresh. Smoothie and oatmeal taste wonderful! Good atmosphere, amazing views, and high end vibes. Pastries 🥐 are good too. Avocado toast doesn’t taste like what we expected. Yogurt parfait doesn’t taste good. Cooked food can be better, sausages were real meat, but chewy and cold. But service is great! So is the view

My wife booked a 7:00 pm dinner reservation for a “nice dinner” during our first visit to Banff. Let me start by saying the hotel is beautiful, the view from the terrace is amazing (make sure you get there early enough for pictures), and our server, Ellen, was excellent. The drinks were good too. Where things went sideways was the food. The French onion soup is good, but the escargot lacked any flavor other than butter and pastry. No flavor of garlic or herbs as one would expect. It seemed to be cooked well and the presentation was nice, but it just lacked flavor in general. I had the lobster gnocchi which seemed as if they had forgotten to add the sauce. The gnocchi were browned and dry, and the lobster was so-so. For $55 a plate I expected something much more than what I received. I have seen pictures of this dish in other reviews and there is plenty of a creamy white wine sauce which was not present in my dish. My wife got the pork chop which I thought was ok, but she did not love it. It comes with a thin layer of a pungent cheese that just did not pair well with the dish, in our opinion. We decided to cut our losses and skipped desert. Let me also say that I never send food back and almost never complain, but for a $200+ dinner it was disappointing. We shared our feelings with our server and she appreciated the feedback and gave us a partial discount which we were not expecting, but I would rather have paid for an amazing meal. Also, no cocktail napkins, placemats or tablecloths, no candle on the table or fresh flowers. It did not feel special, and for the location and cost it felt like a miss. Based on our experience we would not go back or recommend it until they make some changes.

We had lunch here for birthday. They had given us complimentary cake for the birthday boy. I added a note while booking for reservation asking for vegeterian options for my vegetarian friends ,they read and took care of. Our waiter Himanshu was very attentive and service oriented he answered all questions we asked about the dishes. Very professional 👏 . Desserts were delicious. 😋

Late review, ate here on August 24th around 7:30PM. Steak Frites was amazing, cooked perfectly and amazing flavor. My photo doesn’t do it justice 😭. Fiancé got the burger which was also very tasty (she’s gluten free and even with the gluten free bun still good)! My only complaint here is the seating. It can feel weirdly close to other people. We got seated next to a large family with children who were on the noisier side. Another time I remember being able to hear everything this couple seated next to us was saying. Only complaint tho!

We came for the Sunday brunch at The Vermillion Room and the setting is absolutely beautiful—classic, elegant, and perfect for a special occasion. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and offered a nice variety, from pastries to seafood to carving stations. That said, for the price point, it would’ve been great to see something like endless mimosas or a complimentary drink option included. Still, a lovely experience overall with great service and a stunning view. Worth checking out if you’re looking to treat yourself in Banff.

Vermillion room is located inside the Fairmont Banff Spring hotels. PJ was our waiter and he was so kind and helpful. We told him about our dietary restrictions and he happily accommodated them. The food and drinks were all great. My husband had the filet mignon and I had the mussels and fries.

Solid diner food with generous portions. The menu has plenty of classic choices such as burgers and fries and fish and chips. Everything we tried was enjoyable even if not the best diner fare we've had. Service was good. Relaxed ambiance.

Love the old diner feel! Everything was quick. Breakfast sandwich was amazing — the croissant bun is a winner. Thick, tasty gravy perfect for fries or potatoes. Tomato soup was a bit bland, but overall a solid spot. Will definitely come back!

Lovely small restaurant! Nice patio to have brunch in the spring/summer. It is a popular place so you might have to wait a little. The staff were kind and attentive. The food was quite tasty and the portions were big! There were many options in the menu.

A great dinner in a nice little borough that's walkable and family friendly. The food was fabulous, the service was great, and the ambiance was top shelf. I would recommend this spot for a quick bite, family dinner, or a relaxed date. I cannot wait to return to this restaurant!

Went back after years and honestly… a little let down. Prices have gone up to OEB levels, but the quality didn’t match. Ordered the bacon & tomato bennie (no tomato), and the amount of bacon + hollandaise was disappointing as you can see in the pic. Asked for medium-poached but the yolk came out closer to hard. Taste was still decent, but for the price and what you get, I wouldn’t rush back. That said, service was on point super attentive and friendly.

Blue Star simply never misses. Took my partner here for some brunch, and he said it was the best breakfast he's ever had. I've never ordered anything I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. Cheers!

After rave reviews we decided to try this place for the first time. When we arrived we weren't greeted and after some time we finally got seated with no menus. And then we tried to track down a server to ask for menus. We asked for a kid's portion because my friend has dietary restrictions and were refused which was OK. We saw patrons on either side of us with fries so we orders the fries and gravy. Still no beverages, we had to call over our server and the restaurant was 2/3 full. She took our order and out can what looked like the scraps of fries all about an inch in length and really clumpy gravy. We looked for our server 3 times and finally decided to get up to speak to the girls behind the bar. When we approached them she was really rude and told us they make home cut fries and that they come like that. My friend couldn't even explain or show them our plate. There was no point and we were dumbfounded at how we were treated. I'm sure it was just a one off bad experience at least we're hoping so!!

My boyfriend and went here for Valentine’s Day. We waited a bit for food because they had their 6 course menus running, however, they were very nice about it, and treated us very well otherwise we would have not waited as long as we did. When the food came we weren’t even mad, the chicken was OUTSTANDING, and the potatoes were to die for. I felt that the chairs weren’t as comfortable but we’re definitely gonna go again. I highly recommend it.

Always tremendous food, with top-notch presentation - we had the 'Alberta on the Plate' event: 4-course menu; excellent service, and very welcoming atmosphere.

TLDR great tasting menu for the price, great staff, nice enough atmosphere. A very well thought-out tasting menu, and great value for price for a downtown restaurant. The timing between dishes was okay. The dishes themselves flavour wise were a strong 4.5/5. The drinks were 5/5! I got the sweater weather, and the bar were fantastic and made my boyfriend an old fashioned even though it wasn’t on the drink menu. The potatoes from our main were verrrry undercooked, and our fish was overcooked. I figure it’s because the chorizo topping needed to cook longer than the cod, but with such a fatty fish the dish was still quite good all things considered. Dessert was better after letting it sit for a bit, it went from a 4.5 to a 5/5. A super crème brulee! The best parts of most of our meals were the sauces. Whoever their saucier is, they do an incredible job. 3 stars for the atmosphere because for a nicer restaurant I was surprised they didn’t offer coat check, and had no hooks for my handbag so it had to go on the floor (at least for the table we were seated at). It also took a bit of waiting around until we were sat, but we were about 5 minutes late for our reservation so that was on us 😅. The parking is free and in an enclosed lot, so no parallel parking needed!

This is an edit to an earlier review. First experince a bit negative, follow up experience was terrific!!!! Brunch at Yellow Door Bistro is slightly on a smaller scale but offers great variety. You have the regular menu which has many options from light to extravagant. This Sunday the 4 of us opted for the buffet. It was delicious! The selection was good, all dishes perfect temperature, and well stocked. Ranging from charcuterie and small bites to eggs bennedicts and scrambled eggs bacon and sausage. The buffet does also include a selection of desserts and today was exceptionally special with home made macaroons. My friends and I kicked off with mimosas and each enjoyed a cup of coffee (juice and coffee are both included in the price). Make sure you try the seasonal favorite like the chicken pot pie which was a nice little surprise. The restaurant is lovely and staff are attentive. Allison was always around to top up our coffee and clear up plates. Thank you. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back again.

Chose it as the easy and quick breakfast option as we were staying at the hotel..and what a mistake! Although emphasized that we have kids with us and they are hungry, every thing happened much later than perhaps if we had not informed them.. To order….! Had to get up and go find somebody to take my order…follow ups on order, plates,…salt…all came with delays and for food, the excuse was “sorry, we have only one person cooking…and many tables…”!!!!!! And the food also did not worth the waitC not too bad, but super average…and there it came at the end..18%, 20%,…etc. tip! 😆 We never went back…

Service was really slow during Valentine’s Day. However, the food was really good and made up for the couple hours wait. Our waiter was also really apologetic and understanding about the situation. Excited to try this place again when they’re not so busy. The GRILLED HALF CHICKEN COQ AU VIN was some of the best chicken I’ve ever had.

Came here for our Valentine's Day supper. Food was amazing, our server was nice but he seemed really frazzled and he was quite sweaty. Just a little off putting.

I had the pancake taco and it was a fun, tasty twist on brunch. The space felt a bit cramped, especially during the busy hours, but the excellent service more than made up for it—Miller our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience really enjoyable. Great spot overall, and I’d definitely return to try more!

The menu offers a great variety for both meat lovers and vegetarians 🥗 The flavors were exquisite and the presentation of the food was excellent. We were served by Miller, who had an outstanding attitude and a great sense of service. A wonderful breakfast for a Saturday morning. Highly recommended

I was sadly disappointed with this place. It might have had some of the best hollandaise at a restaurant I have ever had. ... but the service was bad enough it overshadowed the food. We used the wait list and got a table just as we arrived. Recommend waitlist or reservation as it is a very small restaurant with tight and limited seating. We waited a looooong time to be served. The table comes set up with water thankfully. And we ordered pumpkin spice lattes which came quickly. Then the server seemed to somehow forget about us. We felt pretty ignored. Someone who was seated about 10 minutes after us got their food and drink before we even got to order our food. The server acknowledged it was too long of a wait and said they wouldn't charge me for a side of hollandaise I ordered (which is true they did not). The food was beautiful and came quickly. She did forget the side of sauce and I had to ask for it, whatever, it happens. We finished eating and were quite happy. Then we waited.... and waited...and waited for them to clear our plates and bring our bill. The server was chatting with the other server in the back of the restaurant. Then when they came out, they cleared almost the whole restaurant and re set it up, sat it and brought people their food before I finally asked the other server for our bill. We waited at least 35 minutes for our bill. Im not sure what we did to be completely ignored by our server after the food was brought but thats exactly what happened. I've never walked out on a meal but seriously considered it. Sadly will not be back to this establishment.

It was my first time having brunch there and I loved my experience! Service was great and food super fresh. It was rich and flavour and these were one of the best potatoes I ever tried in my 35 years on this planet :D Crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft inside. Highly recommend this spot!

Showed up at 11:45 on a Saturday and had no wait. The service was quick and personable, thank you Miller. The food was tasty, eggs done perfectly, the beef while succulent had a missing flavor factor in regards to the different sauces.

Everything was AMAZING! We ordered The Full Monki and Mixed Berry French Toast. Its was probably the best breakfast I've ever had. The service from Amilia was great and the place had cozy vibes.

Beef Brisket Hash $23.75 2/5 honestly the brisket want braised at all. The sauce covers everything. Salted caramel latte $6.25 5/5 loved the drink, didn’t have enough Smoked Salmon Lox $24.75 4/5 Food was nice, portion was small for the price

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting the owner, Zak, who went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The food was an easy 15/10, flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is minimalist yet warm, with so many amazing options to choose from. The service and attention to detail were beyond 5 stars. Zak clearly understands food, ambiance, and genuine hospitality at the highest level. This was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, and we’re already planning our return. Truly outstanding in every way!

The Matcha pancake were so warm soft and delicious. And it's art food so pretty. The fruits were fresh and juicy. Service was quick friendly and my order came out in reasonable time. The Cafe was clean organized and the team was working well together. There are cozy seating by the window cute for a little date or meet-up. Reasonable priced for upscale cafe . Totally will be back to try some eggs and hot latte~. Lots of parking available around.

The food was absolutely amazing! Zack and his team of 10 provided top-notch service and were incredibly accommodating, even with our group of 15 arriving as early as 9 AM. Our meals were served within minutes, which was impressive. The only area for improvement would be the sourdough bread—it could be better. Aside from that, it’s a perfect 10/10 for the ambience, Instagram-worthy vibes, stunning food presentation, and a marvelous selection of drinks!

The friendliest staff! 🥰 warm welcome, great service. We came here for a late lunch just now, and had the chicken n waffles + avo/mushroom eggs benedict which were very good. Excellent coffee as well. Only small negative was hearing two types of music at the same time, kitchen and restaurant. But we'd recommend!

Best brunch we've had in a long time! Korean fried chicken and waffles were super tasty, the bird nest had perfectly cooked scotch eggs.

We came in clutch just minutes before the last order on a Sunday, but they still delivered! I got the tofu bowl with added Korean fried chicken, the portion was more than enough for one, and the toppings were super generous. I left feeling so full and satisfied. Great food, great service even at the end of the day!

It was okay. The biggest problem I have is texture. You guys would really shine with better bread. It is as mushy as the eggs on top, and the eggs are as soft as the sauce on top. Bread should be toasty, smoky, crispy, loud and cloudy. That alone would elevate your avocado toast experience Give us more texture. Hot chocolate was boom though!

Their weekend brunch was great! The Benedict biscuit tasted like it was made in the morning (and it was amazing by the way). Never had an eggs Benedict with arctic char but would definitely get again. We love the Canadian flavours and it really shows in the cooking :))

A lovely late lunch on the patio today! Service was excellent, our waitress was friendly and kinda laid back - which actually suits us very well. Food was great also: the flatbread (pizza) and the glazed eggplant + tart for dessert. The eggplant was our favourite for sure! If we lived here, we'd be back 🥰

We got the sablefish appetizer and halibut main. Both very yummy. The chocolate dessert was absolutely delicious. This is in the middle of Prince’s Island Park so it’s a bit of a (pleasant) trek from downtown parking lots.

Beautiful location inside a park in Calgary, not too far from the Chinatown area. This spot has beautiful views and an amazing serene feel to it as you approach it after a walk around the park. The food here is decent - came here for brunch and they featured many of the brunch classics with lots of locally sourced meats and vegetables. The portion sizes were decent as well, so you won’t leave hungry. Overall - it’s a good spot in Calgary to check out for brunch and a stroll in the park.

We had an incredible lunch here. Sat outside on a gorgeous afternoon. We were seated promptly and order was taken quickly. Drinks were delicious. The restaurant filled up quickly, and the wait for food was a bit long, but it was worth it. Every bite was great. Standouts include the lamb sirloin flatbread and the beef tartare. Service was very friendly and accommodating with a booster seat available for a child.

Beautiful location, great decor and ambiance. We went for brunch. First time there. Food and drinks were delicious except for the fish cake! We had a scone, monogram coffee, cider, bacon, eggs with hash, lamb sausage and toast which were all tasty. Only thing I didn’t love was the fish cake. It tasted too fishy. I had halibut a few times before and it never tasted so fishy. I did live on the west coast in Vancouver by the ocean so maybe I should not compare fish in Alberta to fish I had while living near the ocean. That’s my honest opinion and experience. I would maybe try the restaurant one more time for dinner, and see how it is, although we will likely not get the fish again. Server was nice overall. I did mention the fishy taste of fish cakes and asked if that’s normal, he said it’s supposed to taste fishy so I said ok. I usually don’t mention things to restaurants but was curious if it’s supposed to taste the way it tasted. I did mention all the foods we did like as well.

What an awesome experience. Today we visited river cafe and had Stephanie serving us. 10/10 service from Stephanie. She knew her stuff, had great recommendations (that held up), she was friendly and personable. The food was incredible. I love that it’s all Canadian sourced products. Atmosphere is beautiful. Would absolutely return.

This is my family and I’s go to restaurant for having a relaxing and fun experience. I’ve gone over 5 times now and I can easily say everyone should try it at least once Cav, the server I had every single time I’ve gone there for the last 2 years, is definitely my favourite server in the restaurant business altogether. She’s sweet and kind and always checks on her tables in a timely fashion despite the restaurant being busy almost always, never too much never too little and it’s always a pleasure to know she will be our server. Funny enough, whenever my mom comes into the restaurant, she hopes that it’ll be Cav serving her and nobody else. That isn’t to say nobody else is good, I can’t speak on any other servers, but definitely Cav is an elite level server. She also gave us cinnamon buns on the house on my mom’s birthday which made my mom really happy that day. As for the food, there’s just no complaints whatsoever. Everything tastes either good and delivers as expected or unique and nice. For example, the salmon has a mango sauce on top of it which adds a sweet kick that’s so refreshing and unusual. Their omelette and Benedict are both so good to the point where my brother and I share half an omelette and Benedict everytime so we can get to try both. Their idea of having the “veggies of the day” in the omelette is fantastic cause you never know what you’re going to get and switches it up everytime. They also make their ketchup in house which is very refreshing and tastes like marinara/fresh tomatoes. Definitely ask for it if it’s not already provided. I’m not aware if the chicken is halal so I stick to seafood and vegetarian. 8.2/10 - if you’re on a roadtrip to Edmonton for 3-4 hours, make this a stop for sure.

super delicious food! insanely huge cinnamon rolls that are perfect with coffee (only complaint, bit tough and hard to cut/split—but some difficulty is unavoidable at this sheer size) really loved the service, the staff were very friendly. it’s also a very charming location. i understand the hype!!!

We visited the Highlevel Diner on Saturday past and enjoyed it very much. We got there around 11 and had no issue getting a table. Our server was so nice! Very friendly and quick to take our order. I was surprised how quickly the food was brought to our table. I ordered a Breakfast sandwich (sausage) and my wife had the Got Beef Benny. While my Sammie was good, it was a little underwhelming. The one sausage link cut in the middle on a plain English muffin really had no taste. The hash browns were really soft and tasty. The homemade ketchup was very nice. My wife loved her Benny! It was appealing to the eyes and very tasty! I wish I had ordered it, but I can't do so much hollandaise sauce. Next time I will try it with the sauce on the side. Coffee was refilled often and it was great! I am very impressed with HighLevel Diner and will certainly return soon. Parking sucks, but that's the primary issue with the University/Whyte Ave. area. Sorry for the partially eaten meal pic’s!!

I love their wild blueberry pancakes 🥞 Their creamy spinach egg Benedict is super yummy 🤤 Service and ambience is perfect, highly recommend this place!

Highlevel Diner is a neighborhood gem. Their gluten free options are excellent and tasted great. As a weird aside, their homemade Ketchup is flavorful and delicious. You can actually taste the tomatoes. Sorry for the half eaten food pics. Lol. It looked so good, we dove right in to taste everything and only took pics after. Lol

For those seeking a superior, well-executed breakfast in an inviting and unpretentious setting, Highlevel Diner is a standout choice. This diner is highly recommended for its excellent food quality and charming ambiance, backed by professional and friendly service.

I am normally the anti-sauce crowd, so when my burger came with my condiments on the side, I was very happy. What blew me away was the homemade tomato sauce was delicious! Best condiments ever! Gelato was also lovely.

Always a favourite place of ours to stop when in town before heading up to the mountains. The Galaxie Diner really feels like an authentic diner experience with many familiar options and a fun retro atmosphere. It was a bit busy on a Saturday morning (a good indicator) and we had to wait for about 15 minutes. The wait was well worth it. The huevos rancheros never misses and was quite good. Portion sizes were very generous and service was prompt and friendly.

I live nearby and I've always wanted to try it I live nearby and had always wanted to try this place — today was finally the day, and wow, it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere has such good vibes — the music and retro diner feel really take you back. I loved the bottomless coffee, and the Montreal omelette I ordered was simply amazing — full of flavor and perfectly made. Long live the Galaxie! I’ll definitely be back soon and will be recommending it to everyone I know.

I was excited to finally try Galaxie Diner. It was busy on a weekend and it took about 20 mins to get a table. Galaxie Diner is a no-frills simple breakfast/brunch joint. There's no trendy or latest-of-the-month dishes here. It's basic diner food. I got the Chicken Clubhouse while my wife had the ABC Burger. My kids got the Mini French Toast and the Tiny Traditional off the Galaxie Kids menu. My Chicken Clubhouse was pretty standard and one you could make yourself. The bacon was not crispy which was surprising giving that they heavily focus on breakfast. The hash browns were bottomless which I didn't take advantage of. I think the challenge is the limited grilling area. The hash browns were cooked in large piles so there's no chance for crispy edges. It wasn't quite what I had hoped. The ABC Burger was very homestyle. The beef was definitely not typical of restaurant patties. It had a homemade flavor to it, which is not necessary a good/bad thing. It's just different. Both my kids enjoyed their dishes. We were surprised the Mini French Toasts were just plain grocery bread slices dressed up.

We waited patiently for the big booth to fit all 5 of us for brunch! Worth the wait! The food was amazing! I really enjoyed my Coffee Milkshake and the Smoked Meat Hash! Come with an appetite because the portions are huge for the price!

If you have to wait to be seated it is totally worth it! Food was fabulous (portions are generous and tasty). Huge thanks to Makayla, Austin and Jaimie for their most excellent service! We were a party of five, ordered and shared Montreal Smoked Meat Hash (a big favourite); Galaxie French Toast & Calgary Sandwich…and of course a strawberry milkshake!

Fabulous little diner - I went with my family and we had a great time. The service from the moment we walked in the door was great, all the staff we interacted with was so friendly and welcoming. I appreciate small restaurants where everyone is available to help, it really makes it feels homey. I had the smoked meat Bennie and was obsessed. The hollindaise was perfect, and I love when bennies are served on croissants. I found myself getting full so fast, I can only assume it's because its real food. This place was packed busy, and for good reason.

This is the best breakfast place in Calgary. Get your name on the board and be prepared to wait for this cozy throw back to better, easier times. Yes it looks dated and thats its charm. The open grill atmosphere probably the OG for that "chic" open kitchen feel. They top your coffee up fast. The staff is friendly and pretty cool. Great food, never had a less than awesome experience for all the many times I've been. This is the best diner in the Galaxie! You will leave happy and never hungry.

This restaurant is the best breakfast/brunch restaurant I have been to in Calgary. It’s a small restaurant but the place is always packed - best to make a reservation. The reservation is always on time. The food is amazingly good and perfect - the pictures do not do justice to it at all. The portions are large and the chicken and meat are halal except for a few item on the menu - please ask. I’ll recommend the Brioche French Toast for breakfast or the Angus Brisket for brunch - the portions are quite large. The service and people are professional and lovely. The restaurant is always packed so expect lots of chatting but enough to hear/talk and have a conversation. Since it is close to downtown, you’ll have to pay for parking - Calgary Parking is ideal. I’ll definitely recommend.

We loved this brunch spot! It is quite small inside but if it's busy, they have an online waitlist you can join from home. I had the strawberry matcha latte, it was a great mix of strawberry and matcha flavor. My husband ordered the brisket bowl and I tried the new Furikake bowl. Both were delicious! Their menu has alot of variety (vegan options as well). We will definitely be back to try more.

This place is always packed but it's so worth it! You can make reservations online on top of the waitlist... so if you plan thoroughly, you'll get to enjoy this amazing brunch spot. The bowls are always good, you can't go wrong with any of them. We also tried the french toast this time which was so delicious. It was surprisingly not too sweet, and was a perfect brunch option! The asian fusion style dishes are some of my favorite in the city. I have yet to find a brunch place I enjoy more than Namo :)

Blinding caucasian decour but the food is good. The wedges are to die for. Everything was plated well and the taste overall was good. Omelette had good texture. I'm not sure if they use grass fed butter or something handmade but the butter is really good. Brioche BELT was hearty but I think that another bread would hold up better to the hefty toppings. For both entrees the cheese inside was not properly melted. Also I wish they just put the wedges on the plate. The little basket can be filled inconsistently.

I ordered the smoked salmon breakfast bowl and it was delicious, the dill hollandaise sauce was bright and tangy. The serving size was perfect and I left feeling super satisfied. I had a bite of the chicken Florentine crepe and it the sauce was so great! The staff were great and everything was perfect. I'll definitely be back again to try more.

Went with my fiancé to breakfast. We had a reservation booked for 10 and we were a little late but they still kept our table. The place was really busy and for good reason because the food is excellent and the service is very friendly. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot!

Me and my friend came in on a whim. There was a wait for the table, but we got in quicker than expected. The decor of the place is really nice to look at. The service is lovely as well. Everyone we interacted with was really nice. The best part was the food. I had the tiramisu waffle, and from the first bite I knew it was delicious. I would definitely come back if we are in the area.

Had breakfast here with the family. Friendly enough staff on arrival and lovely flowers at the front door! Pretty much everything you would expect for a breakfast eatery. I always get a bit freaked out by loads of ketchup / sauce bottles open on a display as I worry about how long they have been there- how can you track the dates of all those bottles?? The decor was a bit confused and I couldn’t work out the vibe…..Masquerade masks 🎭 on the wall along with jazz instruments and a suspended ceiling with 80s style Miami Vice curved arches. But don’t be put off. The food was really good🤨I ate strawberry waffles with cream, my son blasted through chocolate choc chip buttermilk pancakes and my Wife really enjoyed buttermilk pancakes, maple syrup , Canadian 🇨🇦 bacon and cream. We washed this down with tea and water. It is worth noting my son is a pancake expert with real world experience and he rated them highly!

Place with a cool interior. De food was good, price quality a good deal. It was also plenty, ideal after a hike. It has friendly staff who even gave us some tips to explore the area.

Highly recommend! Great food! So tasty, I had the Mile High Stir Fry with spicy shrimp and my husband had the blackened chicken with Cajun fries. The service was warm and friendly, and drinks/food came to the table quickly. Also, well priced. We dined this evening (Sunday). Thanks Tooloulou’s ☺️

A good hearty breakfast after a day of hiking. Hope very helpful and kind. The Cajun Poutine with Andouille Sausage was a really dynamite combiation. The spice rack/hot sauce wall is really fun.

What a massive amazing breakfast. Best breakfast ever!!! Jordans Waffles and The Big Skillet (or something like that name?). So so so yum. Wishing for another right now!

The food here was excellent! We’re Florida natives, so we know what true southern food tastes like. Most restaurants outside of the south don’t really know how to cook authentic southern food. But the fried green tomatoes were on point, the pork belly was perfectly cooked, the remoulade was great and everything was salted just right. Very pleased with the experience!

My shuttle driver recommended this eatery. So, I checked it out 2 days in a row. I would tell the waitress what I was interested in, and they would recommend a different take on it. I must say, those ladies were spot on! I never been to Louisiana because it's too hot and humid for me. I heard about the food scene there. Well, I am good now that I visited the town of Banff in the country of Canada with Louisiana flare! I definitely got my fill of delicious cuisine and wonderful customer service! My compliments to the chefs! 🫶🏽😊🇨🇦🌎

Best culinary experience. I am a vegetarian foodie ans love food based on veggies. I sat at the counter and watched the guy prepare every single dish. I had the tuna, kale ceasar, asparagus and maple desert with a sauterne. A lot of caring on each of them. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Culinary Gem in Calgary – 10 Foot Henry! If you’re visiting Calgary, you have to stop by 10 Foot Henry — this place is an absolute must! The overall dining experience was incredible from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and full of great energy, and the service was top-notch. Now, let’s talk about the food — hands down some of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Their Cacio e Pepe pasta is a classic done perfectly, but the real standout for me was their house-made kale and pistachio pesto pasta. It’s one of the most unique and flavorful pastas I’ve ever tried — fresh, vibrant, and cooked to perfection. Every appetizer we tried was fantastic, especially the charred cabbage (a must-try!) and the beet salad, both bursting with flavor. And the desserts? Absolutely amazing — the perfect way to end an unforgettable meal. I’d recommend 10 Foot Henry 100%. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this spot deserves a place at the top of your Calgary food list. 🍝✨

We came here for our anniversary and it completely surpassed my expectations! The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was incredible, and upon presentation, was described to us in great detail. As a vegetarian, I also really appreciate the veggie focused menu!

A phenomenal first meal in Canada. Upscale service, food, and presentation in a very casual vibes environment. I can confidently say this is the best varied presentation of delicious vegetables I've had in my life. They aced every dish, and dispelled all notions that fiber needs to be an afterthought on your plate. This has encouraged me to level up my vegetable game at home when I cook. The Pickled Melon with Proscuitto (or whatever cut it was) was my favorite dish. Insane to me, because I'm a known Melon hater. They made me love it. The carrots were also dynamite. Smoky and rich. I hope to come back to Canada just to eat here again. All the staff was lovely, helpful, fast and super great at suggestions. Lyndy was our server, but everyone pitched in and gave my family of 6 a fantastic time.

I took my wife here for her birthday dinner and was very impressed with everything here. The food is absolutely delicious and I'd say 95% of the vegetable dishes can be made vegan which is great for me but the staff go the extra step by offering the non-vegan items from the dish on the side for others ar the table. The service here is outstanding, friendly and helpful plus they don't rush you at all afterwards. Love that! It can get quite loud in the restaurant and some of the tables are quite close together which can make things feel a bit cramped but not a deal breaker. My only suggestion would be some dedicated vegan dishes with tofu or something would be great on the mains side of things. We will definitely be back though.

Came for a solo lunch while visiting Calgary! Everything was delicious, the pickled melon blew my mind. 😂 in the best way. The cacio e pepe was literally the best pasta I’ve ever had. Laura was an amazing server! 😊 I cant wait to visit again and explore more of the menu! ❤️

Delicious dinner here at Ten Foot Henry. All the dishes we had were great. The tomatoes with whipped feta and herb, roasted carrots, tuna crude, and gigli kale pesto. Service was also nice and friendly. I would love to return and try their other dishes.

Uncover the magic of this hidden gem diner in YEG, where the ambience is refreshingly retro. Took the staff's expert advice and ordered their standout dishes, chicken rice soup and pistachio pineapple cream pie, a winning combination for brunch date. Great price. Great customer service. Great food. Clean washroom.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. I personally had the Hathways Muffin's, other had the open faced turkey sandwich, kids french toast and classic eggs Benny. As always didn't take a picture of the food because we dug in way to fast. Incredible food! Totally worth the price. Service was fast, and friendly and Sydney had all the answers. Shout out to her! The restaurant is a tight setting, but that is so they can maximize on how many people they can serve. And when they consistently have a line out the door I dont blame them. Got some pie to go for me and my pup, and I cant wait to get home and dig in.

A charming local breakfast place with delightful cream pies! I got their daily special of Stuffed French Toast with blueberry and lemon, it was wonderful! A bit noisy during the rush, but quick, fresh, and tasty. So nice to have these neighbourhood gems around and thriving! We each got a slice of pie to go, since we’re so full.

Went to this very chich classic diner style cafe. “Hathaway Diner”. The location was really really out of the way for us but the drive was worth it. Located in the heart of a community and off the beaten path, you will find this very friendly and hip modern diner. The menu was pretty extensive and they serve breakfast and lunch all day. My daughter was craving the eggs Benedict as she had never tried it before. The eggs were perfectly poached as described by the waitress. The hash browns were also nicely seared to perfection. I had the beef dip as it was calling my name. The bun came pillowy soft and the meat was delicious. The dip was sublime, almost wanted to chuck it like soup. Beef barley soup that came with it and was also delicious but was overshadowed by the beef dip. Definitely recommend trying this place out. Lots of fun and delicious meal and great atmosphere. I can totally understand the rave reviews after trying it out.

Lovely breakfast place with friendly staff and owner. The ladies welcome you with smile as well as the owner. Most important thing for me is how I am welcomed to the restaurant. And this place is perfect for me. Designed nicely. Atmosphere is warm for you to feel comfortable. I would visit here in the future.

This is a nice diner that serves great food. It's quite cramped inside though. We heard good things about this place and overall were very happy. The service was excellent. Food was good too but prices are definitely on the high side. Will have to return to decide if the quality makes up for the prices charged.

Stopped by Hathaway’s Diner on a Sunday and had a fantastic experience. It wasn’t too busy, so we easily got a couple of seats by the window—a great spot to enjoy our meal. The service was excellent—attentive, fast, and welcoming. I had the Corned Beef Hash Skillet with sunny-side-up eggs, and it was everything a good skillet should be—simple, hearty, and delicious. My wife had an omelet, and she enjoyed it just as much. The food was straightforward but done exceptionally well. The highlight of our meal was the Pistachio Pineapple Pie—such a unique and delightful treat! Perfectly balanced flavors and not overly sweet. Hathaway’s Diner isn’t a big place, but it has a cozy charm that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great diner food with excellent service!

Ive been coming to this place for years and it never disappoints. The portions are big, and I it’s easy to split dishes amongst friends. (They split it for you with no extra charge). Some of the savoury plates can air on being too salty, but overall delicious and worth your time/money.

The staff was so nice. Got the recommended potato, onion, bacon pancake. It was served with sour cream but I likked it better with the Danish syrup. I was alone. If I had someone with me, I could have shared savory and sweet one. The serving was huge, had to bring home a portion.

Had an amazing brunch experience! The ambiance felt straight out of a cozy European café — warm, inviting, and relaxed. Their vegetarian omelet was the best I’ve had in a long time — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also tried a unique twist on pancakes that I’ve never seen anywhere else — creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. On top of it all, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It's definitely a place worth coming back to!

The Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus serves delicious pancakes, both savory and sweet. The flavors are spot-on, and there’s a great variety to choose from. Perfect spot if you’re craving something unique and tasty for breakfast or brunch!

🇳🇱🥞 Panenkoek: A Taste of Holland You’ll Love 🥞🇳🇱 What a gem! I tried the Strawberry Special and it was absolutely delicious — the perfect balance of sweet, fresh, and spiced. You can tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The Dutch-style pancakes are thin, big, and full of flavor. The cozy, European vibe makes you feel like you're enjoying breakfast in a little corner café in Amsterdam. Service was friendly and fast, and everything came out warm and beautifully presented. Great spot for brunch, a relaxed breakfast, or just treating yourself. Panenkoek is a must-visit if you love unique and authentic flavors. I’ll definitely be back!

MUST TRY!!! The food was awesome. The syrup, sauce combo was great!!! And the portions are HUGE! Will be back to try more items on the menu!!

What a gem! This breakfast spot totally exceeded my expectations. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful, with just the right hint of sweetness. The menu had a great mix of traditional breakfast favorites and savoury options, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to start the day. If you're looking for something comforting yet unique for breakfast, this place is a must-try. I’m already dreaming about my next visit!

The decor here is cute and nice. I enjoyed my time here tho I ordered vendome breakfast which was some basic items and I didn’t think it was special. Potatoes were crispy and good tho. I see pictures of a shakshuka similar dish so I wish I got that instead. Overall not bad but not special food.

Thought we would give this a second try. We ordered the BBQ Brisket Hash and the Cured Salmon Eggs Benedict. The speed of service was excellent, presentation was great, poached egg was nearly perfectly done and brisket was tender. Flavour didn’t seem to come through, and the potatoes were bland. Food didn’t strike us to have an enticing aroma, nor did it have any flavours unique to this restaurant. We didn’t immediately jump at the opportunity to box up our food and take it home. Calgary has many good brunch eats, and we would go elsewhere next time.

A really cute brunch space with friendly and accommodating staff. We did not wait very long for a table on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the food was very sub par for the price and the rating for this place. I had high expectations that were not met. The eggs Benedict was on crust less toast and the French toast was not something we expected at all. It tasted like deep fried batter, although the peach topping was really good! My friend enjoyed her breakfast bowl but again, for the price it wasn’t amazing. Overall, expensive, small sizes, and average taste.

This was my first time here in several years and it didn't disappoint. It's the second time YYC hot chocolate fest brought me this way and my first time dining it and I can't wait to come back! The espresso martini was the best I've ever had. My best friend and I got the grilled cheese and it was amazing. The French fries and onion rings are off the hook. Service was decently slow but it was really busy so I didn't mind at all. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Honestly I was really disappointed. I came in with standard brunch expectations (I didn't expect to be blown away or anything), but I was just... Disappointed. We came here because I had a gift card (and I'd heard good things), but I definitely would have been pretty upset if I had to pay full price. I got the lamb kofta eggs benny, and my partner got the chorizo scramble. We also shared a chai latte & regular drip coffee. The eggs benny: it felt like they served me one super old benny, and one they made fresh or something? I asked for medium poached, but one of the bennies the egg was hard poached (see pic) and the bread it was on was rock hard. Like I could not cut through it with my knife. And when I did finally break through, it was like a cracker - it snapped apart instead of being cut (and made a super loud sound, I was concerned for the plate). It was also hard to pick up with my fork, like I could not stab it because it was so hard. The other benny was like a night and day difference - actual medium egg and soft(er) bread. The portion of lamb was also really small? Like I get that lamb is expensive (and everything is expensive these days), but it was like the size of half of my thumb for $21? It just didn't feel like good value. The potatoes were also pretty plain. I love potatoes, so I'm happy with some plain fried baby potatoes, but they weren't anything special. The hollandaise was nice - made with Boursin cheese. The chorizo scramble: most parts were good as individual pieces (i.e., scrambled eggs were good, sourdough was good, etc.), but the chorizo, which should be the highlight in a chorizo scramble, was disappointing. My partner said it was "dry and tasted like nothing. Might have just been overcooked ground pork?" Also felt like low value for the price ($21). One slice of bread topped with a bit of meat and scrambled eggs? I legitimately think I could make this one at home for less effort, better value, and better taste. The chai latte was good, but nothing special. Tasted kinda like they used Tazo chai syrup. The drip coffee was coffee. The service was really friendly and on point tho. And the location/space was nice.

Good dinner spot. Nice local ingredients that has been crafted into Mediterranean favourites. Very good vegetarian options and comfortable, cozy and trendy space. I had the mushroom moussaka, and while it was very flavourful, I would say that the portion was too small and too expensive. The geek yogurt lemon cheesecake for dessert was amazing and I would definitely recommend! Overall pretty good spot for a fun, tasty dinner!

The ambience is great, nice and cozy cafe. Menu has some really good choices. We visited during the pandemic, and found the tables were not as clean, and food was average,could have been better. As a person who enjoys the ambience more than the food, I would visit it again.

We had a lovely breakfast here today! Everything was delicious — from the fresh salad to the hearty waffles and sausage. The soup was comforting, the coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I only managed to take a photo of my salad — my husband ordered waffles with sausage and a soup with salad too, but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to snap a photo. It was so good he couldn’t wait even a minute and dove right in! We’re definitely coming back more often. Highly recommend!

Incredibly kind and efficient waitress, free parking available right in front, fresh food and delicious flavours. Tried Guava mimosa and you should too! Definitely recommend - experience, vibe and food completely worth it.

First off the food was amazing, we came for my friends birthday breakfast, i’ll be coming back for the food but Elzbieta gave horrible service. we didn’t even sit down for 5 minutes, and she was already asking us to order and rushing us, didn’t make any eye contact when we were communicating, granted it was busy- she said that our food would take 40 minutes so she insisted we should order now in a very passive aggressive tone. our friend didn’t even order a drink and stuck with water because she felt so rushed as the drinks were $6.50 each (little expensive for how the drinks came out) at the end, we asked her for the bill and she didn’t even let us tell her we wanted it split a certain way, she just walked away without any confirmation that she heard us , and then she comes back we let her know, and she told us in a weird tone that “we should of told her earlier” we did apologize but she just didn’t say anything to it. basically, we were rushed and didn’t get to order what we wanted because of that. it was our first time going and we really did enjoy the food and will be coming back, hopefully to be served by someone else next time.

Had a lovely brunch here! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the breakfast sandwich and crispy potatoes— called as the BELT. Big shoutout to Natalie — super accommodating and kind! This spot is great if you have specific dietary needs; they’re happy to adjust. Cozy vibes and friendly service make it a solid go-to in Edmonton.

Hostess was reliably distant in a European stepmother kind of way. Server was awesome. It’s rare that I enjoy something as much as I did the first or second time but today was an exception. This place makes the perfect waffle, perfect texture, beautiful fruit combo including kiwi berries ( is this a lab fruit?) the whipped cream is sweet but not too sweet, it’s exactly the right amount of sweet and reliably so. Also whatever maple syrup is served with this delicious waffle is next level. I recommend you pour out the whole little dish of maple syrup so it bathes one half of your waffle from the bottom up. Why? Because this baby does not need the maple syrup but it is fantastic with maple syrup. So this way you get two fantastic food experiences, one with syrup and one without. I ordered mine with a side of eggs, wherever they source their eggs is good quality. I think one of the secrets to this place is the sourcing. I only eat this waffle on very rare special occasions, maybe once a year and it has not disappointed!

I love this place. I’ve been a handful of times and always enjoyed what I ordered. The buckwheat crepe was delicious today. The menu quite literally says it’s a scratch kitchen and wait times could be longer but it’s so worth it.

My friend came in to pick up his food. Server Elzbieta’s service was horrendous, extremely unprofessional and disappointing. She singled him out over something unrelated to the restaurant (a parking citation he had issued in a previous job, long before this visit). She brought it up repeatedly, made him feel uncomfortable, and clearly let a personal issue affect her professionalism. She told him to wait outside after ordering, ignored his requests for water, handed him his food rudely without cutlery, and only gave utensils when he asked again. Two customers even walked out after witnessing what happened with him It’s disappointing because the food here is actually good, but service is just as important as the meal. No customer should ever feel targeted, embarrassed, or disrespected because of something outside the restaurant. I really hope management takes this seriously and ensures all staff treat guests with professionalism.

Quite a surprise in downtown Edmonton. Went in for a breakfast after someone suggested we try this place out. It was within walking distance of our hotel...maybe 5 or 10 minutes. We were promptly created and were sat right away. We went through the menu and were not sure what to get because everything sounded amazing. I settled on the lobster Scramble and my partner had the Montreal Smoaked Meat Benny. It was the best thing I have had in a long time. I will be going out of my way to find another location or return here next time I am in Edmonton.

One of the best brunch places I've tried! Food was delicious and so many options to choose from. Even my picky toddler loved the croissant. It's clean inside and everyone is friendly. We were also lucky to find street parking right outside the restaurant.

Christopher was fantastic! He made us feel welcomed and ensured that we were well taken care of. The waffle was delicious and I appreciate the care they took with my dietary restrictions.

🍳 OEB Breakfast Co. – Kelly Ramsey Review 🥐 Visited on a Sunday morning with our group of four — as expected, the place was packed! Pro tip: definitely use Yelp to get on the waitlist about an hour ahead. I checked in early, so even though there was a 45-minute quote, we only waited about 15 once we arrived. ✨ Ambience & Service: The vibe here is great — stylish, lively, and full of energy. Service was friendly and prompt throughout our meal. A solid start with some good coffee and the premium orange juice, which was fresh and flavorful. 🍽️ Food Rundown: • I had the Blue Crab Eggs Benedict — served on a croissant, which was a nice touch. The crab was tasty, but I did get a small bit of shell, and the portion size wasn’t huge. Overall, decent but not amazing. • My wife ordered the French Toast and wasn’t a fan — it had a hint of orange flavor that didn’t quite land for her. Our son finished it off and thought it was okay, just not a standout. • Our son also had the Traditional Eggs Benny (also on a croissant), which he enjoyed. 🥔 Worth Noting: We’ve been to another OEB location before and had their breakfast poutine, which we all preferred over what we had this time around. 👍 Final Thoughts: Still a great brunch spot with a fun atmosphere and solid service. Might just choose different menu items next time. Worth the visit — just plan ahead if you’re coming on the weekend!

Oeb used to be my absolute favorite brunch spot which I chose to splurge on as a broke university student, even after the raise in prices with the pandemic. But the last two years prices have continued to increase while portions have majorly shrunk. Confirmed with the staff that these were properly portioned sides of there potatoes, 17 mostly half size potatoes. Ordered two sides and they both fit in one box with my sauce. Sadly can’t return again.

Wow do I love this place. I went on the morning of 20th and got an avocado toast which was amazing, their matcha is also one of the best I've tasted. The place is gorgeous with beautiful mugs and plates. Every single staff that checked on me were all very lovely and happy. I did not see a single frown. I also love how I can see the kitchen and the staff working on the food. The service was excellent, I'll definitely come back here more often.

I always try the Eggs Benedict at any new restaurant and Oeb did not disappoint. I had the Korean Bulgogi Benny and every bite was heaven. Paired with a few of their beyond delicious cocktails, and it was the best brunch I've had in a very, very long time. My dining partner and I have decided it will be our go to place to dine before every play we see at the Citadel Theater (4min walk). Cannot rave enough about the service. Kind, polite, and absolute gems to interact with, and helpful with menu choices.

I really enjoy this breakfast/brunch spot, it's become a go-to when I visit Calgary. My family always recommends it, and for good reason. The menu features a creative Asian fusion twist on classic breakfast and lunch dishes, and the flavors are consistently impressive. This time, we ordered five different dishes plus one sweet item to share, and everything was delicious. Each plate was beautifully presented and had its own unique flavor profile, making it easy to sample a bit of everything. What made the experience even better was the warm, welcoming service. My cousin joined us with her newborn, and the staff went out of their way to be accommodating and kind. It's little touches like that that make a place memorable. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Calgary and looking for something a bit different but super satisfying for brunch.

First time in Maven and I've got to say I'm pretty impressed with what's going on. Service is good and the kitchen was very accommodating. Friend and I had two dishes: Spicy Crab Fried Rice and Still In Manila subbed w/ Salmon. What I appreciated: - They offer sawsawan, sambal, and atchara--essential accoutrements to southeast Asian cuisine. Filipino restaurants, from what i've seen lately, have forgone this in their menus and I think it's a damn shame. - Crispy Garlic Fried Rice. It was crispy, and nice. - They aren't afraid to get spicy. Things that could be better: - Food was tasty but a little two-dimensional - E.g. the Spicy Crab Fried Rice had everything going for it, until it didn't. Saving grace was the server offering atchara and other pickled sides, which gave the dish the necessary acidity to make it work. - My dish, the Still In Manila, didn't have the onion tomato sawsawan, which really was a shame. The atchara was good, but onion and tomato sawsawan is iconic and a mainstay--especially if they use some sort of in house vinegar. I'm sure that with the sawsawan, it would have added much more to the dish, but as it was, the garlic rice lacked salt, and overall the dish lacked a bit of a kick. The sambal that I requested saved it, though, but would be amazing to have a chili vinegar sukang sawsawan, too. Overall, 3.5 to soft 4. Would love to give them another shot though!

Maven has probably become one of my top 5 brunch places in Calgary. I’ve been here 3 times now and it has not disappointed. The restaurant is bigger than it appears as it stretches out towards the back (which I believe is a cafe area). The menu itself is really cool too because the kitchen manager or chef has designed dishes to reflect some of the places he has travelled to in Asia. Seriously so much flavour in every bite and the texture is just chef’s kiss. You have to get the fry bread if you come here too!

We loved this place. We came here for breakfast on a Wednesday morning and it was very busy. I had the best latte ever. We shared two breakfast plates there were so many amazing dishes on the menu we had a hard time choosing. I highly recommend the food here. We will be returning.

Wandering through 17th Avenue we happened by Maven for brunch. We were in an experimental mood to try something a little bit different for breakfast. We got the My Breakfast in Tokyo and the Singapore Style Pork Congee. I would say the congee was quite pleasant, it had rich flavours and the use of the dried pork lardons was a nice touch. The chili oil provide, gave a nice balance to the dish that needed a bit of spice to elevate the delicate flavours. The only issue I had was with the yauhjagwai should really have been on the side, since by the time it got to us the congee was slightly too cold and the yauhjagwai was soggy. The main issue was with the salmon dish. I would say the miso soup was one of the worst miso soups we had. It was SOUR. I understand maybe changing it up with a bit of citrus, but the underlying flavour of miso soup should be dashi and miso, but all we could taste was CITRUS. The salmon was also not as flavourful as we thought it would be. I would understand if it was supposed to be a poke style dish, but cooked egg with raw/likely marinated raw salmon is a weird combination. Among some other execution flaws in the salmon dish was a distinct imbalance in the pickle flavours of the radish. The spinach was way too dry and it had no flavour. It was honestly disappointing for $24.50. I probably wouldn't grab the flat white here again as well. The service was a bit slow as well, since food was dying on the pick up counter with people walking by. I would not visit this place again. The regular breakfast/brunch looked a lot better l, so maybe give that a go, but I would venture into any of the other dishes or even coffee.

We decided to try the menu after seeing it. We started with the Spicy Crab Fried Rice, which had a delicious Malaysian-inspired rice flavour. The Chilli Crab Toast was surprisingly similar to the rice. The waiting time can be long, and the food might take a while to arrive. However, since we were in a group, we had a great time chatting and entertaining each other while we waited. Overall, it was a enjoyable experience.

My first visit was amazing and I absolutely loved it. My experience this time was not good, and the meal was disappointing. I ordered the butternut squash pasta with Chinese sausage and it’s just barely edible. The sausages were burnt, hard and was impossible to chew. Maven’s done great before with other fusion options but this one is disappointing, the chef clearly doesn’t know how to make Chinese sausage.

We've been here many times over the years. We know all the food is top notch, the food prices and portions are the best. Our waiter was amazing as well. Its a busy spot but the food comes out quite quickly. Apparently they have the best French onion soup, I never tried it was it was a rave at our table. And those ribs on the appetizer menu are HUGE! We definitely will be coming back

Melissa’s MisSteak in Banff was a great breakfast spot overall! The restaurant was spotless and smelled amazing when we walked in, which made for a really nice first impression. Our server — we didn’t catch his name — was awesome. Super friendly, easygoing, and made the experience better. We had a window seat with a stunning mountain view, which was honestly one of the highlights of the visit. The food was solid. The hash browns were tasty and crispy, and the sausage was okay — not bad, just a bit mediocre compared to everything else. The scrambled eggs, though, were a bit of a mixed bag for me. They were dense, a little gelatinous, and had a strange texture that threw me off. Not terrible, but not my favorite. Overall, I’d still call it an above-average breakfast spot. The service, view, and atmosphere were fantastic, and most of the food was delicious. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 just because the meal wasn’t quite exceptional, but I’d still recommend it if you’re in Banff!

Was our last night for dinner out visiting, and thought a good steak house would hit the spot. It did but I wasn't blown away to be honest. It wasn't bad at all so please dont think im saying that. it was just good not amazing great. Service from tosh was awesome. The reason I gave 4 stars is mashed potatoes seem like something from school cafeteria steak was cooked perfectly but didn't have much flavor, still tender though. The spaghetti squash was delicious. This is Just the experience we received .

We were seated promptly and given beautiful window seats. The waitress ( KIM ) was very knowledgeable and honest…. The steaks and lobster and Yorkshire tail were awesome!!! Great job everyone.

Nice spot for lunch. Service is good and food is great. Came by between 2-3pm so there was not a long wait between orders. I had the buffalo starter, steak and chips main and the brownie for dessert. Worth a visit!

The steak was delicious, with just the right tenderness that even the kids enjoyed. The side dishes were also very flavorful. The pork ribs were prepared by frying, and adding a bit of lemon juice for seasoning was just right perfect to go with a glass of beer. The lobster was also well-prepared. Next time I’d like to go back and try their brunch.

Great place to have dinner. We had prime rib 😋 it was very good. It was our 50th Wedding anniversary 💕. We had great service. The restaurant was cozy. Greatly recommended. We were offered champagne 🍾 which was very good and a free dessert 🍨 as it was our 50th anniversary.

Super busy, but it was a Sunday, which is understandable! I ordered the avocado toast, while two friends order the other two dishes. The avocado toast was delicious! I chose to add the cold-smoked salmon, which added a nice smoky taste to it! The flavour that I noticed the most other than the avocado was the tomato jam. Think tomato with a touch of sweetness. Not unwelcome, and it helped balance out the rest of the savoury flavour. The breakfast gnocchi was creamy and delicious, mixing the yolk into the sauce was a good choice, as it added a nice extra flavour to the sauce. The crepe was sweet and the almond added a nice extra flavour of nuttiness to balance the sweetness!

Kind of disappointing for the money paid. No one at our table was super excited about their breakfast. The portions (in general) were on the smaller side. The service wasn’t too bad. Very small, intimate restaurant.

Amazing experience! Everything was perfect – the atmosphere was cozy, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server Anthony was very friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back!

A go to spot for brunch, the produce is fresh and everything you order comes out efficiently. There are many locations in Calgary but we love going to the bridgeland location. The service is always friendly, atmosphere very welcoming

Very busy place but it’s Sunday morning. It’s very loud, so if you don’t like crowded and loud places - this place is not for you. Staff were very polite and friendly even for a craziness that they had! Food was good. It’s hard to get a spot without reservation, so it’s better to pre-book a table. Overall, great experience!

This place has gone downhill. It used to be one of the best brunch spots in the city. It is now mediocre, at best. Portions and quality have decreased. The eggs and drip coffee are still very good. The remainder of the staple items are a shadow of what they once were. Potatoes are nothing special, any home cook can make as good or better. The bacon used to be a proper thick cut piece of bacon. Now it’s barely thicker than the average pre-cut, pre-packaged, store bought bacon you get from big chain grocers. Sad to see this place go down hill like this. They’ve expanded and lost their quality control. It’s marginally better than Denny’s

Fresh bread (left) and day old bread (right) in one sandwich (referring to remade dish). I would say good quality is not as good as before. Ingredients were half fresh half not so fresh.

The food and proportions are generally good. Nice installations. The restrictive menu and scheduled availability of certain food items is a little frustrating - note that I have only ever eaten breakfast here. I would have given 4 stars for food, but the chocolate milk seemed to be diluted with plain milk. I went with a larger group, 9 people in all, and didn't make a reservation - there were enough free table to accommodate our group upon arrival. Our server's attitude made it seem like we were being an inconvenience requiring 2 tables to be pulled together. Also, we were never informed about the specials (posted on a board high above the counter) - overall just a lack of consideration for the client.

Ordered stuffed French toast was very yummy. Also I'm a professional cleaner and can say that it's very clean especially the bathrooms, cleanest bathroom I've seen in a restaurant I was impressed!!!

We stopped in at this little gem on a whim while in the area. It was great idea, excellent food and atmosphere. We talked with the wait staff and she took pride in telling us that they had been in business at the location for over 21 years. We didn't have a chance to deep dive into the food and drink menu but our lunch was delicious. Next time in the area we will be sure to explore again.

In the past, I had visited Urban Diner and had just been "sufficiently whelmed" at best but my most recent visit was fantastic. The Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly and the service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Definitely check it out if you're in the area or give it another shot if you've been in the past and haven't been back for a while.

The Urban Diner remains one of the most consistent spots in Edmonton for a unique vision of breakfast and Diner inspired dishes. I had the Classic Breakfast with 2 medium poached eggs, savory hash browns, an amazingly plump and flavorful pork sausage, and an artisan whole grain toast with jam. My friend ordered the same with Urban's famous meatloaf instead of sausage - perfection as always. If you've never tried before, how's the time for a confort food experience!

We sat on the patio on the last sunny day of the summer (fall). Ruben description had a sauce I didn't think I'd like, so they exchanged it with aoli. Kenebec fries!!!! Love em. Caesar was so so. 2 washrooms, one said "urinal inside." Great diplomacy lol.

I live close to Urban Diner so it’s often a go-to for a reasonably priced, good brunch/lunch. However the last two times I was there the service was horrible. I brought my mother for her birthday, an older lady with grey hair served us. She was borderline impolite, my mother asked for a side syrup with her French toast, the server said it already comes with syrup on top and just didn’t bring any. Then, today, I tried again, I brought my sister for brunch. And I don’t think I can, in good sense, come here again. Our server Shauna, was likely the worst I’ve ever encountered. We didn’t see her often and when we did she was curt and disinterested. Would start walking away before I even finished my answer. Had other servers bring us our food. We sat with dirty our dishes in front of us for over 25 minutes until we asked another waitress for our bill. I’m sorry, I felt zero tip and won’t be coming back.

Delicious pancakes and very friendly service! :) We got the vegetarian crepe and strawberry and whipped cream crepe. I just wish I got fresh strawberries with my crepe or that they made it clear that the strawberries weren't fresh on the menu :/ Regardless, I look forward to returning

Our first time here. Have been wanting to check it out for years. Great breakfast! Loved the French press coffee and fresh orange juice also! The Stroop syrup for the pancake was yummy! Great experience.

Mediterranean Omelette: Loaded with spinach, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and creamy feta, this omelette is fresh, hearty, and full of flavor—great if you’re craving something light but filling. Dutch Benedicts: A tasty twist on the classic—perfectly poached eggs, savory layers, and rich hollandaise make this a comforting and indulgent brunch pick.

Had a terrible experience, waited for over 20 minutes before the waitress refilled my coffee then another 20 minutes before I got the box for the food and the bill. The food was average, but I think the terrible service really ruined the experience. Parking QR also did not work and ended up with a parking ticket, making an already over priced meal even more expensive. Update: have sent email as requested, yet to hear back from restaurant.

All in all great food, really enjoyed my meal i got the Boer's Omelette meal and it was fantastic. Only gripe is i got a french press coffee and it was luke warm at best was stone cold before I made it through the first cup ... but tho cold it was still enjoyable so still gets a 5 star cause i will defintly come again to try more of the dishes.

Pleasant service and excellent food. I recommend the pancakes. I've had ham and eggs and eggs Benny both scrumptious. Comfy booths and lots of space make this place my current favorite.

Good breakfast with many gluten free options, for a reasonable price and very good service.

We went here because it was in my book that I read and honestly, I just thought it was OK. It’s kind of away from downtown area if you are staying downtown. I had the omelette. My mom had the French toast. All delicious but the service was kind of slow even though she was super nice and the food was just OK. You can’t make reservations, which is annoying, you have to just show up and hope a spot is available or put your name on the list which is what we did and we were called 30 minutes later. We got to sit outside, which was nice because it was a nice day! I feel like the spot is more for the locals in the area that can just walk here. I thought it was good but not great.

Its been many, many years since I have come to dairy lane, but its been a place that has always stayed in my mind as somewhere that was an icon. I came here for dinner with my husband and it was exactly as I remember, an icon. I got the weekly special, the last one to be exact, and it was a brisket sandwich. It was one of the best brisket sandwiches I've ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned and beyond tender. My husband got the bison burger, and it was so good I almost traded my brisket sandwich for it. Everything was super high quality, the service was amazing, and they have an adorable patio with comfortable seating. I will return here again, hopefully on burger night!!

Small and perfectly cozy little cafe. When the waiter said "this ones my favourite", now it has become my favourite too. Good price and decent amount of seats available. You can call to place a waitlist seat.

Today I went for brunch alone. It was cold, a little windy and a little dreary. Luckily, I snagged an outside table immediately beneath a heater. I got a Large (¢50) Matcha Latte ($5.75) Sweatened (¢50) and a Mexicali Breakfast Bowl ($19.75) with bacon ($7). As you can tell, there was quite a bit of hidden costs I wasn’t informed about. While I assume some places have upgrades, it just would be nice to know the price of things before hand? The matcha was decent, but nothing special. A hot latte was great on a cold morning like today. As for the Mexicali bowl…. I unfortunately didn’t like it. My hash browns were barely warm and at the very bottom they were swimming with the pico de gallo juice. The whole dish tasted like it was lacking flavour, especially salt. Even the hot sauce couldn’t save it. Which is strange considering it LOOKED like it had flavour. I think what could have given this dish more life is tortilla chips and/or toss the hash in cumin, chili powder and chipotle. And the hashbrowns needed to be hot. The bacon was delicious, but it alone costed $7 💀 I wasn't informed this when I was asked if I wanted bacon. I would definitely go back. The staff were awesome. But I would for sure order something different.

The food was great, really fresh and decent portions. The staff were very attentive and efficient. Overall a great brunch spot!

This place amazing. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was excellent. I had the local French toast and my mom had the eggs Benedict. Both 10/10. It felt like a super local spot and highly recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming — a truly lovely place to dine. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as it can get quite busy at times!

this is a diner and truck stop that is near Inglewood and a wonderful gem filled with character, affordable and delicious food, and a staff that will make you want to come back over and over. the menu has a lot of interesting items, pictured is the Flapper Pie which is kind of like a custard covered with the mountain of meringue/marshmallow. probably the best pancakes in town and something for the Young generation and those who enjoy classic home cooked meals. the pies are obviously amazing and the milkshake is fabulous. daily specials, huge portions, fair prices and cool decor. yes it can be a little bit dingy but it's part of the atmosphere, the food is totally worth your time. the second thing you're going to talk about when you leave this place is what you are going to have when you come back.

Pretty good for what you get. Relaxed atmosphere with good music. Waitresses feel a bit rushed even with a bit of the wait on the food. Quite filling thankfully! Lemon pie was good.

Stopped in at this iconic Calgary diner on Saturday morning... Was immediately greeted by a friendly server that asked me if I would like coffee to start as she directed me towards an open booth. This place is very spacious and quite unique with the decor in mind. The food is what you would imagine from a Truckstop Diner, just good short order items without the 'frills' at a reasonable price... I don't come down to this area of the city too often. However, if I am downtown early in the morning then I am happy to swing over to the Inglewood region and grab a good solid breakfast..... Bottom Line: 8.8 out of 10

This diner is absolutely beautiful on the inside, filled with Americana and an assortment of kitsch trinkets speckled throughout. A model train circles the diners on a track suspended below the ceiling. Despite it not being that busy when we walked in, at around 5:15, the two waitstaff seemed overwhelmed. When our order was being taken, we got ID'd, and when satisfied with our credentials, the waitress hurried off before we could continue ordering. It took an inordinate amount of time to get what we first ordered, two beers. At that point we put in our orders. Our waitress was curt, and seemed to be in a rush, cutting off my partner before he could finish stating his initial order. We didn't exactly feel welcome. Our food was finally served a little after 6. The poutine was quite good. The gravy seemed to be of the chicken and mushroom variety, and was well thickened. The crinkle cut fries were crisp and hot, and although the curds weren't large, they were plentiful, room temperature, and tastefully arranged. 8.5/10 on the poutine. My partner's club sandwich, on the other hand, was dry, and the side of crinkle cut fries were not hot. They were unapologetically lukewarm. 5/10. We finished eating at about 6:15 and were paid up by 6:25. It's possible that our waitress was simply in a bad mood, or having a bad day, but whatever the case, her tension was palpable, and it resulted us feeling like we shouldn't have come here. That, plus the food and drinks taking a very long time despite their simplicity and the waitress's fast pace. Maybe the result of understaffing?

Our next Sunday brunch spot was at the Blackfoot Truckstop Diner. It was ok. Wish the pork had seasoning. Lots of food to finish on the plate. At least we gave this place a try.

Fries are cold and hard, beef of beef dip is a little bit try. Mashed potato is a bit cold. Service is great, the lady is very nice.

If you want a true diner experience, this is the place to go. Atmosphere - Straight out of 1993. There is a cute train track that runs along the roof around the entire place. The music is full of fun classics Food - Very good and filling. Basics that you get at any diner but with a very fair price. Service - Probably one of the best in Calgary. They make you feel like family with all the terms of endearment. They check in on you, without annoying your time and they keep your cup filled. Highly recommend!

Interesting retro themed diner in a commercial area in Calgary. Went there on a weekday morning. Seemed popular with a variety of folks. Service was fast, pleasant and punctual. The menu is interesting and varied. Food was very good quality, really enjoyed our meals. My only gripe is the prices were a bit on the high side for a diner, but I suppose with inflation nowadays it’s kind of like that everywhere. Summary: great spot, would recommend.

Great staff, fast service, wonderful food! I believe this is the best breakfast I've ever had and my husband loved it too. Gave him part of mine because it was huge and delicious. Love the choices.

Really good food and server was really friendly. Not overly expensive and thought overall menu was better than some of the competitors. Diner is really well set out and gives that 50s & 60s vibe especially with sounds playing in the background.

The food and service were excellent. This place is a popular destination. Weekends are extremely busy . The coffee is bottomless. $7.00 for two people. Reasonable prices . It's definitely worth visiting ☺️

I was on my way to Costco and saw this restaurant so I decided to stop in for breakfast and I'm so happy I did! Not only was the food delicious but the experience was fantastic as well. Watching a well oiled machine pump out breakfast on a Sunday morning was entertaining, I felt like I was in a live episode of Diners Drive-Ins and dives sitting at the breakfast bar. A very nostalgic feeling restaurant. My server was fantastic and she recommended the Wagyu Benedict which was incredible and very filling! I can't wait to return to try something else and bring some friends.

Went to the washroom and they cleared my table of the carafe of coffee and cream… felt like they were off putted when I declined to sit at the counter and requested a booth… im dining alone but my comfort matters no? The Albertan Eggs benny wasn’t what I expected it was flavourless and wasn’t great at all actually…she asked if I wanted hot sauce to spice it up… good gawd no… add some spice in the kitchen please… at best was a good spot to waste some time before my Next appointment …a saddened faster who was excited for a yummy and savoury breakfast 😬

Tried Benny’s for the first time last weekend. Really awesome decor… kept my kids occupied until the food came! Food was really tasty though would have appreciated kids sized menu options. A bit pricey - benny bowl, traditional benny, perogie benny, blueberry pancakes, two coffees and two waters was over $80.

This spot has such a cute vintage diner vibe, which is pretty authentic. I do think the prices are a tad high, but the service was wonderful. Classic diner breakfast menu items.

Delicious food, amazing service, and, no issues! Food tasted amazing! I had the chipotle chicken burger and everything was cooked perfectly!

Friendly and speedy service. They made me a custom ham and cheese sandwich which was delicious. The hash browns were plentiful. A cute little diner vibe.

10/10 food and service with only two incredibly hard working employees. Food comes out fast and hot with only one (talented) guy in the kitchen working every station, then the worlds friendliest server takes turns with him in the dish pit. I've had a lot of breakfast in a lot of places and this one was truly the best. The belgian waffle breakfast will not disappoint. Come here and tip well, because the prices are great and they deserve it.

Warm, friendly diner in Marda Loop. Bottomless hashbrowns with most breakfast options!

Great little breakfast place! You get the full diner experience at Belmont Diner. It has about 5 tables and 10 bar seats so definitely be prepared for a wait during peak times. We waited about 45 min at noon on a Sunday. They have hot coffee and heaters outside while you wait. Service was great and the small staff was super friendly. They were working hard to get orders out and get people seated as quick as possible. We started with milkshakes - apple pie and creamsicle. We both got size small and it was definitely a small portion for $7 but they were tasty and just enough to tie us over before getting our food. We got the Calgary’s Choice Omelette and the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. We got the omelette with every single add in possible and it was one of the best omelettes we’ve every had. It was packed full of fresh veggies and lots of meat. The hash-browns weren’t the best we’ve had but not bad. They just needed more time to crisp on the flat top. The eggs Benny was to die for. It was one of the best eggs bennies I’ve ever had. Overall it was a great meal. We’d love to come back to try more items on the menu.

A great old style diner with a counter and stools. The food is great here too, I had the Chuck Norris. 2 eggs, choice of meat or veg on 2 potato pancakes and toast with Hot Holly sauce (spicy hollandaise) Update still great!

It’s a great spot for good honest food. Great breakfasts all day. Everything from your basic eggs and bacon with 2 sides to a Western Omelette. If your there later in the day they make a good burger. Great steak sandwich. For me a Good spot to start your day. There was a time 30 years ago when I went to the one on 14 street every weekday morning for breakfast on my way to work.

Iced coffee taste like sweet milk Regular simple food Not best place

During our dining experience, Patti, our server, exhibited exceptional customer service. Her friendly demeanor, extensive knowledge of the menu, and attentive nature contributed to an enjoyable meal. The quality of the food was commendable, leaving us with no areas of dissatisfaction. Traditional Bennys Corned Beef Bennys

Haven't been to Phil's for a while, but used to go to the one on 14th all the time. The food was exactly as I remember, and the service made me feel right at home. Highly recommend!

First time eating breakfast here. Ambiance is good. I noticed that mostly local people have breakfast and/ or brunch. Good for family, friends or business lunch meetings. Waiting time for food was fair, attentive and cheerful staff. Love the coffee refills. Food plating has definitely room for improvement. Serving size is fair to good. Food is okay and will definitely fill you up. Enjoyed the pancakes and waffle dessert. Tricky parking, I parked a couple of blocks and walked to the place. Recommended if you are wanting something new and tired of other breakfast places.

This was absolutely the worst breakfast I ever had. I had the 2 eggs, with 3 pancakes , chubbies, & bacon and an extra side of sour dough toast. The chubbies were like cardboard, the bacon was way overcooked ( also like cardboard ) the pancakes ( 1 came late ) the entire meal was terrible and not worth the $32.10 I paid…. Which I thought the breakfast was $17.95 plus the extra order of sourdough…… It was outrageous! And disgusting! Never I repeat! Never again! Absolutely horrible! I should have had the 2 egg breakfast at another eatery 3 blocks south on 11 Street which featured bottomless hash brown (no pancakes) for $12.95. But I will absolutely not eat here again! You could not give it away it was that bad!

Phil’s has always been one of our families favourite spots, I’ve been many times at other locations, but this was by far the worst experience my family and I have ever had. Our service was baffling. Our server completely missed basic cues, and failed to check in with us throughout the meal. My kids’ drinks were left empty, and even when she dropped off condiments, she didn’t bother to ask if we needed refills or anything else. As someone who used to work as a server, I find it disheartening to post negative reviews and try and offer grace, we are only human, but this was just too much to ignore. I haven’t eaten red meat since I was a child, and I’ve always had the option to swap out bacon or sausage for something else. But when I asked this time, the server told me she “had never done that before” and that there wasn’t a “button on the screen for it” Dietary preferences should be easy to accommodate, and this response was beyond aggravating. My entire life, I've never seen a refusal for a dietary request by a restaurant or any other Phil’s I’ve been to. To make matters worse, the server spilled my daughter’s orange juice when setting down the glass, didn’t apologize, and didn’t offer to clean it up, she just walked away quickly after. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. This was by far the worst Phil’s experience I’ve had and probably the worst restaurant experience overall. There were so many issues that I can’t even list them all. Bottom line, we won’t be returning to this location

We came here on a Sunday morning. Less customer. Food were great. Just have to wait a little. Customer service was awesome. Only concern is that food prices were a bit high. Free parking available at the back of the building. Street parking is also available.

The food was literally so good. I could have eaten so much more. I got the Blueberry Cheese and it was amazing. Dan gave us wonderful customer service and he is a very humble and nice guy. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a sweet treat or to try something new.

Great waffles place. Their savory plates are highly recommended too. We ordered the croissant with egg bacon and lettuce and we loved it. Coffee is good too and the waffles are amazing so fluffy. Come with a mindset to wait about 20 mins for your food. Take it easy relax and enjoy.

We had some yummylicious pancakes at this Fuwa Fuwa Dessert Cafe in Edmonton. There are so many choices for you to choose from and every pancake on their menu looks amazingly delicious! We tried the Crème Brûlée ($16.99) and Matcha Tiramisu ($15.99). Both pancakes tasted amazing and the texture was soft and fluffy! Next on our list are Blueberry Cheese, Matcha White Chocolate and also Fuwa Fuwa Signature Pancake. Looking forward to our next visit!

Aesthetic interior and appealing food. There were a lot of options that were all appealing to me, but I only took the Fuwa Fuwa Signature and a macaron. The pancakes were super fluffy, however, they tasted really eggy. I’d probably come back here for a different pancake with more flavour to overcome the eggy flavour along with a drink! As the beverage options all looked appealing to me.

The owner is so awesome and friendly :) The pancakes are the best I have ever had! 😋 And awesome they have games to play and no time limit of how long to take there. Very comfortable place to enjoy delicious food!

The food was delicious. I had the ham & cheese croffle and soufflé pancake. The croffle was my favourite. It was buttery with a nice crunch. I had to get a 2nd croffle to go.

Fantastic brunch at May. The shakshouka is excellent. Easily the best in the city. And the vindaloo mushroom toast was so tasty too! Chicken thigh on the French toast was yummy! Service was excellent!! Washrooms are starting to show some wear and tear which is surprising.

Very simply put, this is by far the best brunch spot I've been to in years. Our group of four walked in and we were immediately greeted with smiles from the bartender and wait staff. The space itself is clean, inviting, and relaxing. We all ordered a variety of cocktails throughout the seating, all of which were outstanding and each unique in its own way. These were beautifully crafted cocktails, made with fresh and quality ingredients; mixed and measured skillfully with passion and precision by the fantastic bartender. Our waitress Shelby was brilliant! She took care of us like no other, great smile and nothing but laughs. She didn't miss a single beat, we always had a drink in front of us accompanied by her recommendations for the next one! The food was phenomenal, there is no other way of describing it. We started with the tempura oyster mushrooms to share. The table was silent for several minutes as we demolished this wonderful appetizer. I ordered the Chorizo Verde hash bowl, stunning presentation and smells as it came to the table. Everything was made to perfection. The hollandaise sauce had me in awe, the table collectively agreeing it was the best they'd ever tasted. The corn and pepper relish served on top had me excited for each and every bite, adding an explosion of flavours and texture. Each bite different and tantalizing. The rest of table explored the Farmers Brunch and the Shakshuka, each person silent as they ventured through their meal aside from sounds of gratitude. We left with our souls feeling full of memorable drink and food. We will be back, rest assured. I am waiting on baited breathe to return and adventure through their dinner menu and service! Don't forget to try the Chai Martini! You won't regret.

First of all: Wow! The service (Jesse from Vancouver?) was great and the food delicious. We ordered the bread roll for an appy, then the sirloin and the gnocchi. The gnocchi wasn’t my thing, but my boyfriend absolutely loved it and everything about it was thought after and made well (just the flavours weren’t my thing). The SIRLOIN…that stole the show! Tender, flavourful and it just hit the spot. Alberta beef according to our server, which is even better. My only one complaint is…Why didn’t I know about this place sooner? I’m a young girl in my 20’s looking for spots like this and I had never heard of it. Both times I went it was dead (the vibes were still great), but I have the feeling more people are in the same boat. I will tell as many people as I can about this place, but I do think the owner is going to have to do some serious marketing because this gem is truly hidden. It also looks like it’s closed from the outside, I’d recommend to have lighting of some sort. So yeah, I’m a little frustrated that I’m always on social media and have had no opportunity to hear about it. That being said, I loved it and I wish May all the best! Can’t wait to come back! 🫶🏼

We had a great evening at May. Brad took care of us very well. I can’t remember the last time we had such attentive service. The restaurant is beautiful with nice wooden tables, comfortable seating, and a stunning bar. The drinks tasted great, with a vast selection of wine, cocktails and aperitif. We enjoyed the food. The chicken drums and cucumber salad were delicious.

The food was on the salty side; first few bites were great, but it quickly got tiring to eat. The presentation, atmosphere, and service were fantastic however. I ordered a mocktail and the orrecchiette with an addition of chicken thigh. The chicken was an additional 8$, so I expected a bit more chicken than received. Service was very friendly and she did her best to get our orders to us promptly.

Second time at May restaurant- came for dinner this time. Everything was excellent! All dishes were very well seasoned and full of flavor. Each dish was very unique. We ordered everything to come out all at once. Oyster Tempura Mushrooms - very earthy, unique flavor. Everyone loved it, even the ones who typically don't love Mushrooms. Honey Coriander Chicken Drums- excellent! Roasted Parsnips- favorite dish! Sirloin- full of flavor. Simple, but delicous. Lamb- tender. Delicous. Dessert- Basque Vanilla Bean Cheesecake- very unique. Not too sweet. Great to share. Service was excellent. Our server had everything memorized. Food came out fast. Overall a great experience.

Went for brunch and it was amazing! I have a few severe dietary restrictions and the chef personally came out to talk to me about the menu and what he could do for me! He was such a genuinely great guy and easy to talk to! Our food came out amazing with no issues. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a more private and intimate meal!

Its been a couple years since I've been in and wish I remembered to go more often. The food is soon good. So much flavour and the texture is amazing. I went with my meat eating friend and she said the texture of the Mongolian chicken is spot on for real meat. I even had my husband eat my leftovers when he got home and said the same. This place is for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. They also have gluten free options. Defiantly don't sit on coming to Padmanadis, it's so good. The service is great too.

Visiting Edmonton from California, we weren’t sure what to expect in terms of vegan food. This restaurant blew us away. The flavors were delicious and creative, the best vegan Asian food I’ve had tied with a small restaurant in Santa Monica, California. We loved all three dishes we tried, and will be heading back for brunch on our way out of town. Their staff was well informed and helpful, there is a separate gluten-free menu, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. This is a must try!

Love this restaurant. I enjoy 😊 coming to both this location and, the south side one. Surprisingly, each has a different menu. This location is bigger as is their menu options. The service is wonderful and friendly and the food is always fresh. I love all of the creative Vegan dishes and, plan to try their buffet they offer once a month. Thank you for a great meal 😊🤗😊

Went to their monthly buffet and it was amazing. The selection of foods they offered was great. So were the desserts. Best ginger beef I've ever had! Much prefer it to actual beef. They had vegetable dishes. A lot of good tofu dishes. Their lemon shrimp is amazing as well as their rice pudding and everything! Highly recommend.

Tried Padmanadi for the first time and it’s truly a hidden gem! A friend recommended it, and we’re so glad we checked it out. The food was full of flavor and the vegan options are amazing. Definitely worth coming back — highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty plant-based dishes in Edmonton!

One of my favourite spots in the city to eat! They have got a great menu to select from. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Amazing Atmosphere! The price for a group of over 15 people was only $300. Which was amazing. We ordered soooo much food and it was sooo good. Highly recommend. The rendang curry and the ginger beef was amazing! If you are vegan or vegetarian please go there! They pay really good attention to your dietary needs as well and made something special for my grandpa who has some special dietary needs.

An absolutely amazing evening and drinks. Would highly recommend! Unfortunately I did not have any food at this location, but it looked and smelled amazing. I had a handful of old fashioned drinks. Absolutely amazing! Lots of options and combinations available. If you are a fan of old fashions I cannot recommend this place enough. One of the best I’ve had. Period. Prices are a touch high, but well worth it. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Service was very quick and courteous. Staff were able to expand on options available, and make recommendations. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. It was busy (as I was there on Valentines Day) but still managed to find seating easily. Location is good, and in the heart of downtown Calgary. Bar is also attached to a hotel making it very convenient. Overall, would highly recommend!

I was here for a work meeting. When we walked inside I was greeted by a very nice hostess, followed by our server. The service here is absolutely amazing. It really did raise the ambiance of the environment. My steak was gorgeous and cooked perfectly. My tuna was very fresh and presented nicely. We all had a wonderful night here. If I was in Calgary again, staying at the Marriott, I would definitely come back to dine here again. Our continental breakfast was delicious and satisfying as well.

SO GRATEFUL - SUCCESSFUL, WONDERFUL BREAKFAST FOR 25 I was in town for an annual conference (Rotary, 15k attendees from around the world). This year, like previous years held in different Intl cities, I hosted a breakfast for ~25 of my special friends/colleagues who were attending the conference with me. A month prior, I interviewed three restaurants. I ended up contracting with ONE18 EMPIRE because of: a) their location -- easily walkable to Stampede Park b) my trust in Marriott-linked restaurants, and c) how their manager (Angelyn Goc-Oban) collaborated with me. I wasn't disappointed. - FOOD: Wonderful private breakfast buffet. My friends commented how this was so much better than their hotel's breakfast selection. Not the typical bucket of eggs, bacon, and fruit. Chef-prepared. Bespoke. (see buffet menu pic) We were also able to order off a menu for those with special food needs. Nice! - ATMOSPHERE/VENUE: We were given a private room with three tables (Mc Tavish Room - see pics). The buffet was around the corner. The room was special because of the rolling "barn doors" that opened the room up during socializing and buffet time, but could be closed to provide intimacy while we ate and talked. - SERVICE: I arrived about 30 minutes early. Faya, our lead server met me and walked me through everything. She even brought me an early coffee. As the morning progressed, she ensured the buffet remained stocked, turned off the overhead speaker music, and helped late arrivals get seated. Wow! Faya was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND: I would definitely recommend ONE18 for small-group breakfasts. Angelyn is a great F&B operations manager -- who will work directly with you and also ensure a strong team member (like Faya) will take good care of your group. And, the kitchen team prepared the best breakfast buffet I've seen for a restaurant in general or for a small group. Oh, additional note. One of our breakfast group accidently left behind a few items. The ONE18 team secured the items and worked with me to get the items back to the owner the next day. Relief!

our party of 6 came here for a night cap and so glad we did. Our waitress Daniellis was so awesome making our various smoked old fashions! She was extremely friendly, educated us on what drinks were delicious, and she made us the most amazing old fashions! We highly recommend this bar for Old Fashions made in a unique way 👌🏾

Amazing restaurant with exceptional service. I had a very delicious burrata cheese, lots of thanks to Angelyn for a recommendation. Chocolate Whisky Cheesecake was also great! Highly recommended!

We stumbled upon this place on our walk downtown Calgary and called to book a reservation for a dinner of four and were told to just walk in since it wasn’t busy. When we arrived, the staff wasn’t welcoming and didn’t show us to our spot but instead told to seat wherever. The seating area was designed to fit guests on two. The guy told us he’ll be sending someone to put the table together in order to fit 4 of us but nobody ever came to do that. We did it ourselves. Our waitress wasn’t nice and understanding. We felt pressured to find what to order but in the end we couldn’t stay at a place where we didn’t feel welcomed by the staff. We decided to leave. One thing about their menu, it’s very selective and doesn’t have any sort of fish or seafood. I don’t recommend at the very least not the one located downtown

It's definitely one of the top spots for a great Old Fashioned. Didn't get around to ordering the mains, but all the appetizers were delicious. We were hoping for a better service, as we left without a chance of ordering a third round after sitting there empty-handed for close to half an hour.

We had a great experience at ihop, went there yesterday evening. There was plenty of parking, which made it really convenient. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Our server, Joey, did an excellent job—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious! The strawberry banana pancakes were absolutely amazing, and the cinnamon dippers were fantastic. Overall, a wonderful visit with great service and tasty food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The service was wonderful. We were greatest the moment we got in. We were seated and our waitress came right away. They had our food out to us within 15 mins. I was surprised at how fast it was. And let me tell you how amazing the food was! OMG, the chef deserves a raise. That had to be handsdown one of the best burgers I have ever had at a restaurant before. And this is coming from a former chef. Price wise. Everything is $20 for a meal. A little expensive for a breakfast, but what isn't these days! I just went for the "more bang for my buck". A glass of pop was $4.10. I also thought that was a little ridiculous too. But it was a wonderful day with my daughter! You NEED to go here!

ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS SERVICE. Got to I-Hop at 12:40. I was the only person in the lobby.. other than the homeless loitering… no one hostess or anyone greeting people at the door… then they needed to put me on a waitlist for a table, which was strange as we were the only people there… Another family came in shortly after me with the same amount people.. they seated them ahead of my family… The establishment was next to empty.. Finally we sat.. waited 20 mins before we got our drinks served… no cream for coffee. Waited over an hour to eat with 3 small kids, an elderly lady and a pregnant woman. The only redeeming quality of this establishment was the food when it finally came. Waited another 20 mins and had to go find someone for the bill.

Good spot for breakfast. The restaurant was super busy but the food came out quite quickly, hot and exactly how we ordered. The kids enjoyed the happy face pancakes. Restaurant was clean and I liked that they bring the pot of coffee to your table

Had the Poblano Omelette with extra meat and buttermilk pancakes, quite delicious! Omelette was flavorful and hearty, pancakes were fluffy enough for me to finish it. Great service and a welcoming vibe. IHOP on Calgary Trail is always consistent.

I visited this place yesterday with my friend. We were attended by Geeta. I must say, she is very professional and friendly. We ordered chicken omlette and cheesecake waffle.. Chicken was cooked to perfection and waffle was amazing, more over the food is reasonably priced.. Had a wonderful experience and I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.. planning to visit this weekend as well.

Pancakes were really good. Service was quick and friendly. We always seem to end up here when we are in Calgary.

Dropped into the Route 99 Diner for breakfast for the first time the other day. Well first off was greeted within seconds of walking through the door. The staff were very friendly and helpful our server Melinda was great made sure our coffee's were maintained at all times of our meal. The atmosphere of this place is just like a diner should be with lots of cool and unique stuff to look at. The meals we had ordered were pretty good for the most part my wife enjoyed her steak sandwich. I myself had the an original breakfast only issue I had was with my eggs being cooked over easy and not medium but I didn't mention anything about it... Had I mentioned it I am 💯 certain they would have made new ones... I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys the diner vibe and traditional home style cooked meals with top notch service... Will be back again!

Every thing was good. We ordered French toast, poutine and steak in our breakfast. The quantity of food was pretty good except French toast and they kinda change the recipe of it was bit dry.

A lovely spot for a simple yet nostalgic breakfast. Nothing fancy, but the food hits the comfort zone just right. The ambiance gives off a warm, old-school charm, and the service is top-notch. Best of all, it’s easy on the wallet — definitely a hidden gem for a cozy morning.

Awesome spot! Clubhouse was great, coleslaw was stellar. Diner special pizza was legit. Kids had french toast and spaghetti with meat sauce, which were also super yummy! Love the vibe and atmosphere.

Route 99 Diner is a true throwback to the classic 1950s diner experience…bright red booths, retro décor, and a menu packed with comfort food favorites. The energy inside feels welcoming and nostalgic, the kind of place where families, students, and locals all gather for a hearty meal. On my last visit, I had a burger with lettuce, and they were able to accommodate my gluten-free diet without hesitation. That extra level of care stood out…the staff didn’t make it complicated, just handled it with a smile, and the end result was delicious. The burger was juicy and flavorful, with crisp lettuce and fresh toppings that made it feel lighter but still satisfying. The portions here are generous, and prices are very fair for the quality and portion size. Service is fast and personable, even when the diner gets busy during peak times. Whether you’re in the mood for pancakes, omelets, or a classic burger and fries, this spot consistently delivers. If you’re looking for an unfussy, authentic diner experience with staff that go the extra mile for dietary needs, Route 99 is an easy recommendation.

The place is kind of dirty. It has cute decor but it’s all caked is greasy dust. The cups are always dirty, which doesn’t make me confident the plates & cutlery is clean. I The service is pretty good but the food isn’t great. I was charged for a bagel & cream cheese, however I had to spread it myself from 2 tiny cream cheese packages. If I have to do the work, stop charging so much. I ordered 1 egg breakfast & got 2 or 3, also be aware when you order over hard egg, they will be cripsy. This is disappointing because years ago this was our spot, it’s really gone down hill cleanliness-wise.

Seems to be a very popular place,always busy. Large home style cooking and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back.

Had a nice time at Blue Chair for breakfast with the family. Food was very good we got the traditional breakfast, kids meal was a great portion size & the banana bread French toast was yummy. Service was great & the grapefruit mimosa was very refreshing.

Funky little cafe tucked away in Ritchie. Live music during Sunday brunch. Decent prices, quality ingredients and a damn good cup of coffee. We had brisket eggs Benedict and traditional breakfast. The variety of fruit on the side was a nice touch.

Not a bad little place. Cheese Omelette was super cheesy, which is awesome. Was told the Eggs Bennie was tasty. Potatoes were a little bland but not too bad. Will return

Blue Chair is one of those rare gems where music and food come together perfectly. The menu is thoughtful and approachable, with food that’s always satisfying, but the real magic is the vibe. Whether it’s a live music night or just a regular evening, the energy is warm, welcoming, and a little eclectic. Staff are attentive and know how to keep things moving without ever making you feel rushed. If you want a meal paired with atmosphere and artistry, this is the place.

A great local haunt - delicious food, fantastic service, and a cool vibe. They also do a fantastic job of bringing on local music for evenings and Sunday brunch. Pretty much everything I've had in the past has been incredible. I decided to try the huevos rancheros this time. It was OK, which could have been enhanced with some salsa or other typical fixings. Again, every other meal I've had in the past has been fantastic! Big plus... their hot sauce is amazing!!

Blue Chair Cafe offers a unique dining experience with its cozy sitting area, contrasting with the more formal ambiance of renowned restaurants. While the food was simple and enjoyable, it could have been enhanced. The pricing seemed a bit higher compared to the restaurant’s facilities. Despite this, the servers were responsive and attentive to our calls.

This is such a fantastic spot!! The owner and staff are the best. The food & drinks are ALWAYS on point. Add in live music…what more could you ask for? Nothing. Definitely worth the visit ❤️

Went to Denny’s a few days ago for the first time! My entire table had breakfast for dinner and I had mine with a mango smoothie (10/10). Our server was kind and quick, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back. :)

Excellent server her name was Jasenka. She was attentive and caring. She handled our order with great care. Would make a recommendation to come here. It feels good to have a smiling friendly worker attend to your needs.

I came in for dinner on Monday. The food was really good and I enjoyed my visit. However, the service wasn’t the best. The manager, Kashish, had quite an attitude and wasn’t very pleasant when speaking with customers. I feel she could be more polite and professional in her interactions. Other than that, everything else was good.

Not bad , cheap with large portions of food. Sun was out that day so we ate on their spacious patio.

I was served water in a glass that was clearly dirty, I didn’t notice right away but the glass tasted salty and unclean, and then I saw that the glass was sticky on the side with a chunks of food and syrup. Very clearly dirty and so disappointing. No idea how this place has such good reviews I have a friend who was served sausage that was raw in the middle (separate visit ) I only noticed the glass was dirty because of the syrup how many times has this happened and it just hasn’t been noticeable?

This was my first time eating at this location. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. I didn't have to wait long to put in my order and it arrived at the table after a brief wait. The Berry Stuffed French toast was delicious! The drizzle of strawberry puree on top was so yummy I asked for a little more. Such a great meal and atmosphere, I will have to come by the next time I am in downtown Edmonton. FYI - If you are really hungry then order the Berry Stuffed French Toast Slam. In addition to your French toast you get eggs done your way, bacon and sausage.

I came here over the weekend with my boyfriend. Our service here was... fine. Our server's name was Jessica. She seemed annoyed with us? Not sure why. The service was EXTREMELY slow. It took about 30 minutes to get waters and orange juice. My sausages were also undercooked. We also weren't told that our bill wasn't going to get brought up so we waited a while after our food was brought out (finally) and we realized that we had to pay the hostess up front.

Food was pretty decent. Their potatoes were great. Eggs were alright. I wouldn’t go again as it wasn’t to it’s full expectation. I really didn’t appreciate how cold my dish was, it was barely warm which was my biggest negative about it all. My friend’s dish took extremely long to get to the table even though it was just an omelet and they slightly mixed up what she ordered.

Awesome little spot on 17th Ave! We went on late on a Tuesday since I was craving breakfast and this was perfect. My partner got the poutine and the gravy was excellent. Generous portions for both, great value in an area that can run pretty pricey. I also got the chai latte (surprised they also had almond milk on the menu as well for the dairy-free crowd) which was delicious, learn from my mistake though the shaker is NOT cinnamon.

The service here is absolutely amazing. Both the manager and the staff was so nice and kind. The portion in this restaurant was big, and the food was fantastic. I would definitely come again next time when I visit Calgary. Highly recommend the pumpkin milk shake, which is made from the owner's own recipe!

Great place for breakfast. Lot's of tables available and great menu options. We had smoked meat breakfast and breakfast poutine. Both were perfect. This place also has two other businesses inside. A fried chicken to go (Nim's) and an ethiopian menu. Fried chicken place is amazing and looking forward to try the ethiopian food.

Cute, diner experience with modern interior serving all day brunch and dinner. During our visit, the staff was welcoming, attentive and friendly - everything you could ask for during a brunch stop. Food was expertly prepared, and clearly made fresh in house - hash browns were fresh cut!!! I highly recommend this for any of your brunch/breakfast needs. I will be returning to try the dinner menu.

The customer service is top notch! Very accommodating with our complicated request. My wife doesn’t eat meat but I do. So we were able to request to have a few modifications done on our order without feeling like we were being too difficult. My wife is also pregnant and was able to have the hollandaise sauce cooked well (which it is originally already). I ordered the Benedict Florentine and wifey ordered breakfast poutine. I also ordered the chai masala tea and that was a delight, very refreshing and well sweetened. The portions you get for your plate is huge! We barely could finish our food, very good price value for what you get. We just was hoping the hollandaise sauce had more umph, it taste lacked flavour in our opinion but overall the food was good!

My food was absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind! We even got a free soup while we waited for our food. I will definitely be coming back. (Ps. There were 2 eggs Benedict’s but I had to eat one because it looked too good… and it was) Thank you!

What a fantastic experience this has been. The food is amazing, French toast browned to my opinion of perfection. Scrambled eggs are great, they hold their shape and have great texture. I don't know how they are made but much better than some of the slimy out of the carton stuff I've been served at other breakfast locations. Sausages are fantastic as well as the diced potatoes. Not too much seasoning on the potatoes which really let's them shine. All the staff members were very busy and took the time to smile and greet me as I entered, and I haven't wanted for a full coffee cup the entire time. It is very bright, welcoming and everyone seems happy to be here. Excellent decor and food selection too. Super happy about my visit, thank you very much to the staff at this location for maintaining such great environment and quality.

The food here is delicious! Pancakes are very fluffy and the coloring sheets are great too! -according to my 9 year old daughter Tammy was our Server. We had the best brunch ever!

Just had a great breakfast at this place! The food was pretty good, but it's not the main reason to visit. Our server was absolutely awesome, made our morning so much better. Definitely a nice spot for seniors to hang out and enjoy a good meal. If you're looking for a cozy breakfast spot, this is the one. Check it out if you're in the area! #BreakfastTime #SeniorHangout #FoodieLife #GoodTimes #LocalFavorites

We were really excited to try this place out for breakfast. It would have been so much better if half of our meals were not still raw. I was really disappointed that I had to recook my house potatoes at home after they got delivered. My partner and I both had really oily raw potatoes for hash browns. It was not the feel good food experience you would expect from a place that specializes in breakfast food and discourages me from trying them again.

Been another year. Service was not the best this time around the pancakes were still good but the rest of the food was nothing to write home about. Looking up boom dust still! Clean your ceiling no one wants the to fall on their food! Been a year now how is it? Still 2 stars service was good the menus are the same they just put red tape over the alcohol section guess printing new ones cost to much? Ordered eggs sausage and pancakes. The eggs I found shell in them told waitress and she said "that's what you get when using fresh eggs" and I was like but is it hard to take shell out? Anyway she took my eggs back and brought me new ones with no shell! The sausage was meh but the pancakes were amazing! Would have given the review 4 stars but I looked up and omg get a duster.

This place is an old school diner. It was clean but quiet. When My wife and I ordered the food came mixed up on two places and was cooked in a little too much oil but it was pretty good. Although the interior needs an update, it leaves you with a little nostalgia feeling. The cost of two basic breakfasts was a little steep at $32 but stop in if you have a little time for friendly food fare.

Pretty good food, the smoked salmon eggs Benedict was incredible but a little bit on the expensive side. The breakfast poutine would have been 8~10/10 if the potatoes were crispy or even cooked properly. They were kinda raw and icky after a while

We had the Lotus Milk Cake, it tastes like Ras Malai. A little to sweet for my taste. Given the portion size, it is more than enough for two people. However, the price is a bit steep, not justifying the hype. The server, Judy, is amazing. She is informative (knew the menu), attentive, and has a friendly demanour. Judy's verbal communication skills are top-notch and it felt like she was passionately trying to help the patrons for the food selections and preferences.

Dessert Heaven! Hosted my book club meetup at DSpot Dessert Café, and let’s just say we were blown away. The atmosphere was cozy, the vibes were on point, and the food? Oh my, the food. We had waffles, croffles, and crepes. It was like the dessert gods themselves sent down their finest creations. We ate like there was no tomorrow and then talked about how great the food was for an hour after. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to indulge in sweet treats while pretending to be productive (book club-style), this is your place. Warning: you’ll probably need to loosen your pants by the end. Highly recommend!

Delicious food and great service. Our server Adil was very friendly, patient and professional. Price looks expensive, but worth the money. Highly recommended

First time going to a dspot, and to be honest I had heard a lot of good things before. The food was awesome, and the place itself was beautifully structured. It was bright colours and comfortable seating, just how one would expect. It definitely meet my expectations. However, I was not the biggest fan of the lady who was serving us. She was not particularly rude, but seemed to be impatient and did not seem happy to be there. Keep in mind the place was pretty much empty so there was no reason for her to be in a rush. I also went to ask for a receipt and they asked me to come back, which took up some of our time. The atmosphere and food were great, but the service caused me to give this place a 4 star review. Would definitely recommend dspot, just maybe not this particular location:(

I dined in today and loved it, as always! But this time, my server was absolutely amazing—truly out of this world. Shoutout to Judy—she made our night! Everything tasted so good, and the service was top-notch. Despite being busy, she handled everything so gracefully. I’ll definitely be back again

Very cute and cozy place. Friendly and welcoming staff. The food is amazing! Our favorite dessert is Divide and Conquer!

Wow- just simply wow! Today was my almost 10th visit at D-Sport- and once again from the food to the service to the cleanliness everything was TOP NOTCH. If you haven’t been there yet- you missing it out. And if you have already been there once or twice- you definitely deserve few more visits more often as there’s a lot more options on the new menu! You must try it out❤️

Super cute place with awesome staff members! The vibe in there is super calm and light which was very relaxing. Staff welcomed us with smiles and were very personable. Food was amazing! They offer so many of the right options but not too many so it was not overwhelming looking at the menu. Really unique drinks and had great presentation with the food. Staff were very accommodating to any adjustment requests made to the order:) the only reason I gave 4 stars for the food is the portion size. The avocado toast was 16$ and it was only one slice of toast- but it was very good so it really depends how hungry you are and how much you are willing to spend. I WOULD recommend this to others

Was so delicious! Definitely recommend. I’ve struggled eating but this chicken sandwich was too good to resist. Shout out to all the staff, cookers and everyone working everyone was very nice and did an amazing job with food, costumer service, and the design making it feel so welcoming and cozy, this place definitely reminds me of Hell’s Kitchen with everyone working together and not disappointing:3

I ordered on Uber eats and I gotta say I was pretty disappointed for the price. $18.00 for this? Taste was okay but portion was pretty small and the holandaise sauce wasn't like any hollandaise sauce I've ever had, very watery. It was more like a vinaigrette. Perhaps dining there is better

After picking up a Mother’s Day brunch and enjoying that, we picked up a Father’s Day brunch last Sunday only to find that the order was not up to par, specifically the avocado toasts and the fruit cups on the side. We weren’t able to start the day on the right note after finding moldy blueberries in one of the fruit cups. Disappointing to say the least!

Food was great, just disappointed that we were charged extra to have maple syrup to go with the pancakes. I’ve never been charged to have syrup on my pancakes before. Pancakes come with syrup…always. They need to fix that. Otherwise the food was great and presented well.

Glad we were able to call ahead for a table as we were 3 mins away. Staff was nice and this is a kid friendly place. Food came out quickly. I got the spicy salmon bowl, the eggs were poached soft perfect but I thought there was way too much green spinach puree and the smoked salmon got lost in the dish itself.

We visited on a Sunday with my partner and family, expecting a nice meal, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. We were told there would be a 25-minute wait, but when we returned after that time, we had to wait an additional 10 minutes to be seated. Once seated, we waited another 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. The only options offered were water or coffee, and after another 20-minute wait, we were finally able to place our order. It took 30 more minutes for the food to arrive, and when it did, it was cold. While the food itself tasted fine, it wasn’t nearly worth the $50 for two groups of two people. The service was incredibly slow – we only saw our server twice during the entire two-hour visit. Between the long waits and lackluster service, this was a very frustrating experience, and I won’t be returning. Definitely not recommending it to others.

We recently had our wedding dinner reception for 65 guests at Park by Sidewalk Citizen. We gravitated towards the space because my husband and I wanted an intimate gathering but also loved the warmth the solarium brought. We loved that we had to only decorate the space minimally. We were lucky to have great weather on the day of our event which allowed us to utilize their patio for canape hour and gave our guests some extra space to mingle. In addition to the atmosphere, the food, cocktails and the service were also exceptional. We planned our event with Park's events manager as part of their Day-of-coordination add on and they were on top of checking in periodically to ensure our decisions and vision were aligned and they can execute what we had planned before the big day. We had several in person and video meetings and we thought their events manager and service team were really personable and great in communicating with us. We also had the opportunity to have a food and beverage menu tasting and a separate dessert tasting beforehand which allowed us to enjoy and make selections for our reception menu. Our guests and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Park. A lot of our guests said they would love to return again for casual dining and commented on how the food and drinks were very good. Some notable dishes our guests really enjoyed were the fried chicken and halloumi skewer, the cauliflower, flatiron steak and the cod. Highly recommend them for the wonderful food and beverage and exceptional events services.

We had the lamb neck pita, potato pancake and shakshouka. The lamb neck pita was an absolute knock out! Very flavourful and the pita itself was great. The shakshouka was good, as was the potatoe pancake but we found the potatoe pancake was too dry. The service was fantastic and everyone there was really kind.

Park will always hold the most special place in our hearts!! It’s rare to find a space where the food, atmosphere & people are equally amazing but park really is just that incredible. My husband and I discovered park about two years ago and it quickly became our favourite place to bring friends and family for a visit. When it came time to plan our wedding, naturally, we couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate. David, who is an absolute dream to work with, truly has the most impeccable taste in everything. His passion for great wine & delicious food as well as his extensive hospitality experience really are at the forefront of everything he does and it shows. He made the planning process an absolute breeze & pleasure from start to finish. The entire team at park are so fun and are some of the most welcoming, sunshiney people you’ll ever meet. The atmosphere they’ve created is so cool & well-curated and has the most amazing energy, we really are so happy we got to share it with so many of our favourite people. The space is also incredibly photographable, with some of the most stunning natural light, decor & architecture I’ve ever seen. The food & drinks at Park really are unlike anything else in the city, everything from the quality of the ingredients to the presentation (both in regular service and at our wedding) are in a tier of their own. The food & drinks mattered most to us for our wedding and we couldn’t have been in better hands. We’re obsessed with the fact that their ever-talented chef ferments drinks & dry-ages meats in house, just a few of the many special things they have to offer. Everything about Park is so tasteful, unique & inviting, they really go above and beyond to curate things for you. They’re incredibly accommodating about dietary requirements (gluten free etc) and did an amazing job creating a signature mocktail option for some of our guests. This really is a love letter from us to the entire team at Park, you blew us away even when we didn’t think we could love you more! Thank you endlessly for everything- if you haven’t had the pleasure of dining with them or planning a special event here, PLEASE do!! 1000000/10

I ordered the Mushroom Khachapuri and a Lamb Neck Pita Wrap. I was filled up by the Mushroom Khachapuri and had to take the pita wrap home. Great portions for the cost. Flavor was exceptional 😋

Amazing small plates and cocktails with great flavour and a well thought out menu. Fair prices as well, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu and come back.

A meal so good that when it pops into your cravings (often) - you'd go for brunch alone just to satisfy yourself? This is it. Park by Sidewalk Citizen is a go-to for Calgary brunch in a cute location great for groups, dates, and family. While a classic-sunnyside-up-loving-Dad may at first be skeptical of the menu, everyone we have brought here has had rave reviews and said they'd be back! Ask the servers questions if you have them, and enjoy the fresh ingredients and interesting flavours, including their refreshing Kombucha. 🍴Grady's pick: Ham Kachapuri or Shakshuka 🍴Hayley’s pick: Breakfast Arayes or Mushroom Kachapuri 🍴For the table: Potato Pancake

Wonderful, intimate dinner with fresh, beautifully plated meals. Great drinks selection and super friendly staff.

The place has a nice aesthetic, perfect for taking some Instagram-worthy photos. The drinks were okay, but the “4 pancakes” were a bit of a letdown. They tasted like eggs, which was a bit off-putting for the price of $50. The presentation was good, though, and the drinks were refreshing. I wouldn’t go back for breakfast, but it was a cool experience. It’s more of a dessert-style cafe, so I’m not sure if it’s the right place for a hearty breakfast. If they didn’t taste so much like eggs, I might be more inclined to return. 🥞

I had the salmon croffle with a hot chocolate. I wanted a decaf latte but they don’t have it so I was a little sad about that. The croffle has ricotta cheese in the sauce which isn’t mentioned on the menu or when you order. I enjoyed it but I don’t generally eat much dairy so I would have preferred to know ahead of time. The food and drink were delicious and I would come back. The mixed greens in the sandwich were fresh. Nice flavours. What is a croffle ? It’s a croissant pressed into a waffle !!

Visited here for the very first time. Saw them on instagram. Ordered tiramisu pancake and their signature pancakes along with latte. But u need to wait for at least 15-20minutes for your order as they prepare fresh batter for all the pancakes. Trust me it’s worth the wait. I haven’t had such delicious pancakes before. So soft and so fluffy. Also the latte was so delicious. We are certainly going back to try other types of pancakes.

All I can say is.....its sooo gooood! A must try if you love Pancakes... These pancakes are softer than marshmallows. Updated review (2025 January) Dined in, still good food, great drink, friendly staff) good touch of golden utensils for customers.

It’s a bit pricy, but the food is delicious. The pancakes are fluffy as they advertised. I tried the smoked salmon croffle and fell in love with it. Drinks were all just so so. They offer free water, so that’s what I will go with next time!

Went here for breakfast recently and had a great experience. I first had the smoked salmon croffle sandwich. It was fantastic, the sauce they put on it has so much flavour and the smoked salmon and veggies were very fresh. My partner had the original fluffy pancakes and they were also very tasty and not overly sweet. I finished off with a chocolate roll cake and salted caramel latte. Both were excellent, the chocolate roll cake is less moist then I thought but was still excellent. The salted caramel latte is definitely a dessert type drinks as it is sweet but I loved it. The place is clean and staff were friendly. Also not overly priced for a nice breakfast. For 2 people plus tip it was $47

The coffee was average, but the pancake was fantastic! I ordered the French toast pancake, and it was wonderfully light and delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't like the decor and atmosphere; it was a little dirty and not very comfortable. Additionally, there was a weird smell in the back while I was sitting there. Anyway, I would still go back, but I'd just get takeout and skip the coffee.

A breakfast and lunch restaurant in the heart of downtown Calgary. I think it has some sort of South/Eastern Asian vibe. Tried crab meat for the first time and it was great. So, I’ll recommend the Fried Crab Meat Scramble (one of the halal options). Please ask for what is halal in the menu (I think all the meat are not). French Toast Forever is also an absolute delight and the juice is very fresh. You may be lucky to find a table of your walk-in but I’ll recommend making a reservation The service is good and the people are pleasant. Something that stands out - the coffee and tea mugs are cold on the outside but keep the contents piping hot. Also first time seeing Omurice on a menu - another testament to East Asian cuisine. Parking (Calgary Parking) is paid and close to the restaurant

I loved the Asian fusion brunch menu. We randomly stopped in without reading reviews and it was a fantastic decision. Kimchi fried rice was delicious! Banana latte coffee was interesting. Staff are kind and attentive! There is a paid garage parking and paid street parking a short walk away

The staff are very accommodating as soon as we arrived. We dined with a 1 year old and they are quick to ask for needing a high chair. Very lovely servers and communicated with us with care. Everything we ordered came out beautiful and delicious! Highly recommend the crab benny its something you wont get in just any brunch place so as the omurice! Will always recommend this place over all they serve with kindness and comfort

We were lucky to get a table for two since this place can get pretty packed sometimes. We started with pumpkin spice lattes and they were sweet, creamy, and really good. For food, we tried the steak bites bowl. It was alright but not great. Way too many Brussels sprouts for my taste and the flavor just did not come together. The fried crab scrambled eggs were okay but the crab could have been fried a bit longer. The pancakes were the biggest letdown. They did not taste fresh at all and felt like pre-made pancake mix batter, which was terrible. Service was fine and the place looks nice, but for the price, the food did not really deliver. Honestly, I doubt I would come back.

What a great spot for breakfast. Everything was very tasty. I had a smoked salmon scramble served in an open face croissant, with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Delicious! Nice presentation on all the dishes. If you live in Calgary, try this place out.

I am visiting Calgary and this time I stayed downtown. With a free morning, I decided to look for a brunch. I could have chosen a place right next to my hotel, but when I saw this restaurant online, the creativity of the menu caught my attention, especially the smoked salmon croissant. The experience was a delightful surprise. The reception was warm, the service quick and attentive, and the matcha latte was crafted with skill, balanced and delicate, though I personally enjoy it a little hotter. The smoked salmon croissant impressed me not only with its freshness but also with the creativity of the presentation. The addition of rice chips brought an unexpected layer of texture and originality, turning a classic into something memorable. It is always a pleasure to discover a restaurant that goes beyond the predictable brunch. Here I found harmony, care, and culinary imagination that made the experience remarkable. A place that makes you want to return, not just for the food but for the feeling of being welcomed. Bright, tasteful, and truly satisfying.

This morning I went out to eat with a friend and accidentally broke my triple banana latte. But the staff here were extremely nice. They cared and asked if I was okay. And made me a new triple banana latte. I ordered the Soft crab Benny which was delicious. I think this is the best breakfast place I've ever eaten in Calgary. The decor is very nice.

It was a late night at 3am. Service was good, he was on top of our waters and drinks. We ordered a sampler, double cheeseburger with fries, mozzarella cheese sticks, breakfast poutine, and breakfast sandwiches. Food was ok, and the burgers looked good, however there were not much seasonings.

I am not someone who ever complains. If I could give this location 0 stars I would. This is what I paid $24 for. It was supposed to be fully loaded nachos that we got delivered. There are barely any nachos and absolutely no toppings. Manager on duty said there was nothing he could do . Don’t waste your time giving this joke of a restaurant your money

I recently visited with my boyfriend on a Sunday, and we had a wonderful time! Thanks to the lovely lady who provided great service. We absolutely loved the shakes, and the food was delicious as always. We can’t wait to come back for more

5 Stars Had an awesome experience at Denny’s thanks to our server, Grant! He was incredibly efficient, friendly, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down. My Berry Stuffed French Toast Slam was delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Grant made sure everything came out quickly and checked in just the right amount. Hands down some of the best service I’ve had at any diner. Give that man a raise!

When we first walked in, we waited for service for at least 4 minutes to seat us. Then the manager proceeded to seat us in an area which is not frequently used, so we were forgotten. There was only one waitress, and the restaurant wasn't busy; so there was no need for lack of attention. The service was lacking, but the food was hot, and delicious.

I recently visited this restaurant and took advantage of their birthday offer, which included a free breakfast with a choice of 4 items to make your own slam. I have to say, it was a fantastic deal! The pancake was especially noteworthy - it was fluffy, big, and absolutely delicious. The portion size was also very generous and left me feeling satisfied. The waiter was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It seems like this restaurant really knows how to treat their customers and provide a great breakfast. I would highly recommend giving it a try, especially with the birthday offer!

Went to Denny's to celebrate a birthday. It was pretty much what you would expect. No complaints on the food and the service was good. The staff seem more experienced compared to my visit when they first opened. Coffee was filled up on the regular. Also, it was relatively quiet on the weekend compared to many a Denny's restaurants in the weekend - so a nice place to catchup with friends. My only vice is their loyalty program - totally broken - I did have a supervisor there say he would contact me back after taking to someone but that never happened - didn't really expect him to say that but nice that he did. Would have been amazing if I did get a response though!
