Top 10 Brunch Spots in Calgary

1. Friends with Benedicts – If you’re looking for a quick but very satisfying brunch, pop into the First Street Market on 1 St SW near 12 Ave for some spectacular Eggs Bennie.  Our Events and Community Manager, Nicole, recommends the Smooth Talker Benedict with fresh pico de gallo and smashed avocado. 
2. Vendome Cafe – This Sunnyside neighbourhood gem has fed locals for over a decade.  Make a reservation or be prepared to wait.  It’s worth it. Pro tip: If you like cinnamon buns, theirs are the size of your head!
3. Brekkie – Hidden away in a strip mall in Westpark SW, Brekkie is a favourite for our Alberta Food Tours team. The Lemon Berry Pancakes are a must-try or order your Bennie on potato rosti like we do.
4. Park by Sidewalk Citizen – The Shakshuka or the Kachapuri are both delish.  If you don’t know what either is, you definitely need to go and find out cause you are missing out.  
5. Yellow Door Bistro – Nestled into chic Hotel Arts, Yellow Door Bistro serves an award-winning weekend brunch buffet that will satisfy any foodie.  
6. OEB – There are now 4 locations in Calgary to get your Breakfast Poutine fix.  IYKYK.
7. Z Crew Cafe – This is President, Karen Anderson’s, go-to spot for downtown breakfast meetings. There are so many great Asian-influenced bowls and vegan and vegetarian options to choose from.
8. Orchard – A menu with savoury options and a gorgeous interior make this our special occasion brunch location. 
9. Donna Mac – Their weekend brunch menu is equal parts creative and delicious.  From Latke Eggs Benedict to the Croque Madame, there is something for every palate. 
10. Queen’s Breakfast & Cocktails –  Sipping a Bellini or Negroni will be a great start for a weekend brunch at this hot spot.  No matter what day you go, remember to make reservations.
