If you’re not sure which one to try, we recommend our personal favourite, the apple cinnamon. Address: 2312 16 Avenue NW, CalgaryPhone: 403-284-9696"

"If you’re looking for an authentic greasy spoon in the traditional sense, this isn’t quite it. The prices are good, but the menu has some flair. You can get pancakes, fruit or perogies instead of toast with your egg dish here."

"1886 Buffalo Cafeonly serves breakfast, so as you’d expect, they’re really good at it. Their menu only has brunch items, breakfast burritos, egg dishes, omelettes, steak, etc. There are a few smaller dishes as well, if you’re not that hungry."

"A post shared by Purlieu Modern Bistro (@purlieuyyc) on May 25, 2019 at 9:05am PDT.

Inside you'll find about three-dozen seats in a warm and inviting atmosphere with a small bar and beautiful artistry displayed on the walls."

"No bigger than a large closet, this 17th Avenue Southwest takeout eatery is a baguette beast. Hand over fist, Kim Anh Sub cranks out sandwiches that are fresh, crisply roasted and generously filled with tender, savoury satay beef and chicken and sprigs of cilantro. Accompany a $6.50 sandwich with a fresh $5 fruit smoothie in flavours that include litchi, mango and avocado."

"We recently discovered that most Earls locations have a “Brunch Happy Hour” with some really awesome deals on their brunch menu items (including drinks). The prices for brunch specials vary by location, but you can expect to pay less than $10 for a full-sized entrée wherever you go (and you can also expect that they’ll be downright delicious). Although there is no specific menu for children, the price point makes ordering a full-sized meal pretty much a no-brainer."

"Noble Pie is a popup, last located upstairs in Calgary’s Eighty-Eight Brewing Company. Each slice is massive, and crazy delish – which is why we’d recommend getting your order in quickly when you get the chance. Unfortunately, as of right now, they’re on a bit of a hiatus, but during regular hours they typically offer curbside pickup from Thursday to Sunday from 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm."

"Prairie Dog Brewing is a craft microbrewery doubling as a barbecue restaurant whose tagline neatly sums up what they’re all about: “Beer, Barbecue, Friends.” While their beer is exceptional, with a kitchen run by a Red-Seal certified executive chef, their menu is nothing to scoff at either. Offering Texas-style BBQ with slow-roasted and smoked meats prepared in Clifford, their big red pit/smoker, almost everything on the menu is prepared from scratch using high-quality local ingredients. With regulars like their dark Uncle Eddie’s Oatmeal Stout and their Gunnison’s Red Ale, their beer selection pairs perfectly with the mouthwatering BBQ offerings."

"To pair your craft beers with even more delicious, barbecued goodness, grab a table on the patio at Prairie Dog Brewing. They have a summer-ready selection of craft beers and drinks like a Coconut Brown Ale, Treasured Berried kettle sour, or their Fallentimber Meadjito, which they can serve alongside brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, or other barbecue favourites.
