    delicious brunch place in YYC! If you're ever in YYC or in the area diner deluxe is such a good and unique brunch spot. Highly recommend coming to try their delicious menu. * Grilled grapefruit ~ this is my first time trying grilled grapefruit and let me tell you it won't be the last. It was so good and unique and sweet and not to mention so good for your gut health it's insane! 9/10. * Mascarpone and Berries French toast ~ super yummy the berries were sweet and good contrast of tart and sweetness with the French toast. The mascarpone was nice and sweet which paired well with their syrup. Overall not Too sweet and a perfect morning French toast to start off the day! 8.5/10. * Pork belly eggs Benedict ~ this was phenomenal the pork belly was thick and well seasoned and super delicious. Ultra tender and the fat melts in your mouth and not to mention the egg and their English muffin pairing worked so well with the thick pork belly. Their potatoes were also crispy and well seasoned. 9/10.

    Potato Rosti with Grilled Tomatoes

    We have been here several times over the last 10 years and there is a reason why we keep coming back. The food is freaking amazing. Delicious and well done. Creative and well thought out. I don't think I have ever left and get like our meal wasn't great! My recent favourite is the potato rosti which I took up a level by adding it stuffed with cheese curds and bacon. Exactly. Delish. On my last visit it was slightly burnt on the sides and not in a yummy, crispy great way but that seem to be a one off based on my past experiences so let that slide. Service is always efficient and friendly. I love that it is a great place for couples, friends or young families. I will continue to visit every single time I come to Calgary

    I really like breakfast places., We tried diner delux for the first time (long overdue). We really liked the interior and was nicely decorated. The servers were super busy and friendly enough. Food took a while to come out in Sunday brunch. The food was great. I really enjoyed their chorizo sausage and their brunch skillet was really good. The waffles were good too. My only complaint is that they were a tad expensive. 20 dollar plates for breakfast??????? I was surprised. I immediately googled dairy lane and queens breakfast menus to compare. Same!! 20 dollar breakfast plates! What? Fortunately broken yolk is still In the 15 dollar range, but still if u live in the city you need to drive a bit far. Calgary's breakfast are getting way too expensive.

    Awesome open kitchen

    On a biz trip in Calgary again. I never miss an opportunity to come here for all the great choices for b-fast. I love the Rancher's eggs and the brunch skillet. Nothing bad about this place. Granted, I've only visited during the week so I can't speak to their weekend situation. I'm guessing it gets crazy.

    The huevos rancheros was good. I liked the half of avocado and potatoes! All the ingredients meshed well with one another. Service was good.

    A good breakfast/brunch/lunch diner, we made our way here as our last stop before leaving Calgary. It's very heavy food, so if you're looking to fill up before being on the go, it's actually a pretty perfect choice. There are various breakfast items you can get, but I really gravitated to the eggs benedict. Their different takes on the dish are pretty interesting and I really liked the options. Execution on the eggs was a tad off, though as they were about 20 seconds overdone and not quite as runny as they should be. The diced hashbrown potatoes were really well done and well seasoned.

    Perfect Respite From Blustery Day

    A "must" visit when in town. Yeah, the vibe is fun & young but I have brought my Mom who was very pleased with the place. The door you enter opens into a space that sells Fiasco Gelato (Oh la! Sample the pumpkin flavour if they have it.) and has a Pac-Man upright arcade game. If you have to wait a bit for a table - not common on weekdays, probably certain on weekends - grab a mug and go into the 2nd area where there is coffee & the fixin's on the right side. The only frustrating part of your visit will be when you attempt to decide what you want. The choices are painfully wonderful and diverse. Emphasis on local and fresh ingredients. Everything is good. Seriously. Their egg game is on point! Servers rock! Make sure to check out the loo. Can't speak for the men's but the ladies is outfitted uber stylishly.

    Sad, I have been here so many times, and this is my first review. This is an institution. They have an amazing retro diner vibe with super friendly staff. The service is usually very quick and the food is always on point. From items like chocolate sourdough French toast to their breakfast burgers thus place is absolutely on point. Not to be missed is the fact that they serve Phil and Sabastion coffee. My omelets today was cooked perfectly, absolutely the right portion size with the side of fruit. After many visits .....I am happy to report that they continue to set the bar high.

    Items Selected: Phil & Sebastian Coffee Maple Fried Oatmeal - Lemon Curd, Vanilla Bean Cream, Maple Syrup Stuffed French Toast - Egg dipped thick cut Sourdough, Brie, Canadian Bacon, Apple Relish, Rosemary Syrup Breakfast Poutine - Rosemary Hash Browns, Quebec Cheese Curds, Basil Hollandaise Apple Pie Wedge - Bourbon-Cinnamon poached Apples, Caramel Sauce, Streusel Topping Located just down Edmonton Trail from OEB Breakfast Co, a veritable Restaurant Row during the day's early hours, Diner Deluxe is an all-day eatery focused on local, seasonal ingredients and scratch-cooking, the kitschy retro interior in no way indicative of the sort of place serving up your Grandpa's plate of Bacon and Eggs. Now with two locations, the rumor of hour-long waits on weekends mitigated by an early Monday meal, entry to Diner Deluxe finds patrons in a Soda Fountain styled area featuring Gelato, Pac-Man, the brightly lit room beyond full of old-school signage and smiling servers plus two men working the oven and griddles. Proudly promoting local purveyors and farms, prices slightly higher than the typical diner as a result, long perusal finds the menu filled with options for diners of all-styles, the challenge of accommodating allergies and limitations taken quite seriously as the young woman acting as waitress went out of her way to inquire at the time of order, something far more typical of fine-dining environs. Seated at a cozy two-top next to an elderly widower in the mood for conversation, clearly a regular judged by his interaction with staff, Breakfast began with an elegantly presented square of pan-seared Oats thoroughly soaked in Custard and Maple Syrup, the pool of Crème Anglaise in which it rested acting to further soften the wedge beneath a scoop of zesty Lemon Curd. Offering bottomless Coffee from Phil & Sebastian, a local producer featuring great light roasts at many restaurants visited during the days in Alberta, course two featured egg-dredged Sourdough wrapped around melted Brie, Canadian Bacon and Apple Relish, the sidecar of Rosemary Syrup proving downright inspired as an addition to the sandwich, while also proving complimentary to the $3CAD upgraded side of well-seasoned Hash Browns that remained crispy even with the addition of housemade Hollandaise and stretchy Cheese Curds. Half-joking when inquiring about dessert, but more than happy to indulge when the kitchen said they would be willing to oblige, it was after a quick warming on the grill that an "Apple Pie Wedge" arrived bathed in hot Caramel Sauce, the light hints of booze mingling with Cinnamon and Fruit topped in buttery Streusel.

    The sautéed potato is delicious!  The Benedict average.

    Originally 4 stars but 5 stars given they professionally remedied the situation…read more I went here on a Tuesday morning for brunch and it was still fairly busy, but I was seated immediately. If you show up after 9am, be prepared to wait a bit or make reservations in advance on Toast to be safe. I tried their newer item, birria de res eggs benedict, which is served on cheese bannock, an indigenous Canadian bread, and opted to sub potatoes/salad for garlic fried rice for 3 CAD surcharge, which is well worth it. The beef was tender and the eggs are perfectly runny and the cheese bannock added heartiness and a more unique texture compared to English muffin. It is a combo of Mexican, indigenous Canadian, and Filipino influences all in 1 dish! To pair with the food, I had a pineapple mimosa which was of good portion. Originally, the dish had hair so I caught it and flagged the issue, so they immediately remade the whole dish for me, apologized, and comped my mimosa so despite losing 10 min of my time, I am okay with this remedy, so I rate this experience for the food and service outside of this incident. This is one of the more innovative and delicious brunch spots I have tried, so it is no surprise this place is fairly hyped up

    This place serves very unique brunch menu items. I got the "My Breakfast in Tokyo" and thought it…read morewas alright. It came with thick cut smoked salmon on top of sushi seasoned rice with poached eggs, seaweed, and spinach on the side. The seaweed pieces tasted old and were hard to chew. The seasoned rice had too much vinegar in it. The poached egg and salmon tasted fine. It also came with miso soup but it tasted strange, not sure why there was oil in it... miso soup usually does not contain oil. My fiance got the Breakfast in Manila and thought it was alright as well. The rice was too salty and the sausage tasted like low quality meat. It seemed like they were short on waitresses and it took a while for them to take our order and for us to get the check. This place is also a plant store and it felt cozy. Overall had a decent experience.

The menu had good breakfast options. I opted for the Seoul-wich with an Arnold Palmer to drink. My bro had the Bro's breakfast with a Bro'kin coffee blend to drink. Both dishes looked great. The Seol-wich was really tasty and a good size. My bro said he enjoyed his meal. Our server Rachel was friendly and attentive. All staff were great.

By the time it arrived, everything was stone cold. The cheese was literally hard from melting and then going cold, the potatoes were undercooked and raw, and the entire meal was completely inedible. Spending $35 on food that went straight in the garbage is beyond frustrating, it's infuriating. And the $5 "seasonal fruit bowl" looked like someone's picked-over leftovers. A couple random pieces tossed in a container and sent out like that's acceptable? It's honestly disgusting and shows a complete lack of quality control. At this point, I would've been better off ordering McDonald's for a third of the price, because at least it would've shown up hot and edible. This is careless, overpriced, and completely unacceptable. 1STAR. Complete fail.
