This place was awesome! The food was so good. I would go back here in a heartbeat! We had breakfast. Its ambiance is kind of like a diner. The service was great because I changed my mind last minute and she let me change it no problem. My mom had the classic Benny and I had the breakfast poutine. Amazing! I want more breakfast poutine now.. hahaha! read more

Was sooo excited to grab brunch here based off the menu. Everything is good, but not as great as I was expecting. The Shakshouka was lacked depth and was very heavy on the red bell pepper. Eggs were cooked well though and caeser was good. Beltliner Benny was super sweet, would reccomend splitting it to enjoy it and avoid a richness overload. Service was a bit slow and was not very personable but it seems like it's always jammed so that's understandable. Overall a bit expensive for the quality but still recommendable. read more

Wow... what a great place to have breakfast or lunch!! I had the Shakshuka breakfast and my dh had the grilled sandwich with tomato soup! Both were excellent. I also had a latte and the dh had black coffee. My latte was perfect! He said the coffee could have been strong, but he like the spoon to stand up by itself in his coffee!! Hahaha For dessert we shared a Nutella banana crepe which was fantastic!! The banana was grilled and caramelize perfectly then chocolate and Nutella was drizzle over the whole thing... We did have to wait for a table which I understand is normal... the service was outstanding!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! Although the prices are a little expensive the food was quality!! Sorry no pictures of the food as we were hungry and forget before chowing down!! Also make sure you check out the bathroom. Lots of cool posters on the walls!! read more

I'm told this is a Calgary classic. Large and spacious interior, lots of greenery, the typical diner experience. We went in for brunch and got the chicken and waffles and avocado toast. I got a London Fog, which was good, but this is not really an artisanal coffee kind of place--it was just an Earl Grey tea bag with some milk and sugar. The servers were friendly and prompt. The chicken was crispy, albeit smaller than I expected--more nugget than tender. The waffle was pretty standard. It came with gravy and syrup. For some reason--and my partner did not share the same sentiment--the gravy tasted weirdly like applesauce to me. The avocado toast comes loaded with micro greens and you get a side. Hash browns were just fine. We got a side of the pave, which I really enjoyed--it's multiple thin slices of potato all stacked on top of each other and cooked until crisp, drizzled with sour cream. Definitely would have that again. read more

Nice diner! Came for breakfast and the service was great. The coffee they serve is a dark roast and one of the better black coffees I've had. The group ordered various bennies and all looked amazing. I had the Beltliner Benny and it was solid! If I came back I'd probably try another one as they had like 5 different Bennies on the menu. read more

This is such a nicely designed diner, industrial and airy and it was a very pleasant atmosphere.

Hands down one of my favourite brunch places in Calgary (and I've been to quite a few)! Expect to wait for a table on the weekend for brunch, unless you come early (close to opening). The ambiance and decor is modern hipster. Water is served in mason jars and there is booth, table, hip top, bar, and outdoor seating. Staff is extremely friendly and service is great. This visit I ordered the West Coast Toast and Eggs with a side of Hashbrowns. My meal was delicious! I highly recommend trying the Hashbrowns!! They are shaped in a triangular form made of sliced potatoes, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are BOMB! Do not go without trying them, you won't be disappointed! Previously, I tried the mushroom quiche and mushroom bennie, both of which were delicious. My boyfriend had the Chicken and Waffles. He said the chicken was very flavourful and tender and the waffles were soft and perfectly complemented the chicken along with the gravy and maple syrup. The portion is white large, and he had to package up what he couldn't finish. The Beltliner will continue to be one of my top places to go for brunch when I'm in Calgary. I haven't been disappointed yet! read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Some of the best French toast we've ever had and the eggs benny was so good. The service wasn't great though. One of the waitresses was wearing a sleeveless tank top - which isn't food safe. They also spent more time chatting behind the counter with each other and were come and go with us at the table. No real chit chat or anything. read more

Solid brunch for when you need to brunch hard! The Caesar Menu is hard core, you start with vodka but can sub gin if you prefer. Next you add some free garnishes, like pepperoni, pickle, extra spicy, etc. then things get serious. There are two more categories for garnish that costs extra, such as perogies, bacon, avocado, chicken and waffles or a chocolate chip cookie! The chicken and waffles is a whole meal, so you can stop there if you want. A few of us girls had the French Toast 3.0, a few had the Beltliner Benny, and one friend had the Mushroom Benny (a vegetarian option). The hashbrowns are crazy! They are wedges of fried scallop potatoes basically, perfectly crispy on the edges. Phenomenal French Toast with salted peanut butter whip, banana confit and fruit jam, topped with crunchy brown sugar bits! They don't take reservations, but they are willing to seat your party even before everyone arrives which is nice. Plan to walk in the park across the street after your meal though, it's a lot if food! read more

There wasn't anything super amazing about this place, but nothing bad either! The atmosphere was nice & the food was good. I have to say that the hash browns were the best I've ever had.

Came upon this cute place after exploring downtown. Hands down best service and food. Brunch is amazing here, and the proportions are enormous. The vibe is cute, garden cafe meets diner with a modern twist. The beltliner hash bowl was yum, and so was the chicken and waffles. I'd steer clear of the brown butter squad unless your a butter lover, quite heavy in flavour. read more

This restaurant is super cute inside and has very good food. I went for brunch and got the mushroom Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. I would order it again in a heart beat. The only complaint I would have is that the potato served with it does not have a lot of flavour and I think another form of side would be better. But with that considered, I would still highly recommend this place for brunch and will definitely be going back! read more

Items Selected: Space Jam & Ricotta 2.0 French Toast - Blueberry Jam, Lemon Ricotta, Powdered Sugar, St. Leon Maple Syrup Perogy Poutine - Potato Cheddar Perogy, Gravy, Hutterite Bacon, Quebec Cheese Curds, Green Onions Saskatoon Berry Pie - Whipped Cream and Vanilla Bean Gelato from Fiasco Gelato Essentially a hotel restaurant, its attachment to Fairfield Inn & Suites next to Central Memorial Park infusing the space with an everything-to-everyone feel from the kitchen forward, The Beltliner fails where many of Calgary's 'reimagined diners' succeed by way of taking itself too seriously, the focus on a theme getting in the way of good, honest cooking as the menu attempts to veer interesting before getting the basics straight. Visited just after noon, the combination breakfast and lunch menu offering everything from Eggs to Salads or Meatloaf, it was having already perused the online options that a patient wait preceded service, the middle-aged woman not near as pleasant as the folks at Diner Deluxe, OEB or Belmont as she perfunctorily jotted down an order before moving on to the next table where she repearted the same routine without even looking up. Trying hard to be hip, the menu running a gamut of gastropub ideas with some more typical options for those desiring something simple, it was with both appetizer and entrée delivered simultaneously that the meal got underway as The Black Keys played overhead, the "Perogy Poutine" a new spelling with a good concept set back by too much Gravy despite great Dumplings and gooey Curds melted to Cast Iron while the "Space Jam & Ricotta 2.0 French Toast" was not soaked enough for its thickness and still dougy even after adding St. Leon Maple Syrup. Annoyed that the Monte Cristo originally entertained was not only un-fried but served with a Mustard Sauce, dessert consisted of tender Saskatoon Berries baked in an all-Butter Crust, the decision to add a scoop of locally-made Vanilla Bean Gelato enough to dissuade a planned visit to their flagship as the texture was icy and granular on the tongue. read more

One of the worst brunch experiences in town. The waitress was playing her dance hits playlist so loud over the speakers that we couldn't hear each other speak at a table for two. It's not a nightclub: it's a brunch spot. We asked our waitress if she could ask them to turn it down and the volume went up. It's clear that the staff are more important than the patrons at this place. I'll never go back. The food isn't good enough to warrant the wait or the headache. I will also make it my personal mission to tell every person I know about what a terrible experience this was. But heh, if your'e a broke 19 year old, this is the place for you. read more

Yummy. The brown butter hollandaise is amazing. It's a popular brunch spot so go early or prepare to wait (but worth it). Family friendly spot too. read more

3 for lunch but 4 star for breakfast. I had the club sandwich for lunch and got it to-go. The sandwich was sloppily put into the container. The meat had all fallen out of the bread. And they didn't send me with dressing for the salad. So not such a good experience for lunch. As for breakfast I decided to give it another try since it was close to our hotel. The atmosphere here is nice. I ordered the pancake stack with Nutella and strawberries. Very healthy, right?? Don't judge it was delicious. Too much for me to eat myself but what I did eat I throughly enjoyed!! I almost forgot... the maple syrup was superb. Drizzled on top of Nutella, pancakes was yummy! read more

You can't beat the convenience of a restaurant under your hotel! Dale E and I stopped by for brunch before his big event and it was very enjoyable. The atmosphere is kind of chic-hipster-chill, and I was glad I was able to snake us a booth - they're comfy! My server was a bit of an enigma - she seemed pretty stand-offish at first, but warmed up a bit towards the end. The place was pretty hopping around lunchtime on a Tuesday, which is always awesome to see. I ordered the merguez and eggs, and a side of hash browns, and it was great! The dish came in a cast iron dish on a beautiful logoed plate and was pretty hefty! The eggs were a little runnier than I like (I prefer the yolks runny but the whites not snot-like), and when I mixed some of the snotty whites into the rest (I assumed the cast iron was piping hot) I was surprised the dish was quite lukewarm in places. The flavours were great, the little pieces of sausage were rich and tasty, and the sauce was delicious! The hash browns are amazing - make sure you get them! Layers of potato pressed together and deep fried (I assume) - it made for a fun eat as I peeled the layers off! I'd definitely dine here again next time I'm in Calgary! read more

The Beltliner - Merguez and eggs! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Feeling brunchy today? The Beltliner is a solid bet. There's something to be said for a well laid out eggs benny, and I've got to admit their solid food presentation made me like it all that much more. They aced the hollandaise look. Just seeing that creamy yellow laid out across some steamy bennies as they bring it to the table is enough to make me want to ask if I can buy a pint glass of it. Could I? I can't confirm, sorry. I managed to control myself this time. The fried potato hash-brown dealies are quite good. It seems like save potato, compacted into a cake and then the whole thing is deep-fried. They've got a flaky, crunchy outside and a warm, soft potato-y inside. They're really quite great and oh so easy to slather ketchup on. Another advantage they have over many brunch places is the lineup, or rather lack there-of! Many very similar spots have lineups out the door regardless of the day and time you go. I showed up at noon and instantly got a table. How wonderful! And here's where I can feel myself getting snobby and wanting more, more, more. As good as Beltline is, I don't really think they bring anything new to Calgary's brunch scene. They do a good job emulating the feel of Calgary's proven favourite brunch destinations, to the point that I couldn't help but feel like I'd been there many times before, but this was my first experience. There's a good chance I missed something really special, but for how new they are, I guess I was expecting a little change up in concept from the likes of Diner Deluxe and Blue Star and Red's and Dairy lane, and... There's no reason not to go to The Beltliner, it's really quite good. If you're well experienced in brunching around town, I did struggle to find ways to pick them out of a crowd. I'll definitely be back if I'm looking for a brunch location in the area. read more

A few growing pains - normal for a new restaurant but I would say once they smooth things out it's fantastic. On Good Friday, we came around 12:30 and it was a 2 hour wait and when we finally sat down it took over an hour to get our food. This wasn't even the peak of waiting for a table - some after us were told 2.5 hrs. Between the 2 of us we ordered mushroom bennies, tuna melt, classic Belgian waffle, and banana cream pie. Best thing on the menu was the crispy scalloped potatoes served on the side of the bennies entree, next was the banana cream pie (we asked ours to be served with a dollop of Nutella). Mushroom Benny was mild on the truffle taste and a little shy on the mushroom quantity but overall the side stole the show on this plate. Tuna melt with a side of tomato soup - tuna was delicious (not the canned tuna kind here) a touch under seasoned but the cheese and crunchy bread made up for it. The tomato soup was a great texture not the soupy kind of tomato soup. I wish the Belgian waffle was served warm..this was cold and very underwhelming, I'll give it a fair review when I try it freshly made (I guess this was their pit of the day..I saw a few waffles being sent back while we were waiting for our table) The pie deserves its own paragraph. I dunno where you get your pies but I feel like I haven't seen much homemade pies served in restaurants anymore. I guess this was a special day because a local famous chef came in to make the pies, but it's at least beltliner's recipe. YOU MUST TRY THE PIE! We were pretty hangry from all the waiting so we started stacking things to keep us entertained. But the servers and manager seemed to be on board...until we spilled the cream. Hey! At least we were fun company. read more

A new diner in the up and coming beltline? Wellll..... I don't know. Oh, they make their own butter? Their own bacon? Grind their own chuck? Wow! What?? They have a bunch of kinds of pie? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! I stopped in here tonight with a mission and that mission was pie and coffee. I wanted diner pie in a new diner. First of all, this place is beautiful. We came in the evening so we got to see the low lights, interesting fixtures, and tea lights on the tables. Comfy Boothe's, wooden tables, and a bar to belly up to. My favorite thing right off the bat was how friendly the staff were despite being really busy and selling 30 pies today! And I must mention the 16 oz coffee cups. Now THAT'S a cup of coffee. Doesn't hurt its Fratello coffee, one of my faves. I ordered lemon meringue pie, another of my favorite things in the world, and I was not disappointed. Real lemon, tangy and sweet and topped with brown sugar meringue. I chose to top it with a scoop of Fiasco vanilla bean gelato. I am so smart, s-m-r-t. Breakfast is available all day, everything looks delicious! There's a kids menu and a full bar. Pretty much the best combination ever. Also, high chairs for the minis. Will be back ASAP. read more

'Twas the night before the night before Mother's Day, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...except for a six year old snoring and a mother on a Yelpy quest for the perfect Saturday early Mother's Day brunch with her baby... Truthfully, it took me until after midnight to find this newcomer on Yelp amongst all of the other great diners and brunch spots in Calgary. What won me over was the $5 kids menu items, as well as a great selection for the big kid at the table too! When we arrived the next morning, we knew there would be a little wait. Our hostess took my cell number and said they would text us when our table was ready (fabulous!!). So baby and I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie that was very aptly described as a "something that tastes like a squashed brownie" (baking courtesy of Corbeaux...simply amazing cookie, btw), and a Fratello coffee. We went across the street and sat in the sunlit park while we waited for our table. The text came way faster than we expected and we were seated immediately upon our return. My little one had the chocolate chip pancake (and I stress - singular - she couldn't even finish the one...and that is saying something for the Pancake Monster!). I ordered the PB&J Pancakes - fig jam, my favorite, and pistachio butter. Both dishes came with healthy dollops of house-churned butter and delicious authentic maple syrup. Can I just talk about the staff for a minute? They were all so helpful, friendly and actually TALKED to my 6 year old. You all rock in my world! I have been telling all of my friends about you, Beltliner, and we will come back with friends!! read more

I never have good luck here. Last time I came the chicken and waffles was so over cooked and gristly, also just not tasty at all. And tonight I shared biscuits and gravy with a friend while waiting for our table at Native Tongues. First bite was ok.... Until we both looked at eachother with a sour face because the biscuit had this AWFUL bitter after taste. It tasted like having blood in your mouth when you bit your tongue. It tasted like maybe way too much baking soda? It was actually awful. This restaurant reminds me of a nightmare where all the food looks amazing but then you bite into it and your realize it's all plastic. read more

I was staying in the Fairfield Inn, located next door to the Beltliner. It was a cold and rainy day, so I stopped in, at lunch, for a burger and a couple glasses of wine (Bernardo Bermejo Tempranillo - $17.95 at the local wine merchant). Without checking the bill I added a 20% tip and proceeded to tap my card. I did a triple take when I say my lunch total was $71.82!!!! This is a pretty basic diner so, I wasn't expecting my burger/fries and wine to crush my budget for the day...BE PREPARED, THIS PLACE IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE!!! BTW, burger was good, but not THAT good. read more

Came here for dinner and how empty it was during the time should have been a sign. Ordered the vegetable soup which would have been good if the tangy tomato flavor didn't take over. $6 for the portion size was laughable. Also ordered The Big Salad- they weren't kidding about it being big. Salad was lacking though, it was basically a bunch of spring mix, baby tomatoes and some slivers of carrot and radish. For $16 you'd think they would add more vegetables to the salad. Also didn't taste the garlic in the dressing whatsoever. Nice thing was that our service was great, waitress was attentive and quick. read more

Always had this preconceived idea that diners were dirty and greasy, with the food very fast food like. This place definitely makes you think twice about diners. A relatively new place that has beautifully chic and modern decor, that was extremely welcoming. An extremely welcoming and lively space, with attention for the details. Mason jars for cups, a Dr. Suess book for the receipts, and excellent service all tied together to bring a wonderful lunch experience! The portions were a good size and will definitely fill you up! Thought the prices were a bit high at first, but the portions definitely made up for it. The Beltliner Burger was amazing! All the different tastes all came together perfectly to compliment the burger patties. The bottom bun did get quite soggy, making it a mess to eat, but so worth it!! The Tomato Soup was also awesome! One of the best I've ever had. Friends also had the Big Salad and Spicy Salami Benedict, which were both amazing! The Benedict also came with these potatoes which were unique and delicious! Service was fast and friendly, making this is a must try if you're in the downtown Calgary area! read more

Another addition to Calgary's brunch and breakfast scene. Came her for brunch on the long weekend and it was definitely busy but not 2 hour wait busy. Me and and my gf sat at the bar in full view of the kitchen. We started off with the coffee which didn't come in a small cup. We we were given a latte in large mason jar. Definite plus! We had ordered the chicken and waffles, creme brulee waffle, and poached egg. Here is where they start to lose stars. The order took closer to an hour for it to arrive and but it didn't seem like it was only ours, a few others were waiting as well. When the food did arrive the chicken barely had any meat, pretty much all batter. The poached egg was cold but we were too hungry to send it back. The French toast was delicious and something I have never had before. Overall, the service was great, our waitress made sure we were full on water, coffee and tried to speed up the kitchen. But the food definitely needs some improvement. In the end we were comped for the creme brulee. In the end I would say give this place a shot and see if you fair better with the food then I did. Happy munching read more

Ecstatic that this place is 2 blocks from me, because even it were miles away I'd be a regular. Everything is done well here - relaxing decor, friendly staff, huge coffees, cocktails and beer, and morning comfort food of the highest degree. The menu has all the classics, but with minor twists that will have you wanting to order two plates. Sat at the bar and got the eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffles- both perfect for sharing. Both were great, not much else to say - I would definitely order again but will explore the menu a bit more next time (French toast and pancakes looked delicious) Can't wait to return! read more

Dinner last night at Beltliner....I had the most wonderful experience. The service was outstanding even before I ordered. Love it when your server participates in playful banter. I don't recall her name, but she made me laugh. I ordered a margarita that was great and then we discussed the menu. She honestly guided me through the menu and I ended up ordering the club and tomato soup. Both were fantastic and exactly what I wanted, even if I didn't know that before ordering. Would love to come back next time I'm in town for business and try other items on the menu. 1) cleanliness: outstanding - you can tell they care 2) service: simply the best - loved the banter 3) atmosphere: pleasant and warm - very inviting 4) food: was really good - haven't tried the total menu, but what I did try was great. My one and only complaint would be they don't take AmEx.... or more specifically, they don't offer up that information before ordering. As a business traveler its frustrating to use any other card than your corporate card. I did ask before ordering if they take credit cards as I heard they didn't. was told yes, we take. my fault, the question should have been do you take American Express. My experience was too good to drop a star...but it is something they should proactively point out to customers. read more
