Shakshouka
Charlie K.

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.

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!!

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.

This is such a nicely designed diner, industrial and airy and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the chicken and waffles and were very satisfied with the food as well as huge portions. We even snagged a bag of their local coffee to bring back as a gift when we return stateside.

West Coast Toast and Eggs with a side of Hashbrowns
Anna G.

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!

Great spot for breakfast and brunch! We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was very warm and friendly! Definitely would come back again!

Caesar Menu
L R.

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!

Hot Chocolate

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. Seasoned perfectly! The prices are a tad steep but that's what you get if you go for breakfast downtown Calgary.

The beltliner hash bowl

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.

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.

Mushroom Benedict
Melissa P.

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!

Merguez and eggs!
Ayla C.

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!

What I love about this place is how inclusive it is while being so flavor forward…read more Our group had vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, folks with walnut allergy and dairy intolerance and we all found plenty of options to pick from and try the range. Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this café. The male owner, Zack, was dismissive from the…read morestart. We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.
