best brunch spots in Calgary

Hey Calgary, let’s be honest: you love brunch, and we love telling you what to do… so this article is a win-win for everybody. Keep reading to learn about the best places to grab a late breaky this fall!

Cleaver

You might know of Cleaver from their unbelievable whole chicken dish (yeah, we’re talking about the Cock for 2), but what you might not know is that they’re serving up delicious brunch eats every weekend till 2 pm. Pop by for S’more & Nutella French Toast or to-die-for Breakfast Poutine!

  • Where: 524 17 Ave
  • When: Sat-Sun
  • Time: 10AM-2PM


Buffo

No brunch is complete without a mimosa, but Buffo doesn’t stop there. Nope, they’ve also got unreal Caesars, Peach and Raspberry Bellinis, and ridiculously tasty Italian eats. Now please excuse us while we fantasize about their Breakfast Calzone…

  • Where: Saks Fifth Avenue- 6455 Macleod Trail
  • When: Sat-Sun
  • Time: 11AM-4PM


Brekkie

Attention early risers: Brekkie is open and waiting for you to come by at the crack of dawn. They will also feed you if you sleep in, but we wouldn’t wait too long, ‘cause it’s a very real possibility that we could eat all of their chorizo bennys before you get there. Fair warning.

  • Where: 20 Westpark Link
  • When: Mon-Sun
  • Time: 7AM-3PM


Red’s Diner

Whether you hit them up in Ramsay, Kensington, or their most popular location on 4th, Red’s is an extremely solid brunch choice. Lots of people agree with us, which is why they’re usually lined up out the door… but don’t stress- they’ll serve you hot coffee while you’re waiting (and the Pulled Pork Hash makes it all worth it in the end).

  • Where: All Locations
  • When: Open Monday – Sunday
  • Time: 7 AM – 4 PM


Blue Star Diner

If you’re into locally-sourced eats, you should check out Blue Star Diner. Almost everything they serve comes from nearby farmers, so you can feel good about your choice to grab that Breakfast Sammy.

  • Where: 809 1 Ave NE
  • When: Mon-Sun
  • Time: 8AM-4PM

That’s it for now but check back for more delicious brunch spots near our city. Until then, eat up Calgary!
