I'm always struggling to find a good breakfast joint. And having lived in the States, I find myself often experiencing IHOP withdrawal.
Last weekend a good friend of mine suggested that we meet for brunch at Ricky's. I hadn't been in a few years and am always game when there is food involved. We headed over to the one by North Hill mall, on 16th Ave.
The restaurant itself was laid out nicely and I appreciated the decor. It was pretty busy, but then again it was 10am on a Saturday morning.
I ordered their veggie omelette and my friend ordered some type of strawberry delight waffle. The omelette was not the best omelette I've ever had, but I am picky when it comes to my eggs. It was a little too greasy for my taste and the filling could have used a lot more flavour.
The portion was big, which was a relief because I was famished, but overall it was not as satisfying as I would have liked.
The price was decent but I wouldn't have minded paying a bit extra for a better brunch. All in all, I'm still on the hunt for a hot-spot breakfast joint in Calgary. Stay tuned.
