Blue Star is one of Calgary's Best Brunches. When I lived in Calgary my wife and I would come here minimum 4 times a month. I've eaten every item in the menu, know most of the staff by name, and so here are my favorites:
- Havana Rancheros: eggs, crispy corn shells, beans, salsa, sour cream and farm fresh eggs. Fantastic.
- Blueberry Banana Pancakes - made with an egg based crape style French recipe; not the typical over fluffy box crap. Very good but if you like "fluffy pancakes" this isn't for you.
- Eggs Benedict - one of the best in the city. Not drenched in sauce like some places, instead well crafted delicate flavors. I love the smoked salmon and pickled asparagus.
- omelets: all great!
Dinner:
- The burger is fantastic, so are the tacos, and the fries are cooked right. Ask for Sweet valentine sauce with them! It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy but not fire hot.
What I love best is Shane's commitment to locally sourced food suppliers and his commitment to quality. There is also tons of healthy options.
