| - I grew up in Montreal (came to Calgary 9 years ago), and just like me ... Cora is from La Belle Province. Back there it's called Chez Cora, but just because it dropped its French, doesn't mean it's any less wonderful. I love it just as much at its new locations here as I loved it back there.
My favourite item on the menu: crepes. They are the super-thin pancakes stuffed with just about anything you can hope for -- fruit and whipped cream, or cheese and ham. Cora knows how to do them right -- this is the only place, in my opinion, to get Crepes west of Montreal. They also have standard egg n' bacon plates, fruit n' toast, or plain oatmeal -- no matter what kind of morning eater you are, they have you covered.
Inside, the restaurant is cheerfully decorated, and cozy. Lots of chickens and kitschy kinds of items strewn about; chairs and cushionly benches packed a little tight together. Only problem is: the food is so scrumptious, that the lines to get a seat are RIDICULOUS. Seriously ... I think Calgary has a major breakfast-joint shortage, because all the best places, Cora included, are always packed and lined up. If you're going to come: come early ... before 9:30am. Any later, and you'll be waiting.
