On another business trip to Calgary I got to stay in the international hotel. The 4th Avenue Cafe is located in the hotel basement. It features some wall sized photos of Calgary in the 1950s and clean contemporary seating.
Walking in, I was greeted by the maitre'd who bore a striking resemblance to Oddjob from the movie Goldfinger. He also serves all of the OJ and coffee.
Having eaten there for four breakfasts I had:
- Western Scramble - scrambled eggs with a bunch of good stuff and smothered in cheese yummy!
- Johnny cakes - pancakes served with cream and berries except my crime never showed up
- Regular French Toast the best meal that I had there
- Eggs Benedict - pretty good
Overall it was a decent restaurant. I was ok with the food! The pluses were the convenient location and the friendly staff.
