| - One of Calgary's Breakfast gems!
I recently went to this location for a working breakfast. The restaurant it's self is quite small,I can see if you went on a weekend or a holiday that you will be waiting for a LONG time for a table, but I went on a Thursday morning and it was busy but we got a table right away.
They have a very large menu for such a little restaurant, it took a good 10 minutes to read the whole thing and make a very difficult decision. The menu prominently features these breakfast bowls with different proteins, veggies and eggs served over potatoes with hollandaise sauce. A friend of mine said the those were her favourites and they will swap out half the potatoes for spinach if you ask, to make it slightly more healthy. I am not a hollandaise sauce fan so i went with the Double Trouble, which was an open faced sandwich with bacon, eggs, and cheese, chipotle aioli and topped with arugula and manchego cheese. It was absolutely amazing, from the thick bread base to the protein heavy middle with the bitter taste of the arugula and the saltiness of the manchego to top it all off. All the flavours complemented each other well and the portion was out of this world. I tried so hard to finish but was unable to get the last few bites in, I even had to take the amazing fresh fruit to go with me to eat later (the fresh fruit was apple, pineapple, dragon fruit, and kiwi, which I consider fancy fruits!). Another person in our party ordered a smoked salmon omelette with fresh fruit which he also received the fancy fruits and a very large piece of smoked salmon. He said the breakfast was very good as well.
The service was fast, friendly and efficent. We got our food quickly and although this was supposed to be a working breakfast, not a lot of work got done, it was actually a silent meal of people savouring awesome food.
I would definitely recommend trying this place out. I can't wait take out-of-towners here to represent Calgary's awesome eateries or coming here with a group of friends.
