| - My husband and I were in Calgary for the weekend, and were having a seriously miserable time (dinner with old friend who'd become a fascist, Air B & B with no AC and a crappy small fan...). Anyway, we were looking for a place for breakfast, and had earmarked another spot, but as we were heading out of Kensington, I happened to glance over and noticed this place was already open. We're early risers (even on the weekend).
We got to the other place, which had lots of construction in front, and it had just started raining, so parking was going to be problematic, and we'd have to run at least a block. So I suggested Red's.
It's nice and spacious, well-lit and bright from all the windows, cool and quirky decor, and our server was enthusiastic and friendly. We were able to walk right in and get a table. What more could we ask? Oh yeah...the food? Was awesome. I had the Quebecoise Crepes stuffed with apples and bacon, with a side of maple syrup. SO good, and so unusual! Hubby got a giant breakfast. We both had lattes, which were perfectly brewed and perfectly hot.
We even came BACK the next day because our first experience was so great! Once again, breakfast was spot on, service was perfect, and we were able to park right out front!
Since our old favorite, Nelly's, has become a bit of a joke in the last 10 years or so, we have a new favorite spot in Calgary!
