The Beltliner is my ALL TIME favourite for breakfast.
Every time I am visiting Calgary it is a MUST. The hashbrowns are awesome (kind of deep friend, peel-apart scalloped potatoes?!) Their eggs benny with roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil is to DIE for, the quiche is un-be-liev-able, and their Saskatoon Fries are soo yummy (dessert for breakfast- why not?) Lattes are perfect, and served in a giant mug.
I went early one morning and sat down at a table of my choice because I was the first an only customer of the morning. Moments later, a family with a whole bunch of small children came barrelling through the door and piled onto the bench seat right beside me. One of the waitresses didn't skip a beat in politely inviting them to sit in the corner booth on the opposite side of the restaurant. I was so grateful that my relaxing morning was not interrupted.
The decor is cute and kitschy and the girls are all in plaid. It is nice and open and you can sit at the bar if you wake up too early and don't feel like facing other humans.
Great place.
