| - Solid place for brunch in the area - In the area of Calgary. It doesn't really matter where you are in the city, if you're looking for a good brunch, Dairy Lane is gonna be a great pick.
Located in Bridgeland, a.k.a "The Calgary Breakfast Belt", running down the southern portion of Edmonton trail and along 1st Ave NE, Blue Star Diner has no shortage of competitors in the area. With OEB and Diner Deluxe nearby, you're bound to get a good meal no matter where you wind up, but while Diner Deluxe take a similar concept, they twist it with their own unique from-farm-to-table charm.
Comparatively, while OEB has some unreal breakfast, you're gonna have to wait a while and it will sort of feel like you're eating it in an (adorable) closet. Blue Star, on the other hand, while not without it's own wait times, will give you a bit more freedom to stretch your legs, chat with your friends over the tasty meal you just had and maybe order one more MANmosa for the road. Yeah, a manmosa: It's a tallboy of pilsners cut with orange juice. Rugged and surprisingly refreshing.
There are some delectable menu options but I always keep getting back to the bennies. The eggs benedicts are top notch for a city that does brunch well. What the hell do you put in your hollandaise sauce, Blue Star? Is it dreams? Love extract? What?
