| - 'Twas the night before the night before Mother's Day, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...except for a six year old snoring and a mother on a Yelpy quest for the perfect Saturday early Mother's Day brunch with her baby...
Truthfully, it took me until after midnight to find this newcomer on Yelp amongst all of the other great diners and brunch spots in Calgary. What won me over was the $5 kids menu items, as well as a great selection for the big kid at the table too!
When we arrived the next morning, we knew there would be a little wait. Our hostess took my cell number and said they would text us when our table was ready (fabulous!!). So baby and I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie that was very aptly described as a "something that tastes like a squashed brownie" (baking courtesy of Corbeaux...simply amazing cookie, btw), and a Fratello coffee. We went across the street and sat in the sunlit park while we waited for our table. The text came way faster than we expected and we were seated immediately upon our return.
My little one had the chocolate chip pancake (and I stress - singular - she couldn't even finish the one...and that is saying something for the Pancake Monster!). I ordered the PB&J Pancakes - fig jam, my
favorite, and pistachio butter. Both dishes came with healthy dollops of house-churned butter and delicious authentic maple syrup.
Can I just talk about the staff for a minute? They were all so helpful, friendly and actually TALKED to my 6 year old. You all rock in my world!
I have been telling all of my friends about you, Beltliner, and we will come back with friends!!
