    Wow... what a great place to have breakfast or lunch!! I had the Shakshuka breakfast and my dh had the grilled sandwich with tomato soup! Both were excellent. I also had a latte and the dh had black coffee. My latte was perfect! He said the coffee could have been strong, but he like the spoon to stand up by itself in his coffee!! Hahaha For dessert we shared a Nutella banana crepe which was fantastic!! The banana was grilled and caramelize perfectly then chocolate and Nutella was drizzle over the whole thing... We did have to wait for a table which I understand is normal... the service was outstanding!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! Although the prices are a little expensive the food was quality!! Sorry no pictures of the food as we were hungry and forget before chowing down!! Also make sure you check out the bathroom. Lots of cool posters on the walls!!

    Chicken and waffles
    Lin W.

    I'm told this is a Calgary classic. Large and spacious interior, lots of greenery, the typical diner experience. We went in for brunch and got the chicken and waffles and avocado toast. I got a London Fog, which was good, but this is not really an artisanal coffee kind of place--it was just an Earl Grey tea bag with some milk and sugar. The servers were friendly and prompt. The chicken was crispy, albeit smaller than I expected--more nugget than tender. The waffle was pretty standard. It came with gravy and syrup. For some reason--and my partner did not share the same sentiment--the gravy tasted weirdly like applesauce to me. The avocado toast comes loaded with micro greens and you get a side. Hash browns were just fine. We got a side of the pave, which I really enjoyed--it's multiple thin slices of potato all stacked on top of each other and cooked until crisp, drizzled with sour cream. Definitely would have that again.

    Nice diner! Came for breakfast and the service was great. The coffee they serve is a dark roast and one of the better black coffees I've had. The group ordered various bennies and all looked amazing. I had the Beltliner Benny and it was solid! If I came back I'd probably try another one as they had like 5 different Bennies on the menu.

    This is such a nicely designed diner, industrial and airy and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the chicken and waffles and were very satisfied with the food as well as huge portions. We even snagged a bag of their local coffee to bring back as a gift when we return stateside.

    West Coast Toast and Eggs with a side of Hashbrowns

    Hands down one of my favourite brunch places in Calgary (and I've been to quite a few)! Expect to wait for a table on the weekend for brunch, unless you come early (close to opening). The ambiance and decor is modern hipster. Water is served in mason jars and there is booth, table, hip top, bar, and outdoor seating. Staff is extremely friendly and service is great. This visit I ordered the West Coast Toast and Eggs with a side of Hashbrowns. My meal was delicious! I highly recommend trying the Hashbrowns!! They are shaped in a triangular form made of sliced potatoes, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are BOMB! Do not go without trying them, you won't be disappointed! Previously, I tried the mushroom quiche and mushroom bennie, both of which were delicious. My boyfriend had the Chicken and Waffles. He said the chicken was very flavourful and tender and the waffles were soft and perfectly complemented the chicken along with the gravy and maple syrup. The portion is white large, and he had to package up what he couldn't finish. The Beltliner will continue to be one of my top places to go for brunch when I'm in Calgary. I haven't been disappointed yet!

    Great spot for breakfast and brunch! We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was very warm and friendly! Definitely would come back again!

    Caesar Menu
    L R.

    Solid brunch for when you need to brunch hard! The Caesar Menu is hard core, you start with vodka but can sub gin if you prefer. Next you add some free garnishes, like pepperoni, pickle, extra spicy, etc. then things get serious. There are two more categories for garnish that costs extra, such as perogies, bacon, avocado, chicken and waffles or a chocolate chip cookie! The chicken and waffles is a whole meal, so you can stop there if you want. A few of us girls had the French Toast 3.0, a few had the Beltliner Benny, and one friend had the Mushroom Benny (a vegetarian option). The hashbrowns are crazy! They are wedges of fried scallop potatoes basically, perfectly crispy on the edges. Phenomenal French Toast with salted peanut butter whip, banana confit and fruit jam, topped with crunchy brown sugar bits! They don't take reservations, but they are willing to seat your party even before everyone arrives which is nice. Plan to walk in the park across the street after your meal though, it's a lot if food!

    There wasn't anything super amazing about this place, but nothing bad either! The atmosphere was nice & the food was good. I have to say that the hash browns were the best I've ever had. Seasoned perfectly! The prices are a tad steep but that's what you get if you go for breakfast downtown Calgary.

    The beltliner hash bowl

    Came upon this cute place after exploring downtown. Hands down best service and food. Brunch is amazing here, and the proportions are enormous. The vibe is cute, garden cafe meets diner with a modern twist. The beltliner hash bowl was yum, and so was the chicken and waffles. I'd steer clear of the brown butter squad unless your a butter lover, quite heavy in flavour.

    Mushroom Benedict
    Melissa P.

    This restaurant is super cute inside and has very good food. I went for brunch and got the mushroom Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. I would order it again in a heart beat. The only complaint I would have is that the potato served with it does not have a lot of flavour and I think another form of side would be better. But with that considered, I would still highly recommend this place for brunch and will definitely be going back!

    Items Selected: Space Jam & Ricotta 2.0 French Toast - Blueberry Jam, Lemon Ricotta, Powdered Sugar, St. Leon Maple Syrup Perogy Poutine - Potato Cheddar Perogy, Gravy, Hutterite Bacon, Quebec Cheese Curds, Green Onions Saskatoon Berry Pie - Whipped Cream and Vanilla Bean Gelato from Fiasco Gelato Essentially a hotel restaurant, its attachment to Fairfield Inn & Suites next to Central Memorial Park infusing the space with an everything-to-everyone feel from the kitchen forward, The Beltliner fails where many of Calgary's 'reimagined diners' succeed by way of taking itself too seriously, the focus on a theme getting in the way of good, honest cooking as the menu attempts to veer interesting before getting the basics straight. Visited just after noon, the combination breakfast and lunch menu offering everything from Eggs to Salads or Meatloaf, it was having already perused the online options that a patient wait preceded service, the middle-aged woman not near as pleasant as the folks at Diner Deluxe, OEB or Belmont as she perfunctorily jotted down an order before moving on to the next table where she repearted the same routine without even looking up. Trying hard to be hip, the menu running a gamut of gastropub ideas with some more typical options for those desiring something simple, it was with both appetizer and entrée delivered simultaneously that the meal got underway as The Black Keys played overhead, the "Perogy Poutine" a new spelling with a good concept set back by too much Gravy despite great Dumplings and gooey Curds melted to Cast Iron while the "Space Jam & Ricotta 2.0 French Toast" was not soaked enough for its thickness and still dougy even after adding St. Leon Maple Syrup. Annoyed that the Monte Cristo originally entertained was not only un-fried but served with a Mustard Sauce, dessert consisted of tender Saskatoon Berries baked in an all-Butter Crust, the decision to add a scoop of locally-made Vanilla Bean Gelato enough to dissuade a planned visit to their flagship as the texture was icy and granular on the tongue.

    Steak & Eggs
    Mohammad K.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here :) Really enjoyed the food The biscuits were to die for! Steak & eggs was pretty good, but the chicken & waffles gets the home run!!! Can't wait to go back again.

    Merguez and eggs!

I ordered The Gold Standard which is a smoked bacon-stuffed Belgian waffle with slow-roasted bacon lardons, salted caramel, gold dust, and Quebec maple syrup ($19.25). It was very good. The waffle plus the salted caramel and real maple is a serious sweet-savory combo. Paired it with a Caffè Latte made with oat milk ($6), which was smooth and did the job. Service was great.

We loved the chicken and waffles and the Holy CRaB (if that's your sort of food). The waffle dishes have a delicious light almond flavor and were the perfect consistency and texture. My family also loved their hashes, chia seed pudding, crepes and pancakes. Even the drinks were delicious.

Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

By the time it arrived, everything was stone cold. The cheese was literally hard from melting and then going cold, the potatoes were undercooked and raw, and the entire meal was completely inedible. Spending $35 on food that went straight in the garbage is beyond frustrating, it's infuriating. And the $5 "seasonal fruit bowl" looked like someone's picked-over leftovers. A couple random pieces tossed in a container and sent out like that's acceptable? It's honestly disgusting and shows a complete lack of quality control. At this point, I would've been better off ordering McDonald's for a third of the price, because at least it would've shown up hot and edible.
