I never assume that it’s OK to bring a toddler to a restaurant. Not just for our convenience, but also for the business. It certainly isn’t fair to drag a kid to a tiny cafe and blame the business for only having high backless stools, or to a swish bistro and expect them to put [...]

I love breakfast/brunch. I hate lineups. Red Wagon Cafe is lined up to the yazoo on weekends. Solution: go during the weekday. The cafe feels like it’s been in the neighbourhood forever with a loyal, local clientele and suitably old yet funky looking decor. It’s half true. Red Wagon opened last year, but took over [...]
Lineups are the bane of weekend brunchers in Calgary. It’s always a pleasant surprise when you don’t have to stand in line for at least 15 minutes, perhaps cupping a precious cup of coffee while craning your neck to see how far down your name is on the waiting list. The Bistro at Art Central [...] Looking for somewhere new for Sunday brunch (we can only go to Culina so many times in one weekend), Jason’s family and I headed to Café de Ville, which has been in Edmonton for a while but somehow not on our radar. The restaurant is on the ground floor of the three-storey Buena Vista building built [...]
The scene of the crime: OddFellows, a hipster restaurant that’s cleverly embraced its strange, narrow space by seating everyone at a single communal table for 24. Owned by two designers, OddFellows is a quirky, to say the least, environment: crazy light fixtures, a fireplace hung from the ceiling, a wall of colourful bubble alphabet fridge [...]
The corridor at the top of Edmonton Trail near 8th Street should be renamed the Breakfast Belt, or the Bacon Block, or French Toast Township, or the Huevos Hood (WOOO! Someone’s had too much coffee this morning.) Joining the always popular, lined-up Diner Delux, and the weekend brunches of fairly new AKA Bistro, and Big [...]
No visit to Edmonton is complete for us without brunch at Culina. The Sunday menu is smaller and slightly different than its signature Saturday brunch menu, but both still have my beloved bacon and eggs ($15). I can try to pretend I’ll order something else, but I rarely do. The slow braised “bacon” is to [...] Time for an interlude to the China/Hong Kong adventure for something closer to home. First of all, I’d like to apologize to the BMW that I cut off while making a sharp right turn to get to Big Fish. For some reason I thought it was on the left, and realized at the last moment, it [...] |
