The service provided by our waitress was perfect. The ambiance, music and setting great. Lots of kids on the lawn are a distraction. Wine pairings are great.

Breakfast

Calgary

About the restaurant

A cozy brunch spot, with a focus on breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes complete with coffee and cocktails. The menu, created by well-known Calgary chef, Andrea Harling, features traditional breakfast favourites like the Rooster Breakfast (2 eggs, maple sausage, rooster potatoes and multigrain toast) and a Smoked Salmon Benny along with non-traditional offerings such as a Coconut Shakshuka featuring poached eggs, tomato coconut chickpea stew with herb tahini. With a new take on "comfort food", Chef Andrea Harling's menu focuses on family and making memories around food, by using her grandmothers Cheese Biscuits recipe and grandfathers Harling breakfast sausage recipe, The Sweatered Hen is a family affair.

About the restaurant

Now Open Daily from 7am to 3pm!

Egg & Spoon was created with a motivation to provide the people of Calgary with locally sourced ingredients in a fresh, forward-thinking approach that will appeal to everyone.

Providing a diverse menu means more to us than offering countless breakfast, brunch, and lunch selections. It means embracing diversity in palettes, health, and life choices. The food you’ll find here is different, playful, imaginative, and yet … familiar and approachable.

The restaurant was very busy but we had a breakfast reservation and were seated when we arrived. The food was very good and the service was well above average.

The staff were amazing, and handled the table of 7 all arriving at different times politely and efficiently. The only negative was in getting the checks paid (all separate) in time to get us to the show on time.food was excellent.
