Hmmm I'll have to look into that. Last I heard they were only doing it on Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. If it's up and running again evwry Sunday they'll be seeing a lot of me.

It's called Newport Grill, BTW.

Vlad - I just called Newport Grill...they still don't do the brunch buffet since ending it last year. They serve breakfast, which is maybe what you're thinking of. Unfortunately, it's about the quality of A&W's breakfast at 10x the price.

Too late now, but the Hospitality Inn at Southland and Bonaventure has a pretty decent and reasonable brunch. I'd say slightly better than Smuggler's for my money.

Does the Fairmont here do anything nice? I know the one at Banff Springs was probably the best that I have been to.

Oh well - I guess I was given outdated info. If you want a classy lunch/brunch, I would suggest the Heartland Cafe in Okotoks. It's not a buffet, but it's reasonable price-wise and would impress the in-laws. The high society of Okotoks seems to congregate there.

Just an update to minimize confusion, I always forget that the Hospitality Inn isn't called that any more. It's the Delta Calgary South. Right place, right brunch, just the old name before Delta bought the location from Best Western.

Believe it or not, the Wedding Pavilion on the Trans Canada on the way out of town has a pretty tasty brunch. They only offer it from February through April, and it is about $25 a person. But the maple pepper bacon alone is worth the price of admission.

I went to fish there once at the "stocked" lake. Turns out the locals emptied the lake by bait-fishing, and some guests that day had their gear stolen.

Used to be Francisco's. We go there quite often and it is usually very good! Also Mohave Grill at the Deerfoot Inn has a similar and equally good brunch. Carriage House is also another good option. Very little difference in the three.

Yes the Palliser does brunch and it is on par with Banff Springs. Expensive but really good.

I started going to the Banff Springs brunch when it was $20/person... What is it now - $70? And the quality has gone way down...

Like any hotel chain they know how to pump you deep. I believe I paid $14.75 for a glass of Mondavi Cab Sav on my last visit, which had me leaving thinking it will be a while before I'm back. The bottle is worth maybe a few dollars more than that.

There is no way I'm going back, unless somebody else is buying. Just not worth it for what it is. There are many better "values".

A while back, my family really enjoyed the brunch at Pacini, on Barlow Trail north of the airport.
