Default Sunday Brunch

I'm looking for a good, yet reasonably priced Sunday brunch for my birthday this year. Any suggestions?

I like Executive Royal Inn and also Lucianno's is quite good.

The Carriage House Inn is quite good IMO, good value for what you get. I wasn't that happy with Luciano's, not bad food and some interesting stuff but I found the service and the refreshes to be poor.

Haven't tried the Executive Royal Inn yet.

The Blackfoot Inn puts on a good spread.

If you want the all you can eat steak, Nick's is really good.

The best Sunday Brunch in Calgary, bar none, is the Fairmont Palliser's. You might want to splurge as it's a little pricy. Make sure you have reservations. Sometimes they have a chocolate fondue fountain.

I'll third that one. Was about $15 per person. That included juice and coffee. There was pretty much anything you could ask for.

Chestermere Landing is also quite good. Very reasonable at under $20.

You didn't ask for it but on the collossally expensive front . . . . . Priddis Greens. I think it was somewhere north of $30 per person and I was picking up the tab for five.

Even a genuine, but probably phoney, French-accented matre'd whose face will heroically fall on a dime if you inform him you have an extra person more than you said on your reservation. He fussed about, disappeared, came back, fussed some more, then pronounced he might be able to squeeze that person in . . . . . we go around the corner and the place, which can seat about 100, is nearly deserted. I howled!!!

You can't pay enough for stuff like that!!!

Fortunately, my Glen Sather smirk was working well that day.

Just one more reason to hate golf.

Oh, the food was great.

Port O Call isn't too bad, I really like the Royal Inn, they have a good spread but the last time we were there it was really expensive.

I was there a few weeks ago and their variety wasn't too bad but their salads were very sparse. And the quality was not bad, but not $20 worth IMO. I've heard it varies a lot though.

Bernard Duvet is really french. I was of the same opinion as you at first.

Priddis has an awesome brunch and nice views.

Also Wildwood on 4 st is very good.

The Grille at the Banff Springs has a good brunch buffet but I didn't find it nearly as good as the dinner buffet that they serve in the winter.

Agree with the smugglers and the carriage. I find the food a little better at the carriagehouse (I'm an egg bennies brunch guy and find that the smugglers can be hit or miss often over cooked).

I like Melrose' brunch, but the best one I've had is still at the BV Grill in Banff Springs. Banff Park Lodge got a decent one too!

Oh & Happy Early Birthday!

My family used to try to make it out to Heritage Park for brunch every now and then...It was pretty decent from what I remember and Kind of a neat setting. I'm not even sure if they do it anymore but you would need reservations
