Spring in Calgary means… patio season is finally back!
The weather gets warmer, the city feels more social, and brunch plans instantly become better outdoors.
If you are looking for patio spots in Calgary that offer some of the best brunch in the city, these are some of the best places to visit this spring.
OEB Breakfast Co.
4132 University Ave NW, Calgary
OEB Breakfast Co. is one of Calgary’s most popular brunch destinations, and for good reason.
While there are four OEB locations to choose from, the University District location offers patio seating during warmer months and is known for creative breakfast dishes and consistently busy weekends.
Because of its popularity, wait times can get long during peak brunch hours, so get your name on the waitlist and grab a coffee at nearby Monogram Coffee while you wait!
The Beltliner
243 12 Ave SW, Calgary
The Beltliner is a long-standing casual brunch spot in downtown Calgary with a lively atmosphere and seasonal patio seating, making some vitamin D and a mimosa the perfect brunch pair!
The menu focuses on comfort food and brunch classics, making it a reliable choice for relaxed weekend plans.
Diner Deluxe Mahogany
106 Mahogany Centre SE, Calgary
Diner Deluxe is quickly becoming a Calgary must-try, offering a laid-back brunch experience with outdoor patio seating during spring and summer and tons of photo ops.
With a relaxed atmosphere and easy access for our SE friends, this is a strong option for slower weekend mornings that don’t involve heading downtown.
Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro Inglewood
4-1420 9 Ave SE, Calgary
Affectionately self-titled as “Calgary’s Favourite Patio Brunch”, Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro knows what they’re doing with colourful brunch dishes and a bright, energetic atmosphere.
The restaurant offers patio seating during warmer months, making it a popular spring brunch destination in Calgary, working especially well for casual brunch dates and weekend catch-ups.
River Café
25 Prince’s Island Park SW, Calgary
River Café offers one of the most scenic and elevated brunch patio experiences in Calgary.
Located inside Prince’s Island Park, the restaurant combines river views, greenery, and a peaceful outdoor setting with delicious, fine dining brunch options for a more special, romantic experience than a typical brunch spot.
The patio becomes especially popular during spring and summer weekends, so make those reservations!
Blue Star Diner
809 First Ave NE, Calgary
Last but certainly not least, locally-owned Blue Star Diner feels like the IYKYK of Calgary brunch spots, offering (in our humble opinion) the best approachable brunch in town.
With a small but mighty patio right on 1st Ave in Bridgeland, you’ll get prime people watching while digging into their takes on breakfast classics or their fantastic vegan options, as well.
