The Beltliner

This is such a nicely designed diner, industrial and airy and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the chicken and waffles and were very satisfied with the food as well as huge portions. We even snagged a bag of their local coffee to bring back as a gift when we return stateside.

Wow... what a great place to have breakfast or lunch!! I had the Shakshuka breakfast and my dh had the grilled sandwich with tomato soup! Both were excellent.
I also had a latte and the dh had black coffee. My latte was perfect! He said the coffee could have been strong, but he like the spoon to stand up by itself in his coffee!! Hahaha
For dessert we shared a Nutella banana crepe which was fantastic!! The banana was grilled and caramelize perfectly then chocolate and Nutella was drizzle over the whole thing...
We did have to wait for a table which I understand is normal... the service was outstanding!!
I highly recommend this restaurant!! Although the prices are a little expensive the food was quality!!
Sorry no pictures of the food as we were hungry and forget before chowing down!!
Also make sure you check out the bathroom. Lots of cool posters on the walls!!

I'm told this is a Calgary classic. Large and spacious interior, lots of greenery, the typical diner experience. We went in for brunch and got the chicken and waffles and avocado toast. I got a London Fog, which was good, but this is not really an artisanal coffee kind of place--it was just an Earl Grey tea bag with some milk and sugar. The servers were friendly and prompt.

The chicken was crispy, albeit smaller than I expected--more nugget than tender. The waffle was pretty standard. It came with gravy and syrup. For some reason--and my partner did not share the same sentiment--the gravy tasted weirdly like applesauce to me. The avocado toast comes loaded with micro greens and you get a side. Hash browns were just fine.

We got a side of the pave, which I really enjoyed--it's multiple thin slices of potato all stacked on top of each other and cooked until crisp, drizzled with sour cream. Definitely would have that again.

The Beltliner is a pleasant spot for breakfast or lunch downtown. Seating is booths, tables or counter. The menu has lots of great choices and the bar menu is very good. I had one of the best Bloody Caesars I've had in a long time. Service is fast and friendly. Definitely would return.

Nice diner! Came for breakfast and the service was great. The coffee they serve is a dark roast and one of the better black coffees I've had. The group ordered various bennies and all looked amazing.

I had the Beltliner Benny and it was solid! If I came back I'd probably try another one as they had like 5 different Bennies on the menu.

Somebody with impeccable taste is curating the playlist at this place. The food and coffee are great, service friendly and prompt, and coming from out of town, I expected to pay more for this kind of experience in Calgary. Don't miss the burger.

the best comfort food ever. the soups were divine. the cheese sandwich was perfection. the pave was so good, but leave some for me next time I go because it sells out fast. the service was great, very clean, the bathrooms are to be checked out. have fun, I did.

Great spot for breakfast and brunch! We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The service was very warm and friendly! Definitely would come back again!

The food was absolutely amazing. Some of the best French toast we've ever had and the eggs benny was so good.

The service wasn't great though. One of the waitresses was wearing a sleeveless tank top - which isn't food safe. They also spent more time chatting behind the counter with each other and were come and go with us at the table. No real chit chat or anything.

Absolutely amazing! Surprisingly good shakshuka and friendly service. It was packed so makes sense. I'd definitely go again. Great for dietary restrictions too and kid friendly.
