Top Lunch restaurants in Calgary, Canada

We loved this place so much we got the merchandise! I got the sourdough French toast with grilled banana---totally worth the price. The best French toast I've ever had.

I visited on a weekday morning and had to wait more than 20 minutes. However, the staff treated my children kindly while I was waiting. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I will visit again.

GOODBYE TO CALGARY, ALBERTA
For my final morning in Calgary, I was treated to breakfast at the Galaxy Diner in the Beltline neighbourhood of the city. It is a tiny, old-fashioned diner with retro flair and a classic menu of all-day breakfast, burgers & milkshakes.......and bottomless hashbrowns and toast. I enjoyed the very well prepared Classic Breakfast. The diner fills up fast, especially on the weekends, but it is worth the wait. II highly recommend checking it out.

I woke up and said I want to go to a classic old school diner, Galaxie Diner checks all the boxes! It feels like a bold twist between classic and contemporary. Serving bottomless coffee and all the hash browns you want, with no compromise for food done right. They don’t sit back on their laurels or aesthetic of being a beautiful diner. Delicious food (I got the burrito, it was amazing) aside, the service is top notch too. They take time to care about who you are and genuinely ask about your day. Galaxie Diner is a rare gem. Thank you to the staff and the cook.

The food was excellent here and it’s a great atmosphere. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Would highly recommend visiting! Just be aware that you could be waiting for a table for a while during peak times.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I sat at the bar right next the kitchen where the staff were putting together delicious looking dishes. Will come back next time I'm in town.

The best french restaurant in Calgary with no doubt.
We have been here several times for dinner and lunch. We're so satisfied with all of the meals we ordered. Every dish was really tasty with flavour. Try their mussels, you'll know what I meant so tasty. Remember to order extra bread to dip with the mussel sauce to enjoy the full flavor in your mouth.

Nice, quaint restaurant - I was craving for moules frites in the city that's done right - this hit the spot. We tried the Provençal and Vaudovan curry Moules frites. I can't take a favorite, they're both delicious. Pair it with their beautiful Chardonnay and order the French Martini to cap it off. We're about 40 kms away from the restaurant, and we'd happily go back to try the rest of the menu items. The calamari was also delicious. I wanted to order the tartare, but it was unavailable when we were there.

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere.
Had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict on a crossiant. Homemade Hollandaise sauce, eggs cooked to order, crossiant was light and fluffy the potatoes were crispy and flavorfull.

The restaurant is small but has a great atmosphere and decor

Can't wait to visit Calgary again to try other food options.

Have fallen in love all over again with this wonderful little gem of a restaurant. Tonight, my son & I dined at Purlieu and we were not disappointed. After a minor misstep in late December, I agreed to giving them another chance and so glad I did. The food is absolutely divine, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is relaxing & calm. I will most definitely return again and again. 5++++ stars in my books!!

The poutine is too salty and the duck is too sweet and greasy. The price is expensive. The service and atmosphere is very good.

This place is Incredible! This is the best night out that we've experienced when looking for the Best service. The Best atmosphere. And the Best French food. 'Impeccable' French dishes that Purlieu Bistro offers - Magnificent!!!
We go to Purlieu and then go out to other places. Upon returning to Purlieu, we sit enjoying espresso and dessert with our guests. We reflect on how impressed we are and that this night soars above the others.

It leaves me with a feeling of an escape to France!

It's truly French! The chefs, the food, the libations and the service are all authentic, and SO Enjoyable!

Words just can't relate, but your senses can...

This is a spot hidden in a community in a strip mall that seems out of place. A true gem, and an experience you won't soon forget!!!

ENJOY!

This is a tiny diner with a retro vibe. The Galaxies burger was tasty and juicy. The banana peppers were there but a few more wouldn't hurt. Other than that small tweak, I wouldn't want anything different.

The hash browns which are endless look bland and like they came out of a box. Then you taste them and realize they are anything but. The flavor of them is like they were first boiled in chicken broth and then fried or cooked on a flat top. They have a nice balance of salty and pepper. They were so good I had a second plate of them.

The milkshakes are thick and delicious. One of the few places I have been to with a malted milk shake.

The breakfast parfait was plentiful with fresh fruit, granola that was still crunchy, and yogurt. The toast it came with is also endless.

Check this place out. Keep in mind it is small and busy so there can be a wait outside.

A nice little hole in the wall that serves up some good food. Small Menu & doesn't seat many tables so best to make a reservation. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food!! And wonderful staff!! Went there last night with my husband and we tried 3 appetizers and we both ordered the mussels and fries and shared the cheesecake dessert. All of it were incredible, so satisfying to eat! Love the atmosphere and the service was awesome as well! Will definitely be going back!

Beautiful restaurant with some of the best food I've ever had! The steam buns and hummus are incredible, you MUST try them!! I love how they've decorated the place, it's very warm and inviting. Great spot for a date night or even a night out with the family, they are really accommodating to everyone.
