Not Child Friendly!

If you have small children and are looking for a good place to have breakfast with your family, this is NOT the right one. The food is good and most of the staff is friendly. In fact, I considered myself a frequent client at this restaurant and every time I had a chance I would take family and friends there. Never again. This morning I took my in-laws visiting from abroad for breakfast. I have... more

Avenue Diner Reviews

My last visit to Avenue Diner were with friends that were just coming through Calgary on their way home to Edmonton. We agreed we would meet for breakfast at Avenue Diner.

Prices are good, around the $10 range. The atmosphere is hip-diner-chic. Eat at a booth or at the counter, which... more

The Breakfast Club

I really enjoy dining at the Avenue Diner. They have a good menu, featuring an all-day breakfast with all the classics including eggs benedict, pancakes, oatmeal, bacon, omelets, etc. The staff is pleasant and willing to make any substitutions. This place fills up very fast and gets very busy, especially on the weekends, which results in slow service. Overall, comfy atmosphere (a bit cramped... more
