About the restaurant

Now Open Daily from 7am to 3pm!

Egg & Spoon was created with a motivation to provide the people of Calgary with locally sourced ingredients in a fresh, forward-thinking approach that will appeal to everyone.

Providing a diverse menu means more to us than offering countless breakfast, brunch, and lunch selections. It means embracing diversity in palettes, health, and life choices. The food you’ll find here is different, playful, imaginative, and yet … familiar and approachable.

Everything was fine. From the moment we were greeted to the end of the dining experience, all of our expectations were met. The service level of the staff was excellent and the food was superb. Our waiter took note of our anniversary and went the extra mile to make us feel appreciated. I believe his name is Aidan. Aidan did an outstanding job last night. Kudos to everyone else, as well.

Overall it was good. Have been back on and off as the brunch is always great and staff and nice. Being a single guest itwas great and surprising in a good way to be given a table instead of the bar, which was not expected especially during this busy Thanksgiving special. Overall service was great and attentive, though for the first 10-15mins felt a bit ignored due to lack of offering of tea and juice. Had to ask for it. Only thing to point out is that a light blue suited staff i believe was a manager , was running around which I understand was a busy period, but the rushing around made the guest experience a bit stressful and negative. Having experience in service industry, I always say roam with glide rather than running like in a marathon.
