Breakfast Club YEG

Breakfast Club YEG is a group of ladies in Edmonton, Alberta Canada who get together on a monthly basis to have breakfast and catch up. For three years we have been content to do just that, but now we’ve decided to chronicle our breakfast adventures. This blog is as much for us as it (hopefully) is for you.

Poor Patio Attempts
In both July and August we hoped to enjoy some quality, sunny patio time. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. In July we went to the Courtyard Marriott Downtown, this was basically a fail on all fronts. When going to the table we couldn’t tell between clean and dirty tables, t...

Earls Tin Palace
In the summer, we try and choose locations where we can sit outside on a patio and brunch in the sunshine.  Edmonton knows how to take advantage of our glorious summer days! We’d heard recommendations that Earls does happy hour brunch before noon, so in June, we met on Jasper Avenue at Earl...

Our May plan was to take a road trip to try an out of town restaurant, but plans fell through (I’m not going to disclose where we planned on going in case we end up making it there another time, you know, build some suspense). The 4 of us who could still meet chose to … Continue readi...

It’s starting to feel like spring!  I ended up biking across the river to attend Breakfast Club this morning.  I’ll admit: when I set off, I was a little unsure.  The morning was still quite crisp and the wind was downright nippy.  A friend-of-a-friend gave us a tip that Rooster Cafe ...

Red Goose
February found us at a family-run diner, across from Hazeldean Park – Red Goose.  I’m pretty sure this spot has been around forever and it’s just what you’d expect. My favourite part was the hand written receipt.  They have the short-hand nailed down.  This reads: bacon, h...

Meeting at Meat
Posted
January we headed to Whyte Ave to experience the smoked glory of Meat. Meat doesn’t take reservations, and since we had a group, we made sure we were there early to get a spot in line for opening time. We got a spot alright,  we were first through the door! I don’t know if this …...

For almost the whole first year Chartier was open in Beaumont, I lived just outside the town but never made it there. When we decided on the November Breakfast Club date I just happened to be dog sitting in Beaumont and convinced the other ladies to make the journey out there to try it out. ̷...
