Weekend brunch spots in Edmonton to get you outta bed
Brunch is probably the best meal of the day (or weekend). It has it all - some breakfast, some lunch and a whole lot of awesome. Eggs and steak? No problem. Chicken and waffles. Got ‘em. Crepes, pancakes, French toast, waffles and eggs any style. You know it. Rise and shine and come out to enjoy a little Saturday mid-morning fare.
State & Main
5015 111 Street, Edmonton, AB T6H 4M6) If you’re in the market for a traditional brunch menu with a twist, this is it. The banana bread French toast is pretty spectacular, with the banana bread dipped in Bailey’s Irish Cream egg wash. It gives it that je-ne-sais-quoi and puts a smile on your face. It’s served with brown sugar butter and it’s to die for - seriously.
Manor Casual Bistro
10109 125 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 1S7This restaurant is located in a lovely 1920s-era mansion and has a lot of great charm. They offer complimentary fresh fruit to begin, which is always a nice way to start off your brunch. Continue with their homemade banana bread and pecan maple butter. You’ll want to eat just that, but don’t. Try the steak and eggs if you’re extra hungry or the braised beef short rib Benedict - a nice twist on the old favourite.
