If you happen to be a pie lover, you’ll want to revisit the Blackfoot Truckstop Diner sometime after lunch or in the evening to try one of their critically acclaimed pie desserts!

Eggsmart on Barlow
What used to be an old, dirty and run-down restaurant in the Esso Gas Station on Barlow Trail SE has now been converted into a new, clean and upbeat Eggsmart.
You won’t find gourmet meals at this restaurant like you will at some of our other best breakfast restaurants in southeast Calgary. What you do get, however, are some of the best home-style breakfast favourites such as omelettes, hashes and eggs benedict which are cooked well and taste good every time.

Grumans Catering and Delicatessen – Victoria Park
The fast-paced, urban lifestyle of Victoria Park demands restaurants like Grumans Catering and Delicatessen where you can either choose to sit down and eat a gourmet breakfast / brunch / lunch or grab a quick-bite to go while on your way.
We’ve done both, although for breakfast we recommend sitting down and enjoying one of Grumans breakfast options, all of which are easy-to-order online for pick-up. This place also has an extensive list of other lunch and dinner options, but we will leave that one up to you!

Kane’s Harley Diner
Eating at Kane’s Harley Diner almost feels like you’ve transcended reality and into the movie Grease Lightning. Inside you’ll find a quaint ambiance equipped with unfashionable orange paint, antique jukeboxes and motorcycles that makes dining here as enjoyable as the food.
As with most other best breakfast diners in southeast Calgary, you’ll find simple home-style meals on the menu at a very affordable price. Kane’s signature is simplicity and affordability and has always been consistently good every time I’ve visited.

Mom’s Place Family Restaurant
If you love affordable home-style breakfast, then you’ll want to check out Mom’s Place Family Restaurant. Located just off International Avenue in the deep southeast, this restaurant offers a lot of bang for your buck with more than affordable breakfast meals that leave you full and smiling every time.
Keep in mind that Mom’s Place is all about simplicity; however, unlike many other of the best breakfast restaurants in southeast Calgary, you can easily get a satisfying meal here like two eggs and hash browns for well under $10.00. Two people can easily eat here for under $20.00 including tip. What a deal!
