MONKI

Monki in Inglewood

Come get breakfast in calgary’s oldest & boldest neighbourhood!

Be it a weekend family outing, business lunch or a brunch date, enjoy a fulfilling breakfast dining experience in Calgary’s Inglewood. 

Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro Inglewood

From The Beltline to Inglewood

For almost 6 years since opening our original Beltline joint, ‘Small space, long waits’ was the most frequent complaint we continued to receive. We could only address this by expanding into a new location – at a neighbourhood that fits the ‘Monki mantra’ – innovation, collaboration & community. Where else would that be besides Inglewood! Our Inglewood breakfast club was opened in April 2019. 

About Inglewood

Located just east of downtown Calgary, Inglewood nurtures a culturally rich community of local artists, musicians, boutiques, eateries, breweries attracting locals & tourists alike. The neighbourhood boasts iconic live music destinations like the Blues Can and Ironwood Stage and hosts a variety of festivals aimed at promoting local artists & businesses such as Jazz YYC, Sunfest, Fringe Festival & Mid Winter Film Festival. Furthermore, Inglewood is a popular family attraction with its proximity to Calgary Zoo, St. Patrick’s Island Park, East Village & the Fort Calgary Histroic Park. 

Parking

In Inglewood, Parking is predominantly free & relatively easy to find. You will be able to park for free (2 hours) along our block on 9th avenue SE or in the nearby streets – 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th. Being of course incredibly cyclist friendly, the neighbourhood is fitted with bike racks throughout the Main Street (9th Ave) and adjacent streets. 

Planning Your Brunch Visit

With a capacity of almost double our Beltline location, our Inglewood breakfast club offers a comfortable, spacey & family friendly dining experience in Calgary. We aren’t accepting reservations due to our limited seating. If you plan to walk-in during the weekend, you may experience a wait-time. You can instead skip the wait & ‘Get in Line’ virtually on your phone. We will then simply notify you when to make your way!. 

Enjoy a delicious start to your day by getting breakfast in Calgary’s artsiest neighbouhood!

The food is the best breakfast food I’ve had at any restaurant, health and taste. Me and my gal go to many breakfast places, and this one takes the cake! Service was impeccable, extremely nice servers that don’t bother you while you eat. The atmosphere was amazing with an amazing soundtrack and a really aesthetically pleasing interior.

The brisket poutine was awesome, and Edris was the best will be back
Well, let me tell you, it was an absolute flavour explosion! The caramel latte ☕️ was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. And the kimchi mash? Oh my goodness, it was a perfect blend of tangy and savoury flavours . Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tasty adventure! 🍽️😋Edris provided outstanding service during my visit. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful dining experience. His positive attitude and excellent customer service truly made my time at the restaurant memorable. 🌟😊Also, From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with a warm smile and provided attentive service throughout my meal. Kudos to the restaurant for their exceptional customer service! 👏😊

This is an excellent place to go for brunch, but it is very busy and good to know. There is a waiting list that you can get on before you head that direction as it is extremely packed on Saturday and Sunday Friday is a better day not quite so busy. The food is excellent and feels and looks like it is home-cooked.

Monki in Inglewood is our go to for brunch. The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. James and team offer a pleasant atmosphere and recommend their favourite dishes. Today my family enjoyed the Brisket, Bacon and Salmon Eggs Benedict. If you are looking for a cozy spot to brunch in a hip little neighbourhood in Calgary I would recommend Monki!

Living only blocks away, my boyfriend and I have been here multiple times now. The food and service have always been impeccable. I highly reccomend you get on the waiting list before you arrive as it is a small place and it gets packed easily, which I dont mind, the best places are often like this 😉 Food wise, I typically like sweet stuff, but here, I prefer the savory dishes. My go-to is the avocado toast with smoked salmon, and my boyfriend's is the brisket poutine. Both delicious!

Joined the waitlist and the table was ready in no time on a Saturday around noon. Staff immediately offered us a high chair and got our little settled with pancakes straight away. Pancake tacos (3) for me and salted caramel latte with brisket hash for hubby. No complaints whatsoever. Great people watching spot along the window, fabulous service and super flavourful food! You can’t go wrong.
