MONKI

Monki in The Beltline

Our first breakfast club located in Calgary’s beltline!

Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro Beltline

Our original Beltline breakfast club is located along the southwest corner of Downtown Calgary on 10th Ave SW right across from Community Natural Foods. Upon coming here, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast in one of Calgary’s oldest heritage buildings! The building’s unique red brick character and artsy surrounds will have you feeling warm & right at home. We are excited to share our building with the Banbury Lane Design Center, one of Calgary’s premier home hardware boutiques.

Having been consistently voted the best neighbourhood in Calgary, the Beltline hub boasts numerous artisan boutiques, specialist local supermarkets as well as trendy cafes, bars & restaurants. In addition, the community is just a few blocks away from the trendy Kensington district located just across the Bow River.

Parking

Despite being at the periphery of downtown Calgary, parking is surprisingly easy to find here! Public parking is available throughout 10th avenue and 12 street SW at modest rates of $1.50 per hour on weekdays and just $0.50 per hour on Saturdays! Furthermore, unrestricted FREE parking is available just a few blocks away on 14th avenue SW.

If you didn’t know, we have bike racks located right in front of our establishment on 10th Avenue SW! Monki loves cyclists!

Planning Your Brunch Visit

Our Beltline-Calgary breakfast club was showcased on Food Network Canada’s Big Food Bucket List on Season 1 Episode 8 ‘For the Love of Brunch’. Being small albeit incredibly cozy, the breakfast club does tend to have a wait on the weekends. However, you can skip the wait & ‘Get in Line’ virtually on your phone. We will then simply notify you on when to make your way! We aren’t accepting reservations right now due to our limited seating but we do have our large,spacious&kid friendly Inglewood location!

Be it a weekend family outing or a quick catchup before shopping, a fulfilling brunch at our iconic Beltline spot is sure to make your day better!
