TRFKAN (The Restaurant Formerly Known As Nellie’s) is called The Loop Breakfast House now. This wasn’t obvious to me, not that it matters since I know where to go: 2015 – 33rd Avenue SW, Calgary.
I’ve gone for breakfast (actually more like brunch, it’s a lot of food) about a half-dozen times in the past year, I bet.
Happy every time.
Today:
$11.95 for the Big Al, which is (gasp) 3 eggs, bacon, French toast or pancakes, regular toast, and potatoes. I was still full at dinner time.
My friend: a fruit plate and an omelette.
Both: coffee and milk. (As in, a serving of milk that you buy, not just a splash in the coffee.)
Total bill, $41.00 before tip.
It’s independent, it’s comfortable, the food is good, and the neighbourhood is developing some atmosphere. A lot of people would say Marda Loop is already funky and pedestrian-friendly. Today was too cold to walk around, and I am not sure I would pick the Loop as my destination of choice for a stroll, but yes, it does have some interesting nooks and crannies.
I like The Loop Breakfast House for a casual weekday breakfast or brunch. Can’t say how it is on weekends; I don’t go out much then!
